LEWISBURG — Early in his second season, Michael Nines and his Central Moun-tain Wildcats really seemed ready to turn a corner after wins over Shamokin and Central Columbia.
Then Mount Carmel vis-ited Don Mihalik Stadium last Friday night.
“We lost five two-way starters to injuries by the end of the first quarter,” Nines said. “That makes it difficult against anybody, let alone with a good team like Mount Carmel.”
The beaten-up Wild-cats now head to Christy Mathewson-Memorial Sta-dium for Lewisburg’s Home-coming game on Friday at 7 p.m.
The biggest loss for Cen-tral Mountain is junior Jus-tin Neff. Neff, the starting quarterback, is also one of the most dangerous return men in the area. Neff al-ready has three kickoff re-turns for a touchdown.
Neff also leads the team in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns this season.
Sophomore Austyn Carl-son will step in at quarter-back, while Evan Prough will replace Neff at safety.
The Wildcats (2-2) have made a living with their spe-cial teams this season. In addition to Neff’s prowess, Central Mountain is aver-aging 31.6 yards per kickoff return as a team.
“I feel like that’s some-thing we’ve done pretty well this year,” Lewisburg coach Michael Ferriero said. “We’ve played pretty good special teams.”
Central Mountain has also switched some things up of-fensively this season. The Wildcats ran a lot of Geor-gia Tech-like option offense, but have switched to more of a spread squad. Central Mountain will also switch back to last year’s scheme. That puts extra pressure on the Lewisburg defense.
“Our defensive coordina-tor has to put a lot of work in to figure out what all the multiple looks mean on of-fense,” Ferriero said. “They are going to spread us out and we’ll see some of the same stuff we saw last year as well.”
This has all the signs of a trap game for the Green Dragons, bouncing back from a loss with a 33-0 shut-out over Milton a week ago, playing a team without its best player and a squad they beat 50-6 a year ago.
“We can’t go into a game thinking we are going to roll over somebody,” Ferriero said. “It’s up to us as coaches to get them prepared likes it’s just another opponent. You can’t pay attention to skill level or records. You have to prepare the same for everybody.”
Lewisburg (3-1) got both sides of the ball back on track after Mount Carmel held them to seven points and halfback Kyle Karyicki ran all over them at the Sil-ver Bowl last month.

For two teams that are currently on opposite ends of the HAC-I standings, both Mifflinburg’s Jason Dressler and Jersey Shore’s Tom Gravish are more focused on their own teams rather then their opponent heading into Friday night’s matchup.
It’s not that each isn’t aware about something the other team might do to hurt them. But given where each team is coming from, both can ill afford to worry about much else other than what each’s own team is doing.
Mifflinburg is coming off a loss by a touchdown to Shikellamy that dropped it to 0-4 despite being more com-petitive than it had been in any game so far this season. With turnovers continuing to be the Wildcats’ biggest problem — 16 in four games — Dressler is primarily con-cerned with making sure his team stays positive and fo-cuses on fundamentals.
“The psyche is something you always worry about when you’re 0-4,” said Dressler. “We have to go in with con-fidence in our own abilities. We can’t be worried about the other team. Right now we just have to focus on get-ting better and having the belief that we can put things together and show we’re a quality football team. But we have a lot of work to do.
“Our ball handling has just been terrible and that’s the first place we have to start. We have to do the little things right, so we’re going back to basics, we’re chang-ing some drills and working on securing the football in different ways.”
After being inserted as the quarterback midway through Mifflinburg’s second game, freshman Josh Foster will once again get the nod under center.
“Josh wants to be a student of the game, but he’s young, so mistakes will be made,” said Dressler. “We’re trying to slow down the game by giving him small things to work on and asking him to make simple plays. He has to make those basic plays, otherwise, you have to make bigger plays if you’re playing from behind.”
Jersey Shore, meanwhile, is coming off its first regular-season loss since Oct. 18, 2013, against Selinsgrove. The Bulldogs dropped a cross-county matchup at Montoursville last week.
Though some teams might be down after such a loss, Gravish is confident his team has already put the
disappointment behind it. The Bulldogs can ill afford not to, not with a tight race once again brewing with Se-linsgrove for both HAC-I and District 4 Class AAA supremacy.
“We had a really good in-tense practice for a Monday this week,” said Gravish.
“Our kids are pretty level-headed and have already moved on. I thought we did a lot of things well last week. We probably gained as many yards against a better de-fense as we did against some of the others we’ve played. But when two turnovers lead to 14 points, that hurts.”

