Game Night

By Todd HummelThe Daily Item

CATAWISSA — Fri-day night at Tiger Stadium, Southern Columbia and Lewisburg will use each other as a measuring stick in their Heartland Athletic Conference Division II matchup as we enter the fi-nal third of the high school season.

It’s a contest between a team that has won 15 con-secutive regular-season matchups by the mercy rule and a team that has won its last four games, all by the mercy rule.

Also add the fact that the Tigers (7-0, 4-0 HAC-II) are first in the District 4 Class AA standings and the Green Dragons (5-2, 2-1) sit third, and a Lewisburg win would throw the HAC-II into chaos — Southern, Lewisburg and Mount Carmel would all have one league loss.

“I think it’s real important (we get tested),” Roth said of his squad, which hasn’t played a full four quarters in the regular season since the second week of the 2013 season. “We need a tough, physical game. We didn’t have a close game last year until we played Old Forge (a 19-14 Blue Devils win in the PIAA playoffs). I don’t think it’s the only reason we lost, but not being chal-lenged in a game before then didn’t help.”

For first-year Lewisburg coach Michael Ferriero, it’s his first chance to take a crack at the Tigers, a team Lewisburg beat in 2010 and lost to by a point in 2011.

“It’s a good challenge to see where we really are at this point in the season,” Ferriero said.

However, like the previ-ous games where Lewisburg was favored to win, Ferriero wants to try to approach Fri-day night as another game on the schedule.

“We are just trying to

make it seem like every other week (this year),” Fer-riero said. “We don’t want to do anything special or get out of our routine or do a lot of special things.

“We want to do our thing and see what happens.”

Southern Columbia will certainly provide a stern test for a Green Dragons defense that has forced a turnover on its opponents’ first pos-session in five consecutive games. It has led to a Lewis-burg lead less than two minutes into each of those games.

“We’ve struggled this year in getting off to good starts and it’s important we do it in this game,” Roth said. “We go into this game as the favorite and the more success we let (Lewisburg) have early in the game, the

more that builds their confi-dence.”

The Lewisburg defense has returned an interception for a touchdown in each of its last four games.

The Tigers will also pro-vide a test for a Lewisburg offense to keep the running game established this week against Southern Colum-bia. Senior halfback Drew Newcomb has 520 yards and

seven scores on the ground, while fullback Logan Aikey chips in with 347 yards and seven scores.

However, this is the fastest defense the Green Dragons have faced.

“We are going to have to have a great day from the offensive line protecting (quarterback Trent) Gower and running the ball,” Fer-riero said

Game Night

By Todd HummelThe Daily Item

MOUNT CARMEL — Week eight of the season is not usually the time to blow things up, but that’s just what Mount Carmel coach Carm DeFrancesco and his staff are doing this week be-fore the Red Tornadoes host Warrior Run in a Heartland Athletic Conference Divi-sion II matchup at the Silver Bowl.

After allowing 108 points in its last two games — losses to Southern Colum-bia and North Schuylkill — Mount Carmel is changing defenses to a 3-5-3 look.

“We think this is a more balanced scheme. It will allow our kids to react, in-stead of thinking,” DeFran-cesco said. “It’ll be easier in the defensive backfield with straight Cover-3 in the back.”

The back-to-basics ap-proach will also apply to the practice field this week as well.

“We’ve got to concentrate on tackling. We are going back to all the drills we would normally do in the preseason,” DeFrancesco said. “We have to get back to basics.”

The Red Tornadoes (4-3 overall, 2-1 HAC-II) made a little better accounting of themselves in their 53-21 loss to unbeaten North Schuylkill on Friday night. They made a couple of goal line stands against the Spartans in the first half and stopped a fourth-and-inches.

“The three teams that we lost to have one loss be-tween them, so it wasn’t that we lost the games, it was how we lost,” DeFrancesco said. “(Our play in the first half) tells the coaching staff that the kids didn’t quit. We just couldn’t match up with their team speed.”

However, there are some positives for the Red Tor-nadoes. If they win their last three games of the sea-son against the Defenders, Central Columbia and rival Shamokin, that should be enough for a District 4 Class AA playoff berth.

“We have a chance now to concentrate on the next three games and we’ll be in a position to wipe the slate clean,” DeFrancesco said.

Warrior Run (2-5, 0-3) is much improved this season thanks to an impressive

showing by its defense. A week before North Penn’s Bo Burleigh beat unde-feated Troy with a 417-yard day and four touchdowns through the air, the De-fenders held him to 2-of-16, no touchdowns and one in-terception in the Panthers’ 24-7 victory.

“We just got beat up by Southern Columbia, but discounting that game, our defense has kept us in ev-ery game,” Warrior Run coach Mark Burrows said. “It’s given us chances to win

games, but we’ve just been struggling offensively.

“I know it’s getting late, but we just seem to shoot ourselves in the foot with a penalty or a turnover.”

DeFrancesco expects the Defenders, despite their re-cord, to come into the Silver Bowl with some confidence.

“I’m sure they’ve watched the film. We’ve given up over 100 points in two weeks,” DeFrancesco said. “They should have some confidence.”

Game Night

By Todd HummelThe Daily Item

WILLIAMSPORT — Take away all the X’s and 0’s and talk about stopping Loyalsock quarterback Kyle Datres or the Lancers’ zone-read play, and Friday night’s Heartland Athletic Conference crossover game between Loyalsock and Shikellamy comes down to one thing.

