La Salle tops Amsterdam
Fenton’s 99-yard score sparks Cadets
Bo Catherwood rushed for three touchdowns and Brady Fenton had a gamechanging 99-yard touchdown reception to spark La Salle to a 25-8 win at Amsterdam on Friday in a Class A football contest.
The Cadets hadn’t generated much offense through the first 18 minutes when Fenton hauled in a pass from Eddie Yamin and raced the length of the field to give La Salle a lead it would not relinquish. James Shatas tackled Catherwood in the end zone for a safety to give the Rugged Rams the early lead.
Amsterdam had a chance to take a larger lead, but could not put up points after three trips in La Salle territory early in a game plagued by turnovers and penalties.
After Fenton turned the momentum in La Salle’s favor, Catherwood took over. He had a 10-yard rushing touchdown on the opening drive of the third quarter and punched in his second touchdown with 10:28 left in the fourth quarter to give the Cadets an 18-2 lead.
Trying to rally, Amsterdam was stopped on fourth and goal with eight minutes left, but Tommy Ziskin hit Ceasar Thompson with a 38-yard touchdown pass with 5:25 left.
Yamin and Fenton hooked up on a 33-yard completion to extend a drive and Catherwood capped the drive with his third trip to the end zone to seal the win.
