MILTON — Although both Mifflinburg and Mil-ton are coming into Friday’s game off contrasting per-formances last week, both are in similar situations as things have not gone as planned for either team this year. With both teams likely out of the playoff picture, both the Wildcats and Black Panthers are focused on continued improvement and playing for pride.

“At this point, it’s cer-tainly a pride thing. We didn’t start the year the way we wanted, but we’d like to end the string on a good note and do that one week at a time,” said Mifflinburg coach Jason Dressler. “Our kids just want to continue getting on the field and be-ing competitive and playing with pride.”

The Wildcats seemingly took out six games worth of frustration on Central Mountain last week, as they pasted the Wildcats from Clinton County 52-35. Mif-flinburg got two touchdowns on special teams returns and also added a defensive score. Perhaps most importantly, it didn’t turn the ball over for the first time all season after giving it away 23 times in its first six games.

“We were clicking offen-sively, we had a good run/pass balance, special teams chimed in on several plays and our defense came up with a score,” said Dressler. “We took care of the ball and made better decisions than we did the first six weeks. We need to continue to get the ball out to our big-play guys and let them make plays and that’s what we did last week.”

Those two big-play threats, Tristan Martin and Brian Zimmerman, each

had kickoff returns for touchdowns, with Martin adding a fumble return for a score and Zimmerman a receiving touchdown. Not surprisingly, Milton coach George Goodwin knows his team’s key to breaking a three-game losing streak is stopping Mifflinburg’s ath-letic duo.

“We can’t kick it to Zim-merman or Martin, we can’t kick it to them by any means,” said Goodwin. “We must keep it out of their hands in all facets, on spe-cial teams and offense. This game could come down to special teams.”

Goodwin’s Black Pan-thers are coming off a lop-sided loss to Jersey Shore, one that effectively ended any slim playoff hopes for Milton, though they still are not mathematically elimi-

nated. But he still feels his team should not have any problem coming out ready for this one, even though the playoffs are the furthest thing from his mind at this point.

“Our kids know they’ve run into some very good football teams over the last couple of weeks,” said Goodwin. “I think our kids feel like they have a shot at

this one. They know we’ll have to stop their skill kids defensively and we must move the ball offensively. Our best defense is going to be our offense staying on the field.

“We’re just trying to go one play, one series and one game at a time. We’re not worried about playoff points by any means.”

SELINSGROVE — One game for the Heartland Athletic Conference Divi-sion I title.

That’s what’s on the line on Friday night at Harold L. Bolig Memorial Field, as undefeated Selinsgrove faces off against one-loss Jersey Shore for the third time in 12 months.

A Seals (7-0 overall, 4-0 HAC-I) victory clinches at least a tie for the title with one game left next week against Milton. A Bulldogs victory would throw the league into chaos, with each of the top three teams — Se-linsgrove, Jersey Shore and Montoursville — holding a win over the other.

The Bulldogs won the first meeting at Thompson Street Stadium last season to claim the league title be-fore Selinsgrove earned a measure of revenge with 6-2 win in the District 4 Class

AAA championship game.The Seals expect to see

some similarities to last week’s overtime win over Montoursville, which fea-tured 1,000-yard tailback Keith Batkowski and a big battering-ram fullback in Ben Cerney.

Those roles are played by seniors Levi Lorson and Bryce Charles for the Bull-dogs.

Lorson has carried the ball 216 times for 1,368 yards and 14 touchdowns this season, including a school-record 276 yards and five scores last week against Milton.

“Montoursville was really good preparation for Jersey Shore. What we saw last Fri-day night is what we will see this Friday night,” Selins-grove coach Derek Hicks said. “It will be a real good tailback with a big fullback, and they are going to pound the ball right us.”

The Bulldogs don’t throw

the ball a ton, but first-year starter Travis Bradley has a strong arm and Jersey Shore is averaging 12.7 yards per completion. Senior receiver Todd Sanford has a team-high six touchdown grabs and has at least one in each game this year except for the Bulldogs’ loss to Mon-toursville back on Sept. 25.

Jersey Shore also has an outstanding defense once again this year, though maybe not on the level of last year’s unit that had two all-state selections.

Bradley has returned two interceptions for a touch-down this season as a safety, while Lorson leads the team with 39 tackles.

“Jersey Shore can be very opportunistic and can break open a game with its de-fense,” Hicks said.

If there has been an issue for the Seals this season, it has been mistakes. The Seals felt instead of a 13-3 halftime lead, they could have had a 17- or 20-point lead at the half against the Warriors. Instead, they needed overtime to pull out the win.

“We talked to the team about our mistakes,” Hicks said. “We had some stupid penalties and a fumble on the 10 in the first half that can’t keep happening. If it happens again Friday, we’ll be up against it.”

COAL TOWNSHIP — For the Chinese, this is the year of the goat, but for Shamokin football coach Pat DiRienzo, it might as well be the year of the running back.

Having already faced the likes of Selinsgrove’s Juvon Batts, Jersey Shore’s Levi Lor-son and the bevy of talented chain-movers from Southern Columbia, the Indians are tasked Friday night with stop-ping Montoursville’s Keith Batkowski.

“There is just a fleet of good running backs in the league this year and it doesn’t seem to get any easier,” DiRienzo said this week as he prepared the Indians for the Heartland Athletic Conference Division I contest.

