Three wins, three different scorelines
After losing 46–12 to Millbrook/Webutuck on September 19, Tri-Valley beat Fallsburg 26–8 and Rockland Central 22–12. Thursday added a road win in a game with considerably more scoring.
| Date | Opponent | Tri-Valley result |
|---|---|---|
| September 26 | Fallsburg | Won 26–8 |
| October 3 | Rockland Central | Won 22–12 |
| October 8 | Pine Plains/Rhinebeck | Won 46–32 |
That response deserves attention. One difficult afternoon against Millbrook has not defined the Bears’ season. They have followed it with three wins and put themselves in a position to make the next stretch matter.
Thursday also gives them something to work on. The 46 points are an encouraging offensive result; the 32 allowed make defensive improvement a useful focus before the next road trip.
Sullivan West is next
Tri-Valley is scheduled to visit Sullivan West on Friday, October 16, at 7 p.m. That is the next chance to see whether this winning stretch carries into another road test.
For Pine Plains/Rhinebeck, the next scheduled game is at Millbrook/Webutuck on Thursday, October 15. Scoring 32 against Tri-Valley gives the Bombers something to build on, but they will need a better defensive result to turn that production into a win.
