Once again, the multiple talents that Christian Brothers Academy football quarterback Tyler Hamblin brings to the field helped produce victory. The Brothers now sit at 4-0 after Hamblin, equally a threat through the air and on the ground, led them to a 27-12 victory over Henninger Friday night at Alibrandi Stadium. A lot of ties exist between CBA and Henninger, chief among them the fact that Brothers head coach Joe Casamento was a long-time assistant with the Black Knights, including its 1990 campaign where Henninger finished no. 1 in the state rankings. When the Black Knights came to Alibrandi Friday, it remembered how CBA beat them in last year’s Section III Class AA semifinals and wanted a small amount of payback. Hamblin would not let them have it. Mastering the Brothers’ evolving option offense, Hamblin threw 22 passes, completing 11 of them for 128 yards. He also gained 135 yards on the ground on 19 carries, one of them a one-yard scoring plunge that pushed CBA ahead 7-0 in the first quarter. Henninger got on the board in the second period, Eric Dykes finding Darryl Mercer on a 30-yard touchdown pass, but Hamblin countered with his own 30-yard scoring strike, to Greg Thomson, that made it 13-7 going into halftime. Neither side scored in the third period, adding to the tension, but the Brothers, as it had done in previous home wins over Cicero-North Syracuse and Liverpool, would finish strong. Hambling’s second rushing TD, from two yards out, made it 20-7. Minutes later, from the Black Knights’ 11-yard line, Hamblin handed it to Cameron MacPherson – who alertly threw to a wide-open Thomson in the end zone. CBA gets one more chance to entertain the home fans at Alibrandi next Friday when it hosts Central Square at 6:30 in advance of back-to-back road games at Rome Free Academy and Baldwinsville that will decide the Class AA-1 division regular-season title.
