ALDERTON LEADS C-L OVER WEST SHAMOKIN

CLARION TWP. – After missing almost all of Clarion-Limestone’s first two games with a concussion he suffered early in the season opener against Karns City, Lions senior Dan Alderton returned with a bang scoring four touchdowns to help lead C-L to a 48-8 win over West Shamokin in a KSAC match-up Saturday at C-L. The game was originally scheduled for Friday night but was moved to Saturday afternoon.

Alderton scored three rushing touchdowns and one receiving touchdown, all in the first half, to help the Lions to a 34-0 halftime lead.

C-L got the score up to 41-0 before West Shamokin scored a late fourth quarter touchdown.

After playing nearly two-thirds of the first quarter scoreless, C-L got its first score in a heartbeat when Chad Conti returned a Jerry Wilson punt 50 yards for a touchdown with 4:06 left in the opening quarter. The point after was no good, but C-L held an early 6-0 lead.

The Lions tacked on eight more points a couple of minutes later when Alderton scored from a yard out and then Hayden Johnston found Alderton with the two-point pass giving C-L a 14-0 lead with 1:59 left in the first quarter.

C-L started to put the game out of reach in the opening minutes of the second quarter when Alderton took off on a 26-yard scoring jaunt that coupled with Rocky Davis’ extra point gave the Lions a 21-0 lead with 10:48 left in the half.

A little over three minutes later Alderton scored on a 74-yard run that gave the Lions a 28-0 lead with 7:07 left in the first half.
