BROOKVILLE 60, CLARION-LIMESTONE 52

STRATTANVILLE, Pa. – In a game that featured 1,149 total yards and 112 total points, visiting Brookville rallied from multiple double-digit deficits to knock off Clarion-Limestone, 60-52.

Interestingly enough, the difference in a game dominated by the offense was a 15-yard Martin Decker interception return of a Brendan Makray screen pass with 2:01 to play that put the Raiders (5-1) ahead 60-46.

Brookville, which had trailed by scores of 12-0, 24-14 and 40-29, had gone ahead for the third time in the contest 37 seconds earlier on a 40-yard Jack Krug to Bryan Dworek touchdown pass, the fourth time the duo connected for six points on the night.

The Raiders defense, though, which gave up 621 yards, allowed C-L to answer right back on a 14-yard Makray to Riley Hummell touchdown pass with 1:44 to play. But Brookville recovered the onside kick and put the game away on a long run by Krug.

Krug finished the night 13 of 23 passing for 288 yards and five touchdowns with an interception and also ran 11 times for 153 yards and a score.

His 94-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter was possibly the turning point in the game.

With C-L (3-3), losers of three straight, up 40-37, the Lions drove inside the Brookville 10-yard line before turning the ball over on downs.

Krug answered with his long touchdown run that gave Brookville its first lead since 14-12 in the first quarter with 8:45 to play.

C-L answered right back with a 1-yard Makray to Colby Himes scoring pass, but Krug hit Dworek, who had seven catches for 244 yards, with the go-ahead score late. Dworek missed the school record for receiving yards by five yards.

Hummell had a monster day for C-L rushing 28 times for 212 yards and catching seven passes for 111 yards and three scores. Makray was 19 of 28 for 309 yards, six touchdowns and an interception – he also picked off a pass on defense – with Ayden Wiles adding 19 carries for 112 yards and two touchdowns and three catches for 19 yards. Kyle Kerle caught five passes for 134 yards and two touchdowns while Himes adding four catches for 45 and the score.

Ian Thrush also hauled down a touchdown catch for Brookville and had two grabs for 25 yards with Brandon McGranor running 14 times for 87 yards and a touchdown.

C-L outgained Brookville 621 to 528 but turned the ball over twice to Brookville’ one time. The Lions rushed for 312 yards and threw for 309 and had 29 first downs. Brookville threw for 288 and rushed for 240 and had 15 first downs.

CLARION 41, MONITEAU 7

CLARION, Pa. – Despite losing star running back Colton Rapp to a first-quarter injury and falling behind early, Clarion stayed unbeaten with a 41-7 win over visiting Moniteau.

Rapp went down in the first quarter clutching his shoulder and didn’t return after rushing twice for 12 yards, but the Bobcats (5-0 overall, 3-0 KSAC Large School Division) still ran for 373 yards five touchdowns with five different runners scoring.

Logan and Sam Minich, twins from North Clarion as part of the co-op, were a huge reason why. Logan ran for 119 yards and a score on 13 carries, while Sam added 86 yards and a touchdown on seven totes.

Spencer Miller added a 3-yard scoring run and ran three times for 49 yards while also throwing a 30-yard screen pass touchdown to Camden Boggess that tied the game at seven after Chance Nagy’s early 2-yard run gave Moniteau a 7-0 lead. Miller was 4 of 12 passing for 71 yards, the touchdown and two interceptions.

Also scoring on the ground for Clarion were Keeven Weaver (3 carries, 57 yards) and Brendan Zerfoss (2 carries, 27 yards). Boggess added four carries for 13 yards and the one catch for 30 and the score. Sam Minich had one catch for five yards and Weaver two for 36.

Manny McLean led Moniteau (2-3, 1-2) with 12 carries for 65 yards with most of that coming on the game’s opening drive. Nagy was 6 of 12 passing for 51 yards and was picked off once. Hunter Fitzingo went 2 of 8 with two interceptions. Nick Martino had four catches for 37 yards.

Weaver, Sam Minich and Jacob Selker had interceptions for Clarion.

REDBANK VALLEY 55, UNION/A-C VALLEY 13

RIMERSBURG, Pa. – Clint Thurston and Brock Barrett each ran for over 150 yards and Keaton Kahle returned a kickoff 88 yards for a touchdown as Redbank Valley pulled away for a 55-13 rout of Union/A-C Valley Friday night.

The victory clinched the KSAC Small School Division title for the Bulldogs (3-2, 3-0)

The Elkers (5-1, 1-1 AML South) rebounded nicely from last week’s loss at Brockway thanks to the play of Mitchell who ran for a 4-yard touchdown and threw touchdown passes of 23 yards to Neil MacDonald and 14 yards to Andy Breier.

Punxsutawney led 9-0 at halftime thanks to a 1-yard Stone Smith run and a safety in the first quarter before St. Marys (0-5, 0-3) answered back on a 1-yard Carter Julian touchdown run.

CURWENSVILLE, Pa. – Dakota Bloom’s fumble recovery of teammate Noah VonGunden’s miscue in the end zone with 10:37 to play lifted Curwensville to a 15-13 win over visiting Brockway.

VonGunden appeared headed to the goal line after catching a pass in the flat from Bryce Timko, but the ball was jarred loose around the one and rolled into the end zone where Bloom smartly scooped it up. The Tide then went for two and got it to take the lead.

Brockway jumped out to a 13-0 lead after one quarter thanks to a 1-yard Peter Downer run and a 5-yard scamper by Tyler Serafini, but Curwensville cut the lead to 13-7 at halftime thanks to a 62-yard Nick Stewart scoring run.

Serafini paced Brockway with 11 carries for 51 yards.

ALLDERDICE 28, DUBOIS 27, OVERTIME

PITTSBURGH – DuBois rallied from a 21-0 deficit only to lose on a blocked extra point in overtime to Allderdice, 28-27, at Cupples Stadium in Pittsburgh.

The Dragos built the 21-0 lead late in the first half on touchdown runs of 7 and 51 yards from Zai Humber and a 5-yard scamper by Tyrell Minniefield before DuBois got a 64-yard Matt Miller to Kyle Hopson touchdown pass before the break to make it 21-7.

A blocked punt in the third quarter by the Beavers then led to a 2-yard Dalton Kruzelak touchdown run to get DuBois within a touchdown at 21-14, and a 4-yard Miller to Chase Husted scoring pass early in the fourth quarter tied the game at 21.

DuBois got in position for a 44-yard field goal try by Dylan McCluskey with 19 seconds to play, but the kick was missed and the game went to overtime.

The Beavers won the toss and elected to play defense, but Allderdice scored on a 2-yard run by Humber, who ran 21 times for 157 yards. Brandon Mauder kicked the extra point, his fourth of the game, to put the Dragons up 28-21.

BELLEFONTE 55, CLEARFIELD 28

BELLEFONTE, Pa. – Dylan Deitrich ran for 203 yards and six touchdowns and added a touchdown pass, as Bellefonte beat visiting Clearfield, 55-28.