Although his team is just 2-5, DiRienzo said, “We are far from dead.”

After a loss at Shikellamy last week, Shamokin (1-3 HAC-I) dropped into a fifth-place tie with East Juniata in the District 4 Class AAA point standings (the top four teams qualify for the playoffs).

But, DiRienzo said, “We have to win two out of three, and then we should be able to get that fourth spot.”

After Montoursville (5-2, 4-1), the Indians finish with Mifflinburg and Mount Car-mel.

DiRienzo is counting on his team being focused and moti-vated because “they know we have something to play for.”

DiRienzo added, “We have a playoff position to play for. It’s not like we’re just going through the motions. We will play our schedule out, and we’re not giving up.”

Montoursville is coming off its second loss of the season, a heartbreaking overtime set-back to unbeaten Selinsgrove. Nevertheless, the Indians will be decided underdogs Friday.

But, DiRienzo said, “I’ve seen stranger things happen.

They could be looking past us, we could play the game of our lives, you never know. High school sports is a funny game.”

However, opposing defenses find nothing funny about stop-ping a Warriors offense that features record-breaking se-nior tailback Batkowski.

The 5-foot-9, 160-pound speedster has run for 1,247 yards this season, averaging 7.8 per carry with 13 touchdowns. Last week, he became the school’s all-time career rushing leader with 3,731 (and 38 TDs), passing Cody Haupt (3,603).

Batkowski is complemented by senior 5-11, 240-pound fullback Ben Cerney, who has more than 400 yards and seven TDs, and averages 7.6 yards a pop.

DiRienzo said, “We have to

tackle. We didn’t tackle this past week. It was one of our worst performances in tack-ling, in a game that was win-nable,” he said.

“They’re athletic. They have Batkowski, they have (Brycen) Mussina at quarterback, Cer-ney at fullback,” DiRienzo said. “We are certainly going to have our hands full. We’re going to practice fundamen-tals this week and come out and give it our best shot.”

Yet Shamokin is not without its own great running back, and Montoursville coach J.C. Keefer is aware of senior Pres-ton Burns.

Echoing his Shamokin counterpart, Keefer said, “It seems like we’re facing a top caliber back every single week. Preston can take it to the house anytime he touches

it. He’s very quick and tough to tackle.”

DiRienzo said that you never know how a team will react after an overtime loss.

“You don’t know. They’re high school kids, like our kids. We’ll be ready, we’ll have a game plan, and then we just have to execute it.”

For his part, Keefer believes his defending District 4 Class AA champions will be fine, despite the loss.

“We have some mentally tough young men,” he said.

But Keefer said they will need to be tough because Shamokin, despite its record, is a formidable opponent.

“They have a very tal-ented team and are very well coached. We know we need to play our best to have an oppor-tunity to win,” Keefer said.

ALMEDIA — What a difference a year makes for the Danville Ironmen foot-ball team.

A year after a one-win season, the Ironmen won their biggest game in two seasons, downing Lewis-burg 34-13 last week.

That puts Danville in the thick of the District 4 Class AA playoff race with three games remaining, all of which should feature the Ironmen as favorites.

So that puts coach Jim Keiser in the position of having a young team that can’t afford to look ahead when Danville travels to face Central Columbia at 7 p.m. Friday in a Heartland Athletic Conference Divi-sion II contest.

Luckily for Keiser, some of his seniors were around two seasons ago when the Ironmen went to the district championship game.

“The seniors have been in this position before and they’ve really helped the younger guys keep perspec-tive,” Keiser said. “These young kids haven’t seen any playoffs at all. We still have to win some big ball games.”

One of the reasons the Ironmen (4-3 overall, 1-2 HAC-II) have been success-ful again this season can be traced to their defense.

They forced six turnovers against the Green Dragons, including returning of their three picks for a touch-down.

Danville has forced 25 turnovers, led by its second-ary, which has 17 intercep-tions. Senior Matt Meloy, who set the school record with his 12th career inter-ception against the Green Dragons, leads the team with six picks. The Riley brothers — senior Colton

and freshman Peyton, each have three interceptions.

It’s been the young-sters who have helped turn around the defense as well. Of the top seven tacklers for the Ironmen, five are either freshmen or sophomores.

The last two wins have been a big confidence boost for an Ironmen team that was coming off allowing a school-record 368 yards to Mount Carmel’s Kyle Kary-cki in a 20-10 loss.

“We’ve got some con-fidence rolling forward. I thought we played our best game of the year against Wyalusing two weeks ago, but we let down in the sec-ond half (the Ironmen led 42-7 at the break),” Keiser said. “The Lewisburg game was really the first game we put four quarters together. After we thought we let the Mount Carmel game get away, it’s been a huge confi-dence boost.”

The Ironmen will be fac-ing another confident team. The Blue Jays (1-6, 0-3) led Lewisburg at the half two weeks ago before losing, then went on the road and beat Towanda 16-14 last week for their first win of the season.

Blue Jays coach Jason Hippenstiel returned to the sideline last week after miss-ing the Lewisburg game and his defense worries Keiser.

“Jason always seems to come up with something to shut us down (on offense),” Keiser said. “We have to come up with something.”

