Good Morning! With the Border Country Sports Report, I'm Keith Harrington.
When I first saw the score I thought it was a typo. Someone sharing it must have hit the wrong key right? Wrong! After seeing a photo on social media of the scoreboard at Mechanicville High School I knew it was true.
Warrensburg-Lake George claimed a regional title and advanced to the state semifinals with an 85-34 rout of Gouverneur in the Class C quarterfinals.
Tristen Hitchcock, the Wolverine's bruising fullback had a game like very few have seen before. Hitchcock had seven touchdowns. Yes.....I said seven. HItchcock scored on 1, 8. 2, 3, 1, 1, and 2 yard runs. He finished with 41 yards on 12 carries.
Brody McCabe also had a huge game with 333 yards on 27 carries with two touchdowns.
Landon Olden added 197 yards on 18 carries and a score.
Luke Sheldon caught a 44 yard scoring strike from Caden Allen.
The game was more competiive than the final score indicates. The Wolverines led just 16-13 after a quarter. The second and third quarters were decisive. Warrensburg-Lake George outscored Gouverneur 61-19.
Holden Stowell completed 11 of 22 passes for 274 yards and four touchdowns for Gouverneur. Raine Rumble caught six passes for 134 yards and threetouchdowns.
Warrensburg-Lake George now advances to meet Section IX champion James I. O’Neill Saturday at noon at Middletown High School. The Wolverines are 12-0 in the season.