BERWICK — There is always a certain excitement that grips the Selinsgrove High and Berwick High football teams when they hook up in their yearly non-league matchup.
The Seals and the Bull-dogs are two teams that usually have expectations that reach beyond district playoffs and stretch into De-cember.
And what better way to find out where both teams stand in relation to those goals, than a hard-hitting matchup between the two squads?
The 2015 version takes place at 7 on Friday night at Crispin Field, and there are two big storylines headed into the contest.
Berwick’s legendary coach George Curry is look-ing for his 400th career vic-tory for the second time as the Bulldogs dropped a 34-6 decision to Wyoming Valley West last week, while the Seals are looking to avenge last year’s loss to the Bull-
dogs after a 21-0 lead in the opening half.
“My biggest concern this week is (the players) not getting excited too early. By Friday, they are going to be geared up and ready to play,” Selinsgrove coach Derek Hicks said. “Giving up a 21-0 lead and losing 22-21 was obviously frustrating. The kids haven’t forgotten.”
It’s an interesting matchup on both sides of the ball for the Seals (4-0 overall). The Selinsgrove offense has rolled up 45 and 52 points in the two weeks since Ju-von Batts returned to the lineup.
But the Bulldogs (3-1) have what Hicks calls the best defense the Seals have faced yet this season.
Selinsgrove got a little help from the Spartans last week, who put up 34 points on a defense that had posted back-to-back shutouts.
“The Valley West game was good film for us, espe-cially on the offensive end,” Hicks said. “We do a lot of similar things on offense and it showed some things
that we are hoping will work for us as well.”
Batts has rushed for 350 yards and four scores with a whopping 26.9 yards per carry in his first two games. Sophomore quarterback Logan Leiby, who made his first varsity start against the Bulldogs last year, has been efficient this season. He’s completed nearly 63 percent of his passes for 564 yards and six touchdowns. The lone downside has been four interceptions.
Nick Swineford leads the Seals with 15 catches and three touchdown grabs, while Colin Hoke has nine catches and two TD recep-
tions.The Bulldogs have lived
off their defense in the early season as the offense has struggled the last two weeks, scoring just 13 points.
Berwick has been rotat-ing quarterbacks in the early season and they both pose different threats to the Seals’ defense, which has been outstanding in its own right.
Both Andrew Force and Jared Marshman have split time evenly for the Bull-dogs. Force is more of a run-ner and has rushed for 150 yards and two scores, while Marshman is more of a clas-sic drop-back passer.

COAL TOWNSHIP — The current streak of three home games for the Shamokin Indians has been nothing but a house of hor-rors.
First, into Kemp Memo-rial Stadium three weeks ago was Southern Colum-bia, and the Tigers ran and passed their way to a big win.
Last week, Selinsgrove and Javon Batts visited the stadium in the west end
of Coal Township and ran around the Indians, as he averaged more than 20 yards a touch with his short-est touchdown run being 45 yards.
So with a variety of speedy backs doing damage to the Indians during their homestand, what better way to end it than with a bull of a back with a chip on his shoulder?
Shamokin (1-4) will look to end its four-game losing streak Friday as Milton (1-3) comes to town for a Heart-land Athletic Conference Division I battle.
Milton’s Brandon Stokes comes into the game af-ter being held to under 100 yards for the first time this season in a 33-0 loss last week to Lewisburg.
“We need to not only get our running game back on track, but we need to get Brandon back on track,” said Milton coach George Goodwin. “Brandon is a huge part of what we do and as he goes, we go.
“Good things happen for us when he is running the ball hard and running peo-ple over.”
But Stokes is not the only back who will get attention Friday night, as Shamokin has a good one of its own.
Senior running back Pres-ton Burns has also been on a tear and is looking to con-tinue it against Milton.
“Burns is a solid back,” said Goodwin. “We have to be ready for him and we have to stop him.
“Arm tackling is not going to work against a strong and fast back like him.”
But stopping Burns might just open a Pandora’s Box for Milton.
The Milton secondary has been burned the past few weeks and was completely scorched against Lewis-burg.
“We need to fix the sec-ondary and fix it this week,” said Goodwin. “We are al-lowing too much through the air.
“But it’s just not the defen-sive backs. We need to get a better pass rush and we need our linebackers to collide with the receivers so they are not getting free runs into the secondary. Pass defense has to be a team effort.”
Shamokin’s passing game has been inconsistent, but that’s because of the inexpe-rience behind center.
“We have new quarter-backs with no experience,” said Shamokin coach Pat DiRenzo. “It’s been a learn-ing process all season.”

MOUNT CARMEL — When the season started, Mount Carmel fans were lamenting their team’s small numbers — a remarkable 28 for the once-thriving Coal Region program.
The Red Tornadoes didn’t do anything to raise the fans’ hopes when, led by a first-year coach, they went out and lost their first two games.
Well, those numbers have not changed, but first-year coach John Darrah’s team has made the most of its tal-ent, playing unbeaten Selin-sgrove tough in week two, and winning back-to-back games versus Lewisburg and Central Mountain.
Danville started out with high hopes, looking to erase the memories of last year’s 1-9 season. The Ironmen started 2-0, but have fallen to 2-2 after losses to a pair of unbeaten teams — Loyal-sock and Southern Colum-bia.
Darrah said he is pretty impressed with the Ironmen from what he has seen on film.
“They are similar to us, they have a lot of young guys in their system,” he said. “They are a pretty good football team. Even in their losses, they played very well.”
Indeed, Danville (0-1 Heartland Athletic Confer-ence Division II) was in a scoreless tie at halftime with the Lancers and trailed the Tigers by just 14-0 at the half.
But the problem for Dan-ville, according to coach Jim Keiser, is that injuries have depleted the depth that he was hoping to build, something that the Ironmen needed to be able to hang with teams in the second half.
“We are down to 30 kids.
We’re like Mount Carmel. We’re scraping a team to-gether,” Keiser said. “We think we are doing a good job rotating our linemen, and getting some kids ro-tated out of there. But there are still some kids who we are not throwing out there full-time yet.”
He said just as they started to develop some depth, they lost other play-ers to injury and had to move players back in.
He noted that one of those players, senior Robin Moore, was injured last week and lost for the sea-son.
“He was just really com-ing around,” Keiser said.
Two-way starter Joe Strausser (a senior tight end/linebacker) has been unavailable because of a re-curring back problem and his status remains in ques-tion.
Now Danville faces an improved Mount Carmel team that Keiser said has momentum and is fired up
after back-to-back wins.“They are pure power
and we’re not a very big team, and they are going to come downhill at us and I don’t know if we are tough enough to withstand that,”
Keiser said, adding that the Red Tornadoes can throw the ball as well.
Mount Carmel (1-0 HAC-II) lost its starting quar-terback, freshman John Ayres, to an injury early in last week’s game, but his re-placement, sophomore Tom McDonald, had a big game in the win at Central Moun-tain.
“The big thing we preach is the next-man-up philoso-phy, and we expect the next guy to go in there and per-form,” Darrah said. “We had some trouble on the first two snaps, and had to adjust to a new quarterback cadence. But once he made a few plays, we got confident.
“I think he played well and it didn’t affect us at all,” Darrah added.
Darrah said the Ironmen have their share of weapons, including junior fullback Trent Hilkert.
“We think he’s a pretty good back. He has about 500 yards on the season and is a bigger kid (6-foot-2, 215 pounds) and he runs pretty hard,” Darrah said.

