On the last weekend of summer the Cooperstown Redskins blanked the Mohawk-Richifield Springs Tribe 30-0 to remain undefeated headed into a showdown next Saturday against Holland Patent who are also undefeated.

Cooperstown’s  Scott Millea caught a 42 yard pass from quarterback Tyler Hoke in the first quarter and running back Alec Silvera scored from 3 yards out gave Cooperstown all the scoring they would need right off the bat.  Redskins defender James McArdle blocked a punt out of the end zone for a safety to make the score 16-0 Redskins at the end of one quarter.  Silvera again scored from 3 yards out in the second quarter and again from 7 yards out in the 3rd quarter to finish the scoring attack for Cooperstown. 

Silvera finished with 15 rushes for 113 yards with Tanner Niedzialkowski running it 13 times for 46 yards.  Tyler Hoke threw for 62 yards and a TD on 3-8 passing.  Mohawk-Richfield Springs falls to 0-3 and will play at the Golden Bombers next Friday night in a battle of winless teams.