The Danville offense has been led by junior Trent Hilkert (835 yards, 9 TDs), but a big factor the last two weeks has been the emer-gence of sophomore Ryan Palm at halfback. Palm had 77 yards against Wyalusing and his first career 100-yard game against the Green Dragons (118 yards, TD).

TURBOTVILLE — Three weeks ago, Mount Carmel was coming off a huge win against Danville, had a three-game winning streak, and was in solid posi-tion to contend for the divi-sion along with a spot in the district playoffs. Further-more, the offense looked to be on fire behind the legs of tailback Kyle Karycki.

What a difference two weeks make.

Mount Carmel heads north Friday reeling and looking to turn around the ship against Warrior Run, which is also looking to get momentum back on its side.

“We have been through a lot as a team,” said Mount Carmel coach John Darrah. “We have faced adversity all season and the kids have handled it.”

The Red Tornadoes (3-4) have been blanked 83-0 in the past two weeks against Southern Columbia and North Schuylkill, and the run game has ground to a halt.

Mount Carmel is also fac-ing some injuries as fresh-man quarterback John Ay-ers has been limited, with sophomore Tommy McDon-ald filling in for him.

Kraycki rushed for a school-record 368 yards against Danville and looked to be the answer because of the injury at quarterback, but in the past two weeks he has gained just 65 yards.

And it doesn’t get easier for him and the Red Tornadoes rushing attack this week.

Warrior Run (3-4) has gotten very good against the run as of late, and despite giving up 290 yards against powerhouse Southern Co-lumbia on the ground, the Defenders’ front seven have been an immovable object.

“Our defense is playing

very well,” said Warrior Run coach Mark Burrows. “They have really answered the call and have done every-thing they can to keep us in games.

“The defensive line has been outstanding.”

It has been the play of Pacey Howard, Zach Div-ers, Ty Nicholas and Matt Truckenmiller that has held high-powered offenses in Hughesville and North Penn at bay. And after the first three weeks, they have done

a solid job against the feature back of each team. Throw in the play of a healthy Noah Showers at linebacker, and the Warrior Run defense looks to be up to the chal-lenge of facing Karycki and the Mount Carmel shotgun-wing offense.

“We just need to come and play football,” said Burrows. “The kids will be ready.

“They just have to perform when the lights come on.”

And so does the offense.Running back Tyler

Brown has become the fea-ture back for Warrior Run, and sophomore quarterback Gage Anzulavich continues to improve and might be able to find Truckenmiller in the injury-depleted Mount Car-mel secondary.

The game just might come down to turnovers. Mount Carmel been plus-7 on turn-overs this year, while War-rior Run has been minus-3.

“We have to limit the mis-takes and the big plays,” said Burrows.

BOALSBURG — Line Mountain High School will attempt to extend its win-ning streak to three Friday night when the Eagles step out of the Tri-Valley League to take on St. Joseph’s Cath-olic Academy in a nonleague matchup.

The Eagles improved to 2-4 last week after a pulsat-ing 20-14 triumph over back-yard rival Upper Dauphin, while the Wolves dropped to 1-6 after losing to Chest-nut Ridge, 43-0.

Against the Trojans, Line Mountain, which trailed at one point in the contest, 14-0, tied the score with 14 points in the third quarter and the secured the victory with a touchdown in the fi-nal 12 minutes of play to stun Upper Dauphin, which had come into the game with three wins as opposed to the Eagles’ one.

Junior Brent Osman was the offensive catalyst for the winners with 29 car-ries for 109 yards and one touchdown, while quarter-back Kurt Mace chipped in with 34 yards and one score and freshman Breven Derk added seven rushes for 32 yards and one touchdown.

Derk also had one reception for six yards.

Defensively, the Eagles, despite allowing quarter-back Aaron Cleveland to gain 96 yards on 20 carries, managed to limit Drake Lenker to 11 yards on six rushes and freshman stand-out Mason Wiest to just 12 yards.

St. Joseph’s relies on quar-terback Mikey Kresovich for the bulk of its offensive output, and when he puts the ball in the air his favor-ite targets are Charlie Ross and wide receiver Adam Watkeys. The Wolves like to spread an opponent’s de-fense out and do not rely on one particular running back,

but will attack an opponent with a variety of short passes and bubble screens.

Defensively, the Eagles can expect an aggressive corps of linebackers coming out of a 6-2 set or 3-3 stack.

The Eagles beat the Wolves in their initial meet-ing last season, 42-12.

SUNBURY — When Shikellamy started the season 0-3, the Braves and coach Todd Tilford didn’t panic.

And after they split the next two, Shikellamy looked on the final five games as a new season.

That way of thinking in the always-open District 4 Class AAA playoff race has served the Braves (3-4) well, as they have rolled off two straight wins and have put themselves solidly in the No. 3 spot in the district rankings.

“We keep telling the kids to keep working hard and plugging away and good things will start to happen,” said Tilford. “It feels good for us to get on a roll.

“We are starting to get healthy and I think we are finding our groove.”

And that is a good thing as the Braves host Heart-land Athletic Conference Division III front-runner and undefeated Loyalsock on Friday night.

But as the Braves are get-ting healthy, the Lancers (7-0) have been hit with the injury bug as they fight their way through a tough schedule.

“We have been hit by inju-ries,” said Loyalsock coach Justin VanFleet. “But the kids are used to it and will continue to work through them.

