time I walk into this stadium, I remember the touchdown I scored. You know what I mean? It’s kind of cool.” Marsh’s team will attempt to make some memories starting at noon on Saturday against the defending state champion, No. 2 Clymer/ Sherman/Panama (7-1). The Titans (8-0) got the better of the Wolfpack in Week 3 this year, taking a home game 24-8. Tied 8-8 at halftime, a pair of third-quarter touchdowns made the difference in a game where the Titans outgained the Wolfpack 367196, with a whopping 317 rushing yards. “I think the key in that game was we surprised people with how physical we could play,” Marsh said. “I think the key to this game is continuing to be physical, but also to play mistake-free football. CSP is dangerous.

Titans hope to knock off CSP once again to earn Section 6 title
Jason Marsh is still waiting for his first loss as head coach of Franklinville/ Ellicottville. At this point, he’s hoping it won’t come anytime soon. Marsh’s first year as the F/E’s head coach saw the Titans run through the regular season at 7-0, and a 35-0 semifinal victory over Salamanca sent his team to the Section 6 Class D championship game at New Era Field on Saturday. Marsh never made it to the stadium as a head coach at Salamanca, but he’s coached in a handful of championship games as an assistant, under Rich Morton at SHS, then in recent years under Chad Bartoszek at F/E. And he still has fond memories of playing at then-Rich Stadium, having dressed all four years and starting three of them, in high school for Salamanca.
