Written by on May 28, 2023

ALBANY — Defense always travels well and that was the case for the Watertown Red and Black in its debut within new league competition.

Watertown intercepted two passes, including one returned for a touchdown, recorded three sacks and recovered a fumble to defeat the Troy Fighting Irish, 16-8, in Saturday night’s Gridiron Developmental Football League opener at Watervliet High School.

Cory Smith’s 20-yard interception return for a score and kicker Eric Beyler’s extra point provided the game’s only scoring in the first half.
