MIFFLINBURG — One win to get into the District 4 Class AA playoffs.

That’s all Lewisburg needs despite some midsea-son struggles.

Standing in its way — only its rival — Mifflinburg.

“Records mean absolutely nothing,” Lewisburg coach Michael Ferriero said. “The only thing Mifflinburg has to play for is to ruin our sea-son and they certainly can if they win.”

Lewisburg currently sits at No. 6 in the District 4 Class AA standings, but distance between No. 4 Montours-ville and the final qualifier — No. 8 Danville — is just 80 points, meaning the final home game in the first round is still up for grabs.

The Wildcats host the Heartland Athletic Con-ferenc e - i nterd iv i s iona l matchup as one of the hot-test teams in the area with

three vic-tories in a row after starting the season 0-6. Mifflinburg has found its run-ning game

thanks to junior back B r a y d e n

Pierce, who had 249 yards last week against Shamokin and is 82 yards short of 1,000 for the season.

That has been the Green Dragons’ defense Achilles’ heel this season, but one positive is that Lewisburg played its best against the run against Warrior Run in last week’s 35-7 victory. The Green Dragons allowed just negative eight yards in the first half and just 23 yards total in the game against the Defenders.

“We came out with an in-tensity I haven’t seen — it was there a little bit against Southern — going all the

way back to the Selins-grove scrim-mage the first week of the season,” F e r r i e r o said. “We heard pads

popping on defense. We had gang

tackling. That was what was really exciting to see.

“It was so encouraging.”The linebackers led the

way for the Green Dragons, as four linebackers (Trey Delbaugh, Spencer Barlett, Dominic Farronato and Ben Higgins) had at least six tackles in the victory.

In addition to Pierce on the ground, Mifflinburg has gotten improved quar-terback play from fresh-man Josh Foster as the year as worn on. Foster hasn’t thrown an interception in the Wildcats’ three-game winning streak. Mifflinburg had a minus 19 turnover

margin in its six-game losing streak and is plus two dur-ing its three-game winning streak.

Foster has thrown for 706 yards and five touchdowns this season. His favorite tar-gets have been Tristian Mar-tin (30 catches, 328 yards) and Brian Zimmerman (23 catches, 413 yards).

The Wildcats have also been outstanding on special teams this season. Mifflin-burg leads the area with five kickoff-return touchdowns, led by Martin, who has two.

Mifflinburg’s defense will certainly be tested by the top passing offense in the area. Senior quarterback Trent Gower leads the area in yards (1,707) and touch-downs (24). Matt Fedor-jaka leads the area with 41 catches for 557 yards five scores. Noah Inch is aver-aging 19.1 yards per catch on his 36 grabs and is tops in the area in touchdown catches with 11.

SELINSGROVE — Mak-ing predictions in August for a game in November is noth-ing but pure guess work.

But most area football fans hoped in the back of their heads that by the time Nov. 6 rolled around that Friday night’s Heartland Athletic Conference inter-divisional matchup between Selinsgrove and Southern Columbia would feature a battle of undefeated teams.

Fans got their wish.Southern Columbia brings

a 40-game regular-season winning streak into Harold L. Bolig Memorial Field and has won the last five games in the series with the Seals. Selinsgrove is looking to fin-ish the regular season unde-feated for the first time since the state title season in 2009 — or, the last time the Seals beat Southern Columbia.

Both teams enter the con-test with outstanding rush-ing offenses — the Seals led by tailback Juvon Batts (98 carries, 1,112 yards, 13 touchdowns), while the Ti-gers’ two-headed halfback tandem of Hunter Thomas (52-719, 13 TDs) and Blake Marks (66-683, 13 TDs) has

done most of the damage.However, both coaches

think the passing game is going to be key for both squads.

“With a senior quarter-back in (Nick) Becker, I don’t think anything is out of their comfort zone on of-fense,” Selinsgrove coach Derek Hicks said. “They run the ball so well, but Becker can sling it out there to those running backs, and we have certainly have to be away of (Steve) Toczylousky.”

