Closest D3 title game in history. Central (Iowa) beat Ithaca by two points in 1974.

AND the qb on that Ithaca team?? JERRY BOYES -- Zac's Dad!!

Wow, what a nugget. And then how does his son end up on the other side of the Cortaca Jug rivalry?!

Does NCC not have a great fg kicker? Felt like the first trip in the redzone especially but also the second were spots for some points.

Incredible game. So much talent on the field, tough way for it to end for NCC. It was a blast watching this NCC team play all season. Didn't expect this ending, and agree that missing two AA guys on D was a factor. But so was the mojo of Zac Boyes. He balled out.

So back in 1993, legendary Ithaca HC Jim Butterfield announces his retirement.  Jerry Boyes had turned Buffalo St. into a great program and put in for the Ithaca job.  Mike Welch was the DC at Ithaca in 1993 and also an IC grad and also put in for it. Well Mike Welch got the job and the rumor is Jerry Boyes was not happy about it.  He stayed in the Buffalo area and raised a family there.  His son goes to Cortland and here we are.

More of the history ..... Jerry Boyes after his assistant's role at IC wanted to spread his wings, and in the '80s looked for head coaching position. One was open at Cortland -- resurrecting its program at the time. Job went to Denny Kayser. Runnerup for the post? One Jerry Boyes! Kayser found quick success while Boyes was hired at Buffalo St where he, too, found success. And as we've heard did indeed look at the IC job when 'Butts' retired. Jerry had two successful stints at Buff St. and was also AD. As a Cortlander, we always had great respect for Jerry who after playing days got a look as a D-back with the Cleveland Browns.
    Zac's performance was typical of the entire season.
     Also has a sister who's a Cortland grad, and a close Zac friend is decorated center Ryan Bitka whose father Terry played at Cortland and was longtime assistant coach at Buff St.

ZAC BOYES ......enough said!!!!

Just took a look at D3 All-American teams.  Ouch .....Z. Boyes ONLY third team. From someone who's seen his season-long play, an unjust placement.
   WR Cole Burgess second team ......RB J. Alfanostjohn fourth team. Right on.

Another Cortland gem! But the thing differentiating this one was the RDragon defense. As stout a defending show as we've seen from the Corts. Coach in postgame comments noted 'D' unhappy with last week's performance. Certainly changed that today. Had not seen that many blitzes this season, especially in a 35-0 first half.  Appeared YJackets had not either in film looks at Cortland. Pressure on the qb certainly helped the secondary. At the half RM had five yards rushing, 38 passing! Meanwhile, Dragon OL outstanding. Boyes & Co. as usual.

     North Central 26, Wartburg 13 at intermission. Wburg td in closing seconds, pat kick fails. But Wburg continues comeback in second half and takes 27-26 lead. Central steps up to grab final 34-27 edge and withstands Wburg dramatic push at the end.

Cortland grabs fourth win in a row with Saturday 81-63 toppling of guest Potsdam in conference scrap. RDragons put 11 in scoring column, shooting 30x63fg led by K.

Haggar trey overhauls Pdam final 19-18 lead. Corts in 40-32 haltime control and gradually pull away in second stanza. P. Kelly 18pts, 8x15fg, 8reb in 27' pace Bears whose I. Oduro jr. nets 17 pts, J. Williams 10.
   Cortland 4-2, 2-0; Pdam 1-6, 0-2

Zac Boyes and his OL .......MVPs .....58-41. As close to perfection (offense) as they come!

Randolph-Macon on deck

One would think Cortland would be prepared for Alma tempo .......sheesh. Look a tad confused defensively. A tad? How bout a  bunch. Could go down to whom has the ball last. We're 34-all at the break.

   Already 729 yards!!

As Lou Grant would say, Cortland shows spunk! Battling from 17 point deficit, RDragons outscore Plattsburgh 41-20 over final 17 minutes to register 78-74 conference home win. Third straight CSt 'W' has A. Coston (22pts, 10x14fg, 7reb, 36') bucket providing 64-62 lead at 4:49. Extends to 68-62 on K. Arcuri tipin at 3:20.
   Cardinals within 69-68 at 1:49 on D. Trembley FTs. Coston hoop and J. Warmack, Arcuri FTs finish it. Warmack 22pts, 8x12fg, 7reb, 4assts in 36'. Notches nine Dragon marks in 11-0 liftoff. Burgh even at 19 and holds 44-35 halftime lead by shooting 16x30fg 7x12 3s in opening 20'. Second half comedown -- 11x33fg, 2x12 3s.
   W. Anderson 22pts, 9x17fg, 4x7 3s, 5reb; Trembley 17pts, 8reb; K. Tabb 11pts, 4 of Cards 11stls. Corts 29x53fg, 34-29reb edge. G. Beaubrun, D. Linehan with big late triples.
    Cortland 3-2, 1-0 and Saturday Potsdam hosts; Pburgh 2-4, 0-1 and Saturday at Oswego
