OSWEGO — The Watertown High School football team made the best of Friday night’s stormy weather.

Senior running back Diamond Williams carried the ball 26 times for 152 yards and scored two touchdowns to power the Cyclones past Oswego 19-6 in a Section 3 Class A National Division game played in heavy rain and wind.

“It was a monsoon out there,” Watertown coach Vince Williams said. “But we tried to do the best we could.”

Senior running back Anton Gadson totaled 79 yards on the ground and scored a touchdown for Watertown (3-0).

With the Buccaneers leading 6-0 on Alex Makin’s 41-yard scoring run in the first quarter, Williams scored on a 17-yard run in the second quarter to put the Cyclones ahead for good at 7-6.

Watertown scored two touchdowns in the final five minutes of regulation to put the game out of reach as Gadson broke free for a 75-yard TD run and Williams scored on a 1-yard run as time expired.

Defensively, junior John Ruiz recorded 12 tackles and Eric Soderquist intercepted a pass for the Cyclones, who held Oswego (0-3, 0-2) scoreless for the final three quarters.