“Adversity is nothing new to this bunch.”

Shikellamy’s offense has shown a lot of signs of life as Christian Schlegel fi-nally looks comfortable un-der center.

The senior has thrown for 700 yards this season and has spread the ball around, with four receivers having more than 100 yards.

But the key to the Braves

offense has been a healthy Shawn Turber.

The multi-threat running back had 185 yards of total offense last week against Shamokin and has more than 800 yards of total of-fense this season. Turber is the leading rusher and receiver for the Braves and also is a key member of the Braves secondary.

Gabe Tilford has become a solid option in the running game and has more than 300 yards on the ground.

As for the Lancers, they come into Friday’s game after a hard-fought 14-0 win over Hughesville that put Loyalsock in control of HAC-III.

Loyalsock junior running back Marty Clark, who has more than 1,300 yards rush-ing this season, left that

game with an injury but did return.

The Lancers have been surprised with the play of freshman quarterback Con-nor Watkins, who replaced starter Marcus Williams in Week 1 and has given Loyalsock an added dimen-sion.

“Connor can throw the ball like no one else,” said

VanFleet. “He doesn’t give us the running dimension that Marcus did, but he can throw the ball and we have used it to our advantage,”

Watkins has thrown for almost 900 yards and his best threat has been Nate Krizan, who has more than 300 yards receiving and is a deep threat.

Cover Story

Welcome back

By Todd HummelThe Daily Item

SELINSGROVE — Ju-von Batts’ talent on the football field is unmatched, but maybe the most un-derrated talent the senior tailback possesses — ace recruiter.

Fellow senior Jacob Strickler didn’t come out

for football for two seasons, so Batts spent last winter working on Strickler to come back out for football for this, his senior season.

“Actually, Juvon made me come out for football,” the 6-foot-3, 255-pound senior joked. “He kept nagging me about it.”

“He’s a big kid. He was always good, he just stopped

playing, Batts said. “I kept telling him to come back out. He was really good in junior high. We’re really happy to have him back.”

Head coach and defensive coordinator Derek Hicks certainly wasn’t going to turn down a player with the size and athletic ability of Strickler.

“When I took over as

head coach and I did the sign-ups, he came and said he was interested in play-ing,” Hicks said. “He’s been really dedicated since he came back out. He had a great spring session and re-ally hit the weights.

“From what we saw when he was a freshman, we thought he could be really good.”

Strickler burst on the scene in the second game of the season from his defen-sive tackle position. He had 14 tackles against Mount Carmel, including three for a loss and a fumble recov-ery.

For the season, Strickler is tied for second on the team with 50 tackles and leads the team with three sacks.

Cover StoryMaybe the biggest surprise for the Seals and Hicks is Strickler has been the starting left tackle since the first game of the season.

“It was a pleasant surprise that he was able to step in at left tackle on the offensive line,” Hicks said. “He’s become a key two-way player for us.”

One help for Strickler on the offensive end was the fact that the Seals were changing their offensive system. He was learn-ing right along with his team-mates what line coach Pete Voss and offensive coordinator Derek Pope were expecting out of the offensive line.

“I would say it helped that it was new for everybody,” Strickler said. “With all of us studying to-gether and working on (the new offense) together, it really helped me visualize what I needed to do.”

Strickler has been one of the key cogs on a Seals offense that is averaging 225 yards and six yards per carry on the ground.

Strickler decided to not play football after his freshman sea-son so he could concentrate on his grades.

“I just kind of lost my love for the game,” Strickler said. “I had to concentrate on my grades.”

He was never far away from the program, though.

“I was still at the games sup-porting my friends,” Strickler said.

But with Batts’ prodding, he began to reconsider his decision to give up on football.

“I missed playing (football) and I missed playing with the guys,” Strickler said.

But if he was going to go back to play football, he was going to jump in with both feet.

“It was my senior year, if I was going to play, my parents said I had to be committed to it,” Strickler said. “They’d make sure I was safe and healthy.

“(My parents) were all for it.”Strickler also said his grades

being up to par also played a big role in coming back.

“I feel like I have more control over my grades,” Strickler said. “I’m much better at time man-agement now.”

Strickler, the son of Mike and Susan Strickler, also plays bas-ketball and throws for the Seals track and field team.

LEWISBURG — Things haven’t been going well in Lewisburg.

The Green Dragons needed a second-half rally to beat heretofore winless Central Columbia and then turned the ball over six times in a loss to Danville last week.

Still sitting at 5-2 and in the No. 4 spot in the District 4 Class AA points race, the Green Dragons just need to get on roll to keep their hopes of a home playoff game alive.

Except therein lies the trouble — Lewisburg hosts undefeated Southern Co-lumbia tonight at 7:30. in a Heartland Athletic Confer-ence Division II showdown.

“We need to get the inten-sity back we had the week of the Montoursville game,” Lewisburg coach Michael Ferriero said. “We haven’t had that swagger since the Mount Carmel game (Lewisburg’s first loss of the season).

“We’ve had some inter-ventions to try to get the kids back on that page.”

The biggest issue for Lewisburg (1-2 HAC-II) has been turnovers. Quar-terback Trent Gower, who leads the area in passing yards (1,190) and touchdown passes (20), has thrown six interceptions over the last two games.

