By Todd HummelThe Daily Item

LEWISBURG — Believe it or not, Lewisburg took some positives out of last week’s 49-24 loss to South-ern Columbia last Thursday night.

One, Lewisburg’s passing game held up against a fierce Tigers pass rush, and two, the extra day off allowed the Green Dragons a few days of rest and a chance to regroup after two straight losses fol-lowing a 5-1 start.

“We got a chance to rest all of our nagging injuries,” Lewisburg coach Michael Ferriero said. “The kids seemed upbeat with ev-erything. We knew what it would take to beat Southern and we didn’t do it.

“We have to build on those positives.”

The building on those pos-itives begins at home on Fri-day night with a Heartland Athletic Conference Divi-sion II contest with Warrior Run.

Some of those pluses were senior quarterback Trent Gower, who threw for 290 yards and two scores and — perhaps more importantly — just one interception after throwing six in the previ-ous two games. Gower leads the area in passing yard-age (1,530) and touchdown passes (22).

“Southern Columbia con-tinually sent six guys and we went empty a number of times, leaving us only five

to block. Our offensive line did what we wanted against that and Trent did a great job staying in the pocket and finding his receivers,” Ferri-ero said.

Freshman Dylan Far-ronato also had his best game so far, with four catches for 149 yards and two scores.

“Dylan’s played well all year, but he seemed to take another step forward,” Fer-riero said. “That just gives us another weapon in the pass-ing game.”

The Green Dragons (5-3 overall, 1-3 HAC-II) already possessed one of the top re-ceiving corps in the area. Matt Fedorjaka leads the area with 37 catches, while

Noah Inch averages a team-high 19.2 yards per grab and an area-high 10 touchdown catches.

It will be a tough match for the Defenders (3-5, 1-2), who are coming off back-to-back losses to Southern Columbia

and Mount Carmel — both squads overpowered War-rior Run on the ground.

“We’re going from two very physical teams to a very finesse team,” Warrior Run coach Mark Burrows said. “They are very similar to North Penn (a 41-28 Warrior Run win), but with better athletes and a more consis-tent quarterback.”

If the Defenders have any shot at grabbing a district berth, they’ll need wins over the Green Dragons and their final opponent, Danville.

To do that, they will have to bounce back from last week’s loss to Mount Carmel. Despite a 41-13 final, the De-fenders feel they let one slip away last week. Warrior Run had three scores called back because of penalties.

They were also driving trailing 21-7 early in the third quarter when Mount Carmel stopped a fourth down with Warrior Run three yards from pay dirt. Kyle Karycki then ran 95 yards for touch-down a few plays later.

COAL TOWNSHIP — After getting its first wins of the season in the last two weeks, Mifflinburg would like to make it three in a row this week and have a chance to finish the season on a positive note.

Standing in the way of that three-game winning streak is a desperate Shamokin squad, playing on its home turf on senior night at Kemp Memorial Stadium.

Shamokin enters Friday night’s game — the final Heartland Athletic Confer-ence Division I contest of the season for both teams — needing to win to have a chance at a second con-secutive berth in the District Class AAA playoffs.

No. 5 Shamokin (2-6, 1-4 HAC-I) must win at least this game and possibly next week’s contest at Mount Carmel to have a shot at getting past the current No 4 team, Columbia-Montour Vo-Tech.

Mifflinburg, also 2-6, 1-4, is hoping to make it three in a row before finishing at home against rival Lewis-burg.

“We told the kids on Sat-urday we have a two-game season. We have to put the first eight (games) behind us. If we can get a two-game winning streak and play well, we could end on a high note,” Shamokin coach Pat DiRienzo said.

“Hopefully we come out and play well (tonight), then next week at Mount Carmel we win two in a row. Then it depends on what Columbia-Montour Vo-Tech does. But we have to take care of busi-ness or that doesn’t matter,” he said.

“They have some speedy receivers, some track guys, so our concern is going to be stopping (senior wideouts) Brian Zimmerman and Tristan Martin,” DiRienzo said of the Wildcats. “Their speed concerns me on the outside. We have to stop that

first because they’re putting points on the board.”

Zimmerman has 28 catches for 317 yards and two touchdowns while Martin has 22 catches for 413 yards and a pair of TDs. The lead-ing rusher is junior Brayden Pierce, with 665 yards and nine scores.

DiRienzo added, “We haven’t stopped anybody the last two weeks.”

Meanwhile, he said the Indians will focus on getting the running game going this week.

“I think we have to run the

ball on them. We will focus on the run game and some short passes and use (quar-terback) Nate (Shurock) as a runner,” DiRienzo said.

“We want to get them pumped up for their last home game. It’s senior night so we have a lot to play for Friday,” DiRienzo added.

DiRienzo has moved se-nior fullback and former offensive lineman Garrett Zalar to left guard against the Wildcats. He will replace the 6-foot-1, 240-pound Zalar at fullback with 6-0, 203-pound freshman Matt Knowles.

Mifflinburg coach Jason Dressler said the Indians have the ability to do some good things offensively and they are not afraid to mix things up.

“It’s a case of what are you going to get,” Dressler said.

Dressler said the two wins have been a confidence boost and helped to allevi-ate the frustration of the bad start to the season. “They’re excited and positive and looking forward to a good week,” he said.

Dressler attributed the re-cent turnaround to the lack of turnovers after ball secu-rity had become one of the biggest problems through the first eight games.