The Braves’ mental condi-tion when they hit the field on Friday night after blow-ing a 13-0 lead by giving up 27 unanswered points at Kemp Memorial Stadium last week.

“This is going to be a real test of character of this team to see how we respond,” Shikellamy coach Todd Tilford said. “We made too many mental errors for a week seven game, but we have tough kids that will work to improve and com-pete against an outstanding Loyalsock team.”

A week after Shamokin’s Tucker Yost ran for 113 yards and three second-half touchdowns to lead the In-dians’ comeback, the Braves face the top dual-threat quarterback in the district in Datres.

He’s thrown for 712 yards and nine touchdowns. Se-nior Fletcher Quigley aver-ages 25.9 yards per grab and leads Loyalsock with four touchdown catches.

Where the Lancers (5-2) have done the most dam-age to defenses this season is with the zone read. Da-tres leads the team with 990 yards and 14 scores on the ground. Sophomore tail-back Marty Clark has been a revelation with 848 yards and 11 touchdowns.

“In the past, you always had to worry about Datres in scrambling/improvising situations,” Tilford said. “With Clark in the mix, the

defense has to worry about the zone read and the op-tion.”

Loyalsock has improved defensively over the last three weeks, discounting a shutout of Danville in week 3, the Lancers allowed 93 points to Mount Carmel, Central Columbia and South Williamsport. The Lancers have allowed just 33 points in their current three-game win streak.

Despite its mistakes, Shikellamy (4-3) was able to move the ball in the loss to Shamokin. Brett McCreary had 144 yards and a touch-down. He leads the Braves with 552 yards and six touch-downs on the ground.

Junior quarterback Chris-tian Schlegel also bounced back from his worst game

of the year two weeks ago against Central Mountain to complete 10 passes for 124 yards and a touchdown to John Schaeffer. Schlegel has thrown for 872 yards and three touchdowns this season, while the Braves have three receivers in the top 10 in the area in recep-tions.

Halfback Matt Splitt has 20 catches for 211 yards, while Schaeffer averages 19.8 yards per catch on his 18 grabs with two touch-downs. Nick Dunn has 14 catches for 250 yards and two scores. All three of Schlegel’s favorite targets are seniors.

MIFFLINBURG — The most intense catfight tak-ing place in Friday night’s battle between the Mifflin-burg Wildcats and the visit-ing Milton Black Panthers could very well take place at or near the line of scrim-mage.

An inability to throw the ball has made Milton’s of-fensive linemen and backs targets of most opponents’ defensive attention.

“We expect them to load the box and dare us to throw the ball,” Milton coach George Goodwin said in discussing the Heartland Athletic Conference Divi-sion I matchup.

“If we can get our pass-ing game going in any way, shape or form, it will open up the run,” he said.

Milton (1-6 overall, 0-3 HAC-I) may do the same on the other side of the ball, but, if it doesn’t work any better than it did for Cen-tral Mountain last week, it could be a long night for the Black Panthers.

Mifflinburg coach Jason Dressler said teams have tried the same tactic against his offense, which was miss-ing quarterback Jordan Wagner for much of the Jer-sey Shore game and all of the Selinsgrove game, with a concussion.

Last week, with Wagner back, Central Mountain did the same thing. But the Wildcats (2-5, 1-3) were able to overcome the pressure.

“Last week we put it on our offensive linemen when Central Mountain put 10 guys in the box and we established the run-ning game,” Dressler said. “We are looking to do that this week, and utilize our strengths.”

Milton has the potential to run the ball, with three

talented backs in fullback Brandon Stokes and half-backs Juvon Garrison and Logan Bennett.

Dressler said, “We are preparing for the run game, but we are not ignoring the passing game.”

The Mifflinburg coach noted that his team has gone through a gauntlet with its schedule, but the players know they still have something to play for this season.

“We were dealing with in-juries (including the loss of senior wide receiver/safety Brett Luhrman), and the kids have faced a lot of ad-versity,” he said.

“But their attitude, men-tality and effort have been great. They are sticking with it and doing a great job.”

Dressler said there is a lot of confidence and motiva-tion with last week’s win at Central Mountain.

“After the loss to Selins-grove (two weeks ago), we told them that the season isn’t over, there is still an opportunity here,” Dressler said.

Goodwin and his players know they have no play-off hopes, but he said the team wants to finish strong and on a positive note, es-pecially for the handful of seniors.

“They are playing for pride,” Goodwin said.

Dressler said Milton has a few players who were in-volved in last year’s game in which the Black Pan-thers rushed for more than 400 yards, but Mifflinburg scored late to win it.

“They’ve got a little bit of a chip (on their shoulders) and George is a good coach who finds ways to get the ball into the hands of the kids who can make some-thing happen,” Dressler added. “We know they’re going to work on that.”

Game Night

By Harold RakerFor The Daily Item

JERSEY SHORE — When Selinsgrove travels to Jersey Shore for Friday night’s Heartland Athletic Conference Division I game, there will be a champion-ship-game feel in the air at Thompson Street Stadium.

The two teams could very well meet again next month in the District 4 Class AAA playoffs. But that is not what is important now for the head coaches, the Seals’ Dave Hess or the Bulldogs’ Tom Gravish.

For Hess, it is all about winning a HAC-I champi-onship.