Becker has thrown for 1,042 yards and 14 touch-downs this season. Toczy-lousky has been his favorite target with 19 catches for 523 yards and 10 touchdowns, but Thomas (16 catches, four TDs) and Marks (10 catches) are also weapons out of the backfield.

The Seals are also com-fortable going to their pass-ing game. It’s a strategy that worked well two weeks ago against Jersey Shore, when sophomore quarterback Logan Leiby threw for 300 yards in a victory against the Bulldogs. Leiby also threw five touchdowns in the win over Milton last week.

“I’ve been saying all year when you get into big games

like this and later in the playoffs, you have to be bal-anced,” Hicks said. “The way Logan has been play-ing, he’s going to be huge this week.”

Southern Columbia coach Jim Roth has certainly been impressed with the strides Leiby (68 percent comple-tion, 1,404 yards, 17 TDs) has made in his sophomore season.

“They throw the ball so well. Even if we are able to control the running game (the Tigers have allowed a total of negative 56 yards on the ground over the past two weeks and 2.8 yards per

carry this season), they have so many weapons in the passing game,” Roth said. “You hear a lot about Batts, but they certainly aren’t one dimensional. They have two really good receivers in (Nick Swineford) and (Colin Hoke) and when they split out Batts, that gives them three weapons downfield in the passing game.”

Hoke leads the Seals with 34 catches with 448 yards and five scores. Swineford has 25 catches with a team-high 504 yards and five scores. Batts chips in with 15 catches and three touch-down grabs.

By Chris NagyThe Daily Item

MOUNT CARMEL — Getting your team up for a must-win game sometimes is hard.

Good thing for Mount Carmel coach John Darrah he will have no such prob-lem this week as his squad prepares to play arch-rival Shamokin in the annual Coal Bucket game at the Sil-ver Bowl.

“Getting the kids ready for this game is not a problem,” he said. “The kids are always ready to play Shamokin.

“Winning this game means a lot to them.”

A win Friday night is what Mount Carmel (5-4) needs to keep its playoff hopes alive. The Red Tornadoes currently sit in ninth in the District 4 Class AA stand-ings with 720 points — 90 points out of the eighth and final playoff spot. Mount Carmel not only needs a win over the Indians (2-7), but they need a loss by one of the three teams in front of them — Danville, Troy and Lewisburg — and maybe even some more help to get into the playoffs.

But with all of that go-ing on around them, the Tornadoes are focused on the team that hasn’t beaten them since 1995 — a string of 19 straight which is a re-cord for the series.

“We know what we have to do,” said Darrah. “One of the games that concern us is not played until Sat-urday and the kids will not be scoreboard watching the other ones.

“We are focused on Shamokin.”

After losing two straight by the combined score of 83-0, Mount Carmel has re-bounded with a two-game winning streak in which it has averaged more than 50 points a game (101-43).

Add to the fact that run-

ning back Kyle Karycki is back on track, and Mount Carmel is starting to look like the team it was a month ago.

“Kyle is running hard right now,” said Darrah.

That is an understatement by the Mount Carmel coach.

The senior back broke the school record for rushing for the second time this season last Friday, as he ran for 392 yards against Central Columbia. Karycki has 651 yards in the last two games and more than 1,600 this season.

Freshman quarterback

John Ayers also looks to be back to his early-season form after suffering an injury. He rushed for 115 yards and threw for 74 against Cen-tral last week in running the Red Tornadoes’ shotgun-wing offense.

Shamokin comes into the game on the heels of a four-game losing skid and would like nothing better than end-ing the season with a win over the Red Tornadoes and ruining their rivals’ playoff chances.

The Indians, who have had problems all season with inexperience at the quarter-

back position, rely on run-ning back Preston Burns to set the pace with the of-fense. The senior tailback has rushed for almost 1,000 yards this season.

Last season’s Coal Bucket game went to overtime and it’s a memory that is still fresh with the Red Torna-does.

“It was a tough game last year,” said Darrah. “But we have to stay focus on this year.

“We have had a great week of hard practices and the kids are ready to play Shamokin on Friday night.”

MILTON — With both teams’ fate already sealed, Friday night’s Heartland Athletic Conference Di-vision I finale for Shikel-lamy and Milton holds little meaning playoff-wise at Alumni Field.

