SHEFFIELD 33, PORT ALLEGANY 14

SHEFFIELD, Pa. – Kevin Evans and Cale Albaugh helped Sheffield end a 16-game losing streak with a 33-14 win over visiting Port Allegany Saturday afternoon.

Evans ran 24 times for 161 yards and a score and caught six passes for 127 yards and two scores, while Albaugh was 8 of 16 passing for 143 yards, three touchdowns and an interceptions and also ran five times for 34 yards and a score to give the Wolverines (1-6 overall, 1-2 AML North) their first victory since a 22-21 win at Eisenhower Oct. 31, 2014.

It was the first home win for Sheffield since a 36-6 victory over Coudersport Oct. 11, 2014, which was also the Wolverines last conference victory.

Albaugh was in the middle of perhaps the two biggest offensive plays for Sheffield.

With 43 seconds left in the first half, he hit Evans with a 24-yard scoring pass that put the Wolverines up 20-8 at the break. Then, just seven second after Port Allegany’s Devin Gustin scored on a 36-yard run early in the third quarter to get the Gators (0-7, 0-3) back within six, 20-14, Albaugh broke free for a backbreaking 58-yard touchdown run to restore the two-score lead.

Evans also scored on a 25-yard pass from Albaugh in the fourth quarter and on a 25-yard run late in the first quarter, and Albaugh threw a 10-yard scoring pass to Frank Wagner that put the Wolverines up 12-0.

Port Allegany made it 12-8 on an 81-yard Trey Stiles scoring run.

Gustin led Port Allegany with 41 yards rushing and the score on three carries while also catching three passes for 26 yards.

Kaiden Powers also had a big night for Karns City rushing four times for 129 yards and two touchdowns scoring on runs of 64 and 50 yards. Eric Dodd added a 16-yard scoring run for the Gremlins

BROCKWAY 30, ELK COUNTY CATHOLIC 25

ST. MARYS, Pa. – Hunter Miller and Mark Latuska combined to run for 318 yards and four touchdowns to lead Brockway to a hard-fought 30-25 win over Elk County Catholic at St. Marys’ Dutch Country Stadium.

Miller – who was also 9 of 21 passing for 67 yards – ran 12 times for 133 yards and three scores, including an 85-yard run, and Latuska ran 31 times for a season-high 185 yards and a score.

Brockway (7-0, 3-0 AML South) built a 24-6 lead in the third quarter but had to hold off a strong comeback attempt from ECC (5-2, 1-2), which used an onside kick following a defensive touchdown to get back into the game.

After Miller’s 85-yard run looked like it had put the game away for the Rovers, Dan Stauffer returned a fumble 36 yards for ECC to make it 24-12. The Crusaders then recovered the kickoff and scored again quickly on a 36-yard Nate DaCanal to Eric Gerber touchdown pass to get within five, 24-19.

Miller answered with 5-yard run, but DaCanal, who was 10 of 25 for 196 yards, two touchdowns and an interception while also running eight times for 78 yards, hit Brad Dippold with a 60-yard scoring pass to make it 30-25.

The Crusaders had a couple of chances late to score but the final one ended in them turning the ball over on downs with a minute to play.

Jared Braun added a 69-yard touchdown run for ECC and finished the game with 95 yards on nine carries. Dippold had five catches for 102 yards and the score with Gerber adding four grabs for 80 yards and the touchdown. In addition to his fumble return, Stauffer made a team-high 11 tackles with a sack.

CLARION, Pa. – Colton Rapp ran 23 times for 168 yards and three touchdowns, as Clarion held off a strong comeback attempt by Redbank Valley to get a 28-20 win at Clarion University’s Memorial Stadium.

Rapp’s 50-yard scoring run with 1:38 to play all but sealed the win for the Bobcats (6-0), who watched a 21-0 second-quarter lead shrink to 21-20 a minute into the fourth quarter.

Rapp also scored on first-half runs of 30 and 23 yards helping Clarion got up 21-0 on his 23-yard scamper with 6:42 to go in the half.

But Redbank Valley (3-3) scored twice in the final 1:49 of the half on a 2-yard Curtis Mohney run and a 1-yard Clint Thurston run, the latter coming just 20 seconds before halftime to cut the deficit to seven, 21-14, at the break.

The Bulldogs defense then yielded a 10-minute drive to Clarion in the third quarter before turning the Bobcats over on downs.

Redbank then drove the length of the field scoring on a 10-yard fourth-down pass from Keaton Kahle to Brock Barrett 57 seconds into the fourth quarter. Thurston’s extra point was partially blocked, however, leaving the Bulldogs down a point.

Clarion drove again after the Barrett score only to have a Spencer Miller pass intercepted at the Redbank Valley 11-yard line by Colton Mohney. The Bulldogs were able to move to midfield before being forced to punt with around five minutes to play.

Redbank Valley got one more chance after the Rapp touchdown, but Thomas Wurster, who had three sacks and an interception, brought down Kahle behind the line of scrimmage on fourth down around midfield.

Miller was 8 of 15 passing for 135 yards with a 35-yard scoring pass to Ty Burford, who had three catches for 114 yards.

Colten Mohney led Redbank Valley with 11 carries for 148 yards with Thruston adding 11 for 70 and the touchdown. Kahle was just 4 of 15 for 35 yards. He threw the score and an interception, which came on a screen pass with Redbank Valley deep in Clarion territory.