SUNBURY — on Friday night, Montoursville and Shikellamy battle in an im-portant Heartland Athletic Conference Division I con-test at Shikellamy Stadium.
However, two of the most important players won’t take the field.
Montoursville middle linebacker Logan McKeag, a two-time all-HAC-I se-lection, will miss the game. He leads the team with 41 tackles. Meanwhile, Shikel-lamy halfback-safety Shawn Turber will miss the con-test with an injury suffered last week. Turber leads the Braves with 312 yards and four scores on the ground, while he has four intercep-tions on the defensive end.
It’s a big opportunity for Braves halfbacks Lemeir Mitchell, Pierson White and
freshman Joey Folk, who will all get carries on the of-fensive side for the Braves (1-3 overall, 1-1 HAC-I).
It will be a tough task for the Braves offense. Mon-toursville plays a different type of 4-3 defense. It will be up to the Shikellamy of-fensive line to make the cor-rect adjustments to keep the Warriors off quarterback Christian Schlegel.
“Offensively, they play a different style 4-3 then we are used to seeing,” Shikel-lamy coach Todd Tilford said. “So we have got to make sure the OL is on the same page with their block-ing assignments.”
On the defensive side, Tate Krankoskie, who had two interceptions, includ-ing one he returned for a touchdown, will move from cornerback to safety, while Trey Cunningham slides into the lineup at safety.
The Braves seem to have figured out some of their defensive problems, hold-ing Mifflinburg to just two scores and forcing five turn-overs.
“The defense did a nice job last week swarming to the ball and getting key stops,” Tilford said. “We are going to need another performance like that this week.”
The Warriors (3-1 overall, 2-0 HAC-I) ended Jersey Shore’s 16-game regular-season winning streak last week and the Warriors have bounced back nicely from their loss last month to Lewisburg.
With Montoursville com-ing off the win over the Bull-dogs — and considering the Braves’ record — one would think Friday night has a chance to be a trap game for the Warriors.
However, Shikellamy
went to Lycoming County last year and beat the War-riors 20-18.
“Our kids are pretty smart; Shikellamy’s losses are to teams that haven’t lost this year or (have) just one loss,” Montoursville coach J.C. Keefer said. “They know their record isn’t indicative of their tal-ent. It will be a battle and our kids know it.”
Montoursville’s offense has put together 41, 62 and 42 points in its three victo-ries this season. The War-riors’ one-two backfield punch of Keith Batkowski and Ben Cerney have been outstanding. Batkowski has rushed for 667 yards and six touchdowns, while Cerney, his fullback, has 213 yards and three scores.
“Batkowski is a tough, shifty back behind a big of-fensive line,” Tilford said.

CATAWISSA — Central Columbia heads down the road to rival Southern Co-lumbia in search of its first win of the season.
Normally, that is a tough task in any situation, but with the Blue Jays giving up more than 325 yards a game — 200 on the ground — it might be near impossible.
The Blue Jays (0-4) will look to improve on both sides of the ball as they take on the Tigers (4-0) on Fri-day night at Tigers Stadium.
“It’s a tough task,” said Central Columbia coach Ja-son Hippenstiel.
Southern comes into the contest racking up more than 450 yards with 300 of them on the ground.
Leading the way for the Tigers has been running backs Hunter Thomas and Blake Marks. Both backs have more than 300 yards this season, with Marks leading the way with 361.
But Southern is more than just running the ball this year. Senior quarterback Nick Becker has shown no effects of the shoulder injury he had in Week 1; he threw for 171 yards Friday night in the win over Danville. Thomas is a big weapon out of the back field, as is wide receiver Steve Toczlousky. Both have more than 200 yards each this season.
But what has become a calling card this season for the Tigers has been the de-fense.
“Our defense is playing well at the moment,” said Southern Columbia coach Jim Roth. “We played our best game defensively Fri-day night against Danville.”
That is the last thing the young Blue Jays needed to hear.
Central is averaging just 192 yards a game, with it be-ing evenly spread between
the rushing and passing games.
And if that isn’t enough of a concern, Central is turn-ing the ball over an average of two times a game, which is never a good thing to do against Southern Columbia. But the Tigers this season have also struggled keeping
the ball, as they have turned it over nine times this sea-son.
Junior quarterback Aaron Farver has passed for 363 yards.
The running game has also struggled, in part due to the injury to Brittan Cooke. The active leading rusher on
the team has just 66 yards. Senior Eli Petersheim is
the leading receiver for the Blue Jays with nine catches for 103 yards.
Central has scored just four offensive touchdowns this season.

