Game Night

By Todd HummelThe Daily Item

SELINSGROVE — Fri-day night is the annual re-newal of the Little Brown Jug rivalry between Mifflin-burg and Lewisburg, which due to Bucknell University’s Homecoming, will be con-tested at Nicholas Lopardo Stadium at Susquehanna University.

It’s one last chance for the Mifflinburg seniors to pick up a big win after last week’s loss to Shamokin eliminated them from contention for ei-ther a District 4 Class AA or Eastern Conference Divi-sion II berth.

“It’s rival time. Regard-less of how the year has gone, this game always has the teams fired up on both sides,” Mifflinburg coach Jason Dressler said. “Last week’s loss was tough, but as with everything this year, the kids have handled it in stride and look to moved forward.

“As with any loss, it was disappointing, but the team is looking to finish the sea-son with a good game against Lewisburg.”

That kind of effort from Mifflinburg is exactly what worries Lewisburg coach Michael Ferriero.

“If you aren’t fired up for a rivalry game, there is noth-ing I can do to get you fired up,” Ferriero said. “We re-ally preached this week that Mifflinburg can’t make the playoffs, so their seniors are really going to be fired up to

go out with a win.”For Lewisburg to avoid

the upset and a second con-secutive loss in the rivalry, it must avoid some of the slow starts that have plagued it this season.

“What we can’t afford is another first half like Milton, Danville or Warrior Run. We started slow in those games,” Ferriero said “I put it on the seniors’ shoulders this week to just step up and let the younger kids know what kind of rivalry this is and what they have to be prepared for.”

Friday night’s game will be a battle of two of the top receiving corps in the area. The game will feature the four top pass catchers in the area by receptions.

Mifflinburg senior Tristan Martin has 42 catches for 605 yards and six scores, while classmate Brian Zimmer-man has 28 catches for 695 yards (24.8 yards per catch) and eight TDs. Lewisburg ju-nior Noah Inch has 34 grabs for 454 yards and five scores, while Matt Fedorjaka added 29 catches for 359 yards and three scores for the Green Dragons.

It’s the athleticism on each offense that has both coaches concerned heading into Friday night.

“(Mifflinburg quarter-back Jordan) Wagner throws a good ball and he all those athletes on the outside,” Fer-riero said. “He’s going to be a big test for our secondary and our defensive line has

to get a pass rush or we are going to be susceptible to big plays.”

The Green Dragons’ game plan will continue to be the same: establish the run.

“We’re going into every game trying to establish the run,” Ferriero said. “Of course that puts it on the shoulders of the offensive line once again.”

The Green Dragons’ front has responded, including 240 yards last week against War-rior Run. Senior Drew New-comb has 666 yards and eight touchdowns on the ground, while fullback Logan Aikey, who had his first 100-yard game on the ground this sea-son against the Defenders, adds 509 yards and seven scores.

Game Night

By Harold RakerFor The Daily Item

COAL TOWNSHIP — Fans of Mount Carmel and Shamokin must have felt this season as if they had gone to Knoebels Grove and bought a ticket on the Phoenix.

Both the Red Tornadoes and Indians, who meet Fri-day night in the annual Coal Bucket Trophy game, have tested the patience of their supporters.

There was Mount Carmel, starting out 2-0, then laying a giant egg versus Selins-grove Columbia in week 3. The Indians, 0-10 a season ago, also started 2-0 before falling in a mercy rule game at Southern Columbia.

The up-and-down sea-sons continued for both, but now, in the regular-season finale, the Red Tornadoes and Indians, both locked into playoff berths, still have something for which to play in this Heartland Ath-letic Conference crossover game.

Shamokin (5-4) needs to win to secure a winning season for the first time in more than 10 years and a win would probably give the Indians a home game next week in the District 4 Class AAA playoffs.

Mount Carmel (7-3) prob-ably needs to win to grab one of the top four seeds in the District 4 Class AA playoffs, which would give the Red Tornadoes a home game as well next week.

Shamokin has not won the Coal Bucket since 1995, when its first-year head coach, Pat DiRienzo, was an assistant on the Indians’ staff.

Despite all that is at stake, and the hoopla surrounding this rivalry, DiRienzo said he and his assistant coaches would try to keep the rou-tine the same this week as

any other week.“On Saturday, we had

a team meeting and we watched our game film (from the win over Mifflin-burg) and tried to correct mistakes. But the buzz is there, especially for the se-niors because this is their last chance,” DiRienzo said.

But, he said, “as coaches, we have to go about the business as usual.”

He said Tuesday that the plan was to keep practices the same. “I don’t want to peak too early in the week. We plan to work on the things we need to work on to get better for Friday night.”

The Red Tornadoes, in part because of injuries, and in part because of matchups, have changed their offense and defense from game to game.

Coach Carm DeFran-cesco expects to have his

same starting lineup for the third week in a row, a first for the season.

That probably means a four-man front on defense and a heavy dose of the run game between junior full-back Kyle Karycki and tail-back Blake Panko.

