Randolph tops Newfane for Class D title

Unable to build on a long touchdown run on the opening kickoff, Newfane dropped a 49-16 decision to Randolph in the Section VI Class D championship game this evening at the University at Buffalo stadium.

Jake Morello returned the opening kickoff 75 yards for a touchdown for Newfane but the next 49 points and the victory belonged to Randolph.

Randolph took a 15-8 halftime lead on a 60 yard touchdown run by quarterback Davion Johnson.

The Cardinals then broke the game wide open in the third quarter with three touchdowns on two TD passes by Johnson and a 28 yard TD run by Alexander Garland to take a commanding 36-8 advantage.

The Randolph lead ballooned to 49-8 early in the fourth quarter.

Newfane’s only other touchdown came on a 75 yard pass play from Jesse Hughey to  Rian Czaja midway through the fourth quarter.

Randolph will now face the winner of Saturday’s Section V Class D championship game between Notre Dame/Byron-Bergen and Pavilion/York in the Far West Regional on November 20 at SUNY Brockport.