“One thing we need to do is continue that trend and minimize the mistakes,” he said. “It’s got to be about ex-ecution.”

By Todd HummelThe Daily Item

MILTON — As you work your way down the rosters of the Heartland Athletic Conference Division I foot-ball teams, there is certainly one thing that stands out.

The plethora of outstand-ing running backs that dot the rosters.

Friday night at Alumni Field, two of the best square off as Brandon Stokes and the Milton Black Panthers host Juvon Batts and the Se-linsgrove Seals.

Stokes, who went over the 1,000-yard mark against Mif-flinburg last week, will be the focus of a Seals defense that has seen Montoursville’s Keith Batkowski and Jersey Shore’s Levi Lorson over the past two weeks.

“He’s somebody we are focusing on, he’s put up some big numbers so far this year,” Selinsgrove coach Derek Hicks said. “He’s going to be our focus this week.”

“Brandon has worked his tail off this season and he

deserves his 1,000-yard sea-son,” Milton coach George Goodwin said.

Batts, who rushed for 122 yards in the Seals’ HAC-I clinching 42-10 victory over Jersey Shore has 998 yards on the year.

The Seals (8-0 overall, 5-0 HAC-I) did most of their damage through the air against the Bulldogs, as sophomore quarterback Logan Leiby threw for 307 yards and three scores against Jersey Shore. Senior wide out Nick Swineford had seven catches for 165 yards in the victory, while Batts had two TD grabs.

“We are hoping to play some big games down the road and getting the passing game going in a big game never hurts,” Hicks said.

Hicks and his squad now have to eliminate slow starts — they fell behind 10-0 to Jersey Shore — and get their penalties under control. The Seals have been penalized 59 times this season.

“We have to come out of the locker room and be ready to start from the opening

kickoff and not wait a quar-ter,” Hicks said. “We have to cut out the unnecessary penalties that don’t have a bearing on the play.”

Milton (1-7, 0-4) has taken its lumps this season, but the Black Panthers could possibly sneak in the dis-trict playoffs. To do so, they would have to pull off a mo-mentum upset this week and then down a suddenly-hot Shikellamy Braves squad in week 10.

“The seniors know they have two games left,” Good-win said. “We’re not going to quit, it’s been a rough year, but we just have to keep battling.”

Realistically, Goodwin and the Black Panthers know that Friday night will be a chance to get some of the younger players some experience against the Seals.

“We can use it as a spring board for next year,” Good-win said. “We get some the younger kids some reps on varsity.”

Milton halfback Raff Ro-driguez is a good example of this philosophy. The senior ripped off the longest run of the 2014 season against the Seals in the second half — a 95-yarder for a score. Ro-driguez has 534 yards and six touchdowns this season.

By Todd HummelThe Daily Item

DANVILLE — At the midway point of the 2015 football season, not many people would have thought of Friday’s Heartland Ath-letic Conference interdi-visional matchup between Shikellamy and Danville as a must-see event.

The Braves won just one of their first five games, while the Ironmen were 2-3 and coming off three straight losses to Loyal-sock, Southern Columbia and Mount Carmel.

However, three weeks later, each team has won their last three contests and are making playoff pushes as we enter the final two weeks of the season.

The Braves (4-4) pulled off one the biggest surprises of the season last week, downing previously unde-feated Loyalsock, 16-14.

“I’m proud of the way our kids kept coming to practice with a determined attitude even with the 1-4 start,” Braves coach Todd Tilford said. “I was happy to see it pay off with an ex-citing win for the seniors on senior night.”

Senior Shawn Turber was outstanding in the game, as he had a rushing and pass-ing touchdown along with three interceptions on de-fense.

“The biggest factor this week is not so much X’s and O’s, but the mental aspect,” Tilford said. “We have to get the kids mentally re-grouped, following an emo-tional win over an unde-feated team. They have to be ready to play a Danville team that’s hot and playing for its playoff lives on senior night.”

Senior quarterback Christian Schlegel has also played a big role in the Braves’ resurgence. Schle-gel completed 72 percent of

his passes for 225 yards and a score against the Lancers.

“Our biggest improve-ment has been in the offen-sive line’s pass protection,” Tilford said. “They’ve given Christian some clean pock-ets to read and throw. And a healthy Turber.”

Turber has scored six touchdowns, thrown for an-other, and has five intercep-tions in Shikellamy’s three-game winning streak.

For Danville (5-3), the strength of Class AA has left them fighting for their playoff lives since the loss to Mount Carmel. And the young Ironmen have re-sponded.

“We’ve been calling in the playoffs for two weeks now. We put ourselves in the position early in the season that we have to consider the entire second half of games a playoff,” Danville coach Jim Keiser said. “We are so young, I don’t think they re-alize (the pressure). We’ve been so resilient.”

The Ironmen are going to have to be once again this week against the Braves. They will be without sopho-

more halfback Ryan Palm and possibly freshman line-backer Eric Sees. An al-ready small roster will just dress 25 players on Friday night.

The biggest concern for Keiser is the Braves’ team speed and their aggressive-

ness. With Tilford’s fond-ness for trick plays (Turber has thrown two TDs on halfback option passes this year and the Braves did it four different times last season), Keiser’s team will need to be prepared for anything.