DeFrancesco said this game will not be so much about Xs and Os but about desire.

“The team that wants to win the game usually wins. That’s the way it’s always been and it will be the same thing Friday,” he said.

But, he added, “We have been playing so inconsis-tently throughout the sea-son, I am sure the Shamokin coaching staff and the Shamokin people feel they have a legitimate chance to win, and they should feel that way.”

DiRienzo said, “I just think (the Red Tornadoes)

are going to line up man-to-man, not be too fancy, and do what they do best, which is a four-man front.”

But the Shamokin coach said the Indians have faced all of the different defensive alignments at one time or another this season.

“We’re going to prepare for everything, but it is kind of hard to change every-thing for one game, and be good at it,” he said.

The Indians will again be led by outstanding senior quarterback Tucker Yost. He is a dangerous runner in Shamokin’s read option offense, and can also air it out.

Meanwhile, DiRienzo said, the Red Tornadoes have numerous weapons, led by Panko and Karycki, their dual threat quarter-back, junior Dominick Far-ronato, and dangerous kick returners, led by Panko.

Game Night

By Todd HummelThe Daily Item

SUNBURY — The Mil-ton High football team headed into Selinsgrove’s Harold L. Bolig Memorial Field last week beaten down mentally from a 1-8 season.

Though the game went about as expected for the Black Panthers, coach George Goodwin saw some positives he hopes will carry over to tonight’s finale on the road at Shikellamy in a Heartland Athletic Confer-ence Division I matchup.

“Our kids continued to play through the whole four quarters,” Goodwin said. “We were hurt by the same things we have been all year — penalties and miscues — but we kept fighting.”

Junior tailback Raff Ro-driguez ripped off a 95-yard touchdown and a 112-yard effort against the Seals.

It’s these brights spots — along with fullback Bran-don Stokes, the team’s leading rusher and a junior, and the fact that he returns most of his offensive line — that Goodwin is using as a building block for the 2015 season.

“In the greater scheme of things, we return some good backs and most of our of-fensive line,” Goodwin said. “There is no substitute for game experience.

“Hopefully, we’ll be able to build off this (season).”

For the Braves and coach Todd Tilford, Friday night’s game is the final home game for the seniors as Shikel-lamy will go on the road for next week’s first round of the District 4 Class AAA playoffs.

Shikellamy, which broke a two-game losing streak with last week’s victory over Dan-ville, would like to see more improvement as the Braves get ready for the playoffs.

“We were happy to see the kids make some plays

in the passing game last week,” Tilford said. “We feel the offensive line (after some midseason injuries) is starting to get more com-fortable.”

Junior Christian Schlegel threw for 231 yards and two scores last week with Shawn Turber adding three catches for 105 yards.

It’s the Braves’ ability to make big plays in the pass-ing game that concerns Goodwin.

“They have some ath-letes that will present some matchup problems for our secondary,” Goodwin said. “We watched Turber run a

go-route two separate times on film for touchdowns, so we’ll have to account for him.”

The Black Panthers can’t forget the Braves’ running game, either, led by fullback

Brett McCreary.McCreary had 121 yards

and two scores on the ground last week against the Iron-men. McCreary leads the Braves with 743 yards and eight scores on the ground.

Game Night

By Chris NagyFor The Daily Item

BEAVER SPRINGS — The final night of the high school football regu-lar season brings together a matchup of two Tri-Valley League teams that are look-ing toward the future.

Line Mountain (4-5) visits East Juniata (2-7) looking to end the season at .500 and possibly get a playoff spot. But even if that playoff spot happens, it’s not all about that for the Eagles.

“We want to end on a high note,” said Line Mountain coach Rodney Knock.

And winning three out of its last four games will do just that.

East Juniata is also look-ing to head into the offsea-son with the same accom-plishment.

Any chance the Tigers had of making the playoffs went out with the bath water last week in a 45-16 loss to Tri-Valley.

East Juniata went into the game on a two-game win-ning streak and in the end it was that confidence that did them in.

“We came into that game thinking we didn’t even have to show up to win it,” said East Juniata coach Brett Hartman. “We came in too sure of ourselves and then all off a sudden we were down 39-0 at halftime.

“It was a great lesson for these kids that you just don’t show up and expect to win. You have to work to win and put in the effort. I think that sunk in on the bus ride home.”

Until last week, the Tigers’ offense had been rolling un-der the guidance of quarter-back Chris Schulgen.

The sophomore is aver-aging about 100 yards a game in the last three on the ground using a variety of read option and designed run plays.

Running back Andrew Zerby has stepped up in the last three weeks as a viable option in the backfield. Ma-son Hambright forms a dan-gerous pass catching trio along with Andrew Karch-ner and Bailey Hetrick for Schulgen.

But even though the of-fense has been putting up numbers, Hartman points

towards the defense.“Except for a few halves

here and there, our defense has been strong all season,” he said. “The kids have been working hard.”

As for Line Mountain, the Eagles have gone back to the basics on offense.

