Sept. 13
Penn Yan/Dundee 34, Newark/Marion 20
The Scottish Mustangs won their first official game of the season, winning at home on Penn Yan's Senior Night and beating Newark/Marion by 14. PYD scored the first touchdown of the night near the halfway mark of the first quarter with a run-in from Braden Fingar. A second TD was cancelled out by a holding call as the first quarter expired, and then again after the Mustangs ran it in six seconds into the second quarter. However, PYD finally picked up their second set of points as QB Eli Raplee connected with receiver Aven Foster in the endzone. A successful extra point put the score at 14-0, staying that way into the half.
Newark/Marion came back in the second half, scoring their first points three minutes in. The Reds got an interception at the goal line to stop a third Mustangs TD, but after N/M was held to a three-and-out, PYD blocked the punt and ran the ball in from the Reds' 22-yard line to put the score 21-7.
Raplee had a 40-yard run for the Mustangs' next score in the beginning of the fourth quarter, an impressive feat considering the young quarterback suffered an ACL tear at the very beginning of last season and is technically still in recovery. N/M rallied in the fourth thanks to a 62-yard TD off a screen pass to Levar Moore and a bad snap by PYD that gave the Reds the opportunity to score again, though a blocked extra point kept it from becoming a one-touchdown game.
With six minutes left in the game, Foster got a half-field return for the Mustangs, and a strategy of keeping the ball on the ground and running out as much of the clock as possible gave N/M little room to recover. A final rushing touchdown by Fingar sealed the deal for PYD.
"I'm impressed with the offensive line," said Penn Yan head coach Sal Sciallo after the game. "They didn't give up, they kept going...they just kept pushing."
Sciallo took over head coaching duties this year from former PY head coach Tim McBride, sharing the head coach position with Dundee HC Sheldon Gibson. Sciallo had been an assistant coach for the team before that.
"When adversity hits, our kids come together," said Gibson. "We found that it's been a theme this preseason, they've been totally selfless, looking out for each other and nobody is working to get the big stat line. Everybody's working to get the [win] and that was apparent tonight."
Eli Raplee ended the game with 114 rushing yards and two TDs, though only a single completion, albeit one that resulted in a touchdown. Braden Fingar ended with 26 carries, 185 yards, and three TDs. Brighton Grant had 74 yards on 10 carries.
For Newark/Marion, QB Michael McGavisk went 15/24 in passes, ending the game with 239 total yards and two TDs; while Levar Moore had eight rushes and nine catches for 213 total yards and one TD.

PENN YAN - August 18 saw the return of the annual Peasantman Steel Distance Triathlon Series to Indian Pines Park in Penn Yan. Nearly 400 competitors from across North America came to the Finger Lakes for a jam-packed day, consisting of ten different race options – in the triathlon, duathlon, and relay categories.
Thunderstorms cleared out just in time for the start of the swim, with the Full Steel Distance kicking off right on schedule at 7 a.m., followed by the Half, Intermediate, and Sprint distance races; 275 swimmers entered the lake, and all 275 completed the swim - well within the cutoff time.
"Today went incredibly smooth, no hiccups really'" said Race Director Joe McMahon. "There was a little bit of wind, but we somehow dodged the nasty weather. Everybody was happy, everyone was safe." He added, "The team around me is the best people I could be lucky enough to find. Everybody is 100% dedicated to everything that we do. We're not just staff, we're family."
To date, First Knight Racing (the management team for Peasantman) has donated over $49,000 to local organizations around Penn Yan since 2013.
"With the largest field in the event's history, we were likely to see some course records – and we did; four in total," says race organizer Steve Anderson. "We'd like to thank anyone and everyone who has helped us along the way, from the athletes to the volunteers, to the villages and surrounding towns who have embraced us for 12 years.'