“It’s a little concerning. He’s just forcing things right now. At the beginning of the season, he was taking what the defensive gave him,” Fer-riero said. “When you have a guy like Noah (Inch), who can take a five-yard hitch and turn it into a 60-yard TD, you just have to take what the defense gives you.”

The Lewisburg offense certainly can’t afford mis-takes this week.

“We are not only playing one of the top teams in the district, but in the state,” Ferriero said. “They won’t make mistakes and beat themselves, so we can’t af-ford any mistakes.”

For the Tigers (5-0 HAC-II), a win clinches the HAC-II title.

Southern Columbia has yet to be challenged this season. The Tigers have scored at least 40 points in every game this year.

Senior quarterback Nick Becker is rounding into form, throwing four touch-down passes last week against Warrior Run.

Of course, the Tigers running game needs no in-troductions. Southern Co-lumbia has already rushed for more than 2,000 yards

as a team, with halfbacks Hunter Thomas and Blake Marks both over 12 yards per carry. As a squad, the Tigers average 9.1 yards per carry.

That’s not a good sign for a Lewisburg team that has struggled stopping the run all season, allowing 5.3 yards per carry.

Ferriero didn’t think the short week would play much of a role either.

“We were able to get some work done on Saturday and Monday,” Ferriero said. “The preparation as been the same. The strangest part will be playing Thursday, then having to go to school the next day.”

ELIZABETHVILLE — After three wins in a row, Upper Dauphin shifted its drive for a District 3 Class A playoff berth into high gear.

But, after roaring to a 14-0 halftime lead at Line Moun-tain last week, the Trojans soon found themselves down a cylinder.

Line Mountain rallied for a 20-14 Tri-Valley League win. Now, the Trojans (3-4 overall, 2-4 TVL) need to a win Friday night or they may be eliminated from the chase.

The good news is that this week’s opponent, Newport, is worth a lot of booty in the points department. The bad news: the Buffaloes (6-1, 5-0) average a hair above 45 points a game, including 85 against TVL power Juniata. In addition to its wins, New-port, by virtue of its coopera-tive agreement with Green-wood, is a Class AA team.

Upper Dauphin coach Brent Bell’s offense was forced to throw a lot more passes than planned last

week against the Eagles, but senior quarterback Aaron Cleveland made some big plays with both his legs and his arm.

Against the Buffaloes, al-though he would still prefer to be able to establish the run, Bell said, “We’re go-ing to take it one play at a time, one drive at a time. We talked to the kids about not looking behind us or ahead of us and focus on the drive we’re on.”

He said, “We have to make the best out of that drive, try to get the ball moved and try to get a scoring opportu-nity.”

But Cleveland could play a key role again.

“He did some things and helped keep us in the game at times, made some moves with his legs to get out of the pocket and make plays and that’s probably when he’s most dangerous. He gets out of the pocket and gets room where he can do a lot of things athletically,” Bell said.

The Buffaloes, while put-ting up tons of points, have also given up their share

(double digits five times, in-cluding 48 to Juniata), and Bell would love to add to those totals.

“I think some teams have had success running the ball. We were looking at (the Newport game films with) Millersburg and even Susquenita and at times (their opponents) were able to keep kind of a mix going,” Bell said.

“So we just have to see what’s working for us at the time. If we are able to do both (pass and run), we’ll try to do both. But, if not, we will concentrate on what’s working.”

Newport coach Todd Ro-thermel, a former player and head coach at Line Moun-tain, sounded a similar re-frain when talking about his offensive attack.

“I’d like to think that we’re pretty balanced,” he said.

Rothermel would like to establish the run game first and then take their chances in the passing game.

“We will have to identify what they’re doing to us and make the adjustments and take what they’re going to

give us,” he said. “If they’re going to try to go man to man with us, then our an-swer is to run the spread and make them cover everybody from sideline to sideline and hopefully we will have an athlete somewhere that we can have a mismatch.”

He added that the onus will be on the offensive line for protection because Up-per Dauphin will try to send one more defender than they can handle.

“The bottom line,” he said, “will be to take what they’re giving us, make the adjustments and go from there.”

Rothermel said he expects Upper Dauphin to try to throw the football, like it did against Line Mountain, especially since the Buf-faloes have been giving up some yards through the air. He added that mobile quar-terbacks have had some suc-cess against his defense.

“It makes you cover so much longer on the back end; you need to try to keep him in the pocket so he doesn’t get out and make big plays,” Rothermel said.

HALIFAX — East Ju-niata coach George Miski-nis knows his squad was the better team on the field last week. But the veteran coach also knows that in high school football, you can’t dwell on the past.

“We should have won the game but that is high school football,” said Miskinis. “There was a lot we can learn from the game and move on.”

And the Tigers (2-5) move on to Halifax on Friday in a Tri-Valley League matchup.

The Tigers showed the ability to move the ball up and down the field against

Susquenita last week, but only had two touchdowns to show for it.

“We have to take advan-tage of the opportunities we get,” said Miskinis. “We have to learn to finish drives and put points on the score-board.

“We had our chances.”The running game was

potent behind Mason Ham-bright and Andrew Zerbe. Hambright has rushed for almost 500 yards this sea-son and Zerbe is nearing the 300-yard mark.

The offense is run by quarterback Chris Schulgen, who has shown the ability to be a multi-threat running and throwing the ball.