“We have some big bodies up front, so we just decided we need to start running be-

hind them,” said Knock.Over the last four games,

sophomore halfback Kenny Boyer has been getting a lot of the carries and is averag-ing 100 yards a game.

“Kenny is tough for how small he is,” said Knock. “He has great vision.

“We just needed to start getting him the ball more.”

Game Night

CATAWISSA — With district seeds and berths wrapped up and all league championships decided, Friday night’s showdown between Selinsgrove and Southern Columbia might seem like it has little bear-ing on the 2014 football sea-son in the overall scheme of things.

However, both Seals coach Dave Hess and Tigers coach Jim Roth would dis-agree. Friday night’s Heart-land Athletic Conference crossover game promises to get both teams prepared for the upcoming District 4 playoffs.

“It’s a big game. It’s South-ern and it’s Selinsgrove,” Hess said. “It will give us a chance to experience a big-game atmosphere. We’ll have the experience where the other teams might not.

“It’s a great way to end the season. We love to play them anytime of the season, but this is like the playoffs started a week early.”

Roth agrees with Hess for the most part, but is a little leery of the game being a week before the postsea-son.

“It’s a positive for us just because it gives us competi-tion heading into the play-offs, which is something that cost us last season. We’ll be better prepared to play a hard-fought four quarters in the playoffs,” Roth said. “I’m just concerned about being banged up a little the first week of the playoffs.

“With these kinds of tough, physical games, this is always a concern.”

The Tigers (9-0) have cer-tainly had their fair share of injuries this season — losing Luke Rarig in week one for the year and Blake Marks for the year two weeks ago against Lewisburg. Brad Noll and Billy Marzeksi stepped in for Marks on the

offensive end; each had a rushing touchdown against Central Mountain last week.

Where the Tigers are still unsure about replac-ing Marks is on the defen-sive side of the ball. Central Mountain’s offense didn’t really test the new starter in Marks’ rover role — Jacob Potter — but Roth has con-fidence.

“Potter didn’t have a whole lot of opportunity against Central Mountain just by virtue of how they ran their offense,” Roth said. “It’s more of hybrid position — where he’s a linebacker against certain offensive sets and a safety against others. Potter has played both linebacker and safety, but never both where he has to read the offense to determine where he lines up.

“We’re confident he can do the job, though.”

Southern Columbia’s run defense should be tested by the Seals’ (7-2) two-back attack of Juvon Batts and Zach Adams.

“Batts and his speed to the outside is always a con-cern and then they can back to Adams as a physical back inside,” Roth said. “They’ve been running the quarter-back more and that gives you an extra blocker in the running game and it gives a lot of balance in the running game.”

Hess knows it will be im-portant to get the running game going against the Ti-gers, but it will be quite dif-ficult.

“Their front four is excel-lent. (Defensive end Chase) Tillett just jumps off the screen,” Hess said. “The linebackers and the second-

ary are really fast, too.”Friday night is also a

chance for the Seals to prove themselves after dropping big games earlier this season against Berwick and Jersey Shore. That’s the part that worries Roth the most.

“Selinsgrove could very easily be undefeated, the two games they lost, they could very easily be undefeated,” Roth said. “When you lose two close games like that and you have the kind of tra-dition that Selinsgrove does, it really gives you motivation to beat a good team.

“As far as I’m concerned, I think they have a lot of mo-tivation for this game now.”

By Todd HummelThe Daily Item

DANVILLE — When Warrior Run and Danville take the field in Friday night’s Heartland Athletic Conference Division II matchup, it will be battle of the bottom two teams in the league.

However, as the Defend-ers and Ironmen wrap up their 2014 seasons, both coaches are pleased with the progress both of their teams have made.

Warrior Run coach Mark Burrows and his team struggled through an in-jury-plagued 1-9 year last season. The Defenders won two games this season, but there is a whole different feeling around the Warrior Run program heading into the offseason.

“It certainly isn’t re-flected in our record, but other than the Southern Co-lumbia game, we’ve been in every contest at halftime,” Burrows said. “We haven’t quit and it’s something I’m really proud off. Our level of intensity never waned.

“We just haven’t put four quarters together since the Wyalusing game.”

For the Ironmen and Danville coach Jim Keiser, they’ve had a very similar season to Warrior Run’s last year. Danville has been hindered by injury and sus-pensions this season with a team that already had depth issues with a small roster to start 2014.

“They’ve really played a tough schedule this year with a small roster,” Bur-rows said. “Those guys are my friends over there and I know what coach Keiser and his staff are going through.”

Burrows jokingly called Friday night’s game the bat-tle for bragging rights at the Washingtonville Hill.

The Ironmen once again have been hit by the injury bug as senior captain and

leading rusher Tom Brouse will miss Friday’s game.

Sophomore Trent Hilk-ert, who has missed most of the season with an in-jury, returns to take over for Brouse. Freshman Adam Copenhaver will step in on defense at middle line-backer, which could put seven freshman on the field on the defensive side of the ball for Danville.

