Brandon Fox and the Lancaster Redskins fell in the Section VI Class AA quarterfinals to No. 2 Kenmore West. The Redskins finished 3-5 overall this season.

Ford, Walker-Johnson lead Kenmore West to playoff victory over Lancaster in quarters By Jonah Bronstein SPORTS REPORTER

In what coach Rich Harris described as “a real rollercoaster ride,” Kenmore West emerged from a shutout loss last week at rival Kenmore East to win its playoff opener in dominating fashion. The Blue Devils rushed

for 435 yards Saturday (Oct. 25) to beat Lancaster, 41-21, in a Section VI Class AA quarterfinal at Crosby Field. Junior running back Terrell Ford racked up 267 yards and two touchdowns, while junior quarterback and fellow track star DeAngelo Walker-Johnson sprinted for 117 yards and three touchdowns,

while throwing for another score. “Our line blocked excellent,” Walker-Johnson said. “I gie all the credit to them. They gave us holes and we hit them.” Kenmore West, seeded second in Class AA, will host third-seeded Orchard Park at 2 p.m. Saturday. The winner will move on to the sectional champion-

ship game at Ralph Wilson Stadium. Orchard Park beat Kenmore West, 35-18, on Sept. 13, but WalkerJohnson missed the game due to injury. “That really hurt me that I couldn’t be out there,” he said. “We’ve got to come out this week and be focused. Because this is the biggest game of the year so far.”

Sekuterski has sights set on Depew passing record By Jonah Bronstein SPORTS REPORTER

When Dylan Sekuterski stepped in at quarterback for an injured Anthony Buono last fall, Depew coach Brian Wilson wasn’t sure what to expect. Buono was on pace to set many of the Wildcats passing records, while Sekuterski was a promising junior starting in the defensive secondary and known more for his athletic ability than his passing prowess. Wilson decided to see what Sekuterski could do on his second snap, splitting four receivers out wide and sending them all on vertical routes. Sekuterski completed a 35-yard pass to classmate Nick Perrine. “And we never looked back from there,” Wilson recalled this week.

After losing 7-0 in their big rivalry game to close out the regular season, the Blue Devils answered the bell early against Lancaster, opening an early 12-0 advantage and taking a 26-7 lead into halftime. “You go from winning the division on a Thursday night over a really good Williamsville North team and then laying an egg at

Cheektowaga defeats Depew, advances to semis

Kenmore East, it really puts a dent in your armor, in your confidence,” Harris said. “Sports, I think, is 90 percent confidence. I said to them, ‘work hard, and everything will be erased.’ And that’s what happened.”

One might have expected a much larger celebration for the Cheektowaga High School football team on Friday night (Oct. 24). After all, the Warriors had snapped a run of first-round misery and eliminated defending Section VI Class B champion Depew with an impressive 41-24 victory. And while the scoreboard on the South side of the field was certainly cause for cheers, the real buzz came from cell phone checks. And even more excitement came from the news that the Warriors will get a chance to atone for a lopsided Week 7 loss.

It will be Cheektowaga vs. Maryvale again next weekend. The third-seeded Warriors owned the second half on Friday night in front of a packed house. The Flyers, coming off a 35-6 win at Cheektowaga a week earlier, won 7-0 at East Aurora. “We want Maryvale next week,” said Cheektowaga fullback Dreqon Trotter, who had two sacks on defense and a rushing touchdown on offense. “They took our pride away last week so I want them bad.” Cheektowaga will get a chance to atone a Week 7 disaster against rival Maryvale as the Flyers visit the Warriors for the second time in three weeks. The Maroon Madness Rivalry had been all Cheektowaga for more than a decade but Maryvale snapped a 12-game losing streak to the Warriors in style in Week 7.