But what has been a sur-

prise the last few games has been the play of the de-fense.

“Our defense has kept us in the games,” said Miski-nis. “A play here or there and the outcomes might have been different.”

The Tigers held Susqueni-ta’s rushing attack at bay for most of the game last week and did not allow the Black-hawks to pick up a first down in the second half.

East Juniata also forced three turnovers. In fact, they have averaged forcing three turnovers over the last four games.

Halifax (1-6) comes into the game on a six-game los-ing skid and is looking for its first TVL win of the sea-

son.The Wildcats are led on

offense by quarterback Ma-son Erdman and running back Eric Johnston.

Erdman has thrown for 733 yards and five touch-downs. He has been inter-cepted eight times, but as a team Halifax has turned the ball over just 10 times in seven games.

Johnston has rushed for 458 yards and four scores and is also Erdman’s main target, as he leads the team with 228 yards receiving and two scores.

“We have three games left,” said Miskinis. “We just have to keep improving and go into each one ready to play.”

GREENVILLE, N.C. — East Carolina isn’t Notre Dame. But before Temple’s 22nd-ranked football team can finally start talking about the Irish, it must take care of the most important game on the schedule since Week 2 at Cincinnati. That was over a month ago.

The Owls are 6-0 for the fourth time ever, and first since 1974. They’re in the polls for the first time in 36 years. They have never been 7-0. All of which has ...

“Nothing to do with play-ing,” correctly cautioned coach Matt Rhule, whose club will be at East Carolina (4-3, 2-1 American) tonight in a matchup that could de-cide the East Division. “I’m not worried about us looking ahead. I’m worried about us putting too much emphasis

on this game.“I heard (players) saying

early in the week, ‘This is for the lead in the East.’ Guys, this is Game 7. It’s not for anything else, other than this game. I try to be honest with them. I think when you try to downplay things or (play up), you’re not being real. If you make this game more important than any other, then you’re not playing the way you can.

“The Penn State game was a big thing for everybody (else). For us, it was just a game. You have to take ... what’s on the line and get rid of all that and just play. As (Cubs manager) Joe Mad-don says, if the pleasure outweighs the pressure, then you’re good. I don’t want the pressure to be too much.”

Last November, East Carolina was ranked 21st when it lost in South Philly by 10 to a 4-3 team that was

coming off two double-digit road losses. The Pirates won their previous two against ranked teams, both coming early last season (at Virginia Tech and at home vs. North Carolina). Now they’ve been installed as a slight favorite by the folks who supposedly know about such stuff. The Owls were touchdown un-derdogs against Penn State and Cincy, too.

“It definitely just contin-ues to leave that chip on our shoulder,” said junior Jahad Thomas, whose 756 rushin yards lead the conference. “That, you know, people still don’t respect us for what we’ve done. I’m not saying we’ve really achieved any-thing yet. It’s just extra fuel for us. But we can’t be think-ing outside the box. When we’re not focused on what we’re doing, we don’t play well.

“We can’t be thinking

ahead. We’ll (think about Notre Dame) next week. This is a very good team right here. If we’re not pre-pared to win, it’s a game we could lose. We’ve been an underdog for so long here.”

So what would constitute notable accomplishments?

“A conference champion-ship, an undefeated season, a national championship,” Thomas duly noted. “Things of that nature.”

Hey, if you’re going to swing, might as well go for the fences. Or else why even try?

These Owls probably weren’t supposed to be in this position. Yet here they are, ready or otherwise. Now it’s on them to make the most of the photo op.

“If it took this long to get a target on our backs, it is what it is,” said junior quarterback P.J. Walker, who teamed with Thomas to win a New Jersey

state high school champion-ship at Elizabeth. “We’re not really thinking about any-thing like that. (People) are going to tell you a lot of good things (now). But you just have to let it go through one ear and out the other. Just get through it. Each game is a big game for us. We have to go play like it. We don’t want to lose.”

They insist that nothing has changed within their facility, just because they’re going to be on prime-time national television on Hal-loween. Why mess with whatever’s gotten them to this point?

“It’s the same feeling we had when we had the 2-10 season (in Rhule’s 2013 de-but),” senior linebacker Ty-ler Matakevich said. “We’re 6-0, but those games don’t mean anything right now. They’re all behind us. You can’t look back at them.”

Game Night

By Todd StanfordThe Daily Item

LEWISBURG — Like most football coaches, Joe Susan does not believe in moral victories.

True, his Bucknell team nearly pulled off an upset of an FBS school last week when the Bison traveled to Army and battled tooth-and-nail with the Black Knights before falling, 21-14. But don’t make the mistake — like a certain reporter did — of suggesting that it may have been a moral victory.

“We gave up 105 yards in penalties,” Susan said. “You give up that much in those chunks, especially against an FBS school ...”

The Bison (3-3) were lead-ing or tied with Army for all but six minutes of the game.

But they gave up a big play late for the game-winning touchdown.

“I can’t fault Nick O’Brien because he covered (Ed-gar Poe) as well as you can. But the guy he’s covering is 6-foot-4.”

That 68-yard touchdown reception won the game for Army. Now, Bucknell has to get back to Patriot League play, as the Bison host Georgetown on Satur-day at 1.