Keiser’s main goal is to get his seniors a second win this year. The Ironmen seniors have seen both good times (two district title game ap-pearances, including a dis-trict title two years ago) and the bad (this year), but through it all, they’ve tried to be leaders for the young Ironmen.

“We just want to get the kids a good feeling going into the offseason. These seniors have done so much for us this year. We want to send them out with a win,” Keiser said. “We all under-stood how young we would be this season and how much the lack of depth this year was going to hurt us.

“We just really want to

give them a good send off.”For Burrows and the De-

fenders, it’s one last chance to get their struggling of-fense going. Warrior Run has been shut out twice in the last three games and has scored three touchdowns in a game just three times this

year.“The defense has played

great all year, but they’ve been out on the field too much the last couple of games,” Burrows said. “It’s a little hard to stay in games when you are always throw-ing a goose egg.”

Game Night

By Marion ValanoskiFor The Daily Item

BLOOMSBURG — There is no postseason for Bloomsburg or Central Co-lumbia next week, so both head coaches are using this backyard rivalry as their own little playoff game in the regular season matchup in this Heartland Confer-ence crossover game.

Both the Panthers and Blue Jays had bigger expec-tations heading into 2014 before a series of injuries for Bloomsburg and sev-eral heart-breaking losses for Central left both squads with one last chance to come off the field with brag-ging rights.

“This would be a great way for our seniors in their final game at home to end their careers by beating Central Columbia,” Bloomsburg coach Mike Kogut said. “Not only do you end the year on a high note, but it provides momentum and a positive feeling for those players who will be back to play next year, and I’m sure their players and coaching staff are thinking the same way right now.”

Jason Hippenstiel came close to knocking off Mount Carmel last week, dropping a 24-17 OT decision to the Red Tornadoes, who needed Tom Belski’s 26-yard field goal to send the game into an extra period, and Domi-nic Farronato’s one-yard touchdown plunge in OT to secure the victory. His Blue Jays scored 42 points in a 56-42 loss to Loyalsock Township and 28 in a 38-28 defeat at the hands of Tow-anda.

“We know it’s week 10 and there is no football for us after this game, so why not make it our own personal playoff encounter?” Hip-penstiel said. “Let the play-ers have something to play for and it’s coming against

our closest rival.”Kogut knows all too well

the Blue Jays are going to come right at the Panthers using the running talents of Danny Koch, who has rushed for over 1,000 yards this year, along with Lewis Williams, who has shown that not only is he a solid receiver but a very capable

runner: He collected 86 against the Red Tornadoes while quarterback Steve Shannon has thrown for over 900 yards.

“Central Columbia will come right at you with Koch and Williams and you had better be ready or you will be in trouble,” Kogut sad. “It all starts up front and

they have a very good of-fensive line that opens holes and can drive you off the ball. The quarterback is also dangerous and you have to be aware of his ability to get the ball downfield to Wil-liams, who knows what to do once he catches the ball.

“Defensively, they play a 4-4 but also give you that 6-2 look you see from Southern Columbia. They’ll try and plug up the holes and like to cause problems in the back-field and their players are aggressive and come right at you.

“Offensively, we have to stop being our own worst enemy with mistakes, which has frustrated us all season. Instead of shooting our-selves in the foot, it’s im-portant we stay focused the entire game and just play Football 101.”

Hippenstiel sees a much-improved Bloomsburg team on film than the one that started the season, and he knows his team has got to be ready to play if the Blue Jays want to end the year on a high note.

“They mix the spread and the I, but when it comes down to it, they will come right at you and that offen-sive line is big and aggres-sive,” the Blue Jays men-tor said. “Their speedster (Javhel Hemphill) missed the early part of the year but he’s playing now and has shown he’s explosive and can hurt you from anywhere on the field and the quarter-back can hurt you with his throwing and the fullback Sam Miller is a tough inside runner.

“We see a 4-4 look on defense and they want to control all the action at the line and their players are ag-gressive. I truly believe the game will be won up front in the trenches and whoever can run the ball is going to be in control.”

The battle for the bucket

Can Shamokin finally wrest the Coal Bucket from Mount Carmel?

Daily Item file photo

Shamokin’s Jared Savlov makes a catch in front of Mount Carmel’s Matt Moroz during the 2007 game.

By Harold RakerFor The Daily Item

All Pat DiRienzo wanted do for most of his life was beat Mount Carmel in football.

The current first-year Indians head coach was a member of the Indians’ coaching staff in 1995 when Shamokin won the game

15-0.Even today, he finds it

hard to believe that was the last Shamokin win in the series, in which the winner retains the Coal Bucket Trophy. The Indians have lost the last 18 games and the Red Tornadoes lead the series 46-15-2.

The last Shamokin win came in week three of the 1995 season, with both teams having won their first two games. And Mount Carmel, under second-year head coach Dave “Whitey” Williams, was coming off a Class AA state champion-ship.

Since then, DiRienzo said, “We have had some

very competitive teams and in the years we played them third, there were a couple of times we were both going in 2-0. but we always came out of the game on the short end.”