MOUNT CARMEL — First-year coach John Dar-rah pointed to a simple change in the practice ritual at Mount Carmel as the main reason why the Red Tornadoes were so convinc-ing in breaking their two-game losing streak on the road against Warrior Run.

After being embarrassed by Southern Columbia and North Schuylkill and show-ing very little mettle on both offense and defense, the Red Tornadoes went back to what helped them carve a three-game winning streak and get back into the District 4 Class AA playoff picture.

“We went back to more live hitting at practice and for some reason we got away from that prior to this past week,” Darrah said. “That’s the recipe we returned to and it seemed to rejuvenate our football team and you can’t argue with the end re-sult.”

The end result was a Red Tornadoes unit that pun-ished the Defenders not only on the scoreboard, but on the field of play as MCA racked up 402 yards on the ground with senior tailback Kyle Kaycki accounting for 249 on 16 carries while scor-ing four touchdowns; Zach Zarkowski has chipped in with 70 on just eight car-ries. Freshman quarterback John Ayres completed five of eight passes for 114 yards and Lane Tanney had two catches for 60.

“I thought we played more physical last week and aggressively went after people,” Darrah said. “In addition, lots of people got to touch the football in the game and that will go a long way in helping us in the fu-ture.”

The Blue Jays (1-7) are coming off a 30-17 loss to

Danville. However, the contest was a toss-up until the third quarter, when the Ironmen outscored their hosts 20-3 to take control of the momentum and the scoreboard. Garrett Barilar got Central on the score-board in the period with a 26-yard field goal. In the fi-nal stanza, Isaac Gensemer scored on a 37-yard run and Ky Seesholtz added a 19-yard scoring jaunt. Quar-terback Aaron Farver was 8-for-15 for 129 yards, but threw a pair of interceptions in the loss.

“We’ve watched Central Columbia on film and they

are a decent football tam,” Darrah said. “They are disciplined on defense and if you look at the past few games, they were involved in close matchups and were not intimidated nor did they back down. You can see they are getting better each week and that means we must also play better if we want to continue our win-ning ways and think beyond the regular season.

“Offensively, they like to throw the ball and we can expect to see a lot of one-back sets; we can also expect to see a variety of screen passes. Defensively,

primarily they employ a 4-4 and they don’t run up the field. They are disciplined in what they try to do.”

Darrah is hoping that the Red Tornadoes can build upon the momentum gained from last week’s much-needed victory and continue to be aggressive to a point.

“On defense, we must execute our assignments and play solid pass defense against a team that likes to throw the football,” Darrah said. “Our tackling must continue to get better and most of all we’ve got to cut down on unnecessary penal-ties that hurt our ... drives.”

MILL HALL — An op-ponent with a 2-6 record might not normally get the attention of the Southern Columbia players.

Especially since the Ti-gers — 8-0 and ranked No. 5 in the state in Class AA — are sandwiching Friday night’s nonleague game with Central Mountain be-tween a Thursday night win over Lewisburg and a visit to unbeaten Selinsgrove next week.

Nevertheless, Southern coach Jim Roth said the Wildcats, a Class AAAA team poised to join the Heartland Athletic Confer-ence Division I next year, have the offense and tal-ented skill players to pres-ent a challenge.

Roth said, “They’ve moved the ball and scored quite a few points. They’re running two different schemes and they’re executing both of them pretty well.”

“They come at you with a diverse type of offense. They will run two-back or traditional wing-T concepts and then they’ll jump into a spread look where they’re running a shotgun with four wides,” he said. “Because of that, we have to make sure that we make our adjust-ments first and foremost to the formation and the sys-tem they’re running — and that is secondary to the per-sonnel.”

Although Roth said the Tigers are looking more at the schemes than the per-sonnel for Central Moun-tain, one player in particu-lar deserves the defense’s attention.

Junior quarterback Justin Neff has not only passed for 516 yards and five touch-downs (against just two interceptions). But he has rushed for 521 yards and

nine TDs, caught a TD pass and has 422 kickoff return yards with three TDs. The 6-foot-2, 185-pound Neff, who also starts at safety, has 1,023 all-purpose yards, despite missing a game with an injury.

Roth added that there are some other athletes on offense. Running back Hunter Weaver has run for 673 yards and four TDs and wide receiver Tyler Za-blocki has 20 catches for 387 yards and three scores.

“We’re looking at a situ-ation where we just played on a Thursday, so our kids got to go watch Selinsgrove on Friday. So as a coach, you’re thinking they’re coming into this one (to-night) with Selinsgrove on their minds,” Roth said.

“We have to try to just do whatever we can to get their focus on this game and sometimes when you’re playing a team which is not having a strong season like this one sandwiched be-tween two quality teams and it’s away, you have to look for some other things to focus on with your play-ers,” Roth added.

But Roth said this year’s squad has been one of his best at playing at an even keel week after week.

Central Mountain coach Mike Nines said, “We have had several injuries throughout the year, but most players are back. But missing substantial time has affected the timing on the offensive side and the speed of play on the defen-

sive side.”The Wildcats lost an out-

standing two-way starter, Bryce Mansfield, for the season in week four.

“Southern is a fantas-tic team,” Nines said. “I’m looking for execution from our standpoint. We need to execute our base plays, block low, make tackles and run hard.”

The Tigers have avoided key injuries for the most part this season, but did lose right guard Josh Yoder to a leg injury versus Lewisburg.

