SOUTH DEERFIELD — The “Red Hawk Express” is back and in full effect.

Frontier Regional racked up 363 yards rushing and five touchdowns en route to a 38-18 victory over Drury in an independent football game Friday night.

“We’ve got a lot of guys who can do a lot back there,” Frontier coach Don Gordon said of his backfield Aaron Landry (12 carries, 192 yards), Steven Worthley (nine carries, 88 yards) and Seth Gewanter (14 carries, 69 yards). “Once we get some of the fundamentals figured out, this team may be a little bit scary.”

It certainly was for the Blue Devils, who seemed to have no answer for the Red Hawk running attack, at least in the early going. It took Frontier nine plays and 1 minute, 49 seconds to march 63 yards before Gewanter blasted in from the 1 for the first of his three touchdowns. Worthley caught the 2-point conversion pass from quarterback Myles Freeman to make the score 8-0.

The Red Hawks scored again on the next series when Landry took a handoff and tore up the left sideline for a 92-yard touchdown run. Gewanter took in the 2-point conversion to make it 16-0.

Drury answered on the next series when quarterback Obilio Rodriguez hit senior wideout Hayden Bird for a 64-yard touchdown pass. Bird was Rodriguez favorite target, with four receptions for 116 of the Blue Devils’ 121 yard passing.

A fumbled snap on the 2-point conversion kept the score 16-6. Gewanter scored on a 16-yard touchdown run, followed by a failed conversion to make the score 22-6 Red Hawks at the end of the first quarter.

It wasn’t a clean game for Frontier, which turned the ball over four times on fumbles, one of which was returned 85 yards for a touchdown by Blue Devil defensive back Thaylen Harrison in the second quarter to make the score 22-12.

“We definitely made a few boneheaded plays, and that’s stuff we need to work on,” Gordon said. “But we’ve got time to do that because it’s still early.”

Worthley rounded out the first-half scoring late in the second quarter with an 18-yard touchdown run, followed by a Gewanter conversion run to make the score 30-12 at halftime.

After a scoreless third, Gewanter scored for the third time on a 10-yard touchdown run in the fourth to make the score 36-12.

Drury went to the air in the fourth and scored late when Rodriguez hit Harrison with a 1-yard touchdown pass, set up by two long receptions by Bird for 20 and 30 yards on the previous two plays.

Frontier has a bye next week before traveling to Easthampton on Sept. 23.
