Football Preview: Lansingburgh Knights vs. Schuylerville Horses
The Lansingburgh Knights will challenge the Schuylerville Horses at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the two teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Lansingburgh is headed out to face Schuylerville after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they were looking for. Lansingburgh took their matchup at home on Friday with ease, bagging a 41-14 victory over Watervliet/Heatly. The win was some much needed relief for the Knights as it spelled an end to their three-game losing streak dating back to last season.
Meanwhile, Schuylerville had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They enjoyed a cozy 38-20 victory over Camden on Friday. Given the Horses' advantage in MaxPreps' New York football rankings (they are ranked 123rd, while the Blue Devils are ranked 287th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Landen Cumm was a one-man wrecking crew for Schuylerville as he rushed for 191 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.3 yards per carry. The dominant performance gave him a new career- in rushing yards. Another player making a difference was Ollie Bolduc, who rushed for 87 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries.
Bolduc wasn't the only one working in the rushing yards department: Schuylerville was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 431 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 167 rushing yards in 12 consecutive contests dating back to last season.
Schuylerville's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged two passes before it was all said and done. The picks came courtesy of Bolduc and Cumm.
Lansingburgh was dealt a bruising 42-0 defeat at the hands of Schuylerville when the teams last played back in October of 2019. Can Lansingburgh avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