Roth said the injury has been diagnosed as a se-vere bone bruise and he is hopeful to have the 6-2, 250-pound Yoder, who also shared defensive tackle du-ties, back in the next week or two.

WILLIAMSTOWN — The actual playoffs may still be two weeks away. But for both Line Mountain and Williams Valley, their play-offs have already started. In fact, this week’s game is just the next playoff game from both teams’ standpoint, and it could even be a de facto elimination game, with the loser being effectively elim-inated from actual playoff contention.

Line Mountain has won three straight games after starting 0-5. And though it will need lots of help, it still has an outside shot at the District 4 Class A playoffs if it wins its last two games.

“After an 0-5 start, we’ve been treating each week like it’s the playoffs, so we’ll do the same this week,” said Line Mountain coach Rodney Knock. “If we take care of business, wherever the chips fall, that’s where they’ll fall, but it won’t mat-ter if we don’t take care of business.”

Meanwhile, Williams Val-ley is sitting in fourth place in the District 11 Class A standings, just a hair ahead of fifth-place Schuylkill Ha-ven. With a Week 10 game against a 6-2 Juniata team

that has scored at least 50 points in five games this season on the horizon, head coach Tim Savage recog-nizes the importance of this week’s contest.

“Our playoffs really started last week, so we’re doubling down, setting the same scene with the same message this week,” said Savage. “We had a terrible loss at Northern Lebanon (in Week 6), and that put us behind the eight ball. Oth-erwise, I think we’d already be in the playoffs.

“I think if we win this one, we can lock up the No. 4 seed in districts. Our com-petition also has some rough draws next week.”

Line Mountain’s ground

game has greatly improved from earlier in the season during its current three-game winning streak, and Knock believes his team can continue that success against the Vikings.

“Their strength is with their linebackers. Dylan Rabuck is probably one of the best linebackers in the league, so we have to make sure we get a hat on him,” said Knock. “As long as we can get proper angles and get off the ball, I think we’ll be able to move the ball.”

Defensively, the Eagles have been getting a bit healthier over the last few weeks, especially in the secondary, and that should bode well against a Wil-

liams Valley team that has some speed on the outside and a senior quarterback in Nick Rodichok who has thrown for over 1,300 yards this season.

“Early on, we had lots of injuries in the secondary. But this group has been working together for the last three weeks and they’re getting a little more confi-dence,” said Knock. “Rodi-chok has a nice arm and they have some receivers with speed and good hands. It will be a challenge in cover-age and we’re going to have to get pressure on the quar-terback. But I think we’ll be up for the task as long as we continue improving.”

Cover Story

Young at heart

By Todd HummelThe Daily Item

SUNBURY — Cue the ESPN 30-for-30 announcer voice —

What if I told you for a minute it’s your senior season.

What if I told you you’ve become one of the top play-ers in the Central Susque-hanna Valley.

What if I told you you were key a factor in one of the biggest upsets of the regular season — a 16-14

victory over previously un-defeated Loyalsock.

Then there is always that punch line that his supposed to grab you.

And the tag line for Shikellamy two-way stand-out Shawn Turber’s imagi-nary 30-for-30.

What if I told you you’re a only 16-year old senior.

That’s maybe the nutti-est part of Turber’s football career. As a 16-year old, and with the improvements that the son of John Turber and Anita Ortiz has made be-

tween his junior and senior seasons, whatever college Shawn chooses to play football at will be getting a diamond in the rough.

“He didn’t miss any preseason stuff and he’s been a leader, but honestly (his improvement) has just been maturing. He’s 16,” Shikellamy coach Todd Tilford said. “He had three long touchdowns in week 2 against Jersey Shore and all of the coaches were like, ‘We didn’t know he had that gear.’ He’s been showing us

that gear a lot more lately.“I can’t imagine being as

young as he is and playing so well.”

How well?Turber had three inter-

ceptions in the Braves’ 16-14 victory over previously undefeated Loyalsock to earn him the Easternpafoot-ball.com Player of the Week award. And his return from missing two games with an injury is one of the big rea-sons Shikellamy has three consecutive wins to get back to .500 on the season.

Turber has run for three scores, caught two touch-downs, returned a punt for a score and thrown a touch-down pass. On defense, he has five interceptions in that span.

So other than his return, what does the Braves’ senior say has helped fuel the Braves’ resurgence.

“We wanted to change our season around. We wanted to be successful,” Turber said. “Our team has finally come together as a family.”

Cover StoryTurber admits the Braves’ 1-4 start was tough to swallow. Shikellamy had high expectations to start the season, but fell to Lewisburg in its opener and led last year’s Heartland Athletic Conference Division I champion Jersey Shore in the second half before falling in the fourth quarter. It was tough for the Braves to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

“The first half of the season was pretty tough. We didn’t trust each other or the system,” Turber said. “That has been one of the biggest things. We’ve learned to trust the system and come together as a team.

“I’ve been enjoying this season with my teammates.”

Turber was a big contributor last year on a senior-laden Braves team in the skill positions. He ran for 236 yards and three scores, and he was fourth on the team with 15 catches for 237 yards and two scores. Turber also threw a touch-down pass on the one he attempted last season. He also led the Shikellamy with five interceptions.

This season has been even better de-spite missing two games with an injury. Turber has 502 yards on the ground and seven scores. He owns a team-high 24 catches for 440 yards and another three touchdowns. Turber’s returned a punt for score as well.

