Oneonta Yellowjackets boys varsity football triumphed over the visiting Charles O. Dickerson Blue Raiders with a 31-14 victory this past Friday. The home game against the Trumansburg team promised to be a good matchup, as both teams came into the October 3rd showdown with a 3-1 record on the season.
The Yellowjackets took control early with a combination of a dominant defensive performance and an unstoppable running game. All of Oneonta High School’s scores came from running the ball. Quarterback Chase Jervis rushed for four out of the team’s five touchdowns on the night. Jervis ran for more than 170 yards total.
On the other side of the ball, Trumansburg’s offense could not get anything going. The Yellowjacket defense swarmed the ball anytime the Blue Raiders got any momentum going. The Yellowjackets controlled the game on both sides throughout all four quarters.
The night started off with the Yellowjackets winning the coin toss. They opted to defer the ball. And on the opening kickoff, the home team attempted an onside kick to surprise their visitors. The Blue Raiders managed to control the ball, though it amounted to nothing, as Oneonta held Trumansburg to five total yards on the first drive, forcing a three and out.
