To whatever degree the Pembroke Dragons might have had a chance against the Oakfield-Alabama Hornets on Friday night, too many scoring opportunities were snuffed out by turnovers.
Most of the Dragon's possessions ended with a fumble or interception.
"We're always emphasizing creating turnovers," said O-A Head Coach Brian Palone after the Hornet's 33-6 win on their home field. "We work on it a lot. So I was happy to see that we were able to execute."
The Hornets are now 2-1 and Pembroke falls to 0-3.
On offense, the Hornets were pretty much able to have their way.
QB Alan Chatt was 16 for 19 passing and 199 yards. He tossed touchdown completions of 55, 17 and two yards. He also rushed for 85 yards and a TD on eight carries.
Ryan Emery rushed for 33 yards and a TD on eight carries and Jon Harris gained 47 yards on five carries.
Receiver Reice Woodward had a big night with two touchdowns on four receptions for 85 yards.
Defensively, Pat Caprio had six tackles, Harris, five, Jake Valletta and Tyler Hamm, four each, Chatt had two interceptions, Casey Arnold, two sacks, Trent Stack, an interception and Emery had a sack.
Collin Scheiber was one for three on point after attempts. His make was the first of his kicking career.
"I'm very proud of way we finished the game," Palone said. "We talked all week about finishing, especially after last week. We weren't able to finish and we let it get away from us, but tonight they were really focused for four quarters of football. They really finished. I'm proud of the way they executed at the end."
Next up for O-A, Elba/Byron-Bergen, who takes a 2-0 record into today's match up with Notre Dame (0-2).
Pembroke will host Notre Dame next week.

The way Hiram Kasten and Lucine Kauffman see it, Genesee County is a great place to live.
It's beautiful, there's a lot going on, and you'll meet some of the nicest and most interesting people if you just get out on the town a bit.
It's these qualities that they want to highlight in their new weekly, one-hour radio show on WBTA, which debuts Oct. 1.
"Talk of the Town" will feature talk about what's going on and some of the region's interesting people.
It's a cultural show -- arts and entertainment -- but it's more than that.
"There's a national trend toward localism," Kauffman said. "It's not just shopping local. It's living local. We want to capture that idea."
Kasten and Kauffman like interesting people, but they are, of course, interesting people themselves.
Kasten has been a professional entertainer for decades with a long resume in New York and Hollywood that included recurring roles on "Seinfeld" (Hiram and Jerry came up through the New York comedy club circuit together) and "Everybody Loves Raymond."
Diana Kisiel Kasten, Hiram’s wife, is from Batavia and operates Pinnacle Manufacturing on Harvester Avenue. She convinced Hiram to move here a year ago. The couple has a grown daughter who attends Cornell University.
Kauffman is the former town supervisor for Elba and has been active in local theater for years. She grew up in Southern California and graduated from USC. She moved to Genesee County with her Batavia-born-and-bred husband, Bill, 25 years ago. Their daughter attends Notre Dame University. Bill Kauffman is the author of nine books and the screenplay "Copperhead," which had its theatrical release last year.
"We're going to talk about the cultural aspects of Genesee County and the region," Lucine said. "It's more than just arts and entertainment. There are farm co-ops and local artisans and people who enrich life in Genesee County. It's all about quality of life and the quality of life here is very good."
Hiram said he often knows the comedians passing through Rochester and Buffalo, so that will be an opportunity to hear from nationally recognized talent, but they'll also feature the volunteers who make community theater so vital to Batavia.
"There's a lot to celebrate in Genesee County," Lucine said.
"Celebrate. That's a good word," Hiram added. "There is a lot to celebrate here."
The show will air Wednesdays from 9 to 10 a.m. on WBTA-1490.
A tractor-trailer rollover accident with minor injuries is reported at 7524 Selden Road. The driver is out and walking around. The vehicle is loaded with hay. Le Roy fire and Mercy medics are responding.

UPDATE 2:32 p.m.: Selden Road will be shut down.
The Sheriff's Office would like to interview the man in this picture.
During the early afternoon of Sept. 10, this man is believed to have picked up a woman's wallet seconds after she dropped it while exiting the grocery side vestibule at Walmart.
The Walmart greeter saw the man pick up the wallet and the greeter offered to take it to customer service. The man said he was heading to customer service himself.
Investigator William Ferrando said he never made it to customer service. He walked into the restroom and allegedly left the store without turning in the wallet.
He is believed to have left in the maroon crew cab pickup truck depicted in the picture below.
Anybody with information that might assist in the investigation is asked to call Ferrando at (585) 343-5000.