Defensively, he has 57 tackles, nine interceptions and one fumble recovery for the Braves.

Turber said he took it upon himself in the offseason to make his senior season one to remember.

“I’m a senior now, so you have to some responsibility for yourself,” Turber said. “I wanted to lead this team and I wanted my last year to be my best year.”

He credits the Braves’ coaching staff as well.

“The coaches have taught me well. They taught me to play defensive back,” Turber said. “I’ve always wanted to excel on the offensive side of the ball. The coaches have been giving me an opportunity to shine.”

Turber’s even thrown the ball three times this season, as Tilford likes to employ the halfback passes. He’s completed all three he’s thrown for 116 yards and two scores.

“Yeah (I like when that play gets called),” Turber chuckled. “There is always a sense of trust between Coach ‘T” and I that’s been built over the years.

“He trusts me enough to complete the pass and to put the ball in my hands.”

And with Turber’s numbers this sea-son, is it any wonder why?

MILLERSBURG — A game between Upper Dau-phin and Millersburg needs no hype. With just eight miles of Route 209 sepa-rating the two schools, the teams are natural backyard rivals.

Adding a bit of intrigue to this year’s matchup, in addi-tion to the fact that Millers-burg beat Upper Dauphin twice last season, is that both teams are in the run-ning for a District 3 Class A playoff berth — and this game could very well turn out to be an elimination game. The Indians come in clinging to the fourth and final playoff spot while Up-per Dauphin is on the out-side looking in at sixth.

“Millersburg is our big-gest rival. We look forward to this game every year,” said Upper Dauphin coach Brent Bell. “It’s a meaning-ful game for both teams re-gardless of the standings.”

“Right now the only thing guaranteed for us is this game,” said Millersburg coach Brad Hatter. “It’s a rivalry game and we were fortunate to come out with wins in both games last year. I’ve been telling our guys that Upper Dauphin is going to be hungry and want to come up to our place and get a win, so it’s important to prepare the right way and let that translate to playing a good game.”

Further adding to what should be an intense matchup, both squads are desperate for a win as both are on two-game losing streaks. The Trojans were trounced by Newport last week after dropping a close one to Line Mountain, while Millersburg is coming off back-to-back lopsided losses to Newport and Juniata.

The Trojans are also

banged up. They expect to start three different players on offense from last week and Bell also had to shuffle up the defensive lineup due to injuries. Senior quarter-back/defensive back Aaron Cleveland will shift on de-fense from the secondary to the defensive line, where he will look to help limit Millersburg’s yards on zone read plays.

“They have a very pro-ficient runner at quarter-back with Christian Win-gard, who is also a capable passer,” said Bell. “We ex-

pect to see a combination of those two things and we can’t get out of position de-fensively. We need to play disciplined and smart up front and not take ourselves out of position like we did last week.”

“They’ve faced us enough over the years that they know if they can stop our run they’ll have a better shot at winning,” said Hat-ter. “They’ve showed some five-man fronts and even some six-man fronts (on film), so I’m anticipating we’ll see that, but we must

adjust.”Offensively, the Trojans’

fortune will be driven once again by Cleveland, who is the team’s leading passer and rusher and has nearly double the total offense as the player with the next most yards on the team.

“We need to establish the running game. Millersburg is very aggressive and won’t sit back. They’ll come and try to get penetration and disrupt things, so we must play smart up front and be aggressive ourselves,” said Bell.

Game Night

By Todd HummelThe Daily Item

BEAVER SPRINGS — Things could be different on Friday night at West Sny-der Middle School.

An East Juniata team feel-ing pretty good about itself after winning back-to-back games facing off against the top team in the Tri-Valley League with a chance at a district playoff berth and a huge upset.

However, that’s not how the last two weeks have gone for East Juniata.

The Tigers feel like they let two games get away — falling to Susquenita and Halifax — with turnovers and late-game miscues.

Now East Juniata has to

bounce back against Tri-Valley at 7 p.m. on Friday at West Snyder Middle School.

The Bulldogs (7-1 overall, 6-0 TVL) can’t get caught looking ahead, because they face Newport (7-1, 6-0) in the final game of the regular season for the TVL title if they both survive on Friday night (the Buffaloes host Halifax).

Tri-Valley is more bal-anced than has been in past years thanks to quarter-back Jaden Buchanan. The senior, in his first year as a starter, has completed 58 percent of his passes for 984 yards and six touchdowns.

His favorite target has been Tyler Lucas, a senior,

who has 26 catches for 386 yards.

However, the Bulldogs still make their living under long-time coach Mike Ulic-ney by running the ball and with their defense.

Sophomore Dawson Schwalm leads the Bull-dogs rushing attack with 498 yards and seven touch-downs. He’s taken the bulk of the carries since Tri-Val-ley’s outstanding sophomore fullback Danny Scheib (301 yards, 5 TDs) has been out since Sept. 25.

The Bulldogs had two players of the year in the TVL last year on the defen-sive side of the ball and nei-ther has disappointed this season.

Senior lineman Hunter Herb is second on the team with 52 tackles and is one of four players on the Bulldogs with at least five sacks.

For the season, Tri-Valley has 34 sacks as a team.

Teams have also learned to stay from Buchanan, who led Pennsylvania with 13 in-terceptions last season. The senior safety has just one this season.