Cover Story
Gridiron graduates
By Todd HummelThe Daily Item
With as much football tal-ent that has been produced by The Daily Item coverage area, it’s no surprise that plenty of those players dot the football rosters of teams from Penn State University to Division III Trine Uni-versity in Indiana.
I tried to find as many of those players as possible. If I missed any, please let me know at [email protected].
Starting with the local schools as you can see by the cover, former Shikel-lamy quarterback Garrett Pope is headed into his third season as the starting linebacker for Bloomsburg University. Pope has 17 tackles, including two for a loss, for the 2-2 Huskies this season. Central Columbia graduate Jake Klinger has been a contributor on the defensive side of the ball as well at tackle. He has six tackles on the season.
Shikellamy graduate
Jacob Hare, Southern Columbia graduate Josh Tripp and Milton graduate Travis Krall are all offensive linemen at Bloomsburg. Bloomsburg High graduate Matthew Solokolski is the Huskies’ long snapper.
Danville graduate Bret Berg started the opener for Bucknell and has been a key contributor on the defen-sive side of the ball for the Bison. Berg has 11 tackles and three pass breakups this season. Sophomore wideout Colby Klingerman,
a Bloomsburg High gradu-ate, has four special teams tackles for Bucknell and two catches for 23 yards. Lewis-burg graduate Drew New-comb is a freshman safety for the Bison.
Susquehanna University will be looking for contribu-tions from local players for many seasons to come. The Crusaders have seven fresh-men from the area on their roster. Warrior Run gradu-ate Frank James and Mif-flinburg graduate Jordan Wagner are quarterbacks.
Milton graduate Logan Mensch and Warrior Run graduate Aaron McCollum are offensive linemen for Susquehanna.
Another Defenders graduate — William Mi-chael — is a wideout, while Danville graduate Shayne Riley is a kicker. One of the local Crusaders — Warrior Run graduate and freshman Wyatt Kirkendall — will make his first start of his ca-reer at safety this week for Susquehanna. Kirkendall has 13 tackles this season.

Cover StorySophomore Zach Sauers, a Mifflinburg graduate, has two tackles at linebacker for the Crusaders.
Lycoming College has three locals on its squad. Sophomore Sam Dressler, a Danville graduate, has one carry for two yards this season for the Warriors. Another Danville gradu-ate, Matt Patterson, is a senior offensive lineman for Lycoming, while Shamokin graduate Logan Mirolli is a freshman tight end.
We have one player at Penn State. Former Lewis-burg standout Brandon Smith is a linebacker for the Nittany Lions.
We have one player in the Ivy League. Mount Carmel graduate Christian Kelley is a freshman inside line-backer for Cornell.
Shikellamy graduate Tyler Pratt is the starting safety for Kutztown University. The junior has 11 tackles on the season.
Former Line Mountain standout Luke Erdman is a starting offensive lineman for Lock Haven University, while Bloomsburg High graduate Zach Ashford is a redshirt freshman wide out for the Bald Eagles.
Susquehanna’s Centen-nial Conference mates have plenty of locals as well. Lewisburg graduate Logan Aikey is a freshman line-backer at Gettysburg. An-other former Green Dragon — Kyle Santorine — is a junior three-year start-ing center for Dickinson. Former Bloomsburg High quarterback Ricky Klinger-man has played two games for the Red Devils. He’s carried the ball 10 times for 58 yards and has completed 7-of-16 passes for 49 yards.
Juniata, which has former Selinsgrove standout Kyle Schuck in his first year as defensive line coach, has two freshman from the area. Lewisburg graduate Brandon Benfer is a defen-sive lineman, while Upper Dauphin graduate Dako-tah Wiest is an offensive lineman. Line Mountain
graduate Nathan Shaffer is a senior offensive lineman for Juniata.
Ben Kahn, a Selinsgrove graduate, is a sophomore defensive back for McDan-iel. He’s third on the team in tackles with 22.
Upper Dauphin graduate Trey Campbell, a sopho-more, is a running back at King’s College.
The biggest concentra-tion of locals is at Lebanon Valley College. The Dutch-men have 10 players with local ties. Two Mifflinburg graduates play for Lebanon Valley. Connor Pierce is a senior free safety with 13 tackles and two pass
breakups, while Anthony Caruso is a junior defen-sive end. Lourdes Regional graduate Mike Gilger, who played for the Red Raiders and Mount Carmel after Lourdes dropped football, has one tackle as a sopho-more defensive back.
The Dutchmen also got a big recruiting haul from the area with seven freshmen from the area on the roster. Selinsgrove graduate Zach Adams is already contribut-ing with five tackles and has played all four games so far this season. Four former Mount Carmel graduates — tailback Blake Panko, wide receiver Treyvon White
and offensive tackles Mike Kaminsky and Lee Ama-rose — are freshmen, along with Southern Columbia graduate Trent Donlan, a nose guard, and Shikellamy graduate Evan Witmer, a tight end.
Wilkes University has two players on its roster. Mount Carmel graduate Lucas Amarose is a starting left tackle for the Colonels, while Danville graduate Ryan Jones is a sophomore defensive back.
Misercordia had four local players — sophomore running back Alex Bruner from Shikellamy — and three freshmen: Warrior
Run graduate Tyler Kling, a linebacker; Mount Carmel graduate Gerard Reichwein, an offensive lineman; and Upper Dauphin graduate Peyton Kennerly, a defen-sive end.
Shikellamy graduate John Schaeffer is a fresh-man wide receiver at Trine University.
There are also two players for Mansfield University’s sprint football team. Former East Juniata quarterback and Midd-West graduate Austin Bennett has thrown for 89 yards this season. Warrior Run graduate Doug Bird is a junior linebacker with three tackles.

