Newfield football falls in season finale to West Babylon
By Bill Landon
Newfield was thirsty for a win on senior recognition day when the team hosted West Babylon, but the Wolverines would go unquenched, falling 21-12 in their season finale Saturday, Nov. 2.
After a four-minute sustained drive by the Eagles that yielded no points, Newfield’s Matthew Evers threw deep to Gavin Smith on a 50-yard pass play that went the distance for the touchdown. Newfield’s two point-conversion failed.
West Babylon scored two unanswered touchdowns before Evers found Smith again, and a 42-yard strike was good enough for the score. With another failed conversion, the Wolverines trailed the Eagles 14-12 at the half.
West Babylon struck again in the third quarter but Newfield was unable to answer as their offense struggled to gain traction the rest of the way.
Newfield concluded their 2024 campaign with a 5-3 record in Division II.