“We really want to win a league championship. We haven’t won one in a while (since 2010),” said Hess, whose Seals have lost only to Berwick and are 6-1 over-all, 4-0 HAC-I.

“Our only concern is to get a win this week,” he said.

Gravish, on the other hand, has guided his team to a 7-0 (5-0 HAC-I) record on the heels of last season’s D4 AAA championship.

You wouldn’t know it to hear him talk about his team.

“We have not put much stock in our record. Our only goal is to be 1-0 at the end of each week, and to try to continue to improve each week,” Gravish said. “We have had great senior lead-ership, work ethic and high player expectations all year, and it is a big reason we have won a couple of games.”

Hess knows why the Bull-dogs have won “a couple of games.”

The Selinsgrove coach said, “They are a darned good football team, and if we don’t focus all of our ef-forts on getting a win Friday, we will be in trouble.”

He added, “They are big and strong and athletic. (With their size), they are a

scary looking team.”Hess said the Seals must

be able to first stop the running game, which not only means containing ju-nior tailback Levi Lorson (208 carries, 1,130 yards, 9 touchdowns), but mam-moth junior fullback Bryce Charles.

He said Lorson is a real talent who reminds him of Montoursville’s Keith Batkowski, and the 6-foot, 235-pound Charles is not only a fine running back, but a great lead blocker. He also dominates on defense as the nose guard (40 tack-les, 20 for loss).

“We have seen him dis-mantle some offensive lines on film,” Hess said, noting that the Seals had trouble with him a year ago.

But the Seals also have to keep senior quarterback Lo-gan English under control, along with the likes of tight end Dominic Loffredo.

“English is a mature kid who throws well and

has a cool head. He has been around and he makes things happen for them,” Hess said, “(Wide receiver) Brody Smith and Loffredo can catch the ball well too, and we have to think about those guys.”

Meanwhile, the Bulldogs did not see Selinsgrove run-ning backs Juvon Batts and Zach Adams in their two games last year, which they split.

But Gravish knows who they are. “Juvon Batts and Zach Adams are great play-ers. They never make mis-takes,” Gravish said.

Batts leads the Seals with 822 rushing yards and 11 TDs; Adams has 480 and 12, but also has 12 catches for 201 yards and three scores.

Gravish said, “Selins-grove is always a top-caliber program in the state. They are extremely well coached and it shows on film.”

But Gravish also said he doesn’t believe his team has yet played its best game. “We expect to play better than we did last week in all three phases, offensively, defensively and on special teams.”

Game Night

By Harold RakerFor The Daily Item

MONTOURSVILLE — After dropping games to a pair of juggernauts in Se-linsgrove and Jersey Shore, first-year Shamokin coach Pat DiRienzo said he be-lieved there was no one on the Indians’ schedule the rest of the way that they could not beat.

DiRienzo was certainly not guaranteeing victories. And, despite last week’s win over longtime rival Shikellamy, he knows his players must balance their newfound confidence with a respect for Friday night’s Heartland Athletic Confer-ence Division I opponent, Montoursville.

“They have played teams tough,” DiRienzo said of the Warriors, noting that they lost to unbeaten Jersey Shore in overtime in a con-troversial ending. “They are a very good football team and we’re going in expect-ing a battle.”

Shamokin (4-3 overall, 2-2 HAC-I) is all but assured of a berth in the District 4 Class AAA playoffs, as the Indians are currently tied with Shikellamy for the No. 3 seed. Four teams qualify.

DiRienzo said his players need to guard against over-confidence, knowing that Montoursville lost 35-0 last week to the Seals.

“We haven’t started a game strong this year,” he said. “We were sluggish last week and it showed. We could have easily been down 20-0.”

A Josiah Miller intercep-tion prevented that from happening and the Indi-ans scored 27 unanswered points to win.

He said the Indians did the same thing the previous week in a win at Milton.

“We had to make adjust-ments at halftime and it is

a tribute to the kids and a tribute to my coaches and their hard work,” he said. “The kids responded and they’re learning to win.”

Montoursville (3-4, 2-3) is currently in the eighth and last playoff spot for the D4 Class AA postseason. Get-ting to the playoffs will be

guaranteed if the Warriors can win out.

Montoursville coach J.C. Keefer said, “This is week No. 1 for us. That is the mentality we’re taking. It is a brand new three-game season.

“We want to be 1-0 after this week in order to jump-

start our new season,” he said.

The Warriors certainly have some weapons to get the job done. They are led by workhorse junior half-back Keith Batkowski, who has rushed for 1,219 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Against Jersey Shore, the Indians saw Bulldog run-ning back Levi Lorson carry the ball 49 times. Batkowski gets the ball about 27 times a game.

“He’s the real deal. We’re going to have our hands full. We need to stop him first,” DiRienzo said, noting that sophomore quarterback Brycen Mussina (942 yards, 6 TDs) is also capable of making big plays.

“Kieffer does a good job, they are a well disciplined team,” DiRienzo said.

The Indians’ offense has run through senior quar-terback Tucker Yost, who, after a slow start in the game, rushed for three touchdowns last week ver-sus Shikellamy.

Kieffer said, “I’ve been keeping an eye on this kid for four years. We played them when he was a fresh-man, and he was really good then. We’re really concerned about trying to stop him.”