Danville High School graduate Brett Berg, seen here during a practice last season, has 11 tackles at Bucknell this year.
HUGHESVILLE — Af-ter three weeks, Warrior Run finally found its run-ning game.
And it’s a good thing be-cause the Defenders (2-2) will need it to take time off the clock and keep Hughes-ville’s potent offense on the sideline Friday night.
“We’ve been trying to develop a running game all season,” said Warrior Run coach Mark Burrows. “It’s still not where I want it, though.
“We need to keep work-ing on it.”
Tyler Brown rushed for 165 yards against Central Columbia last week and proved to be the workhorse back Burrows and the De-fenders were hoping he would be. The Defenders rushed for more than 200 yards as a team last week for the first time this season and Brown almost doubled his yardage total for the year with the performance.
With the rushing attack back on track, the opposing defense can no longer key on sophomore quarterback Gage Anzulavich, who is quietly having a great sea-son.
Anzulavich has thrown for 527 yards and three touchdowns. He has been intercepted just three times.
But what has been im-pressive is the fact that the sophomore truly doesn’t have a favorite receiver. Anzulavich has completed passes to 10 different receiv-ers this season. Matt Truck-enmiller, Teddy Bender and Matt Gummo have been targeted the most, with Truckenmiller leading the team with 10 catches for 130 yards.
With an experienced of-fensive line, the Defenders have shown the ability to
go on long, time-consuming drives, and that is something they need to do Friday night if they expect to leave Spar-tans Stadium with a win.
Hughesville (3-1) comes into the contest averaging 427 yards a game, and even though they run the Wing-T, the Spartans are very bal-anced.
Melvin Derhammer and Zach Fray are both averag-ing more than 75 yards a game this season, and Ryan McClain gives them a very talented third option.
But what makes the Spar-tans dangerous is the fact that they can throw the ball and throw it very well.
Junior quarterback
Landon Henry is complet-ing 60 percent of his passes and is averaging 180 yards a game. He has yet to be in-tercepted this season.
Fry and Adam Warbur-ton have combined for more than 20 catches this season.
Fry is the possession guy with more the three-quar-ters of the catches, as War-burton has settled into the role of big play-receiver, av-eraging more than 40 yards a catch.

ELIZABETHVILLE — Upper Dauphin will try to get back on the winning track Friday when the Trojans step out of the Tri-Valley League and venture to Boalsburg to take on the Wolves of St. Jo-seph’s Catholic Academy in a nonconference game. Both teams are looking to get into the win column.
St. Joseph’s is 0-4, having lost last week to Purchase Line, 47-18, while Upper Dauphin (1-3) dropped a 61-26 decision to Williams Valley in TVA play. But in the process, the Tro-jans lost a few key players, highlighted by quarterback Aaron Cleveland, who only played one half against the Vikings.
The Wolves lost to UDA last year, 31-16,
“We had some letdowns against Williams Valley last week and they made us pay for our mistakes,” Trojans coach Brent Bell said. “You just have to look at our turn-overs and how they turned those mistakes into points. St. Joseph’s has several out-standing players we have to be concerned with and must find a way to control their passing game.”
Quarterback Mikey Kresovich is the offensive
team leader for the Wolves; he has completed 27 of 39 passes for 577 yards and five touchdowns. In the team’s 26-20 loss to United, he rushed for two touchdowns and threw a 63-yard touch-down pass to Charlie Ross, who is the team’s leading receiver and has three TD receptions, including a 70-yard score against Purchase Line. Adam Watkeys is an-
other dangerous wideout who has three TD catches.
“They run a spread of-fense and have several solid athletes to generate their at-tack,” Bell said. “We will see a bubble screen that Kreso-vich likes to throw and he is also a dangerous runner with the ball.
“Defensively, they have quick linebackers and em-ploy a 3-3 stack and a 6-2, but for our team to be suc-cessful it is important that we get good pressure on the quarterback and not let him get comfortable in the
pocket. It doesn’t seem as if we can concentrate on one running back, because they spread the ball out to several people.
“Getting pressure is going to be key for us because we have struggled so far in try-ing to stop the pass.”
Upper Dauphin, while losing its third game of the season, did get some good news this week as Cleveland appears to be healthy and will play against the Wolves. However, Donny Gelnett gave a solid performance in relief, catching a 78-yard TD pass from Cleveland while throwing a pair of scoring passes, including a pair of 18-yard scoring strikes to Mason Wiest and Colton Laudenslager. The Trojans generated over 351 yards of offense against the Vikings, with Gelnett catching four passes for 106 yards.
“Our attitude has been good at practice and we just have to go out and perform while eliminating mistakes,” Bell said.
Mason and Tyler Wiest will head the running game with Gelnett, Laudenslager and Max Snyder contribut-ing yardage in the passing attack.
“We had positives in the loss to Williams Valley, but we must build upon our suc-cesses in order to come off the field a winner,” Bell said. “This is our get-away game and we are staying overnight and going to see Penn State and Army on Saturday.”

