TRUMANSBURG — Spencer-Van Etten/ Candor looked poised to add another win to its record before a costly interception helped Trumansburg turn the tables and defeat the Eagles, 28-6, here Friday night.
When Blue Raiders quarterback Vinnie King inadvertently touched a knee on a low snap, it gave SVEC the ball at the T-burg 22. Unfortunately for the Eagles, Eamon Herman was able to step in front of a Jakobe Foster pass for an interception in the end zone.
The Raiders would proceed to march 80 yards and score on a 1-yard run by Aiden Clark-Cebezas, who also added the PAT kick with 6:17 remaining in the fourth quarter to give the home team a 14-6 lead.
With 1:49 to play, King found Dafydd Williams for a 28-yard TD pass and a Clark-Cebezas PAT kick made it 21-6.
The Raiders drove the nail into the coffin when Foster was hit from behind at his own 31, causing a fumble which Anthony Murro II scooped up and returned for a TD. Another Clark-Cebezas PAT kick made it 28-6 with 1:31 left on the clock.
