Pine Bush saved its biggest offensive performance of the season for the right time.

The Bushmen rolled up a season-high 420 rushing yards Saturday and defeated Monroe-Woodbury 42-28, earning their third straight victory and improving to 4-5.

Freshman Jace Robinson was the centerpiece of Pine Bush’s ground attack, rushing 17 times for 270 yards and five touchdowns. Robinson averaged 15.9 yards per carry and broke loose for a game-long 80-yard run.

Senior Ruben Simpson added 134 yards on 16 carries, an average of 8.4 yards per attempt, as the Bushmen repeatedly found success on the ground.

Pine Bush’s 420 rushing yards were its most in a game this season.

The Bushmen also got a touchdown reception from junior Noah Schorling, while senior quarterback Ryan Curtin completed 3 of 7 passes for 40 yards, including a 30-yard touchdown pass. Curtin also contributed 13 rushing yards.

Defensively, senior Michael Morley recorded six tackles and two tackles for loss. Junior Noah Schorling added four tackles, an interception and a pass breakup, while senior Jerome Jones had five tackles, a tackle for loss and a sack.

The victory continued Pine Bush’s late-season surge. The Bushmen have now won three consecutive games after entering the stretch at 1-5.

Pine Bush will face a much tougher challenge Friday when it visits Newburgh Free Academy for a Section 9 Class AA semifinal at 6 p.m. The Goldbacks defeated the Bushmen 48-13 last month.

Monroe-Woodbury fell to 1-8 with the loss and has dropped nine of its last 10 games dating to last season.
