Now the battle for Class B West football supremacy hinges on a single game, with Westhill attempting to do what six previous opponents in 2014, including Marcellus, have failed to do – stop a Homer offense that has averaged more than 60 points per game.

Thanks to the Warriors’ 51-13 victory over Chittenango Friday night, which took place just as Homer was pulling away from Marcellus 61-30, the Warriors and Trojans both head into next Friday night’s regular-season finale sporting 6-0 records, and the winner of that game will claim the B West title.

It wasn’t until Westhill defeated Marcellus 27-12 on Oct. 3 that the Warriors merited a place in the state Class B rankings, at the no. 17 spot. Now all it had to do was avoid looking past Chiittenango, and that didn’t prove too difficult of a task.

Richie Easterly got the Warriors going against the Bears with a 36-yard touchdown pass to Chase Gedney in the opening period, but that was just the prelude to Westhill’s second-quarter eruption, where it piled up 35 unanswered points.

Ja’Shai’ Jamison, who ran for 100 yards on 17 carries, got it started, scoring from five yards out. Minutes later, Joe Rainone took a Bears punt at his own 42-yard line and, finding his blocks, raced 58 yards to the end zone.

A third TD in the period came from Jamison’s four-yard run, but the Warriors weren’t done. Easterly found Donovan Whipple for a 28-yard scoring pass, and right before halftime Westhill drove to Chittenango’s seven-yard line, from where Easterly connected with Whipple again.

Up 42-0 at halftime, the Warriors could relax a bit, but it still got to see Easterly, who completed eight of 11 passes for 193 yards, go 39 yards for his own TD run in the third quarter. Mike Burton, who went six-for-seven on extra points, added a 23-yard field goal.

By then, everyone knew what had taken place at Homer, where the Trojans had a brief moment of concern, but quickly erased that stress by recording its own 35-point second quarter to pull away from Marcellus.

Trailing 7-0 in the opening period after Homer blocked a punt that Alec Bush returned for a touchdown. Marcellus surprised the Trojans by getting a touchdown pass from Mike Keegan to Will Coon and a two-point conversion to go in front 8-7, the first time all season that Homer had trailed.

Marcellus didn’t stay in front for long, though. Drew Cottrell’s 47-yard scoring pass to Jayden Gavidia put the Trojans back in front, 14-8, and that set the table for the second-quarter Trojan outburst.

Bush got it going, scoring on a 61-yard run, with Homer adding a safety and field goal before Bush returned to get three more TD’s in the period, on a pair of four-yard runs, plus a 15-yard sprint.

Amid it all, Keegan did throw a 30-yard TD pass to Coon, but Marcellus still trailed 49-16 at halftime, and Bush would score for a sixth time in the third quarter, finishing with 285 yards on the ground on 18 carries.

Ian McGloon would score late in the game on a 65-yard run, but the Mustangs, who will finish third in the B West standings, fell to 4-2 and will meet 0-6 Phoenix next Friday as Westhill takes its ultimate measure against Homer.
