AP uses ground game to run past Maginn; Friday's Section II scoreboard
AVERILL PARK — A season ago, Bishop Maginn High School’s football team sacked Averill Park quarterback Ryan Macari five times to roll to a victory over the Warriors.
This year, Averill Park changed the gameplan and kept it on the ground.
Tyler Dunworth ran for 184 yards and three touchdowns on nine attempts as the Warriors scored seven unanswered touchdowns and piled up 384 total rushing yards in a 49-20 Section II Class A Southeast Division victory over the Griffins at Averill Park High School.
Macari threw the ball just once, watching as Matt Joe leapt over a pair of Maginn defenders, snagged the ball and scampered 69 yards for a touchdown.
On Dunworth’s 51-yard touchdown run 90 seconds into the third quarter, he broke through a tackle attempt by nearly every Bishop Maginn defender as his legs just kept pumping and carried him into the end zone.
“Our line makes it all for us,” Dunworth said. “Ryan Macari is making great reads and our wide receivers are amazing. Chris Gummer is doing an amazing job blocking out there. So is John Rockwell. All of them. It’s beautiful.
“The blocks are up front. It’s not even me running the ball, it’s them making me a hole. But I do what I can, you know?”
Bishop Maginn (1-1, 2-2), which received a team-high 89 rushing yards on seven attempts from Shaquille McCarthy, jumped out to an early lead on Matthias McKinnon’s two-yard touchdown run just under five minutes after kickoff. The Griffins had been forced to punt after a three-and-out on their first series, but received the ball back when John Sica’s punt attempt hit an Averill Park player and was recovered by a Maginn player.
Dunworth ran for 58 yards on three of the four plays on the ensuing Averill Park drive, leading the Warriors to the tying score.
Thanks to dominating line play on both sides of the ball, the Warriors scored three touchdowns in both the second and third quarters to pull away for the division triumph.
Matt Joe added 134 all-purpose offensive yards for Averill Park (69 receiving and 65 rushing on three attempts).
Senior running back Chris Miller, who is also one of Section II’s top sprinters on the track in the 100-meter dash, gained 24 yards on four attempts. Finally healthy in 2010, Averill Park head coach Zach Gobel is hoping he can emerge as yet another weapon out of the backfield.
“I think he had a concussion his sophomore year and last year it was the ankle,” Gobel said. “We got him back this year and we know what he can do on the track. The track staff did a great job with him. I wanted to run toss with him a couple of times and game and hope to get eight to 10 yards a play and he’s exceeded expectations by far.”
Bishop Maginn had won games against Averill Park each of the past four years by a combined score of 132-13. Averill Park last defeated the Griffins, 41-20, on Sept. 30, 2005.
Averill Park (2-0, 3-1) has drawn inspiration this season from a pair of losses to Class A rival Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake. The Warriors were knocked out of the first round of the playoffs by the Spartans a season ago. This year, Averill Park lost a 42-0 decision to Burnt Hills in Week Two.
“We all knew we were going to be a great team, but when we played Burnt Hills, we got a wake-up call,” Dunworth said. “Now everyone is in to play hard all the time. We’re not putting our heads down anymore. We’re not giving up. We’re not turning off. We’re playing all we got all the time.”
Next up for Averill Park is Southeast Division rival Lansingburgh (1-0, 3-1) on Friday. The team is going to enjoy the big victory over Maginn, but they know the division race heats up even more in Week Five.
“This means nothing to us,” Dunworth said. “Nothing at all. Next week we have Lansingburgh and they’re a team.”

Here is an excerpt from Brien Bouyea's report on the Niskayuna-Shaker game. For the full story, check out Saturday's edition of The Record.
LATHAM -- Chris Landers was in all the right places at all the right times for the Shaker High School football team on Friday night.
Landers, a sophomore defensive back, thwarted three Niskayuna drives with interceptions and the Blue Bison did just enough on offense to register a 21-14 Class AA Liberty Division victory over the Silver Warriors on homecoming night at Arthur E. Walker Field.
Landers snuffed out a Niskayuna drive with a leaping interception in the end zone late in the first half and snared another key interception on the Silver Warriors’ opening drive in the second half. Landers’ interception early in the third quarter led to the game-winning score for Shaker, a 5-yard touchdown run by junior Kyle Bernard.
Form there, the Blue Bison defense bent but never broke in keeping Niskayuna out of the end zone for the remainder of the game. With the victory, Shaker improved to 3-0 in the division and 4-0 overall, while the Silver Warriors slipped to 2-2, 2-2.
"It’s a huge win for us. Niskayuna is a tough team and they kept coming at us, but we hung in there and made the big plays when we needed them," Landers said.