The Braves have a date with Jersey Shore next week on the road in the first round of the District 4 Class AAA playoffs, while the Black Panthers’ season will come to an end.

However, Shikellamy would like to wipe away the taste of a 17-10 loss to Dan-ville a week ago after upset-ting previously undefeated Loyalsock.

A win allows the Braves to finish .500 after starting the year 1-4.

“Our kids need to find a way to fight back to 5-5,” Shikellamy coach Todd Tilford said. “Then, anything can happen in the playoffs.”

The key of course for Shikellamy’s defense will be stopping Milton fullback Brandon Stokes. Stokes, playing his final scholastic football game, has rushed for 1,071 yards this year and is just another in a long line of tough HAC-I running backs the Braves have faced this season. (Montours-ville’s Keith Batkowski, Jer-sey Shore’s Levi Lorson and Selinsgrove’s Juvon Batts have all topped 1,000 yards), while Mifflinburg’s Brayden Pierce and Shamokin’s Pres-ton Burns all have a shot to crack the century-mark the final week of the season.)

“There have been so many tough runners in the HAC this year,” Tilford lamented. “Stokes is as good as any of them. He can make you miss or lower his shoulder and run through you. We need to be aware of him at all times.”

Fellow senior Raff Rodri-guez has been the lighting to Stokes’ thunder this sea-son. Rodriguez is second on the squad with 595 yards on the ground.

The Braves defense played well against the Ironmen, allowing just one offensive touchdown. Line-backer Owen Long was all over the field again, record-ing 16 tackles, while Shawn Turber picked off his area-best 10th pass of the sea-son. Shikellamy has picked

off 19 passes (second in the area behind Danville’s 21) and has forced 27 turnovers this season.

Tuber has been key on the offensive end with a team-high 537 yards on the ground and seven scores, along with 30 catches for 473 yards and another three scores.

Fullback Gabe Tilford adds 473 yards on the ground, including 108 last week. He also had 12 tack-les at linebacker.

Senior quarterback Chris-

tian Schlegel has played bet-ter over the past five weeks. After six interceptions the first three weeks, Schlegel has thrown just two over the past six. For the season, the senior has completed 66 of 129 passes for 959 yards and five touchdowns.

In addition to Turber, junior Trey Cunningham averages 13 yards per catch and 17 grabs on the season. Cunningham had first var-sity touchdown catch last week against Danville.

By Chris NagyThe Daily Item

TURBOTVILLE — While everyone is talking about the amazing turn-around for his squad, play-off predictions and where his Danville team might end up, Jim Keiser only wants to talk about one thing and one thing only — Warrior Run.

“They beat us pretty good at our place last year and I know (Warrior Run coach) Mark Burrows will have his kids ready,” said Keiser. “We just need to focus on the thing at hand and that is Friday night.

“The kids understand that and we will be ready.”

Danville (6-3) has won four straight and is sitting in the eighth spot for the Dis-trict 4 Class AA playoffs.

So it’s simple for the Iron-men: A win against Warrior Run (3-6) on Friday night will put them in the playoffs.

“There is a lot of talk about playoffs, but the only thing we can control is what we do Friday night,” said Keiser.

The Ironmen are coming off a big win against Shikel-lamy and look to be firing on all cylinders as the of-fense looks to be clicking and the defense continues to be outstanding.

“Our offense is finally starting to play the way we expected it to,” said Keiser. “I’m not saying I’m com-pletely happy with it, be-cause we still have things to work on.

“But we continue to im-prove and those kids are working hard to get the job done.”

Danville is averaging more than 200 yards a game on the ground and, just like last week, is doing a great job of controlling the time of possession and keeping the other team’s offense off the field.

Junior Trent Hilkert has

more than 1,100 yards on the ground this season and sophomore Ryan Palm has emerged as another weapon out of the backfield.

Even though Warrior Run has lost three straight, the Defenders are still a danger-ous team as they are coming off loses against Southern Columbia, Mount Carmel and Lewisburg.

