SHERBURNE – For a quarter and a half, Sherburne-Earlville looked a lot like the team that streamrolled its way to five straight wins to end the 2010 season. Then the wheels fell off one at a time.

The Marauders were bogged down by penalties and then more infractions throughout the second half, and although Frankfort-Schuyler was just a tad less sloppy, it was able to rally for a 28-21 victory.

The Maroon Knights turned the ball over in the fourth quarter twice – one leading to go-ahead S-E touchdown. Yet, big plays atoned for those miscues. Gerald Post returned a touchdown 79 yards for a touchdown to close the gap to 21-20. Following an S-E punt, the Knights drove 70 yards for the decisive score in just over a minute’s time. Quarterback John Gatto hit receiver Vinny Fumarola over the middle. Fumarola shucked off an S-E tackle attempt around the 15, and raced into the endzone with just 47 seconds remaining the game.
