Aquinas 17, Hilton 10

Trent Buttles’ 42-yard touchdown pass to Alexis Rosado with 38 seconds remaining proved to be the game-winner in a heavyweight clash between the Class AA foes.

After trading a pair of field goals in the first half, Aquinas found the end zone first as Buttles connected with Noah Collins-Howard for a 30-yard score. The L’il Irish led 10-3 at the break.

Early in the 3^rd quarter, Hilton star running back Robert Lowry threw a 22-yard pass to Luke Lockhart who maneuvered his way into the paydirt to tie the game at 10.

The game turned midway through the 4^th quarter when Aquinas freshman defensive back Thomas Levans III picked off a Hilton pass to stifle their drive. After a few tough runs from Derrion Battle to move the ball down the field, Buttles launched a deep pass to Rosado for the game-winner with less than a minute to go.

Buttles, who is just a freshman, completed eight passes for 153 yards and two touchdowns while Battle had 110 rushing yards on 25 carries. On defense for Aquinas, Lucas Leone had ten tackles and Quante Gillians had five tackles to go along with two sacks.

Irondequoit 36, Schroeder 27

The Eagles jumped out to a 20-0 lead in the first quarter, then used strong defense in the second half to move to 6-1 on the season.

Cam Freeman opened the game with a rushing touchdown on the first drive of the game, his first of two on the night. Schroeder started the game off slow, fumbling the ensuing kickoff which led to an Irondequoit touchdown, then throwing an interception on the next drive which led to the 20-0 advantage for the Eagles.

Schroeder responded as Drew Hilfiker threw three of his four touchdowns in the first half to make it 28-21 at the break.

The Warriors marched down the field on the first drive of the third quarter, converting three fourth downs. The second went to left tackle William Bigham who reported as an eligible receiver, and the third went to Anthony DeRosa in the end zone. The extra point was no good, however, keeping Irondequoit in front 28-27.

Irondequoit used the remainder of the third quarter to ground and pound their way to Schroeder territory, with Freeman scoring at the start of the fourth quarter to push the lead to 36-27. Freeman also stopped any chance of a Schroeder comeback, recording his second interception of the game on the following drive.

Fairport answered on the next possession as Jackson Rucker threw a 37-yard touchdown pass to Patrick Nobes to cut the deficit to six, but they could not find the equalizer as they turned the ball over on downs on their final possession.

They marched 80 yards, with Jonathan Schmitt finishing off the drive with a rushing touchdown to make it 21-14. The Titans got the ball back with just over three minutes to play, but the potential game-tying drive lasted just four plays as the Saints forced a turnover on downs to seal the game.