Mount Carmel coach Carmen DeFrancesco can certainly relate. DeFran-cesco grew up in the Mount Carmel program, like Di-Rienzo has at Shamokin.

But he spent seven years as Shamokin’s head coach, with DiRienzo as one of his assistants.

“I truly believe we had the better team in four of those seven years,” he said, “and we didn’t win that game.”

His Indians losses in-cluded scores of 13-11, 10-2 and 22-21.

Perhaps the most agoniz-ing was the 13-11 game. Late in the first half, the Indians were leading and pinned Mount Carmel back at its own 1-yard line with a punt.

But the Red Tornadoes’ Ryan Kogut ran for a 99-yard touchdown on a quarterback sneak. “We were counting on getting a short field (on offense) and that broke us.”

That’s why DeFrancesco said it is always important to never lose focus and play a full 48 minutes.

“You’ve gotta coach and

you’ve gotta play every down, every minute. You can’t lose focus.

“Even in some of the blowout wins (by Mount Carmel), we played well,” he said of the Indians. “We lost to their state champion-ship team in 2002, but the Shamokin kids never quit. They played 48 minutes and that’s the nature of this game,” he said.

Now that DeFrancesco is on the other side again, he said, “It’s in their blood that they rise up and play a good game against Shamokin and we’re count-ing on that happening again.”

coach said he is proud of DiRienzo, his former assistant, for what he has done with the program this season.

“I’m happy for him that he’s doing a good job. He is a good man and a good football coach. Shamokin made a real good choice when they hired him.”

DiRienzo said, “This game has always been excit-ing, even when I played in high school (he graduated from the school in 1979). It’s a different animal right now. I’m calling the shots, and I’ve seen how other coaches handled the game, how they prepared.”

DiRienzo said it was a pleasure to coach with DeFrancesco. “Now I’m coaching against him and my attitude and (that of) my coaches is that it’s another game on the schedule.”

Nevertheless, both coaches know that this is not just another game in the minds of many in the com-munities, where there are parades, rallies and parties, and even a special Mass to bless the Red Tornadoes, among other activities dur-ing the week leading up to the game.

“There is a lot of commu-nity pride and enthusiasm between the schools going back and forth,” DiRienzo said, noting that for many in the community, it is the only game that matters.

“Win this game and you can lose the rest of them,” he said.

“You can’t believe the things I’ve heard. It’s like this is the only game that matters, and, to a lot of people, it is,” DiRienzo said.

The first-year coach added, for the players, “This would be the topping of a great first year.”

Like DeFrancesco, DiRienzo believes the best team does not always win the Coal Bucket game.

“It’s a matter of emo-tions. I just think we need to be prepared for anything. Trick plays, you know they

are going to happen. We have some tricks up our sleeves too. We have prac-ticed them, but, if we don’t have to use them, we won’t.”

He added, “We respect Carm and the tradition at Mount Carmel. We are go-ing to respect them, but we are not going to fear them.”

DeFrancesco said when

he played in the game, which back then was always held on Thanksgiving Day, players did not talk about the Coal Bucket. The game was for bragging rights on both sides. The Thanks-giving Day game was last played in 1973.

“It was a great spectacle, and it still is,” DeFrancesco

said.“We are a mirror copy of

each other. When Mount Carmel looks at Shamokin and Shamokin looks at Mount Carmel — it’s like people are looking in the mirror. They are the same kind of towns, the same kind of people and that’s why it is so special,” De-

Francesco said.He said the coaches ap-

peal to the players’ legacy. “(We ask them) what is your legacy? Are you going to be the team that keeps the Coal Bucket or are you going to be that team that finally loses it? It’s a big incentive and our kids take pride in that.”

Game Night

By Shawn WoodFor The Daily Item

MILLERSBURG — It wasn’t fourth-and-34 with the game on the line, but it’s not too often that a high school football team con-verts a 3rd-and-35 to keep a drive alive.

That’s what Millersburg did against Upper Dau-phin on Friday night as they scored 21 second-half point to pull off the come-from-behind Tri-Valley League road win.

The win wrapped up the TVL season for the Indians (4-5, 4-4 TVL), as they face nonconference foe Ken-nard-Dale out of the York-Adams 2 league on Friday night.

“I told our kids that the playoffs started at Upper Dauphin and they continue this week at Kennard-Dale,” Millersburg coach Brad Hatter said. “It’s going to be a challenge in sharing with them the sense of urgency that we can’t afford a loss

or our season will be done. That should be motivating enough for the kids.”

The win over the Trojans marked the first time in four games that the Indians did not have 300 or more yards of total offense (299) and it was the first time all year they were held to under 100 yards in passing (84).

“Our run game dictated our passing game and we re-ally didn’t have to throw too much,” Hatter said. “Once we got the game tied, we had something going with our ground game, but it was not a part of the game plan to run more than pass.”

The defense, according to Hatter, stepped up and make some key stops in the second half when they had to. They also recorded two sacks and had two intercep-tions, each coming at crucial times in the game.