The defensive front for Warrior Run is experienced and Pacey Howard and Ty Nicholas are putting in sea-sons that will get them no-ticed when all-star squads are selected.

The offense is also a con-cern for Keiser and the Iron-men.

“They have a very expe-rienced and very good of-fensive front,” he said. “We have to be ready for them.”

The Defenders have used a running-back-by-committee all season with Tyler Brown seeing most of the workload with Tony Null, Noah Show-ers and Ty Kirkner also con-tributing.

Warrior Run sophomore quarterback Gage Anzulav-ich has put in a solid season and has thrown for more than 1,000 yards. He has

spread the ball around well, hitting 10 different receivers. He’s been intercepted only five times, which is good as he gets ready to face one of, if not the best secondary around in the Ironmen.

The trio of Matt Meloy, Peyton and Colton Riley has led a team that has an area-high 22 interceptions.

“We knew we had great a kids and great athletes back there, but those three have taken it to another level,” said Keiser. “(Defensive coordinator Bill) Freeman has put them in great situa-tions with his schemes and his game plans and the kids work so hard to do what they do.”

ALMEDIA — Rivalry games, especially the back-yard variety that is Blooms-burg-Central Columbia, are fun for everyone involved.

Bloomsburg coach An-thony Russo has coached in many of them in his career and he knows there will be a big crowd and a lot of ex-citement Friday night when his Panthers visit Blue Jay Stadium to take on Central Columbia in a Heartland Athletic Conference cross-over game.

But, at least for the visi-tors, this one is about more than just fun and games and year-long bragging rights. Bloomsburg is still fighting for a playoff berth.

“I believe if we win and Canton loses (Friday at home versus Troy), we will outpoint (Canton) and be in the Eastern Conference playoffs,” Russo said this week.

The first-year head coach said that with a young team (he starts as many as seven underclassmen), getting an extra week or two of foot-ball will help build for the future.

Nevertheless, Central Columbia coach Jason Hip-penstiel believes the game is equally important for his squad, which has had a dis-appointing 1-8 season.

“This is our playoff game,” said Hippenstiel, who said his team will need to play error-free to be able to de-feat Bloomsburg (3-6).

“Bloomsburg will give us a heavy dose of run, so we need to play better in the front eight this week,” Hip-penstiel said.

Last week, the Jays ral-lied through the air to erase a huge early deficit to put up 30 points in a loss at Mount Carmel.

“I like how we responded

in the passing game with (junior quarterback) Aaron Farver having his best day as a starter,” Hippenstiel added.

The Central coach said, “Truly, records don’t mat-ter (in this game), so it will be intense. You add the fact that we haven’t won this one in a decade, there should be no other reason to motivate our guys other than that.”

Russo, noting that Central has lost to a lot of quality teams — including Selins-grove and Southern Colum-bia — said, “They are a very dangerous team. It’s going to be an exciting matchup.”

He said, “They are very potent offensively. The quarterback does a nice job and we’ve got to be ready for that,” Russo said.

Russo said the Jays’ come-

back at Mount Carmel was impressive.

“I give them credit,” he said. “They didn’t go down, they hung in and this will definitely be a tough game.”

As for the Panthers, Russo said, “I am really excited about the program. We’ve got some young kids and we’re moving in the right di-rection.”

By Marion ValanoskiFor The Daily Item

ELIZABETHVILLE — They’ll be celebrating senior night Friday at Trojans Sta-dium. However, coach Brent Bell is hoping his players are thinking past the pregame celebrations and focusing all their energies on the team across the field. Because Upper Dauphin is not out of it yet.

“It doesn’t look great for the District 3 tournament, but there may be the pos-sibility still of the Eastern Conference Playoffs,” Bell said. “So we are not playing a meaningless game, but we have something to play for and we’ll go after it — but it’s not going to be easy.”

The Trojans will be facing a Blackhawks squad (5-4) still hoping to qualify for the postseason after coming off a 42-7 shellacking last week by Juniata and needing a road victory in its last reg-ular-season contest. UDA will be going up against a

Susquenita squad that is very run-oriented and rarely looks to throw the ball. Kevin Kenny is the offen-sive catalyst for the team; he has already rushed for 1,173 yards on 219 carries while scoring 11 touchdowns, in-cluding a game-high 170 yards in last week’s loss.

