The West Seneca West Indians haven’t had to face much adversity over the last two seasons.
Winners of 20 straight entering the night, the defending New York State Class A Champions have utilized tough defense and exciting offense to pull away from most opponents during their run. On Friday night, it took a full 48-minute effort that came down to the final seconds as the Indians punched their ticket to the Section VI Class A Championship for the second-straight season, topping the Starpoint Spartans 50-49 in an instant classic at West Seneca West High School.
The win came thanks to what could be considered the biggest decision in the history of West Seneca West Football.
After scoring to make it 49-48 before the extra point, Indians head coach Mike Vastola chose to keep his offense on the field and go for the win instead of kicking the extra point to send the game into overtime.
Rolling out to his right, West quarterback Maurice Robertson avoided a tackle and reached into the endzone to give his team the lead with just 41 seconds left. Senior John Speyer would seal the win with an interception on the ensuing Starpoint drive.
“I had guys asking me when we had just gotten the ball if we were going for two,” Indians head coach Mike Vastola said. “We wanted to eat up the clock, and keep their offense off the field. We wanted to run the ball, and we got what we wanted.
“We wanted the ball in our hands. I wasn’t going to let their offense get it back, even in overtime, and give them a chance because their offense was incredibly efficient.”
The Indians started fast, jumping out to a quick 21-0 lead halfway through the opening quarter as Speyer struck quickly with three touchdown runs, including an 89-yard run down the sideline.
“The offensive line did everything they could tonight so I owe it to them,” Speyer, who finished with a West record 305 yards rushing and four touchdowns, said. “We knew tonight was going to be a tough game, and they came ready.”
West took advantage of two Starpoint turnovers to build the early lead as linebacker Mike Glinski intercepted Quarterback Aaron Chase’s first pass attempt of the game. On the next Starpoint possession, running back Brendan Gawel fumbled the ball away, setting up the second Indians score.
With it looking like yet another West rout early on, the Spartans battled back thanks to the play of their star quarterback as they managed to tie the game at 21 before the end of the first quarter. They would take their first lead of the game with less than a minute left in the first half when Gawel would find Chase on a halfback pass on 4th and goal from the five, making it 28-21 at the half.
The shootout continued in the third quarter with both teams scoring at will.
The Indians tied the game at 28 just two minutes into the half, but Starpoint regained the lead just three minutes later. With the game tied at 35, Chase ran for his second touchdown of the game from nine yards out to give the Spartans the lead once again, but the extra point was blocked, making it 41-35 after three.
Speyer’s fourth touchdown of the game gave the Indians their first lead of the game — 42-41 — since being up 21-14 in the first quarter. Unfortunately for West, the Spartans had yet another answer.
With just 3:38 remaining, Chase found the endzone once again for his third touchdown pass. After running in the two-point conversion attempt, the Spartans led by seven with a chance to seal the game with a defensive stop. West, however, had other plans in mind as they would methodically march downfield before punching it into the endzone and converting on the two-point try.
With their spot at New Era Field now locked, the undefeated Indians will meet crosstown rival West Seneca East for the second time this year. The matchup marks the first time that the two West Seneca schools will face each other for the Section VI Class A Championship.
“They should really be coming for us (after the last game), and I hope they are,” Robertson said. “We’re coming for them.”
