GAME STORY

• Youngsville has been in two low-scoring games this season beating Johnsonburg 8-0 without an offense touchdown and losing to Smethport 15-14. The Eagles defense has shown it can be tough, but the Youngsville offense has struggled in the early going.
• After snapping a 27-game losing streak the last week of the season last year, Otto-Eldred has now one 2 of its last 3 games, and head coach Kerry Snow seems to have the Terrors on the right path. Otto was in its game with Ridgway in Week One through the third quarter before the Elkers pulled away in the final 12 minutes. Last week at Sheffield Otto-Eldred dominated a game for the first time in a long time. Now after two road games, the Terrors return home looking to build upon their recent success.