But he added that, if you focus on Yost, the Indians have others who can hurt you. Halfback John Dem-sko rushed for 101 yards and a TD last week and wide re-ceiver Russ Henz had seven catches for 75 yards.

“(The Indians) are ex-tremely dangerous. Their offense is getting better and better every week, and their defense has been stout all year,” Kieffer said.

Kieffer said his team wants to win the field posi-tion battle and cut down on the turnovers that have hurt them this season, especially in the fourth quarter.

DANVILLE — Danville started the season with an impressive win, while Cen-tral Columbia was sitting at 2-2 three weeks ago and eyeing a playoff spot.

But instead of a matchup of two teams looking to make the playoffs, Friday night’s showdown at Dan-ville between the Blue Jays (2-5) and the Ironmen (1-6) is between two teams look-ing to reverse a negative trend and get some momen-tum going into the final two weeks of the season.

Danville has lost six straight and the young Ironmen are still working on some of the basics while dealing with injuries.

“We are dealing with a lot of injuries right now, just not in key positions, but it seems like every po-sition,” said Danville coach Jim Keiser. “With that be-ing said, we are not a deep football team.”

The one basic skill that has hurt the Ironmen all season has been the abil-ity to bring the other team down to the field.

“We can’t tackle well,” said Keiser. “We have a lot of weaknesses that we con-tinue to work on.

“I just hope we can con-tinue to get better and we have shown that this sea-son, but it has been small steps. The young kids con-tinue to get experience and that will help us improve as a team.”

Danville is coming off a 41-0 shutout at the hands of Lewisburg.

Being manhandled by the Dragons is something the Blue Jays have in com-mon with their opponent. Two weeks ago Central Co-lumbia lost 49-7.

Central’s three-game skid has more to do with who they were playing instead

of how they were playing. The Blue Jays lost to three probable Class AA playoff teams in Southern Colum-bia, Lewisburg and Tow-anda — the latter of whom Central was tied with at the half before falling.

“We have just been mak-ing a lot of mistakes,” said Central coach Jason Hip-penstiel. “The penalties have been killing us.”

The Blue Jays have been very effective on the ground, averaging 266 yards a game behind the hard running of Danny Koch.

Both teams have strug-gled this season holding onto the ball, as they’re av-eraging around two turn-overs a game.

Danville beat Central 34-6 last year.

Cover Story

On second thought ...

By Todd HummelThe Daily Item

SELINSGROVE — Susquehanna freshman John Daku had a pretty successful senior year at Se-linsgrove High both on the football field and as a shot putter for the Seals track and field team.

Good enough in both sports to earn interest on the college level, especially in football as a 6-foot-4, 295-pound two-way line-man.

“We recruited John out of Selinsgrove. He was get-

ting looks from Division II schools and a couple of (FCS) schools,” Susque-hanna football coach Steve Briggs said. “His dad (Jim) works here (on the mainte-nance crew) and John ap-plied early decision and got accepted.”

There was one flaw in Briggs’ plan to get a higher-level recruit on his Division III Crusaders roster: Daku had no plans to play sports in college.

“I didn’t plan on do-ing any sports in college,” Daku, who qualified for the PIAA track and field meet

as the District 4 Class AAA shot put champion, said. “It was an academic concern. I really didn’t think I could juggle school work and foot-ball.”

“I was leaving on a recruit-ing Saturday and I saw his dad on campus and I asked him what’s up,” Briggs said. “He told me he didn’t think John wanted to play in col-lege, so I backed off.”

However, as Daku started the path to his early child-hood education degree — he’d like to become an elementary school teacher — this past August, Briggs

and his coaching staff no-ticed the big kid day after day walking across campus.

“One of the coaches saw this big, gigantic kid walk-ing across campus and men-tioned it,” Briggs said. “I took a chance and called his dad and he told me to call him.”

Daku, also the daughter of Stacy, came to a realiza-tion about that time that maybe he could handle ath-letics and academics.

“When coach Briggs called, I had been in classes for a week and that allevi-ated the problems I had with

handling both,” Daku said.Daku talked to Briggs

on the phone and in the coaches’ office and made the decision to play foot-ball his freshman week into Susquehanna’s preseason workouts.

“His dorm room looks over our practice field and he probably missed it,” Briggs said. “He probably felt he’d come out his sopho-more year, but the opportu-nity to play this season was still there.”

Briggs also had some help getting Daku to play foot-ball again.

Although initally concerned about juggling academics and football in college, Daku decided to join the team and is now the starting nose guard.

“Nick Lopardo happened to be here that day in my office and he did a great re-cruiting job on John,” Briggs said. “The end result is he’s our starting nose guard.”

That doesn’t mean the ad-justment to doing both has been easy for Daku. He still says the toughest thing is juggling his time.

“The biggest adjustment is still the amount of time playing college football takes up,” Daku said. “Be-tween meetings, lifting and practice every day, it’s a lot of time. In high school, it’s practice every day and maybe lift on the weekend.”

The trip to being the Cru-saders starting nose guard halfway through his fresh-man season didn’t come simply, either. Daku be-gan the season at offensive tackle for Susquehanna.

“I had more experience on offense,” Daku said. “I started for two years on of-fense at Selinsgrove and just one year on defense.”

Problems on the defensive side of the ball for the Cru-saders and Daku’s size gave Briggs and his staff the idea to move him to the defen-sive side of the ball.