The Tigers (2-6, 1-5) will need to take care of the ball better and get some big plays on offense.

Junior Mason Hambright, the team’s leading rusher, is averaging five yards per carry and 29.3 yards per carry and leads the team with six total touchdowns.

LANCASTER — Fresh off of defeating Ursinus for the first time since joining the Centennial Conference, Susquehanna will now take aim at its first road victory of the year.

And losing the momen-tum of Saturday’s victory isn’t crossing Tom Perk-ovich’s mind.

“We’ve always told the guys to play for our seniors,” Perkovich said. “Those guys now have three games left in their lifetimes. We have a chance at a winning season, and we want to finish this for them.”

Franklin & Marshall (5-2 overall, 4-2 Centennial Conference) awaits Susque-hanna (3-4, 2-4) Saturday afternoon in a 1 p.m. kick-off. Susquehanna is coming off of a 48-21 victory against Ursinus, which Perkovich called the “most complete” performance by his team this season, especially on the defensive side of the ball.

“We dominated through three quarters. We only yielded them 108 yards,” Perkovich said. “We need to continue to make big plays on defense and get the ball back to our offense.”

Defensive back C.J. Wil-liams returned to see his first game action after missing a month with an injury. He in-tercepted Ursinus quarter-back Nick Lundholm on the Bears’ third offensive snap. Williams will start against F&M.

“Getting C.J. back is very big because it gives us depth in the secondary,” Perkovich said. “You always want your best guys out there. We’ll be rotating him in as he gets back up to game speed.”

The Crusaders defense held Ursinus without a third-down conversion through the first 45 minutes of Satur-

day’s victory, and the special teams unit recovered a pair of kickoffs and helped SU win the field position bat-tle. The Crusaders’ average starting field position was its own 41-yard line.

“It helps when your of-fense only has to go 60 yards,” Perkovich said.

The Diplomats have played their last few games with freshman quarterback Tanner Erisman. Starter Matt Magarity was a dual-threat athlete and amassed more than 1,000 yards of total offense in five games. Taalib Gerland and Dave Shellhammer are the Dip-lomats’ top rushers and re-ceiver Bobby Keyes has five touchdowns on 24 catches.

“They’re very well coached and they make ad-justments well,” Perkovich said of F&M, which aver-ages 367 yards and 22 points per game. “They’re very physical up front. We need to get off to a great start like we did against Ursinus and put the pressure on them.”

F&M’s defense will be tested by a Susquehanna

offensive unit which posted a 498-yard effort Saturday, going over 200 yards each rushing and passing. But one of the most notable items of the Crusaders’ of-fensive performance Satur-day didn’t necessarily jump out on the stat sheet.

The SU receiving corps had what Perkovich de-scribed as “one of their best games” of the season, gener-ating four pass interference penalties against the Ursinus secondary and also blocking well without the ball.

“I tell the guys, ‘When you attack the ball, good things happen. Either you draw a flag or make a play,’”

Perkovich said. “Our senior receivers take a lot of pride in their play.”

And the ground game, despite not having the ser-vices of Cameron Ott, hasn’t missed a beat. Kyle Neuschatz leads the SU ground game with 291 yards and two scores after a 157-yard performance last week-end.

“We tried to take a little more of the load off of (quar-terback) Nick (Crusco),” Perkovich said. “Kyle and our O-line played fantastic. It was nice to see Kyle get going like that. He came out with a different energy in pregame.”

EASTON — Its losing streak now at three, Buck-nell heads across the state to face another struggling program in Lafayette on Saturday.

The Bison (3-4, 0-2 Patriot League) lost by a touchdown for the second straight week this past Saturday, as they fell to Georgetown 17-9. The defense did an admirable job holding the Hoyas to 17 points and 288 yards from scrimmage, but the offense managed just one score in four trips to the red zone.

“When you’re only flirt-ing with the red zone and not putting points on the board ... you’ve got to score points,” Bucknell coach Joe Susan said. “We dropped two touchdown passes last week. That’s what differen-

tiates you from being a re-ally good team and being a 3-4 team.”

It wasn’t all bad for Buck-nell last week. Junior quar-terback R.J. Nitti threw for 338 yards to record the first 300-yard game of his career.

“We dropped 10 balls (against Georgetown),” Su-san said, “and it’s not like they’re balls you have to lay out to catch. ... These are balls that are on you. That changes R.J. Nitti’s day (from a 300-yard game) into a 400-yard day.”

The Bison also welcomed back junior running back C.J. Williams, who had missed the previous two games due to concussion protocol. He ran for 103 yards on 26 carries and caught five passes for 38 yards.

“He’s a hammer,” Susan said of Williams following

the game. “I’m not sure he’s 100 percent yet, but it’s good to have him back.”

Lafayette (1-7, 0-3) is cur-rently going through its worst season since 2001, when the Leopards were also 1-7 through eight games.

“They’ve played every-body tough, which is a credit to (coach) Frank (Tavani) and his staff,” Susan said. “They’ve had to deal with the death of a player over the summer, which is a trag-edy that they don’t write a book about in terms of how to deal with that.”

The Leopards’ Brian Keller was killed in a car accident in June. Keller was a tight end who prob-ably would have been a contender for all-Patriot League honors.

“That punches a hole in your heart when something like that happens,” Susan

said.Lafayette has been out-

scored 274-72 this year. Junior quarterback Drew Reed has thrown for 1,318 yards this season, and soph-omore tailback DeSean Brown has a team-high 283 yards on the ground.

