No Chenango County football team has made more postseason appearances than Norwich, who returns to the Class B playoffs for the second straight year under head coach John Martinson.

On tap tonight at 7 p.m. is a road date at Owego Free Academy (6-2) Section IV, Division IV champions by virtue of a 30-13 win last weekend at Johnson City. The Indians were coming off a lopsided loss to Maine-Endwell the previous week, but were much improved and quite impressive in victory over JC. Dan Baileys ran for 118 yards and two scores, Derek Knapp had a rushing touchdown, and quarterback Scott Larrabee threw his 11th touchdown pass of the season.

“Seeing them against Johnson City, they have a balanced, but diverse offense,” Martinson said. “They ran it well off tackle last week, they have a strong fullback, and their offensive line is impressive. Larrabee is a good quarterback, and the faking is tremendous. It’s a well-oiled offense.”

Larrabee has shown tremendous efficiency in the passing game completed 50 percent of his attempts (43-for-86), while throwing for nearly 79 yards a contest. He doesn’t favor any particular target, although David Bensley has a team-best 12 catches to go with three scores. Joe Terenzi has rushed for a team-high 597 yards, while Baileys and Knapp each have over 300 yards rushing this season.