“We blew a 28-9 lead against Dickinson because frankly, we couldn’t stop the run,” Briggs said. “He’s such a great kid. When we asked him to move, he said what-ever is best for the team.”

“It was a really weird day when they asked. I had prob-ably my best day at practice on the offensive side of the ball,” Daku said. “We’d been allowing a lot of rush-ing yards when they asked me to move and it’s worked out great. Football has been going great.”

So well in fact, Briggs sees a bright future for Daku on the defensive side of the ball.

“He’s a big, strong guy, who’s difficult to block,” Briggs said. “He has the makings of a great one. He’s one of our strongest kids as a freshman.”

Game Night

By Shawn WoodFor The Daily Item

MANDATA — It finally happened.

After weeks of preaching to his team that they needed to play all four quarters, Line Mountain coach Rod-ney Knock got his wish last Friday night.

The Eagles (3-4 , 3-3 TVL) upset Upper Dauphin on the road, 14-7, in a game Knock called a “signature win.”

“It’s the first time all year that we’ve played all four quarters,” he said. “We hadn’t had a big win in a couple of years, even two years ago when we were 8-3, we didn’t have a defining win. (Upper Dauphin was) 4-2 and they’ve been play-ing well.

Knock said that the team realized their potential last week.

“We didn’t turn the ball over that much,” he said. “I told the kids that when we do that, we can play with anybody and we have to keep building off of it.”

Knock said the team played well in all areas of the game last Friday.

The lone score for the Trojans came after they intercepted a pass on the opening play of the game and scored a few plays later.

“Our defensive line re-established the line of scrimmage and it was an all-around team performance and that’s what it takes to win,” Knock said. “We didn’t score in the second half, but our time of posses-sion was near 26 minutes.”

Knock noted that nose tackle Elijah Zablosky was getting great penetration into the backfield through-out the game and that caused Upper Dauphin to botch some snaps.

“I preached all week that we have to start playing like a team if we wanted to have

a chance to play in the post-season,” he added. “The kids came out fired up. We played mistake-free foot-ball, which we hadn’t done in a while and we limited the amount of mistakes we made.”

Sophomore tailback Kenny Boyer rushed for 240 yards on 38 carries against a Trojans defense that is ranked first in the TVL in rushing yards allowed per game.

“We found an identity the last couple of weeks and Kenny’s obviously been a big part of the that,” Knock said.

Friday’s opponent will be St. Joseph’s Catholic Acad-emy. It’s the third time this year the Wolves (1-6) has

faced a team in the TVL. The won their opener at Halifax and lost to Upper Dauphin.

“In reality, our playoffs started a couple of weeks ago at Halifax,” Knock said. “We are two weeks into our playoff season and this is the next step moving forward.

We’ve had some really good practices all week and we are focused on this week, but (we’re looking) at the bigger picture and getting better as the season winds down.”

The Wolves have surren-dered 30 or more points in each of their six losses.

Game Night

By Shawn WoodFor The Daily Item

NEWPORT — It’s a cross-roads game for both Newport and Upper Dau-phin on Friday night.

The Buffaloes (5-2, 4-1 TVL) have won four straight and are in a three-way tie atop the TVL standings while the Trojans (4-3, 3-2 TVL) are trying to put last week’s home loss to Line Mountain behind them.

Newport comes into the game averaging more than 35 points per game, tops in the TVL, but they are giv-ing up almost 300 yards on defense per game.

Newport coach Todd Ro-thermel points back to the game against Steel-High in which they rallied to force overtime — but wound up losing — as a key moment in the 2014 season.

Newport was 1-2 at the

point.“Going to Steel-High

was something I felt was going to be beneficial for us,” Rothermel said. “We were capable of winning the game and that gave us a big shot of confidence in ourselves. That’s when the kids started to believe in themselves.”

During its four-game win streak, Newport has scored 40 or more points in three of those games. Running back Dalton Klinger is av-eraging 8.5 yards per carry for the Buffaloes, who rank second in team rushing in the TVL.

“We can’t give Dalton or any of their backs an inch, because if we do, they’ll take that inch and they’ll be gone,” Upper Dauphin coach Brent Bell said.

The Trojans, who were averaging more than 21 points per game, were held to seven points last week

by Line Mountain. The de-fense, which averages 239.6 yards per game, gave up 240 yards alone to tailback Kenny Boyer.

“We didn’t execute last week early in the game, but we are putting that behind us,” Bell added.

Bell noted that he was pleased with how the kids responded in the second half of the game.

“We’ve been playing well defensively all year, but we need to put points on the board as Newport is scoring a lot of points,” Bell said. “Cole Red has played very solid football. We need him and all of the players these final three weeks to finish out strong.”

Buffaloes quarterback Noah Heimbaugh, a sopho-more, is second in the TVL with 10 touchdown passes. The Buffaloes are second overall in total offense at 365.3 yards per game.

TVL clash is battle of the IndiansBy jacob TannerFor The Daily Item

MILLERSBURG — Un-til two weeks ago, the Ju-niata Indians were heading into this game undefeated. However, when they faced off against the Tri-Valley Bulldogs, that all changed and they suffered their first loss.

This past week, Juniata was able to get back on track against the Mountain Ridge Miners (Md.), finish-ing the game with 50-28 vic-tory. They are now entering Friday’s game 6-1 overall.

