GAME SUMMARY

One sign read, "Beat Cony and Beat Cancer". Unfortunately the battle of beating Cony was not going to take place this night, with the first quarter being scoreless. Cony's quarterback Luke Dunklee took off on a 60-yard sprint for the 1st touchdown of the night, and later went to the air for a pair of TD's to some of his sure handed receivers.
