IDDLETOWN, NY — Somebody forgot to let the “Dawgs” out. M In Saturday’s Section 9, Class C semi-final matchup between the top-seeded Eagles of Burke Catho- lic and the #4 Sullivan West Bulldogs, Burke jumped out to a 21-0 lead in the first frame. The varsity-level game was played October 29 at Middletown High’s Faller Field. The Eagles soared on a 40-yard sprint by U.S. Army- bound senior running back Garnett Nicolas (5:31) and a 21-yard pass completion by Brian McHugh to Mark Przy- bocki (3:47), which was followed in short order by a 38- yard aerial hookup to Austin Londo at 1:20. All PATs by Burke’s ace foot soldier Dennis Lee sailed through the uprights, adding three points to their over- all tally. In the second quarter, Burke scored on a 44-yard run by Przybocki at 10:37. Sullivan West (4-5) got on the scoreboard at 9:26 as Col- TRR photos by Ted Waddell lin Hauschild connected on a 39-yard pass to Mike Mul- Burke’s David Ross pursues Bulldogs QB Collin Hauschild.

Burke (6-3) responded with three unanswered touch- downs to close out the half at 49-6 in their favor: a 21-run run by Nicolas (6:41); a 44-yard pass to Londo (4:40); and with 18 seconds remaining in the half, Nicolas took into the promised land from the five-yard line. Once again, Lee’s foot added 3 three points. At 9:56 in the third frame, Burke’s David Ross scored on a one-yard charge to put the Eagles up by 49 points, while Lee contributed a PAT to make it 56-6. To lead off the final quarter, Burke’s coach sent in his freshman squad in a show of good sportsmanship at the helm. Lee racked up three-points on a 31-yard field goal at 8:45 to put the Eagles up 59-6 Sullivan West kept fighting to the end, as they scored Burke’s Brian McHugh grabs a pair of TDs: Hauschild linked Burke’s Mark Przybocki scored a touchdown after being tackled by Colin Hauschild and Thomas Sullivan West’s Austin Melchick as up with Mike Mullally on a 36- Stauch of Sullivan West. he scores the game’s final TD. yard completion at 5:59, and in quick succession connected on a Burke racked up 513 total yards on 44 plays. the second half… they battled back.” 20-yarder to Austin Melchick in The aerial attacks were fairly equal: Sullivan West for Kevin Ross, first year coach of the Eagles, summed up the end zone. 135 yards, while Burke had 150. the win.
