Whether he was throwing passes down the field with his arm or using his legs to break through the line on a run, he was essential to moving the ball for the Orioles. But in the final moments of the Western Mass. Class C championship on Friday against Ware, the senior made his biggest play of the night on defense. Down by four, the Indians had the ball in Belchertown territory with less than a minute to go. Quarterback Troy Jurczyk dropped back to pass and threw the ball intended for a receiver crossing the field. Longley read the play as it developed and saw where the ball was going. He used his speed to jump the pass and intercept the ball and bring home Belchertown it’s first championship title since its Super Bowl win in 2003. “It lucked out really,” Longley said. “I don’t play defense all that much so today was a day to prove that I could. We were beyond ready to win.