Susquenita has gained 1,284 yards on the ground with just 399 coming through the air. Nathan Kessler has completed 25 of 57 passes for 273 yards and four TDs, with the top receiver being Michael Neumayer with 16 catches for 219 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

Should the Blackhawks come off the field victori-ous, it would be their first winning campaign since 2012 when the team finished 7-4. They were a combined 1-19-1 the past two years.

UDA is not devoid of tal-ent itself, and will be count-ing on the all-around talents of senior quarterback Aaron Cleveland. Cleveland has shown he is adept at running

the ball and has no problem setting up in the pocket and throwing downfield to a bevy of solid receivers. Ma-son Wiest has turned out to be a find as the fresh-man runner has been a big contributor to the offense, along with Tyler Wiest and Donny Gelnett. Gelnett has filled in at quarterback and proved to be effective. The Trojans can also turn to a trio of solid receivers in Max Snyder, Zach Rebuck and Colton Laudenslager.

The Trojans have proved they can be tough against the run, as they held state-ranked Camp Hill to under 50 yards on the ground. With the Blackhawks primarily running the ball, it could play right into the strength of the Upper Dauphin de-fense.

“Offensively, Kenny is our primary worry and they not only line him up at running back, but he also gets under center and plays quarter-back,” Bell said. “They run a multiple offense and also

have a good-sized fullback to lead the way for Kenny on running plays.

“Defensively, they employ a 4-4, and I expect to see eight guys up in the box to try and stop the run. Each week we try to find ways to exploit an opponent and this week will be no differ-ent. We’ll go with whatever is working and if it means throwing the football more than normal, then that’s what we will do.”

Whatever presents itself and how successful we are at taking advantage of that situation should determine our outcome.”

UDA came away with a 35-28 victory last year against Susquenita and Bell is hoping another home vic-tory means an extra week or two of football.

“First we must prove our-selves on the field,” Bell said. “Then we must hope all the calculations at the end of the week comes up in our favor.”

The Triplets


LEWISBURG — At first glance without pads, you’d be hard-pressed to tell they were football players.

Athletes, yes, but maybe not football players.

And by this time next year, none of them probably will be football players.

However, for the past two seasons, quarterback Trent Gower and receivers Noah Inch and Matt Fedorjaka have formed the backbone

of the top passing offense in the Central Susquehanna Valley.

Right now, none of the three plan to play football in college. Gower plans on trying golf, because — believe it or not — he hasn’t gotten a single letter about football. Inch is an outstanding left-handed pitcher who has committed to Shippensburg University, while Fedorjaka is headed to Division I Fairfield to play lacrosse.

The three entered their junior seasons with more experience as players in the Delaware Wing-T of-fense than in then first-year coach Michael Ferriero’s spread attack. None of the three played much offense as sophomores — with Fedorjaka’s six catches for 73 yards being the largest contributor — so with a new offense and new skill position players, the Green Dragons offense was an unknown.

Gower was locked in a competition with fellow ju-nior Trent Henger; Gower didn’t win the job until the second scrimmage with Shamokin.

“It was a battle. I needed to really know what we had getting the job late,” said Ferriero, who took over in April of 2014. “We just had them battle at every practice, at every seven-on-seven camp, and (we) made a decision after the second scrimmage. Gower was

Matt Fedorjaka congratulates Noah Inch after the latter scored a touchdown in a game earlier this season.

able to step up. He showed leadership qualities on the field and in the huddle and obviously played well.

“I’m certainly glad I made the choice considering what he’s done the last two years.”

Entering the final regular-season game of his senior season, it’s believed that Gower already holds all the major passing records at the Union County school. He’s thrown for 3,142 yards and 39 touchdowns in 20 games while completing 217 of 402 passes.

His classmates also certainly liked Ferriero’s choice in quarterbacks. Gower and Inch have played together for 10 years, includ-ing midgets. And Gower had a hand in Fedorjaka coming out for the sport for the first time in ninth grade.

