Weedsport's run halted by champs

SYRACUSE - For four precious minutes, the Weedsport football team looked like it could pull off the upset of the 2009 Section III tournament.

The Warriors, facing No. 1 state-ranked Westmoreland for the Class D crown Friday night, seemed to have the Bulldogs in unfamiliar territory - behind on the scoreboard.

Westmoreland, who has been beating its opponents by an average of 52 points, fumbled away its first possession. No. 7 Weedsport scored and stunned the Utica-area fans.
