For the 2nd straight week, Spectrum News 1's cameras were at CBA, this time with Shaker providing the opposition in a rematch of the 2024 Class AA Super Bowl.
The Brothers won the coin toss, and took the opening kickoff straight to the house. JT Vogel fielded the kick at the CBA 16, and found a seam in front of the Shaker bench. 84 yards later, Vogel was in the end zone. Teddy Gialanella added the extra point, and CBA had a sudden 7-0 lead, just 15 seconds into the game.
It didn't take long for Shaker to answer.
Austin Marohn, the 1st year starter at quarterback with Marcus Snipes gone (Snipes moved to Georgia in the off-season), found Bless Demand in the back of the end zone for a 30 yard score. Demand outjumped Amare' Coffil for the catch. However, the extra point was no good, and CBA led, 7-6, after the 1st quarter.
CBA had the ball to start the 2nd quarter, and wasted little time finding the end zone again. This time, Thomas Toher ran it in from 5 yards out. However, Gialanella's kick missed the mark, and it was 13-6.
Back came the Bison.
On the next CBA possession, Avery Jones intercepted a pass from Archie Jones (no relation), and, four plays later, scored a touchdown himself from 38 yards. The PAT tied the score, and we were heading to Mockingbird Lane at the break, with the score 13-13.
After a Shaker turnover to start the 3rd quarter, Coffil caught a 31 yard touchdown pass from Archie Jones, with CBA back in front. It was 20-13 as we headed to the 4th quarter. Determined not to let CBA take their measure again, Shaker came back, and Ryan Chudzinski ran it in from a yard out after Marohn hooked up with Demand on a long gainer to give the Bison 1st & goal. A 2 point conversion gave Shaker its first lead.
Admittedly, CBA actually helped out Shaker as they kept tripping over themselves with penalties, as usual, at very inconvenient times. However, with Shaker out of time outs, the Brothers mounted one last drive, ending with Gavin Potter catching a TD pass from 4 yards out. Toher sealed the deal with a 2 point conversion to put CBA back in front.
Shaker, however, had one last chance, but Marohn squandered it on the very first play, as Jack Hulett intercepted him near midfield. Two kneel downs later, and CBA secured a 28-21 victory, matching the final tally in the Super Bowl 11 months ago.
Next week, Friday Night Matchup will feature Burnt Hills vs. Ballston Spa. Shaker plays Shenendehowa, and CBA will play Guilderland.