“(Hoyas coach) Rob Sgar-lata has done an outstanding job with that program,” Su-san says.

Georgetown enters the game with a record of 3-4, 1-1 in the Patriot League, which means they’re ahead of the Bison in the standings (0-1).

“Their quarterback

(Kyle Nolan) is a big strong player,” Susan said. “He’s a senior; he does a lot of tim-ing (throws). They spread you out, and he makes the decision whether to run it or throw the football.”

In the Hoyas’ 35-7 win over Lafayette two weeks ago — Georgetown’s most lopsided victory over a Pa-triot League foe ever — No-lan threw for 311 yards and five touchdowns.

Defensively, the Hoyas use a basic formation, but Susan said they’re very good at it.

“They don’t do a lot, but what they do, they do well,” he said. “They’re aggressive; their defensive ends are very athletic.”

For the Bison, Susan still isn’t sure if preseason all-league running back C.J. Williams will return. He’s

missed the last two games due to concussion protocol.

If Williams can’t go, he’ll again be replaced by Matt DelMauro. The senior from Nutley, N.J., rushed for 105 yards on 18 carries last week.

“He ran as well as he’s run,” Susan said. “We preach to him all the time, ‘just be direct in your runs, don’t make too many cuts.’ He uses the size of our of-fensive line to his advantage. He’s a very strong runner.”

Bucknell only has league games remaining. Following Saturday’s game, they travel to Lafayette and Fordham in consecutive weeks before hosting Holy Cross and then heading to Colgate for the season finale.

SELINSGROVE — If Susquehanna is going to etch its name in the win col-umn, coach Tom Perkovich knows one way to make that happen.

“We need to put it to-gether in the fourth quar-ter,” Perkovich said. “We have to finish in that quar-ter. You look at our stats for three quarters and we’re right there. But the last pe-riod tells a different tale.”

The Crusaders (2-4 over-all, 1-4 Centennial Confer-ence) can begin to rewrite that stat line this weekend as they play host to Ursinus (2-4, 1-4) on Saturday af-ternoon in a 1 p.m. kickoff from Nicholas A. Lopardo Stadium.

Susquehanna and Ursinus both enter the game hav-ing dropped a combined five consecutive conference contests. The Crusaders held leads in each of their games against Gettysburg, Muhlenberg and Moravian (the last two being one-possession defeats), while Ursinus is coming off of a narrow 21-17 setback to Ju-niata.

“Our guys are taking it one game at a time,” Perk-ovich said. “We just got done playing three very good teams in a row. And we had a chance to win all three games. We’ve got to find the way to win.”

Some might classify Ur-sinus as a winnable game based on the Crusaders’ performances over their last three games. But Perkovich is quick to point out Ursinus is no slouch.

“We look at them as a good team,” Perkovich said. “They’re good defensively and they’re finding their way offensively with a pretty young group.”

The Bears’ defense has

yielded an average of 19.5 points per game. It held Di-vision II’s Millersville score-less through regulation in a season-opening 17-9 victory in five overtimes. Three of the Bears’ four defeats have come allowing 22 points or fewer.

Susquehanna has also found its defense rising to the occasion. For the second consecutive game, the Cru-saders held an opponent be-low 50 percent in third-down conversions. Defensive line-men AJ Williard and Kyle Micik have combined for six sacks; each recorded a sack against Moravian.

“The defense is get-ting better and better each week,” Perkovich said. “Our kids have stepped up and re-sponded with all of the inju-ries we’ve had.”

Offensively, Perkovich said Susquehanna must find a way to improve its third-down conversions. The Cru-saders were 4 of 16 on third downs against Moravian.

“We left a bunch of stuff out there,” Perkovich said. “And we didn’t execute on third down. That was the difference in the ball game.”

Without the presence of Cameron Ott in the back-field, Susquehanna has uti-lized Kyle Neuschatz, quar-terback Nick Crusco — and new to the fold — receiver Pat Cutillo, who leads SU with 37 receptions. Cutillo rushed for 37 yards against Moravian and has yet to be tackled for a loss on his 11 carries.

“It was by design to get him the ball like that on the perimeter,” Perkovich said. “Maybe we should have started doing that a little sooner. He’s really quick getting to the edge. We’re just finding ways to get him the ball.”

Ursinus is paced by run-ning back Corey Kelly, who leads the team in rushing (391 yards) and receiving (261 yards), scoring six total touchdowns. Defensive line-man William Ghaul leads the team in tackles for loss (7.5) and sacks (2.5).

By Josh FunkFor The Daily Item

WEST CHESTER — Each game on the Blooms-burg Huskies’ schedule presents its own unique chal-lenges, but there’s one week in particular that perhaps stands out above the rest.

That’s the West Chester week.

“West Chester week is a very tough week,” said wide receiver Chad Hoffman fol-lowing BU’s 27-21 overtime victory against Kutztown.

And Bloomsburg (5-2 overall, 4-0 PSAC East) treks to Chester County to face a Golden Rams (4-3, 3-1) team smarting from its first conference loss of the season last Saturday to Ship-pensburg, 27-11.

Kickoff from John A. Far-rell Stadium is set for 2:06 p.m. and will be broadcast live on SportsFever TV.

Bloomsburg defeated West Chester, 41-10, last season at Redman Stadium. But the Huskies, who have won 12 of their last 15 home games against WCU, are 5-5 in the series playing on the road since 1993.