The Millersburg Indians, on the other hand, have had a season that seems to be filled with ups and downs. They are entering Friday night’s game with an overall win/loss standing of 3-4 af-ter a loss last week against

Newport. Their last victory was two weeks ago against the East Juniata Tigers in a shutout victory, 31-0. Millersburg has proved in the past that they can close games out and gain the up-per hand.

Brad Hatter, coach of the Millersburg Indians, talked about last week’s loss to Newport.

“We learned last week that we don’t have the big-gest guys when we went up against Newport,” he said. “Still, I was pleased that even though we got down in the second half, we still fought and put some plays in. We were able to do some things in the second half, which was a good sign and I’d like to see that more at the start to carry through the four quarters.”

When asked about Fri-

day’s game, he added, “Ju-niata is a tough opponent. They are well coached and they’ve been having a de-cent season so far. Their first loss was against Tri-Valley two weeks ago. We have our hands full this Friday with a very physical football team and our work is cut out for us.

“They run the same of-fense they’ve been running for years,” Hatter added. “They run it effectively. Even though you know what they’ll do, it’s still a chal-lenge to stop them. They run a lot of misdirection, so we’ll have to play good defense. Offensively, we need to try to match their physicality to try and get a running game going to see what we can get done.”

Game Night

By Chris NagyFor The Daily Item

McALISTERVILLE — At the end of the game last Friday, East Juniata coach Brent Hartman had to call timeout with his team up and with possession of the ball.

Why?Because he needed to go

over the victory formation with his offense.

“We really never covered that,” said Hartman.

The Tigers (1-6) got their first win, 15-14 over Susquenita, and will now look to turning it into a win-ning streak this Friday as Halifax (1-6) comes to Bea-ver Springs for homecom-ing.

“The win over Susquenita was important,” said Hart-man. “Who knows what could have happened if we lost that game and what the next three games would end up looking like”?

Last Friday night also ush-ered in a new mindset and a

new era for East Juniata.The mindset is simple.“We have nothing to lose,”

said Hartman. “And we need to play like that.”

The Tigers showed that against Susquenita. They were 4-for-5 on fourth-down conversions and after tying the game with 1:40 left, East Juniata went for the win.

The game might also come to be known as the coming out party and the beginning of the Chris Schulgen era.

The sophomore quarter-back put the team on his back on the final drive, run-ning and throwing to give the Tigers the much-needed win.

“Schulgen works so hard,” said Hartman. “He gets a lot of flak from me at practice, but he takes it all in.

“He gives us a lot of op-tions at quarterback and is really starting to grow into the position.”

Schulgen has run for 147 yards and passed for 431 yards.

He has David Sprenkle

in the backfield — who has rushed for more than 400 yards — and has a talented group of receivers in Bailey Hetrick, Austin Shellham-mer and Andrew Karch-ner. The screen game has also become a vital part of the offense in the last few weeks, with Mason Ham-bright picking up big yards after the catch.

Halifax comes into the Tri-Valley League game with just one win and, just like the Tigers, it was against Susquenita. The Wildcats have lost two straight since their win, including last week’s 41-14 loss to Tri-Val-ley. Halifax is averaging 214 yards a game and is pretty balanced between the run and the pass.

Sophomore quarterback Mason Erdman has thrown for 431 yards and three touchdowns, but has been intercepted nine times.

Eric Johnston and Jacob Paul each have more than 300 yards rushing.

Teams looking for second win

By Marion ValanoskiFor The Daily Item

HUGHESVILLE — Head coach Mike Kogut re-alizes each time Bloomsburg takes the field regardless of the opponent it’s a playoff mode for the Panthers, who need to win their final three games for any hopes of a postseason playoff berth.

The Panthers (2-5) pro-vided a yeoman’s perfor-mance last week against 6-1 Wellsboro before dropping a 28-24 decision to the Green Hornets and this week’s op-ponent Hughesville is no slouch either entering the matchup with a 4-3 record.

“Hughesville is a much-improved team from last sea-son and the coaching staff

there is doing a great job,” the Panthers coach said. “They are well-balanced and have a very good quar-terback directing the offense and two solid running backs, who have combined to score 16 touchdowns. On offense they present you with a va-riety of looks to prepare for defensively, and on the other side of the ball, their defense is very physical and swarms to the ball.”

Quarterback Logan Henry directs the Spar-tans’ offensive attack. He has completed 56-of-101-passes for 1,007 yards and 10 touchdowns, while chipping in with 155 yards and three scores on the ground. Nick Yeager is part of the one-two scoring punch in the

backfield with 586 yards on the ground and eight TDs, while Clint Snyder has ac-counted for 322 rushing and eight TDs.

Sean Poust is the team’s leading receiver with 21 catches for 467 yards and five touchdowns and Trey Smith has contributed 11 receptions for 220 and four scores. Defensively, Chris-tian Fish leads the team in tackles with 62 followed by Alex Welch’s 39 and Duff’s 36 while Snyder has inter-cepted two passes.

“They have shown a four-man front on defense and have played a 3-3,” Kogut said. “We have to be pre-pared for their aggressive-ness.

UNIVERSITY PARK — The Penn State players who emerged from the visiting locker room at Michigan Stadium on Saturday did so with mostly blank expres-sions on their faces.

