SCHUYLERVILLE — Jake Gregory said it would be a different game if he was there Saturday night.
The Glens Falls Greenjackets nose guard did not disappoint, spearheading a defensive shutout against a team that had pounded the Jackets twice in the Empire Football League regular season.
Quentin Austin rushed for 128 yards and three touchdowns as the Greenjackets got their revenge in a 20-2 EFL semifinal victory over the Broome County Stallions at Schuylerville High School.
The Jackets (7-4) advance to Saturday’s championship game, which will be against the first-place Watertown Red & Black in a rematch of last year’s final. Watertown won the other semifinal, 61-6 over Auburn.
“The first two games I was out because of military duties, but they couldn’t run inside with me in the middle,” said Gregory, the former Whitehall standout. “We played our game.”