The Huskies presently sit atop the PSAC East stand-ings with a 4-0 record. East Stroudsburg, West Chester and Shippensburg are all nipping at the Huskies’ heels with 3-1 marks. So long as the Huskies win out, they would avoid the need to decide the division on tiebreakers. A second conference loss for West Chester would severely hamper the Golden Rams’ hopes of vying for confer-ence supremacy.

West Chester, averaging 35.2 points and 481.4 yards per game (290 pass, 191 rushing) will face a Blooms-burg team that has proven quite resilient. The Huskies enter Saturday on a four-game winning streak, and in five of their first seven games

they have had to rally from first-half deficits.

And the resilience was a question coach Paul Dar-ragh faced after the Kutz-town game.

“I think it’s still too early to say that (this is the most resilient team I’ve ever coached), but I definitely agree that resilient is a good term to describe this team,” Darragh said. “We’re going to need a lot of that over the course of the rest of the sea-son.”

Back Lawrence Elliott Jr. is coming off of a career-best 209 yards rushing against Kutztown, bumping his sea-son tally to 879 yards and six touchdowns. Elliott is the pri-mary back in Bloomsburg’s ground attack, averaging 240.1 yards per game; he’ll

be pitted against a WCU de-fense allowing 169 yards per game on the ground.

Tim Kelly threw for 189 yards against Kutztown, which moved him to third on Bloomsburg’s career passing yardage list, with 6,953 yards. Kelly is 521 yards shy of tying the Huskies’ career passing yardage mark of 7,474 yards, established by Eric Miller in 2000. Hoffman is the only Huskies receiver with more than 20 receptions, but Con-ner Gades and Nate Hoenl have also proven steady and reliable targets.

Ezra Ranco has been a force for Bloomsburg’s de-fense of late, and has boosted his season totals to 26 tack-les, four for loss, with 3.5 sacks. Shikellamy graduate Garrett Pope is third on the

Bloom defensive unit with 30 stops.

West Chester features six athletes with at least 100 yards rushing for the season to date. Jarel Elder leads the pack with 508 yards and five touchdowns. Eddie Elliott is a dual-threat rusher and re-ceiver with 598 yards from scrimmage (363 receiving, 235 rushing).

Quarterback Pat Moriarty has completed 55.6 percent of his passes for 1,872 yards and 19 touchdowns. Receiv-ers Jim Hurley and Shannon Mayer have combined for nine touchdowns and 625 yards on 31 catches.

Defensively, Ralph Reeves leads the Golden Rams with 43 tackles, while Andrew Cohen boasts 11.5 tackles for loss and six sacks.

David GinsburgThe Associated Press

COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Mike Locksley wants to make football fun again for the beleaguered players at Maryland.

The Terrapins (2-4, 0-2 Big Ten) had a bye last week, and during the break Lock-sley — who took over as interim coach after Randy Edsall was fired on Oct. 11 — looked for ways to ease some of the pressure on a team that lost three straight games in lopsided fashion before ultimately losing its head coach.

Over the past several days, Locksley has piped music into the team room before meetings and stressed indi-vidual competition at prac-tice. He even allowed the scout teams to run a couple plays against each other rather than merely serve as fodder for the regulars.

“I think a team takes on the personality of its leader, and with me being the leader the next six weeks, when your kids go through tough times you need to lighten the mood a little bit,” Lock-sley said Tuesday. “For us and for me, the big thing is, I don’t want our guys play-ing tight. I don’t want them thinking they have to go out to win to save people’s jobs or get a guy a job. I want them to go play football in its purest form.”

The 45-year-old Locksley was assigned the role of in-terim coach after serving as Edsall’s offensive coor-dinator. Maryland athletic director Kevin Anderson says Locksley — who went 2-26 as head coach at New Mexico from 2009-11 — is in the mix to take over on a permanent basis.

Saturday’s game in Balti-more against Penn State (5-2, 2-1) could be perceived as the beginning of an audition

for Locksley.Even if someone else gets

the Maryland job, Locksley could land a prestigious post elsewhere if he turns around the struggling Terps.

“I really am not going to concern myself about audi-tioning for a head coaching job. I won’t politic for it,” he said. “I think my only mis-sion and my only job is to make sure these kids, espe-cially the seniors, have an opportunity to go out and be as competitive as they can be the next six weeks, have fun and play the game with as much passion as they can.

“I’m a big believer in working for the job you have and not for the one you want. Right now my job is to prepare these guys for Penn State.”

Senior offensive lineman Andrew Zeller was stunned when Edsall was dismissed, but he’s hoping the change

at the top can turn around a season that is only halfway done.

“There’s nothing we can do to change the situation, and we’ve just moved on,” Zeller said. “We still have a season to play. We’ve got six games with the potential of playing another one. That’s all we’re worried about right now.”

Locksley understands the importance of helping develop quarterback Perry Hills and tightening up a defense that has yielded

122 points in the last three games. But making Mary-land better goes beyond that.

“Whether it’s little things like playing music before the team meeting, all the things that this generation likes to do, we’re just trying to make sure it’s more of a mood than it is something that we’re doing on the field,” he said. “It starts with me hav-ing a high energy. I think we’ve seen a little bit of a change, and we’re excited.”