Some appeared stunned, unable to accept their performance in a lacklus-ter second-half that saw the Wolverines shut out the Nittany Lions (4-2, 1-2 Big Ten) in the second half despite scoring just eight points of their own, two of which came on a sacrifice safety in the final minutes.

The fact that the loss came after the team’s first bye week in which players had a handful of days to rest up and put in some extra preparation didn’t make the loss any harder to swallow.

“A loss is a loss,” kicker Sam Ficken said. “It sucks either way.”

Running back Bill Belton, usually one of Penn State’s more fiery interviews, was visibly frustrated following the team’s second-straight conference loss. He often glanced down and spoke in a monotone afterward.

“It is tough when you take two in a row,” Belton said.

But the positive air has not been completely sucked out of Penn State’s season.

Coach James Franklin, a self-described optimist, said he sensed on Sunday his players were upset over the loss at The Big House. And the schedule mak-ers have provided Penn State players with a perfect rebound chance — a game at Beaver Stadium against No. 13 Ohio State (4-1, 1-0 Big Ten). They’ll just have to wait an extra week for what Franklin described as a great opportunity to play a ranked team.

“I don’t think there’s any doubt when you have back-to-back losses that there’s an emotional effect from that,” Franklin said. “But we’re 4-2 right now. I think at this same point last year we were 4-2. A lot of teams in the country would love to be in that position right now. We have challenges and things we need to get better at, but I think the coaches and players are as optimistic and as positive about this season and our future as we’ve ever been.”

The immediate future includes another off week. Penn State is idle again on Saturday while Ohio State hosts Rutgers (5-1, 1-1 Big Ten).

For Penn State, the off week will be utilized in sim-ilar fashion as two weeks ago. Franklin gave his start-ers and most of his veteran players most of the last bye week off. Coaches took advantage of the extra time

over the end of the week and weekend to hit the road recruiting. It appears this will be the plan again.

“Looking forward to getting out with the guys, get some things corrected,” Franklin said. “Take some time off in terms of the banging and the running that we’re having on our team as well. Going back and we’re finding some things and looking at some of the things that we need to be focusing on more. It’s coming at a good time for us and our coaches are excited about it, we’ll get on the road recruiting as well.”

Franklin said improve-ments must be made across the board in all areas. Spe-cifically, Penn State needs to improve its running game on offense and do a better job of keeping quarterback Christian Hackenberg upright. Hackenberg has already taken 20 sacks this season.

“We’ve got to play faster. We’re not playing as fast as we need to right now,” Franklin said. “Aggres-sively, that’s really in all three phases. I think special teams and offense is prob-ably what everybody’s focused on, but I think in all three phases we can play faster and more aggressive.”

Penn State players, who were not being made avail-able to reporters this week, know they still have an opportunity to compete for the Big Ten championship even if they’ll need a little

help.Currently in sixth place

in the East Division, Penn State can help its own cause by beating the Buckeyes in two weeks. They also still have Michigan State (5-1, 2-0) and Maryland (4-2, 1-1) to play. Both teams sit ahead of Penn State in the race for the East Division title. Both of those games will be at Beaver Stadium.

“We’ve just got to get back on track,” Belton said. “We’re still in control of our season.”

By Harold RakerFor The Daily Item

BETHLEHEM — When your team is on a roll, and healthy, the last thing you want as a coach is a week off.

When you are winless and battling injuries, a break could be just what the doc-tor ordered.

Susquehanna University heads back into Centen-nial Conference action this week with a trip to rival Moravian College after the conference-wide bye week.

“The week off was out-standing,” SU coach Steve Briggs said. “It gave us a chance to heal a few guys up and we got away from it a little bit. We were all frus-trated.”

He said everyone is play-ing hard, but the team’s problem has been that it is not making plays in the fourth quarter.

“We gave Muhlenberg two scores and you can’t do that to anybody, let alone a nationally ranked team,” he said of the Crusaders’ 24-20 loss in their previous out-ing.

“But that’s what we’ve been missing. There are no excuses. We’ve got to play better at critical times and that’s what we are focused on in practice.”

He said the team has been working on improving their efficiency in pressure situa-tions.

It won’t be easy against the Greyhounds (3-2 over-all, 2-2 CC).

“It’s a very good team and I think there is a toughness factor with Moravian that we haven’t seen the first few weeks,” Briggs said. “They are like us — a blue-collar team — and the rest of the conference isn’t like that. It’s a different style of football.”

Both the Crusaders and Greyhounds are former MAC members.

He said the key for the Crusaders will be to play well up front on both sides of the ball, the areas where they are the youngest.

“We are starting a couple of freshmen on both sides of the ball. We are at the stage this year where (the Grey-hounds) were last season. But a lot of those freshmen (from last year) have grown up and are playing much better,” he said.

The Greyhounds’ losses have come to the confer-ence’s top teams — Johns Hopkins and Ursinus.

“We’ve got to tackle well and we’ve got to execute

and make plays on offense,” Briggs said.

He said the atmosphere could work against his young team, and that’s something they have to work to over-come.

“It’s always a big party atmosphere at their home-coming and we have to feed off that energy and not use it as a negative,” Briggs said.

The Crusaders (0-5, 0-4) are young, but there is a lot of talent among the fresh-man class, including quar-terback Nick Crusco.

Crusco has made his share of rookie mistakes. He is second in the con-

ference in interceptions with six (Moravian’s Mike Hayes, a sophomore, leads with seven). But he is also among the conference lead-ers in passing, completing 86 of 152 for 992 yards and nine TDs.

