Vestal won the last time they faced Proctor and things went their way on Friday too. The Golden Bears blew past the Raiders 42-22. Given the Golden Bears' advantage in MaxPreps' New York football rankings (they are ranked 46th, while the Raiders are ranked 150th) , the win wasn't entirely unexpected.

Adams rushed for 144 yards and two scores while picking up 7.6 yards per carry while Kitchin rushed for 60 yards and a pair of touchdowns on only five carries. Adams didn't just play on offense: he also picked up 0.5 sacks and made 14 total tackles.
