Football Roundup: Pinkerton holds off Alvirne to end with win (video)

HUDSON – James Caruso ran for 99 yards and a touchdown to help lead the Pinkerton Academy football team to a 30-17 win Friday night over Alvirne.

Jamie Isaac (48 yards rushing) and Joseph Osanya (32) also had rushing touchdowns for the Astros (6-2 in Division I, 7-2 overall) while Ryson Michaud returned the opening kickoff of the second half 98 yards for a touchdown.

Caruso, who usually plays tight end, stepped in at running back for Pinkerton after injuries to Isaac and Ben Quintiliani left the team short on ball carriers. The Astros are also still without running back Matt Morrison.

Pinkerton also recorded two safeties when the Broncos snapped the ball out of the end zone on a punt in the second and fourth quarters.

Alvirne (6-3) got a big passing day from quarterback Charlie Crawford, as he was 22 of 40 for 344 yards and two touchdowns. Both scores went to Ryan Rocheleau, who had eight catches for 146 yards, while Garrett Hall added five receptions for 152 yards.

The Astros were able to hold Broncos’ running back Mike Landmesser to 28 yards on 16 carries.
