It would be week #3 of the New York State Football season and we would see an out-of-section game as the Ausable Valley Patriots would travel to Massena and take on the Red Raiders as they were looking for their first win of the season as the Red Raiders look to stay perfect on the year. The game would start off well for the Red Raiders as they would get the opening score of the game with 3:30 left in the first quarter on a 20-yard touchdown pass to Dominic Murtaugh and take the 8-0 laead. The game would stay there till halfway through the 2nd quarter when the Raiders would strike again on a 40-yard pass to Garrett Weir and extend the lead to 16-0. Then just two minutes later the Red Raiders would start to take control of the game and a 29-yard run score by Carter King making the game 22-0 Raiders. The Raiders would finish off the scoring in the first half on Dominic Murtagh's second score of the game this time from 38 yards to make it 30-0 at the half. When the teams would return for the second half it would look like more of the same as the Red Raiders scored 2:32 into the half on a Carter King goal-line score to make it 36-0. However, the Patriots would have an answer this time as Dylan Bombard would get the Patriots on the board with an 18-yard run with just under five minutes left in the third quarter at 36-7. The Patriots would keep up the scoring as they would get another one 5:38 into the fourth quarter on a 5-yard run by John Fletcher making it a 36-14 game. However, the Red Raiders would put any hopes of a comeback away when Donovan Turner scored on a 42-yard run with five minutes left in the game to make it 43-14. Although the Patriots would keep up the fight and Ian Bombard would score on the goal line with 3:30 left in the game to make it a 43-21 game. That would be where the game would end as the Massena Red Raiders get the win 43-21 and go to 3-0 on the season as they head into the game next week against Malone Huskies. As for the Ausable Valley Patriots will look to get that first win of the season next week as they host the Saranac Lake Red Storm. Gallery