This year, Averill Park changed the gameplan and kept it on the ground.
Tyler Dunworth ran for 184 yards and three touchdowns on nine attempts as the Warriors scored seven unanswered touchdowns and piled up 384 total rushing yards in a 49-20 Section II Class A Southeast Division victory over the Griffins at Averill Park High School.
Macari threw the ball just once, watching as Matt Joe leapt over a pair of Maginn defenders, snagged the ball and scampered 69 yards for a touchdown.

On Dunworth’s 51-yard touchdown run 90 seconds into the third quarter, he broke through a tackle attempt by nearly every Bishop Maginn defender as his legs just kept pumping and carried him into the end zone.
“Our line makes it all for us,” Dunworth said. “Ryan Macari is making great reads and our wide receivers are amazing. Chris Gummer is doing an amazing job blocking out there. So is John Rockwell. All of them. It’s beautiful.
“The blocks are up front. It’s not even me running the ball, it’s them making me a hole. But I do what I can, you know?”
Bishop Maginn (1-1, 2-2), which received a team-high 89 rushing yards on seven attempts from Shaquille McCarthy, jumped out to an early lead on Matthias McKinnon’s two-yard touchdown run just under five minutes after kickoff. The Griffins had been forced to punt after a three-and-out on their first series, but received the ball back when John Sica’s punt attempt hit an Averill Park player and was recovered by a Maginn player.
Dunworth ran for 58 yards on three of the four plays on the ensuing Averill Park drive, leading the Warriors to the tying score.
A gang of Averill Park tacklers wrap up Bishop Maginn's Antoine Johnson during Friday's game. The Griffins gained 221 rushing yards on 42 attempts, but many of those yards came in the fourth quarter.
Thanks to dominating line play on both sides of the ball, the Warriors scored three touchdowns in both the second and third quarters to pull away for the division triumph.
Matt Joe added 134 all-purpose offensive yards for Averill Park (69 receiving and 65 rushing on three attempts).
Senior running back Chris Miller, who is also one of Section II’s top sprinters on the track in the 100-meter dash, gained 24 yards on four attempts. Finally healthy in 2010, Averill Park head coach Zach Gobel is hoping he can emerge as yet another weapon out of the backfield.
“I think he had a concussion his sophomore year and last year it was the ankle,” Gobel said. “We got him back this year and we know what he can do on the track. The track staff did a great job with him. I wanted to run toss with him a couple of times and game and hope to get eight to 10 yards a play and he’s exceeded expectations by far.”
Averill Park senior running back Chris Miller runs with the ball Friday night against Bishop Maginn. One of Section II's premier sprinters during the track and field season, he's added some speed to the Warriors' backfield.
Bishop Maginn had won games against Averill Park each of the past four years by a combined score of 132-13. Averill Park last defeated the Griffins, 41-20, on Sept. 30, 2005.
Averill Park (2-0, 3-1) has drawn inspiration this season from a pair of losses to Class A rival Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake. The Warriors were knocked out of the first round of the playoffs by the Spartans a season ago. This year, Averill Park lost a 42-0 decision to Burnt Hills in Week Two.
“We all knew we were going to be a great team, but when we played Burnt Hills, we got a wake-up call,” Dunworth said. “Now everyone is in to play hard all the time. We’re not putting our heads down anymore. We’re not giving up. We’re not turning off. We’re playing all we got all the time.”
Next up for Averill Park is Southeast Division rival Lansingburgh (1-0, 3-1) on Friday. The team is going to enjoy the big victory over Maginn, but they know the division race heats up even more in Week Five.
“This means nothing to us,” Dunworth said. “Nothing at all. Next week we have Lansingburgh and they’re a team.”

LATHAM -- Chris Landers was in all the right places at all the right times for the Shaker High School football team on Friday night.
Landers, a sophomore defensive back, thwarted three Niskayuna drives with interceptions and the Blue Bison did just enough on offense to register a 21-14 Class AA Liberty Division victory over the Silver Warriors on homecoming night at Arthur E. Walker Field.
Landers snuffed out a Niskayuna drive with a leaping interception in the end zone late in the first half and snared another key interception on the Silver Warriors’ opening drive in the second half. Landers’ interception early in the third quarter led to the game-winning score for Shaker, a 5-yard touchdown run by junior Kyle Bernard.
Form there, the Blue Bison defense bent but never broke in keeping Niskayuna out of the end zone for the remainder of the game. With the victory, Shaker improved to 3-0 in the division and 4-0 overall, while the Silver Warriors slipped to 2-2, 2-2.
"It’s a huge win for us. Niskayuna is a tough team and they kept coming at us, but we hung in there and made the big plays when we needed them," Landers said.