Game Night
By Anne M. PetersonThe Associated Press
Its post-Utah reality set in, Oregon is moving on with some uncertainties.
Now unranked for the first time since 2009, Oregon heads into this weekend’s game at Colorado looking for answers to the many questions that the 62-20 loss to the Utes brought forward.
It could start at quarter-back. The Ducks’ depth chart for the game lists Vernon Adams Jr. or Jeff Lockie at quarterback, the key there being the word “or.”
Adams, a transfer who was deemed Oregon’s starter just prior to the start of the season, has been struggling since he broke his right index finger in the season opener against his former team, Eastern Wash-ington.
Despite the injury, he started in Oregon’s loss at Michigan State in the second week, before sitting out the next week against Georgia State.
He started again against the Utes, but didn’t last the half, making just two of his seven pass attempts. Lockie threw for 139 yards with one touchdown for the Ducks, who fell to 2-2 overall and 0-1 in the Pac-12. He was in-tercepted twice and sacked four times.
If the training staff tells coaches that a player is not ready to go, that’s one thing, coach Mark Helfrich said about the decision to name a starter. Otherwise, the deci-sion is based on who gives the Ducks the best chance to win.
“In general, when you’re trying to get into the psy-chological side of things, the confidence side of things, that’s where it’s most dif-ficult,” he said at his weekly press conference. “A lot of
these guys are very com-petitive guys. They want to be out there no matter what. You weigh that. And we’re always gonna put who we think gives us the best chance out there.”
While the starter at quar-terback is uncertain, Byron Marshall will not play at receiver following an injury against the Utes.
Marshall left the game Saturday night with what appeared to be a right ankle injury. He was hurt on a kickoff return early in the second half and had to be helped off the field by train-ers then taken to the locker room by cart.
The 5-foot-10, 205-pound senior, the team’s leading
receiver last season, has caught nine passes for 121 yards and two touchdowns this season. He ranks 10th on Oregon’s career list with 27 touchdown receptions.
Oregon does not discuss injuries as a policy, so the extent of Marshall’s injury is not known.
Also expect Oregon to address some defensive shortcomings. Helfrich said earlier this week that responsibility for the adjust-ments is falling to the coach-ing staff, not the players.
Oregon had never before allowed 62 points by an opponent at Autzen. The Ducks’ overall defense is ranked 110th among FBS-level teams, with opponents
averaging 474.8 yards a game. Oregon’s opponents are averaging 40.8 points through the first four games, and the Ducks have allowed 301.5 passing yards per game.
Helfrich also said the Ducks won’t veer too much from what has worked in the past.
“It (a loss) is going to hap-pen. How we react to that is under our control. We make constant changes, there’s constant evolution when things are going great,” he said. “And when things aren’t going great everybody wants to point the finger but we are definitely an outfit that is going to keep that in-ternal and make the adjust-
ments and go.”Colorado (3-1) heads into
Pac-12 play riding its first three-game winning streak in seven seasons.
With two losses, Oregon’s chances of returning to col-lege football’s playoffs look dim. According to research done by STATS, a team from a Power Five or BCS automatic-qualifying confer-ence has lost at home by 40 or more points 50 times since 2005.
But only three teams from a Power Five or BCS AQ conference that have had a 40-plus-point home loss have managed to win at least eight games during that season.

