Friday Night Wrap: Newburgh Ends the Cornwall Drought, Beacon Stays Perfect and Week 3 Delivers

All 12 Friday Week 3 finals are in. Newburgh shut out Cornwall, Beacon moved to 4-0, Burke rolled, Dover won late and Ellenville closed the 8-Man slate with a 44-30 win.

Friday night is in the books across Section IX.

KOT845 has all 12 confirmed finals from the September 25 Week 3 slate.

Newburgh ends a 17-year drought

Newburgh 31, Cornwall 0

Exactly 17 years after Newburgh last beat Cornwall on September 25, 2009, the Goldbacks did it again — and this time they left no doubt. Newburgh carried a 17-0 lead into halftime, stayed in control through the third quarter and finished the night with a 31-point shutout.

Beacon is 4-0

Beacon 12, Marlboro 6

Beacon survived a late Marlboro push and remained perfect. The win is also the first Beacon victory over Marlboro found in the current KOT845 historical archive. The two earlier indexed meetings were Marlboro wins in 1980 and 2024; older meetings may still be missing from the archive.

Washingtonville answers Pine Bush

Washingtonville 42, Pine Bush 28

Pine Bush cut a 35-21 halftime deficit to seven in the third quarter, but Washingtonville answered and restored the two-score margin before closing out the win.

Valley Central handles FDR

Valley Central 34, FDR 7

The Vikings jumped out early, led 27-7 late in the first half and never let FDR back into the game.

Saugerties owns the second half

Saugerties 36, New Paltz 14

This game was tied 14-14 at halftime. Saugerties then shut New Paltz out after the break and scored 22 unanswered to pull away.

Dover wins a wild finish

Dover 18, Chester Academy 13

Chester drove the field and grabbed a 13-12 lead late, but Dover answered. Conor Drnek found Matt Ogana for a 43-yard touchdown pass to put the Dragons back in front for good.

Burke turns the unbeaten matchup into a statement

Burke Catholic 52, Highland 6

Both teams entered 3-0. Burke left no doubt, pulling away for a 46-point victory and moving to 4-0.

Minisink sends Monroe-Woodbury to 0-4

Minisink Valley 21, Monroe-Woodbury 6

Minisink scored after an early Monroe turnover and controlled the game from there. The Warriors close Friday with a 15-point win.

Lourdes takes care of Kingston

Our Lady of Lourdes 31, Kingston 20

Lourdes built an early lead and finished off an 11-point home win over Kingston.

Wallkill shuts out Monticello

Wallkill 33, Monticello 0

Wallkill led only 7-0 at halftime before taking over after the break and finishing the night with a shutout.

Sullivan West rolls on the road

Sullivan West 34, Eldred 6

Sullivan West built a four-score advantage and closed out a convincing road victory.

Ellenville closes the Friday slate with a win

Ellenville 44, Pine Plains/Rhinebeck 30

Ellenville closes the Friday board with a 14-point 8-Man road win and hands Pine Plains/Rhinebeck its first loss of the season.

Saturday is next. Week 3 continues with the Erie Bell Game between Port Jervis and Middletown, Goshen-Warwick and the rest of the Saturday slate. Section Nine Football also lists James I. O’Neill over Poughkeepsie by forfeit, so that matchup will not be played.
