Eymel Deas ran for a career best 238 yards and scored both touchdowns as Dryden opened Division V play with a win. The Purple Lions are 1-1 overall.
“It was a hard fought game with sloppy possessions,” Dryden coach Dan Fink said. “Our defense came up big with some key fumble recoveries and an interception by Hunter Senecal.
“The game had the same feel as our double overtime win last season,” he added. “Our kids rebounded well from some early mistakes and put together a nice long 15-play drive with four third-down conversions to eat the clock in the final quarter.”
Deas scored on a three-yard run in the first quarter and ran in from 24 yards in the third quarter. The Purple Lions converted both two-point conversions tries for the deciding points.
Dylan Mosher led Trumansburg (0-1 division, 0-2 overall) with 100 yards on 13 carries. Mosher scored a Trumansburg touchdown on an 18-yard run. Colin Fellows added a two-yard burst for the other Blue Raider touchdown. The home team converted two extra-point kicks.
Dryden will play its home opener Friday. The Purple Lions will host Greene (2-0) with a 7 p.m. kickoff.
