Sports  Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk loses another close game - Football Posted on: 10/07/09 Rob Jonas, Sports Editor email: jonasr@spotlightnews.com The Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk football team can’t seem to catch a break. One week after losing to Cohoes by seven points, the Indians (1-4) couldn’t hold on to a fourth quarter lead in a 13-12 loss at Schalmont last Friday. “They’re playing great,” said R-C-S coach Gary VanDerzee. “We as coaches just have to put them in a position where they can make a play late.” The Indians took a 12-7 lead on quarterback Tyler Swart’s 17-yard touchdown pass to Matt Garza in the third quarter. The score stayed that way until late in the fourth quarter when Schalmont quarterback Vince Gallo took off on a 40-yard run to set the Sabres up deep in R-C-S territory. Gallo capped the series with a 4-yard touchdown run to put Schalmont (2-3) ahead for good. Gallo finished with 177 rushing yards and two touchdowns, despite the best efforts of R-C-S’s defense. “We shut him down really well,” said VanDerzee. “We just missed an assignment on his 31-yard run early on that set up Schalmont’s first touchdown, and we missed a couple of tackles on his 40-yard run on the last series.” In other weekend football action, Bethlehem (2-3) ended a three-game losing streak with a 20-13 victory over Shaker last Friday. Devin Stampley’s 85-yard touchdown run sparked a late Eagle comeback to pull out the win. Guilderland (1-4) lost to Saratoga 48-6, while Voorheesville defeated Coxsackie-Athens 36-15 to improve its record to 4-1.You can contact jonasr@spotlightnews.com with any questions.
