The Antioch Sequoit football team couldn’t survive the Marian Central Hurricanes last Friday on October 27 in the first round of the class 5A playoffs, making this year’s record 9-1.

The chilly weather made the ball slippery and contributed to the Sequoits 4 turnovers, which all added onto the Hurricane’s score.

Halftime concluded with a field goal from Marian’s 25-yard field goal by kicker Matthew Darbro, leaving the Sequoits shutout with a score of 10-0.

Junior linebacker Kevin Tamayo was able to catch a huge interception halfway through the third quarter and was able to push the ball an extra 15 yards. The interception lead to a field goal made my Antioch’s junior kicker Jay Brown in order to put some points on the board making the score 10-3 Marian.  

The Marian Hurricanes retaliated and quarterback Gavin Scott scored a touchdown with 22 seconds left in the third quarter making the score 17-3.

Going into the fourth quarter, Antioch’s senior quarterback Branden Gallimore scored the only Sequoit touchdown to make the score 24-9 Marian.

However, the Marian Hurricanes had one last trick up their sleeve and followed through with a clear pass to Pasquale Ricciardi in the end zone, ending the game on a high note with a final score of 31-9.

While the Sequoits lost the game, they had a great season and ended with a back-to-back conference championship title.
