Each time, the engineer blasted his horn twice.

For those playing and watching the 8-man New York State Public High School Athletic Association Far West Regional, it was hard to ignore, much like it was hard to ignore the figurative “locomotive” who wore No. 3 for Section V’s Pembroke.

Running back Caleb Felski rushed for, unofficially, 445 yards on 36 carries and scored five touchdowns to lead the Dragons to a 50-19 victory over Frewsburg.

The win, Pembroke’s 34th in a row, advances it into the West semifinal at noon this Friday against Frankfort-Schuyler of Section III at Vestal High School in suburban Binghamton.

You have one guess who the Mustangs will undoubtedly feature.

He’s good,” Frewsburg head coach Rob Collver said, “but our kids didn’t do their job. In eight-man, if you don’t do your job, it’s a touchdown (because) you don’t have a safety back there. You don’t have an extra defender and that’s what happens.”

Further compounding the issue was the fact that the 5-foot-10, 190-pound Felski isn’t a one-trick “pony.”

In addition to his monstrous rushing total — he now has gained nearly 3,500 yards on the ground and scored 51 TDs on the season — Felski also threw a touchdown pass to Vijay Dhanda; ran for a pair of two-point conversions; and, defensively, intercepted two passes and recovered a fumble to thwart three golden Frewsburg scoring opportunities.

Caleb Kimmel accounted for the other Pembroke touchdown on a 57-yard run early in the fourth quarter.

Despite suffering several injuries, Frewsburg trailed only 16-12 early in the second quarter, but was unable to contain Felski, allowing the Mustangs to win going away.

For the Bears, Trent Lewis tossed a 60-yard TD strike to Chase Haglund in the first quarter; Lewis, who also rushed for 129 yards on 19 carries, scored on a 2-yard run in the second period; and Henry Eckert caught a 16-yard scoring strike from Drake Beckstrom in the fourth quarter.

“I’m super happy with them,” Collver said. “They played to the best of their ability and did most of the things we wanted to. We moved the ball up and down the field, but we had the (interceptions) and the fumble on the 1-yard. If we turn them into scores, it’s a completely different game.”
