Sullivan West easily handles Pine Plains in league opener

Bulldog miscues prevent win by a much larger margin

By RICHARD A. ROSS

PINE PLAINS, NY - For all intents and purposes, you can sweep aside Sullivan West’s first three games: two losses against overpowering Section IV schools and last week’s blowout over Class D LMR.

In the final analysis, what matters most are the league games against Class C rivals Tri-Valley, Pine Plains and Millbrook. Two of these four teams will play for the Class C title at Dietz Stadium in November, and if the Bulldogs want to extend their two-year run as Section 9 titleholders (2004 Class B, 2005 Class C), they have to concentrate their efforts on the teams that are in their way.