“This will be a tough game for both teams,” Su-san said. “I believe our kids will be ready to play.”

Although Bucknell is fo-cusing on getting back on the winning track Saturday, the game is also big because of its long-standing rivalry with Lafayette. The series began in 1883, and this will be the 92nd meeting.

“The alums get pumped for it, and our kids do as well,” Susan said. “In my tenure here, we’ve won two out of the five (against the Leopards). We have a chance to even that up.”

EAST STROUDS-BURG — Its outright lead of first place in the PSAC East gone, Bloomsburg (5-3 overall, 4-1 PSAC East) will seek to rebound and remain at the top of its division against a pass-happy East Stroudsburg (4-4, 3-2) team Saturday afternoon.

Kickoff from Eiler-Mar-tin Stadium in East Strouds-burg is set for 1 p.m.

Saturday’s game will mark the third consecutive week the Huskies will have faced a potent passing quar-terback. Two weeks ago, it was Kutztown’s Chad Bar-ton; and he was followed by West Chester’s Pat Mo-riarty. Now, Bloomsburg’s defense, No. 1 in the PSAC in yards allowed per game (300.4) and points per game (17.5), will be put to the test against arguably the con-ference’s best passer, ESU’s Matt Soltes.

Soltes, in eight games, has connected on 33 touchdown passes — 17 of them to War-riors receiver Joe Schnarrs, who has 81 receptions for 1,176 yards. The Warriors field general has attempted 356 passes (44.5 attempts per game) and totalled 2,976 yards. He’s thrown only six interceptions.

Bloomsburg has won each of its last six games against East Stroudsburg by a mini-mum of two possessions, in-cluding a 34-13 triumph last year. ESU, in fact, hasn’t beaten the Huskies since 2005.

But this game is particu-larly important in terms of the conference standings. Bloomsburg is tied with West Chester and Shippens-burg atop the PSAC East with 4-1 marks. The Hus-kies have defeated Ship, but fell to West Chester 33-22 last weekend. WCU lost to Ship, 27-11, two weeks ago.

A loss to ESU would be most damaging to the Hus-kies’ goal of winning the conference. The Warriors, on top of possessing a po-tent pass game, are coming off a humbling 63-17 loss at the hands of Kutztown.

Bloomsburg’s aforemen-tioned defense was up to the task against a powerful West Chester offense, lim-iting the Golden Rams to 255 yards (235 yards below West Chester’s per game av-erage), and only 74 of those were rushing. Bloom rallied from a 19-0 deficit after one period to take a 22-19 lead in the second half before WCU pulled away.

Though ESU was held to only 17 points against Kutztown, the Warriors are still averaging a gaudy 41.1 points and 490 yards per game.

Donovan Morris had

a monster game against West Chester. He piled up 14 tackles (11 solo) for Bloomsburg, and leads the team with 43 tackles (one for loss) and is tied for the team lead in interceptions, with two. Shikellamy grad Garrett Pope posted a nine-tackle performance against WCU, and is third on the Bloom defense in tackles, with 39.

Joe Wetty notched his team-leading seventh sack of the season, and he leads Bloomsburg in tackles for loss, with eight.

West Chester was able to bottle up Bloomsburg’s po-tent rushing attack, which was averaging more than 240 yards per game, to 75 yards on 42 carries. And quarterback Tim Kelly, who had been playing efficiently over the middle portion of Bloomsburg’s season, threw

three interceptions in Sat-urday’s loss.

Feature back Lawrence Elliott Jr. managed only 24 yards on 18 carries against the Golden Rams. Elliott is 97 yards shy of 1,000 rush-ing for the season. Kelly, the third Huskies quarterback to surpass 7,000 yards pass-ing in a career, has reached the 1,100 yard benchmark for the season.

East Stroudsburg’s ground attack, lightly uti-lized, averages 116 yards per game. It is paced by 10 rushing touchdowns from Gerald Van De Cruz and a team-high 567 yards from Robert Healy.

The Warriors defense is paced by Sekou Jones’ 56 tackles. ESU has tallied 51 tackles for loss, 17 sacks and 11 interceptions, but it has also allowed an average of 440 yards per game.

By Joe JulianoThe Philadelphia Inquirer

STATE COLLEGE — These have been a tough two weeks for the usually solid Penn State defense. The Nittany Lions have yielded more than 400 yards of total offense to both Ohio State and Maryland, the two worst performances statisti-cally in the 13-game tenure of defensive coordinator Bob Shoop.

Lions coach James Frank-lin outlined a few reasons for the uncommon run of his defense Tuesday at his weekly teleconference: poor tackling, up-tempo oppo-nents with running quarter-backs and possible fatigue from not having had a bye yet this season.

“There’s definitely some areas we can improve,” he said. “We played such good defense around here for the last year and a half, we’ve got to get back to that. So obviously it’s an area that we’re focused on and want to get back to playing the way we’re capable of play-ing.”

The Nittany Lions ran into mobile quarterbacks the last two weeks in Ohio State’s J.T. Barrett and Maryland’s Perry Hills. Barrett did not play the entire game against Penn State on Oct. 17, but he still rushed for 102 yards and two touchdowns on 11 car-ries. Hills carried the ball 26 times for 124 yards and one score as the Terrapins rolled up 466 yards, the most against a Shoop-led defense at Penn State.