911 W. ARCH ST., COAL TOWNSHIP • 570.648.6893 • M-F 8-6PM / SA 7-2PM / SUN 8-1PM
LEXINGTON, Va. — Coming off its only bye week of the 2015 season, Bucknell heads south to face the Vir-ginia Military Institute for the third straight year Sat-urday.
The Bison (2-1) are just three games into the season. But coach Joe Susan says last week’s break was the perfect time for a bye, since it came at roughly the midpoint of their entire season.
“We’ve been together for four weeks in the pre-season and three weeks (of games),” Susan said. “We have eight games left, so it basically divides the season in half. ... It gives us some time to step away and do some self-evaluation.”
When the Bison were as-sessing their season to date, they no doubt liked what they saw in regards to the icewater in their veins. In their game at Cornell on Sept. 19, the Bison were trailing late and facing the very real possibility of head-ing into their bye week on a two-game losing streak. But quarterback R.J. Nitti found Joey DeFloria for a 14-yard scoring strike on 4th-and-10 to lift the Bison to a 19-14
victory over the Big Red.“It shows the depth of
their character in terms of their ability to do that,” Su-san said of his team. “That’s how you win games. And never during that (game-winning drive) did I sense any reservation about the confidence they had about putting it in the end zone.
“(That was) a big confi-dence boost in terms of the togetherness that this team has shown.”
Despite its 2-1 record, Bucknell has struggled
offensively this season. They’ve only scored 43 points, for an average of just over 14 points per game.
“I’d like to average more,” Susan said. “But all you need is more than they have. ... We’re always working on putting the ball in the end zone. Ultimately, as we get more accustomed to having Will Carter in the fold ... we’ll get better and better.”
Susan was referring to ju-nior wide out Will Carter, who missed the first two weeks of the season for an
undisclosed disciplinary reason. He returned against Cornell and caught seven passes for 65 yards and a touchdown.
“One of the things we hope to be able to do (with Carter back), is hit the ex-plosive plays,” Susan said.
While the Bucknell of-fense is still trying to find its groove, the defense has been stellar. The Bison have allowed just 40 points in three games. Sopho-more linebacker Ben Rich-ard leads the team with 23 stops, while senior defensive end Jimmy King has a team-leading three sacks.
The defense will have its work cut out for it in Satur-day’s game (kickoff at 1:30). The Keydets are just 1-3, but their offense is averag-ing more than 27 points per game.
“They are a fast-paced, no huddle team,” Susan said of VMI. “Being able to control the ball and control field position is going to be piv-otal.”
VMI has dropped its last two games to Richmond and Furman. The Keydets tal-lied a combined 31 points in those two setbacks.
“Both Richmond and Furman did a good job of limiting their snaps,” Susan said. “That’s an important part of it.”
The Bison beat the Key-dets in both 2013 and 2014. They played in Lexington in 2013, when Bucknell came away with a 35-23 victory.
“It’s a unique place,” Su-san said of VMI. “(Being) a military academy, for those guys, the best time of day is when they step on the foot-ball field.”
Bucknell returns home next week to open Patriot League play against Le-high. The Bison will then travel to West Point to play an NCAA FBS team for the first time since 2001.

ALLENTOWN — Hav-ing spent 11 total seasons in Allentown, Susquehanna coach Tom Perkovich knows the nooks and crannies of Muhlenburg College’s Scotty Wood Stadium well.
Except for one. That’s the visiting sideline.
“I won’t know how differ-ent that is until I get there,” Perkovich said. “But it is definitely exciting (to head back to Allentown).”
Perkovich and his Crusad-ers (2-2 overall, 1-2 Centen-nial Conference) will trek to Allentown to face the Muhls (2-2, 1-2) on Saturday after-noon, with kickoff slated for 1 p.m.
Susquehanna enters coming off of a 49-30 loss at Gettysburg, a game in which the Crusaders led, 24-7, in the second quarter. That advantage was built on three scoring drives total-ing a combined 35 plays and eating 17 minutes of clock. Those type of drives are of the utmost priority, Perk-ovich noted.
“That’s the type of team we have to be right now,” Perkovich said. “Our de-fensive depth isn’t where we wanted it to be. Tom McLoughlin, our best de-fensive player, hasn’t played in three games after an all-conference performance against Lycoming. We lost a defensive lineman in prac-tice last week. One of our safeties is hurt. We have guys learning on the fly and figuring out what play-ing varsity in college is all about.”
In its last three games, Susquehanna has allowed 47.6 points per game and notched just one sack in its last eight quarters. Line-backer Jim Barry notched 13 tackles against Gettys-burg, and leads the Crusader
D with 52 stops (29 solo). Safety Wyatt Kirkendall, a Warrior Run graduate, will make his first start of 2015 Saturday in the defensive backfield.
Muhlenberg, coming off of a 49-28 setback to Johns Hopkins in which it rolled up 499 yards, collected over 600 yards of offense and 34 first downs two weeks ago against McDaniel.
“There’s definitely no rest for the weary in our league,” Perkovich said. “Offen-sively, they don’t have a lot of holes or concerns.”
Muhlenberg is fronted by quarterback Chad Palla-dino, whom Perkovich noted has over 5,000 career yards passing in only two seasons. In four 2015 games, Pal-ladino has thrown for 857 yards and 10 touchdowns
and rushed for another 271 yards and one score.
“He’s probably the top QB in the league,” Perkovich said of Palladino. “He’s thrown for a lot of yards — even more than when I was there — and everything feeds off of him.”
The Crusaders’ ground game has started to rev its engine, totaling 202 yards against the Bullets a week ago. In its last two games, SU is averaging 172 yards per game on the ground.
“That absolutely helps us with being unpredictable and balanced,” Perkovich said. “Cam (RB Cameron Ott) is getting more com-fortable behind the offensive line and the kids collectively are getting more comfort-able with the scheme.”
Ott rushed for a season-
best 124 yards against Get-tysburg with one touch-down. Quarterback Nick Crusco added two rushing scores and converted three fourth downs. Crusco has rushed for five touchdowns and thrown four others over the previous two weeks.
“We definitely want to keep them guessing and be balanced with the run and the pass,” Perkovich said. “They’re similar to Hopkins in that if you get into third-and-long, they’ll make life miserable for you.”
Perkovich knows Saturday won’t be easy, but he’s opti-mistic at the same time.
“With everything we’ve been through, there are a lot of people out there who doubt us,” he said. “But I know we have the ability to compete (with Muhlenberg).”

