Groton 28, Greene 20

GREENE – Groton turned back a potential tying Greene score midway through the fourth quarter and hung on for the eight-point over the Trojans on Friday night at Greene.

The state-ranked Indians methodically drove down the field for the go-ahead score chewing up clock late in the third quarter with a powerful run game and scored the go-ahead TD early in the fourth.

Greene converted some key third downs on its ensuing drive, but an interception inside the Groton 30 ended the potential scoring drive.

“We showed a lot of resilience and heart,” said Greene head coach Dave Gorton, who added that a number of key players had lingering injuries from the previous week. “We made plays, just not enough plays. Groton is big up front. Their running back was a returning all-state player, and their quarterback was fast. They are a legitimate team.”

All three Greene (1-1) touchdowns came through the air.

Jaden Eroshevich tossed a TD pass to Joel Vielandi in the opening quarter, and added a pair of TD passes to Bill Dunlap in the second and third quarters.

“We’re close to where we want to be, and we’re only going to get better,” Gorton said.

Greene hosts Hamilton-Waterville this weekend.