The issue of poor tack-ling has surfaced in several games for the Lions this season. Franklin called the matter “an epidemic right now in college football.”

“I think a lot of it is, you don’t tackle as much (in practice), and then you get

banged up,” he said. “You get bumps and bruises and you’re modifying practice and it starts to show up. You’ve got to be so disci-plined in everything you’re doing ... that you don’t fall into bad habits of not wrap-ping up or that you don’t close the distance between you and the offensive player to make sure that you’re not lunging.”

Fatigue also may be an issue. Maryland held the ball for more than 36 min-utes, although Penn State tightened up in the fourth quarter, allowing just three points.

The Nittany Lions have played eight straight weeks this season and don’t have a bye until Nov. 14, which is why Franklin said he is go-ing to modify practices this week “fairly dramatically.”

“I actually told them in the locker room right after

the (Maryland) game that we were going to modify some things this week,” he said. “I just think it’s the right thing to do.

“It’s hard because the old-school coaching just wants to say, we’re going to go and grind it out. We still need work. We need to be more physical up front, pad work and all that kind of stuff. But the other thing is you’ve got to get to get to the game as healthy as you possibly can. It’s a game that people

get worn down physically and mentally.”

Penn State apparently won’t have to worry about elusive mobile quarterbacks on Saturday when Illinois visits Beaver Stadium. Fight-ing Illini quarterback Wes Lunt is more of a traditional passer who can buy time for himself in the pocket but doesn’t usually take off. He is fourth in the Big Ten with an average of 243 passing yards per game.

Game Night

By Mike JensenThe Philadelphia Inquirer

Former Temple athletic director Bill Bradshaw said he used to see the Notre Dame athletic director or another administrator from the school at a game or an NCAA convention — or maybe he’d call them, just to bring up the subject of a football game.

“Not really about Phila-delphia, just about an away game — get the foot in the door,” Bradshaw said over the phone Monday. “It meant a big guarantee, a national TV game, the prestige, just playing there is coveted.”

No interest.“They really didn’t return

calls,” Bradshaw said. “I un-derstood it, because I didn’t believe we gave any value. We weren’t a good win or a good loss.”

He also knew that the Irish, who last played in Philadelphia against Navy in 1993 and had never played Temple, had their choice of opponents, the full menu.

So how did things get from there to Notre Dame showing up Saturday night at Lincoln Financial Field? First, Al Golden came in as Temple coach and began to chip away. The Owls got to a bowl game in 2009. Around that time, Bradshaw ran into a Notre Dame adminis-trator he knew. A different conversation started.

“The brand started to get a little bit better,” Bradshaw said. “They said they could be interested.”

That eventually turned into talks about a single game in South Bend, Ind. (One source had Temple getting $900,000 guaran-teed for the game.) Soon the conversation evolved into adding a home-and-home, with each side keeping the revenue from those two dates separate from the one

guaranteed game in South Bend.

“It was really like a magic moment,” Bradshaw said of the announcement in 2011, “to say Notre Dame would come in.”

Originally, the first game was to be in Philadelphia in 2014, with a return date to South Bend this year and a third game at a date to be determined — but that changed. There also was concern when Notre Dame entered into a new agreement with the Atlantic Coast Conference that put the Irish into the ACC for basketball and other sports. They weren’t in for football but had a scheduling agree-ment to include five ACC games. That meant some finagling in Notre Dame’s schedule.

“I was as concerned as anybody could possibly be

about that,” Bradshaw said of losing the game. “We had meetings about that, talked about what we could do. There was a moment in the contract, if they canceled before a certain day, the lan-guage — it might have been more than a year before the game, it was just a $100,000 buyout, after that it would become much larger.”

That was if either school canceled, but Temple obviously wasn’t going anywhere. And Bradshaw said a call never came from South Bend. The Irish stayed in. The schedule was later moved a bit, result-ing in Temple’s going to South Bend in 2013 and the Philadelphia game this year instead of last.

The original thought, Bradshaw said, was to have the Penn State and Notre Dame home games in sepa-

rate seasons, so Temple’s average attendance wouldn’t be sky high one year and lower another. But Temple wasn’t calling those shots. That chain of happenstance puts the Irish here when Temple is 7-0 for the first time in its history. Last year, ESPN’s “College Game-Day” surely wouldn’t have shown up for the weekend. Who knows if ABC would have wanted the game for prime time? (Getting Notre Dame is always a good deal since NBC has its home games. Temple’s magical start is the bonus.)

“Nobody could have fore-seen all of this,” Bradshaw said.

He joked of the Penn State and Irish games: “I would like a cut of those two games in retirement.”

He’s pretty proud of how it all played out and has the

stories inside the story, like the news conference an-nouncing the deal. Natu-rally, the Temple Owl was there and Bradshaw thought it was pretty cool the Notre Dame official who flew in brought along the Lepre-chaun, the school’s famed student mascot.

He thanked the adminis-trator for that and the man said, “I don’t know him.”

Bradshaw said he went over to the Leprechaun and asked if he was from Notre Dame.

“No, I’m Joe Something from Fishtown,” Bradshaw remembers the guy say-ing. “It was some guy who dressed up as the Lepre-chaun.”

It’s not exactly the luck of the Irish, but at least there’s been some craziness in-volved with this game from the start.