Junior tailback Tim Wade is averaging nearly 100 yards per game and senior wide receiver Denzel Walker is tops in most receiving cat-egories, including receiving yards (419) and touchdowns (five).

Junior linebacker Jim Barry leads the conference with 67 tackles and 49 so-los.

KUTZTOWN — Blooms-burg sent its alumni and stu-dents home with a victory last week on Bloomsburg’s Homecoming Weekend and the Huskies will try to add a second straight Homecom-ing victory this weekend as Kutztown will celebrate theirs.

The Huskies have stayed put in the two major Divi-sion II polls, ranking 12th in the American Football Coaches Association poll and the D2football.com poll, taking a 6-0 record to Kutztown.

Kutztown comes in at 3-3, winning two of their last three games.

Bloomsburg’s defense has allowed a single touchdown over the past two games, giv-ing up one score to Cheyney before shutting out Millers-

ville. This week, the Huskies

will face Kutztown quarter-back Chad Barton, a first-year starter who has fired the ball around the field while also taking care of the football.

Barton has thrown for 18 touchdowns while only tossing three interceptions, attempting 64 passes in a game against Slippery Rock earlier this season.

The Golden Bears have been able to capitalize on turnovers this season, scor-ing 94 points off of turn-overs in their six games.

But the Huskies’ defense has been able to force turn-overs, picking off 10 passes in six games this year with Donovan Morris leading the way with three intercep-tions.

Shikellamy High graduate Garrett Pope wrapped his

hands around a Millersville pass last week, giving the redshirt-junior has first ca-reer interception to go with a career-high eight tackles in the win over the Maraud-ers.

Pope is tied for second on the team with Morris with 30 tackles, behind one of top defensive players statis-tically in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference, Bloomsburg senior middle linebacker Justin Shirk.

Shirk has taken running backs down in the backfield when he isn’t busy sacking the opposing quarterback for a loss. Shirk is second in the conference in tackles for loss and sacks.

While Shirk is wreaking havoc on the defensive side of the ball, the Huskies will try to give Tim Kelly time to deliver an accurate ball.

Kelly has completed 56

percent of his passes, giving opponents another option to plan for besides Blooms-burg’s stable of running backs.

Eddie Mateo has contin-ued to carve out a strong se-nior season in the backfield for the Huskies, as he’s on pace for a 1,000-yard season while leading the PSAC with 14 touchdowns. Mateo’s 517 yards lead the team, with Dai’Shon Munger pass-ing the 300-yard mark last week.

The Bloomsburg offense will go against a Kutztown defense allowing 311 yards per game and just a shade under 20 points per game.

The Bears will rename their stadium in honor of NFL Hall of Famer Andre Reed, a Kutztown alum, who starred for the Bears from 1982-84 before a 16-year NFL career.

Game Night

By John N. MitchellThe Philadelphia Inquirer

Temple’s hot start has some people talking about potential bowl bids. Those voices, however, can’t be heard at the Owls’ practice facility at 10th and Dia-mond streets.

The Owls (4-1, 2-0 Amer-ican Athletic Conference) are staying focused as they prepare to visit Houston (3-3, 1-1) on Friday night.

Temple has been 4-1 in football just five times since 1971. It occurred most re-cently in 2010, when present coach Matt Rhule was the team’s offensive coordina-tor. The Owls finished the season 8-4 but did not re-ceive a bowl invitation.

“That was a sad moment for me,” said Rhule, who added that he has not used the bowl snub to motivate the Owls. “They know that Houston beat us last year. But we’re 4-1 because of the process. And if we want to be 5-1, we’ve got to continue sticking with the process and doing a little extra.”

Temple’s four wins have come against teams with a combined record of 6-20.

Sophomore quarterback P.J. Walker said he’s not concerned about what critics say about the level of com-petition Temple has faced. He added that the Owls, who started last season 0-6, will not grow complacent.

“Coach Rhule makes it hard to be complacent,” said Walker, who passed for 294 yards Saturday in a 35-24 win over Tulsa. “He makes us work our tails off every day, to be honest. We prac-tice every day like we’re 0-5. I’m sure nothing is going to change.”

Houston represents the beginning of the meaty por-tion of Temple’s schedule. It’s the first of two road

games in a row — the Owls will travel to Central Flor-ida (3-2) the next week. On Nov. 1, conference leader East Carolina (5-1) will visit Lincoln Financial Field.

The Cougars made a switch at quarterback last week in a come-from-be-hind 28-24 victory at Mem-phis, replacing 2013 AAC

rookie of the year John O’Korn with sophomore Greg Ward Jr.

A dual-threat quarterback who will be making just the second start of his career, Ward led the Cougars with 95 rushing yards — includ-ing a 64-yard scamper for a touchdown — and com-pleted 17 of 28 passes for

188 yards with a touchdown and an interception.

The Cougars field an op-portunistic defense that could spell trouble for Tem-ple. After leading the nation last year with a plus-25 turn-over margin, Houston ranks second nationally and leads the AAC with 19 turnovers forced through six games.

However, that defense will be without arguably its best player. Senior linebacker Derrick Mathews’ season came to an end when he suf-fered a torn ligament in his left knee against Memphis. Mathews is the active leader in career tackles (400) in the Football Bowl Subdivision.
