SOUTH DEERFIELD — Playing at home after spending the first two weeks of the season on the road, the Frontier football team showcased how potent its offense can be in a 38-16 win over Greenfield on Friday night.

The Redhawks (2-1) pounded the ball out of their triple-option offense, led by quarterback Aiden Dredge’s 156 yards and four touchdowns on 13 carries, including a 59-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. As a team, Frontier gained 312 yards on the ground, and all of its touchdowns. The Redhawks also managed to convert an onside kick in the game, and force a key fumble on the second-half kickoff that helped keep the Green Wave at bay.

“I’m super pumped. They’re our rivals and ever since I was a freshman, I’ve lost to them,” Dredge said. “So finally, senior year, I get to win with my team. We’ve been working for this moment all week.”

Aiden Dredge got Frontier on the board on its opening possession with a 10-yard run, capping a 47-yard drive, but back-to-back interceptions — Greenfield’s Caleb Murray first, Dredge second — helped keep the score at 6-0 after a quarter.

Ian Burt (7 carries, 68 yards) put Frontier up 12-0 to start the second quarter on a 21-yard scamper, but Greenfield responded through Angel Politis.

Inserted at tailback behind another sub, Keagan Fisher at quarterback, Politis took six of seven Greenfield carries to march his team from its 27 to the Frontier 18, then after a Fisher fumble, Politis (7 carries, 62 yards) scooped the loose ball up and went 18 yards for the score. After the two-point try, it was 12-8.

The Redhawks responded on the ensuing possession, with Dredge scoring on the aforementioned 59-yard dash. Another failed conversion, though, left the game at just 18-8 going into halftime, and gave Greenfield a chance at momentum with the ball to start the second half.

Instead of a possession, though, Greenfield fumbled the ball and Burt recovered the loose pigskin. Five plays later, Dredge scored on a 23-yard run.

“We shot ourselves in the foot,” Greenfield coach Mike Kuchieski said of the loss. “Aiden Dredge is a good football player, we couldn’t tackle him. Give a lot of credit to that kid, but we had effort there. … We got better than last week, that’s a plus.”

Greenfield (1-2) showed that improvement with a bounce-back touchdown drive. With Fisher knocked out of the game at halftime through injury, Murray (6-for-11, 75 yards) came back in and orchestrated a 65-yard drive via air and ground, finished with a 15-yard touchdown pass to Erik Martineau to make it 24-16.

The Redhawk offense, though, wasn’t finished scoring. Dredge scurried in from four yards out to make it 32-16, then after a Greenfield turnover, Bray Arsenault (8 carries, 25 yards) finished the scoring with a two-yard run.

“[The option] is the core of our team. Aiden does a great job each week,” Frontier coach Scott Dredge said. “He gets better, focuses in. What he’s really doing well this year is his fakes, and he’s making good decisions.”

And while Greenfield had to deal with the Frontier offense, it also had to battle attrition. Multiple players were in and out of the lineup for Kuchieski, including Politis, Fisher, and Martineau.

“It’s going to be, who’s ready to practice Monday?” Kuchieski said. “Unfortunately, the numbers that we have, we have a lot of guys playing both sides of the ball. Hopefully some other kids now are going to have to step up and get ready to play.”

The conclusion of the game also marked the end of the non-league schedule for both teams. Greenfield has a stiff test against Ware coming up next week, while Frontier will take on Commerce. For both teams, it’s a chance to start league play on a strong foot. For Aiden Dredge, he said he hopes it’s also the start of something a bit bigger, too.

“A league championships, we want that,” Aiden Dredge said. “We’ve been saying it since June. That’s been our mentality. We’ve gone bone-dry the last couple of years, and with this new league, it’s definitely a main goal of ours.”