“If you are going to come from 21 points down, you have to make stops and our defense did that,” Hatter said. “We did bend, but we

didn’t break.”Trojans running back

Cam Fornwald ran for 226 yards and two touchdowns. It was the first time all year he had rushed for more than 200 yards.

The game also marked the first time all year that sophomore quarterback Christian Wingard did not throw a touchdown pass.

Wingard leads the TVL with 1,565 passing yards and he used his arm strength and mobility to complete the third-down-and-forever play that kept the drive alive.

He was 4-of-10 for 84 yards while rushing for a season-high 82 yards on 21 carries and scoring three touchdowns.

Kennard-Dale is coached by Patrick Weider and they have won just two games in the last two seasons. They’ve been shut out three times this year and they lost last week to rival Susque-hannock, 10-9.

PINE GROVE — It may be the final week of the regular season, yet Hali-fax coach Robert Folk is treating Friday’s Tri-Valley League encounter with Pine Grove like there’s plenty riding on the outcome. Both teams are coming off losses. However, there’s something about heading into next year with a one-game win-ning streak that provides optimism for the returning players.

“We are treating this like a big game and it is in many ways,” the Wildcats mentor said. “The seniors would

like to end their careers on a winning note while a victory also provides the underclassmen with some momentum heading into 2015.”

The Wildcats (1-8) came out on the short end

against league power New-port last week, but did put up 27 points on the score-board while the Cardinals dropped a 21-14 decision to Eastern York and need a

Game Night

By Shawn WoodFor The Daily Item

DUNCANNON — It might be one of the oldest cliches used in sports, but football is a game of inches and Upper Dauphin found that out the hard way last Friday night.

Looking to snap a two-game losing streak, the Tro-jans held a 21-7 lead over Millersburg at halftime.

But as head coach Brent Bell would explain it, it was a series of strange events that ultimately led to their third straight loss.

Upper Dauphin (4-5, 3-4 TVL) had a chance to score right before the first half ended to answer a Mill-ersburg score, but they got stuffed at the five-yard line and ran out of time to get another play off.

“We let them have some big plays in the second half and it was enough for them to put it over on us,” Bell said. “We had our oppor-tunities. We had a fumble that was in our guys’ hand and they ended up with it. We had some drops and we turned the ball over. All that put together was too much to keep the lead we had.”

Bell said the team felt good about the changes they made for the second half and that offensively they played very well.

“We had close to 400 yards in total offense but it wasn’t enough as our defense didn’t play well enough,” he said.

The key play late in the game was the third-and-35 conversion by Millersburg to keep a drive alive.

Cam Fornwald rushed for a season-high 226 yards on 29 carries, also a season high. The senior needs 137 yards to reach 1,000 yards for the season.

“It was a tough loss, but it’s a game that we would have liked to have won,” Bell said. “Our seniors want

to end the season well and we would like to finish at 5-5.”

It’s been a learning experi-ence for first-year Susquen-ita coach Mark Kirk, who has been involved in the past in rebuilding programs.

The Blackhawks (0-9, 0-7 TVL) have a 32-man roster that features only four se-niors, three of whom start.

“We’ve been playing with a very young team all year and we are trying to recre-ate a competitive team from the ground up,” Kirk said.

Kirk inherited a team in

which some kids had just three JV game experiences before playing at the varsity level.

“Our JV team is 4-4 this year and we have a good chance of winning on Mon-day, and it may be the first time ever that they had a winning record for the JV team and that will help us for the future,” he said.

Kirk felt that this year’s team could be 4-5 or 5-4 entering their next-to-last-game of the season, as he said they had been in about four or give games going

into the fourth quarter.“We just couldn’t finish

the games,” he said. “A lot of the kids hadn’t been in those situations before. You have to learn to win and this year we are getting the kids to learn to compete in practice, games and in the offseason and preseason workouts. We’re pretty con-fident that we’ll play well on Friday night.”

Two of Susquenita’s losses were by a combined five points to Pine Grove (21-18) and East Juniata (15-14).

Game Night

John McGonigalPhiladelphia Daily News

STATE COLLEGE — Redshirt senior guard Miles Dieffenbach is itching to put on his Penn State uniform as soon as possible.

It’s just a matter of time.After tearing the ACL in

his left knee in the spring and rehabbing for months, Saturday against Maryland might be the day Dieffen-bach has been waiting for.

“There is no finite line where I’m ready, it’s kind of just a thing where you get a feel for it,” Dieffenbach said. “When I know, I’ll know.”

The 6-3, 305-pound cap-tain has worked his way back into practice the past couple of weeks, and there were whispers that he would appear in last Saturday’s Ohio State game. But Dief-fenbach wore street clothes, not a helmet and pads, as the Nittany Lions squared off against the Buckeyes.

The Pittsburgh native wasn’t ready then, but after another week of rehab and practice? Who knows?

Penn State coach James Franklin said Dieffenbach having a larger role this week and playing against the Terrapins would be “the ideal situation.”

But the lineman won’t be rushed back just to win a game. Franklin said the best interest of his players is the top priority. As it stands, the lineman’s status is still cloudy.