BLOOMSBURG — It ap-pears the Bloomsburg Hus-kies are finding their stride.
And it couldn’t have come at a better time.
Bloomsburg (2-2 overall, 1-0 PSAC East) will be look-ing to jump to a 2-0 start in conference play as it hosts Cheyney (0-4, 0-1) on Sat-urday afternoon at Redman Stadium, with kickoff slated for 2 p.m.
The Huskies took to the road last Saturday to gain their first conference win of the season, and it was an important one, as Blooms-burg’s defense stood tall and stifled host Shippensburg, 17-6, in Franklin County.
Now, Bloomsburg shifts its attention to a game, and se-ries, it has dominated since first facing off with Cheyney in 1960. The Huskies haven’t lost to the Wolves since 1989, and are 22-5 overall at home in a series it leads overall, 45-9-1.
Another item that stands out: Bloomsburg’s ground game a week ago against Shippensburg.
The bread-and-butter formula of the Huskies’ of-fense wound up amassing a season-high 352 yards out of the team’s 482 (which was also a season high), and that rushing performance was the final yield of 47 carries — an average of 7.5 yards per attempt.
Lawrence Elliott Jr. leads the PSAC in average rush-ing yards per game, and he added to that in a big way against the Red Raiders, recording 157 yards and a touchdown to boost his sea-son tally to 451 yards on 76 carries.
But Elliott wasn’t the only key cog churning out chucks of terra firma last Saturday. Joe Parsnik broke a 3-3 tie with his second touchdown of the season in the third
quarter. Parsnik has 252 yards on 62 carries. And the emergence of freshman Alex Gooden, who posted 107 yards against Ship, gives Bloom a three-pronged at-tack behind quarterback Tim Kelly, who threw for 130 yards and has amassed 486 yards passing.
The Huskies offense, which has surged over the last two weeks to average over 340 yards per game, will surely be licking its chops against a Cheyney de-fense which has yielded an average of over 41 points per game.
Defensively, Bloomsburg has been relentless, espe-cially in its last three sec-ond halves, where only a Shippensburg field goal has dented the scoreboard over those six quarters.
Jerrin Toomey and Mark Collins each have 15 solo tackles for the Huskies, and Joe Wetty’s five tackles for loss have all been quarter-back sacks. Toomey leads the unit with a pair of inter-ceptions.
Cheyney enters Satur-day’s game averaging 217.8 yards and 8.5 points per game. Quarterback Domin-
ick Trautz has passed for 322 yards and three scores while back Brandon French has rushed for 194 yards on 48 carries.
Defensively, the Wolves are allowing over 390 yards per game, including more than 200 on the ground. Keyson Dingle has posted a team-high 23 tackles, while Rashod Knight and Terrick Carson have combined to notch 12 tackles for loss.
Julian Feggins adds 2.5 sacks and Shaquille Benja-min has picked off a pair of passes for the Wolves.

By Mark WogenrichThe Allentown Morning Call
Penn State coach James Franklin delivered one bit of good news Tuesday re-garding injuries. Beyond that, he wouldn’t commit to when those players, includ-ing running back Saquon Barkley, might return.
Franklin said at his weekly news conference that none of the injuries players sus-tained last Saturday against San Diego State was season-ending. The injured play-ers included running backs Akeel Lynch and Barkley, safety Marcus Allen and de-fensive end Evan Schwan.
The Penn State coach said he expects Allen and fellow safety Jordan Lucas, who did not play against the Aztecs, to return for this week’s game against Army West Point. Beyond that, Franklin stuck to his policy about discussing injured players — which is to do so very little.
“From everything I know, none of them are season-ending injuries,” Franklin said. “We anticipate get-ting them all back, whether it’s this week or next week, we’ll see. We’ll see how the week goes, how they heal.”
Not discussing injuries in-depth has been one of Franklin’s core policies since becoming a head coach at Vanderbilt. He will address whether injuries are season-ending — such as those to Adam Breneman last year and Nyeem Wartman-White this year — but is reluctant to go beyond that.
Franklin said his reason stems from a combination of player privacy and the cost-benefit for the program.
“It’s personal information to the young man, his family and our football program,” Franklin said. “In the com-petitive aspect, for myself, I want to know if a guy (on
the opposing team) is play-ing as early as I possibly can, as that will affect how we game plan and how we defend those guys.”
If Barkley, the team’s leading rusher out of White-hall High, and Lynch can’t play this week, that will af-fect Penn State’s offensive approach against Army West Point. The top run-ning backs would be red-shirt freshmen Nick Scott, Mark Allen and, potentially, Johnathan Thomas.
Scott and Allen have promising speed: Franklin, in fact, called Scott perhaps the team’s “biggest home-run threat.” He also can throw, having completed a 32-yard halfback option pass to Chris Godwin in the fourth quarter.
Allen, at 5-6, gets yards-after-contact by making de-fenders miss. Allen showed that on a second-quarter screen pass from Chris-
tian Hackenberg, which he turned into a 13-yard touch-down.
“Mark is probably more of our slash, make-you-miss-type of running back,” Franklin said. “He’s very, very explosive. He’s very confident; the only thing that moves faster than his feet is his mouth.
“You can make the argu-ment that maybe (Scott) is our fastest guy. Biggest home run threat of all of them. I think Nick has got a
chance to be a special run-ning back for us as he con-tinues to grow and get stron-ger. But I’m really excited to watch those two guys play on Saturday, depending on how the week plays out.”
Thomas, meanwhile, has not played because of in-juries dating to last week. Franklin said Thomas might have been in the running back rotation if not for the “setbacks.” But Thomas was in uniform last week and could see action Saturday.
