"We can run," Williamstown coach Frank Fucetola said. "No. 3, Marques Little and No. 24, Chris Inge, are very good football players with very good speed. Our fullback in our Wing-T formation, too. And our quarterback can throw the ball."
Chamberlain, a 5-foot-9, 195-pounder, scored his second touchdown on a 4-yard run with 6 minutes, 39 seconds remaining in the third quarter. Mike Burke kicked his third extra point, and Williamstown (2-0 overall, 2-0 league) had a 24-0 lead.
Chamberlain had 19 carries for 83 yards; Inge, 14 for 99; and Little, 9 for 84.
Lenape (0-2, 0-2), which had trouble running and throwing against Williamstown's defense, scored a surprise touchdown when senior wide receiver Jordan Walker flew down the left side of the field, caught a 40-yard bomb from quarterback Cory Jett, and raced to the end zone on a play that covered 70 yards.
The two-point conversion pass failed with 25.5 seconds remaining in the game.
By intermission, Williamstown had led, 17-0, and Little and Chamberlain had scored.
In the half, Little rushed for 66 yards and a touchdown, Inge bolted for 65 yards on nine carries, and Chamberlain ran for 37 yards and a TD.
Fucetola forgot to mention his senior kicker, Burke, who kicked a 35-yard field goal and both extra points with ease.
The Braves' first score came when Little carried a screen pass from Collins (4 for 7, 123 yards and a TD) 26 yards. Burke's kick made it 7-0.
About five minutes later, Burke kicked the 35-yard field goal with about 15 yards to spare, and Williamstown had a 10-0 lead. The Braves' defense had stymied Lenape's running game with Trevor Terrell and Arkemus Baskerville taking handoffs from Cory Jett.
Chamberlain capped a nine-play drive with a 1-yard dash for the Braves' second TD and a 17-0 lead with 4:53 remaining until halftime.
Lenape recovered a fumble on its own 4-yard line with 35.6 seconds left in the second period to thwart another Braves opportunity. However, the Indians let the clock run down and the score remained 17-0.
Lenape's offensive line had to make an adjustment because one of its leaders, 6-0, 225-pound senior Bob Isopi, was sidelined with a hyperextension of an elbow.
Chad Cunningham, a 5-11, 185-pound junior, stepped up.
"We're progressing, one week at a time, one game at a time," first-year Lenape coach Tim McAneney said.
