Tight Defensive Win for Rye over Greenwich
Tight Defensive Win for Rye over Greenwich
Rye HS beat Greenwich on the road 12-7 last night.
This was, clearly, a defensive battle and it wasn't until the second half that Greenwich was able to get their lone try.
It was 12-0 at halftime after tries from flanker Andrew Wilmarth and No. 8 Owen Welburn. Archer Fenton converted one of those.
This was an extremely competitive game with Greenwich’s dangerous halfback combination testing Rye repeatedly. Rye's defense was outstanding, handling the physical part of the game well and just staying connected. Greenwich played fast and their tacticaly kicking was effective, but Rye stuck to their plan.
"Greenwich is a strong side, well coached, and always a great opponent," said Rye Coach Jim O'Hara.
Rye moves to 3-1 on the season, which includes two close road wins over highly-ranked teams (the other being Georgetown Prep).
Shawnigan Lake out of British Columbia visits Rye this coming week.