“We’re kind of still de-termining that ourselves,” Franklin said. “It’s not just a physical aspect to it, it’s the muscle memory of the footwork and the tech-niques that he hasn’t done in 6 months.”

Going so long without consistent repetition has been difficult for Dieffen-bach. He’s still been a com-pelling voice in the locker room, but Dieffenbach said it has been hard to lead by

example when he’s not out there working alongside his teammates.

Coming back to full con-tact, absorbing pass rushes, could weigh on him, as well.

To ensure he’s ready to take and dish out a beating in the trenches, Dieffenbach has picked a defensive line-man after recent practices to do one-on-one drills — full contact, full speed.

For example, Dieffenbach said he’ll grab defensive tackle Anthony Zettel, who leads the team in tackles for loss, and have simple in-

structions for him.“I tell him, ‘This is a game

rep, go as hard as you physi-cally possibly can,’ because when I get in the game, no one is going to take it easy

on me,” Dieffenbach said.If Dieffenbach can handle

a guy like Zettel, squaring off against Maryland’s front four might not be an issue.

LEWISBURG — After a long road trip, Bucknell finally returns home Satur-day for a game with Patriot League rival Lafayette.

The Bison have not played at Christy Mathewson-Me-morial Stadium since a win over Cornell on Sept. 27. The Bison won two out of three road games and had one bye week in the month of October, and now they return home looking to re-main unbeaten in league play.

Bucknell (6-1), off to its best start since 1997, is 2-0 in the PL following wins over Lehigh and George-town. Saturday’s contest will be the 1,200 in the 129-year history of the program.

The Bison host a Lafay-ette team (3-5, 1-2) that has lost two straight. The Leop-ards beat the Bison 31-7 in last year’s meeting in Eas-ton.

Lafayette, which leads the all-time series between the in-state rivals at 52-33-6 (including an 11-1 record in the last 12 matchups), is the defending league champion. The Leopards are led by running back and all-pur-pose player Ross Scheuer-man, who leads the team in receiving yards (402) and rushing yards (770). He also has a 90-yard kickoff return for a touchdown this year.

At the quarterback po-sition, Lafayette has used a platoon system between Drew Reed (82-for-140 for 775 yards and 7 TD) and Blake Searfoss (73-for-124 for 802 yards and 5 TD). Reed played the entire game in last week’s loss to Holy Cross, completing 19-of-33 for 192 yards with two touchdowns and two picks.

The Bison have had a bal-anced offensive attack this year, with sophomore run-ning back C.J. Williams rushing for over 100 yards

nine times in his career, including last week’s 22-17 victory over Georgetown.

Williams’ classmate, R.J. Nitti, has been one of the most productive quarter-backs in the league. He’s completed 92 of 170 passes for 1,301 yards and 11 touch-downs in six starts this year. Nitti’s favorite target this

year has been another soph-omore, wideout Will Carter, who has 28 catches for 608 yards and eight touchdowns in 2014. That’s the most re-ceiving yards by a Bucknell receiver since 2008.

NOTES: Bucknell de-fensive lineman Demetrius Baldwin-Youngblood is just two tackles shy of 100 for his

career. ... Senior linebacker Lee Marvel needs just one more tackle for 100 in his ca-reer. ... Nitti needs 318 pass-ing yards Saturday to reach 2,000 for his career. ... Sat-urday’s game is Homecom-ing. Seven new members of the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame will be honored at halftime.

Game Night

SELINSGROVE — When baseball Hall of Famer Yogi Berra told a sportswriter that “90 percent of the game is half mental,” he could have been referencing this year’s Susquehanna Univer-sity football team.

The young Crusaders, who start five freshmen and a pair of sophomores, beat a good Moravian College team on the road in the latter’s home-coming game. With renewed confidence, the Crusaders traveled to Collegeville last week and got taken behind the woodshed by an experi-enced Ursinus team which had been upset by Juniata the week before.

“So much of this game is emotion,” Susquehanna coach Steve Briggs said Tuesday as his team pre-pares to host another good team — Franklin & Mar-shall — on Saturday in a Centennial Conference game.

The biggest problem con-

tinues to be a defense that makes big plays, but gives up way too many yards and scores.

“Defensively, we have to play with more emotion. As high as we were in the win at Moravian, we were really wide-eyed and emotionless on Saturday for most of the day, and that happens when you get hammered,” Briggs said.

“The biggest challenge for us is getting our confi-dence back because, since the Lycoming game, this is the first game where we got dominated in all three phases. They took it to us, they really did,” he said.

Indeed, for the first time since its season opener at Lycoming, Susquehanna (1-6 overall, 1-5 CC) was never in the game at Ursi-nus.

The Crusaders fell behind early and didn’t score until the game was well out of reach.

The Crusaders have not played at home in nearly a

month and Briggs hopes a return to Selinsgrove could help the team get back on track.

“We have to just put it all together. The good part of being young is that they don’t know any better and as a team we have to use that to our advantage,” he said.

