ST. MARYS 10, ELK COUNTY CATHOLIC 6

ST. MARYS – Doug Surra scored a touchdown, and Tristan Mulcahy added a field goal to lead St. Marys to a 10-6 win over inter-city rival Elk County Catholic Friday night at Dutch Country Stadium.

Surra scored on a 45-yard run with 3:52 left in the first quarter to give St. Marys a 7-0 lead.

Mulcahy then gave St. Marys a 10-0 halftime lead with a 29-yard field goal with 29 seconds left in the half.

ECC got on the board on a 27-yard scoring run by Shane Funair in the third quarter.

The St. Marys defense came up with two big goal-line stands in the first half.

The first one came after ECC had a first-and-goal from the 4-yard run, but on fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line Funair was stopped cold.

The second time, the Dutch came up with a big sack of ECC’s quarterback Bobby Pearsall on third down forcing a fourth-and-long. The Crusaders pass was then incomplete.

CURWENSVILLE 15, HOMER-CENTER 14

CURWENSVILLE – Cory Bailor’s 23-yard field goal with 29 seconds left in the game lifted Curwensville (7-3) to a season-ending 15-14 win over Homer-Center Friday night at Curwensville.

Bailor’s field goal meant the Golden Tide finished the season the same way they had started it with a Bailor game-winning field goal. In Week One his field goal in the final minute lifted Curwensville to a 10-9 win over Eisenhower.

This game was also a low-scoring affair with all but on of the game’s scores occurring in the second half.

Homer-Center (6-4) took an 8-0 halftime lead on a 69-yard run by Ryan Buchner and a two-point run by Derek DeCarlo with 1:51 left in the half.

Doug Swatsworth got Curwensville on the board with 7:26 left in the third quarter with a 54-yard run. The two-point conversion run failed leaving the Wildcats up 8-6.

But late in the third quarter, the Golden Tide went ahead on a 2-yard run by Brooks Collins with 2:40 left. The two-point conversion attempt once again failed, but Curwensville led 12-8.

But a 1:30 later, Nick Jones scored on a 51-yard run to give Homer-Center a 14-12 lead with 1:03 left in the quarter. The key extra point, however, was no good.

Collins paced Curwensville running 30 times for 138 yards and a score, while Swatsworth ran nine times for 90 yards and a score.

WEST SHAMOKIN 19, PENNS MANOR 13

NuMINE – Steven Cupec scored on a 1-yard run with 26 seconds left in the game to lead West Shamokin to a season-ending 19-13 win over Penns Manor Friday night at West Shamokin.

The big play of the drive came when backup quarterback Craig Kaplon got six yards on a third-and-2 play from the 7-yard line.

Cupec finished the night with 124 yards and two touchdowns, and Kaplon also scored for the Wolves.

Kaplon had given West Shamokin a 6-0 halftime lead on a 3-yard run, but Penns Manor came back to make it 7-6 in the third quarter before West Shamokin went back ahead late in the quarter on a 2-yard run by Cupec.

The Comets answered back to go ahead 13-12 in the fourth quarter before West Shamokin got the late touchdown.

West Shamokin played without starting quarterback Trevor Henderson for the second straight week. Kaplon, who didn’t play last week, returned to go 3-for-9 passing for 61 yards.
