The Alexander football team should probably ask for lights.
The Trojans won their first game of the season as they played under lights on a Friday night at home for the first time in over 20 years.
Alexander Central School rented lights for the game. The Trojans usually play their home games on Saturday afternoons.
Lucas Czechowski booted a 30-yard field goal with eight minutes left to give Alexander a 9-8 victory over Holley in a Genesee Region League contest.
"These juniors have been waiting," said Dave Radley, who won his first game as a head coach. "They work hard and every day is a challenge. They had three tough opponents to start and tonight we battled an evenly matched team. The good thing is that we seemed to be in better condition in the second half. Our defense stepped up and stopped them."
The defense held the Hawks on a fourth-and-2 before the drive that set up Czechowski's field goal and Jordan Leitten sealed the victory with an interception with 20 seconds left.
Ryan Piechowki had 16 solo tackles to go with his 48 yards rushing and Jay Schaefer gained 127 yards rushing.
Alexander is now 1-3 while Holley dips to 0-4.