Coupled with the youth-fulness of the team — and one of the reasons for it — is an injury bug that recently claimed another key player. Junior running back and team rushing leader Tim Wade was lost for the sea-son with a back injury.

This week, the Crusaders will be without defensive end Alex Pecora (shoulder) and return man Tommy Bluj (concussion).

“But that is why we re-cruit, and work a lot of guys in. We have to take care of business, play hard with emotion and gain our confi-dence back. We can do it,” Briggs said.

The Diplomats (4-3, 3-3)

are another quality team on an unforgiving schedule.

“This is a great chal-lenge against these guys. They have gotten better every week and they have won some big games. They just hammered Moravian,” Briggs said.

He said the Diplomats have a senior-laden offense, but are really young on de-fense.

More importantly for Briggs, the Crusaders must deal with their own issues.

“We know we can play with anybody and beat anybody. We’ve certainly shown that throughout the year. It gets to the point where the guys have to grow up and each week they gain that experience makes them better,” he said.

Briggs does not want to use the team’s youth as an excuse.

“Yes, we have a lot of freshmen playing, but those freshmen now have six or seven games under their belt,” he said.

BLOOMSBURG — Redman Stadium will not play host to another top 10 matchup this weekend, but Bloomsburg will still face a quality opponent.

East Stroudsburg will travel to Bloomsburg to face a Huskies team on Senior Day after a loss to Kutztown snapped a five-game win-ning streak for the Warriors.

Bloomsburg kept its win-ning streak alive to start this season, flipping the script on a West Chester team that ended the Huskies’ 2013 sea-son in the NCAA Division II playoffs. Bloomsburg beat West Chester, 41-10, getting a win over a Rams team that was ranked seventh coming into the matchup.

With the marquee win, Bloomsburg is ranked sixth in the AFCA Division II poll and the Huskies hold the top spot in the NCAA Super Re-gion One rankings.

Along with the rankings boost from the win, Blooms-burg controls its own destiny

in the PSAC East division with a one-game lead in the division.

By win-ning out in the rest of their sched-ule, the H u s k i e s will clinch a spot in the PSAC C h a m p i -onship on Nov. 15.

E d d i e Mateo, the P S A C leader in r u s h i n g t o u c h -downs, had a monster day against West Ches-ter, finish-ing with 269 yards and four touchdowns, and the senior will have a chance to have a big game for the second week in a row.

The Warriors are giving up 221 yards per game on

the ground, with opposing teams scoring 15 rushing touchdowns in the Warriors’

eight games.Mateo has

gashed oppos-ing defenses for 20 touch-downs this sea-son, giving the Warriors an of-fensive game-changer to plan for and giving Huskies coach Paul Darragh another steady running back to pick up yard-age.

The War-riors as a team have reached half of Mateo’s t o u c h d o w n total, scoring 10 times, but East Strouds-burg relies on

an accurate passer to move the chains more often than a dominant back.

One of the top passers sta-tistically in all of Division II, Matt Soltes has thrown for

30 touchdowns against eight interceptions while passing for 2,778 yards. Soltes, who is injured and not expected to play Saturday, ranks sec-ond nationally in touchdown passes and fourth in the country in passing yards.

The New Jersey native chose East Stroudsburg over interest from a number of Division I power-conference programs and has proceeded to stamp his name in the East Stroudsburg and PSAC record books.

The Huskies’ defense has continued to shut down op-posing offenses, allowing 304 yards per game but hold-ing teams to a touch under 14 points per game.

The Huskies started strong last week defensively and finished with a fourth-quarter shutout.

Senior linebacker Justin Shirk has been statistically one of the top defensive players in the PSAC this sea-son with 71 tackles; he didn’t slow down against a then-un-beaten West Chester team, finishing with 11 tackles and half a sack.

win to finish the year with a 5-5 record.

Halifax will continue to ride the throwing arm of Mason Erdman, who has completed 41 of 117 passes for six touchdowns and 700 yards, but has been picked off 10 times. Jacob Paul has 21 receptions for 380 yards and a pair of touchdowns, while Eric Johnston has latched onto 14 passes for 255 yards and 2 TDs. Jarrett Hoy has chipped in with 15 catches for 209 yards.

Johnston is the team’s leading rusher with 409 yards and has tallied two touchdowns; Paul is close behind with 398 yards and two TDs.

“Pine Grove’s offense is very basic and they simply come right at you,” Folk said. “We can expect power football with Mark Weiner providing the bulk of the running game and they also like to run the option. So we have to be prepared for the whole package, it’s like they are telling you, ‘Here we come, now try and stop us if you can.’

“Defensively, they are very aggressive and will run out of a 4-0 or 5-0 front and their players will swarm to the football.”

The Cardinals started off the season strong with a 3-2 mark, but have since man-aged only a 19-8 victory over Tri-Valley.

“If we want to come off the field a winner, we have to eliminate turnovers, which has plagued us all season,” Folk said. “Stop making the mistakes in Week 10 that started in Week 1. Like each week, I look for improve-ment at practice and hope we can limit our mistakes.”
