Kean’s green machine shreds Tri-Valley

Eldred forces six turnovers and McCormick throws four TD’s in non-league rout

By RICHARD A. ROSS

ELDRED, NY - Eldred rode a fine defensive effort and outstanding quarterbacking by Nick McCormick to a resounding 37-7 win over Tri-Valley.

While everything worked in Tri-Valley’s favor in their comeback win over Millbrook last week, against Eldred, the Bears couldn’t get out of their own way.

Eldred capitalized on six Tri-Valley turnovers by turning most around for quick scores. As Tri-Valley coach John Rusin pointed out after the game, “You can’t give a fine team like Eldred all those extra opportunities.”

Touted as one of week six’s top games, this non-league match up between 4-1 Eldred and 4-1 Tri-Valley was a tough one to call.

These were fitting thoughts for a brisk October night under a full moon as Tri-Valley and Sullivan West revved up for their first-ever girls soccer game under the lights.

It was parents’ night at Sullivan West and each of the team’s players handed flowers to their supportive kin.
