The Homer Trojans got off to a great start, holding Cazenovia to 0 points, while scoring 22 points of their own in the opening quarter. The Trojans would go on to get a 29-0 lead before Cazenovia scored their first points.
Homer’s outstanding first half performance allowed them to have a 25 point lead (42-17) at the end of the half.
"I think we were a little fired up coming in,” said Homer Head Coach CJ Kudla. “We were up 29-0 to start the game and then we talked about the importance of keeping the focus. Many teams can get up by that much and lose focus of the big picture of - 'are we using this to get better?'”