“I’ve been playing with Gower since midgets. I

think this our 10th year together, now. We’ve grown up having the connection,” Inch said. “It’s translated pretty well to varsity foot-ball.”

“I’m a little more unique,” Fedorjaka said. “Gower is the one that got me to play four years ago. He’s been my football guy that’s really helped since I started play-ing.”

Fedorjaka and Inch also have a competitive nature to their friendship. As both wide receivers and defensive backs, the two end up going up against each other in practice.

“Noah’s been my fierc-est competitor. We came up to varsity together and we play the same positions going both ways,” Fedorjaka said. “We’ve been compet-ing together for four years. I have a great bond with both of these guys.”

And both receivers complement each other. Inch is the speed and big-play guy. He has 36 catches for 686 yards this season for 11 touchdowns — the yards and touchdowns lead the area. For his career, it’s also believed Inch has the school record for receiving yards (1,268) and touchdown grabs (18).

Fedorjaka is the clas-sic possession receiver at 6-foot-3, 175 pounds. Fedo-rjaka leads the area and is second in District 4 in re-ceptions with 41 this season. He has 81 catches for 1,046 yards and eight touchdowns in his career.

“Noah can turn any hitch into a long touchdown and Fed is just a big, tall pos-session receiver for Gower to look for when we need that first down,” Ferriero said. “Those two weapons are great to have coming

into try to work a new of-fense (when I took over). These are three smart kids that know the game and it allowed me to do different things to get the ball in their hands.”

With all of the talent com-ing back this season, the Green Dragons had high hopes coming into the 2015 season.

“Our goal coming into the season was to win a district championship,” Fedorjaka said.

After a strong start to the season, the Green Dragons endured a stretch of three games where they struggled with one-win Central Columbia along with back-to-back losses to Danville and Southern Columbia. They didn’t expect to be in a win-or-possibly-go-home situation on the final week of the season.

“To be honest, it has been

kind of a disappointing year,” Inch said. “But we are 1-0 (they beat Warrior Run last week to get back on track) and we have a big game this Friday against Mifflinburg.”

“We have to remember to put together our best effort every game,” Gower added.

Fedorjaka said despite some midseason struggles, a win over Mifflinburg on Friday night still keeps the Green Dragons on track for their goals.

“Look at a team like Montoursville last year — who lost some early games,” Fedorjaka said. “Who came back to win the district title?”

(Montoursville, if you didn’t know).

“It brought us back down to earth, but we just have to take it as a learning experi-ence and have it help us a team.”

MANDATA— Line Mountain may have been eliminated from District 4 playoff contention with its loss to Williams Valley last week, but the Eagles are still very much alive for a berth in the Eastern Con-ference playoffs. A win over East Juniata in the regular-season finale should lock up a postseason berth. And after the way Rodney Knock’s team started the season, playing deeper into November is something it would very much like to ex-perience.

“That is something we’ve talked about and we want to take care of business this week or that’s not even a possibility,” said Knock. “We’re excited to finish the season strong and it’s se-nior night, so we’re looking forward to a good week of practice.”

In order for the Eagles to finish strong, it will come down to doing two things that they did well in their three-game winning streak, but not as well last week. Those are tackling defen-sively and finishing drives offensively.

“We tackled really well over that three-game stretch, but that — as well as big plays given up in the secondary — was a big part of our lack of success last week,” said Knock. “Of-fensively, we moved the ball, but we didn’t convert on fourth-and-short and some third-and-shorts. We got into the red zone, but couldn’t finish drives and punch it in.”

East Juniata, on the other hand, has been eliminated from postseason conten-tion. But coach George Miskinis sees this game as another opportunity for development as his young

team continues the learning process.

“Our players are learning how to prepare for games and what it takes to be suc-cessful,” said Miskinis. “We find out what we’re made of each week and we’re getting closer and closer to what we need to do to win. We just have to keep working at it, so hopefully this week builds for next year and off-season workouts.”

Miskinis’ biggest con-cern about Line Mountain is defending its dive option,

something that East Juniata doesn’t see very often.

“Everything in their of-fense revolves around the dive option,” said Miskinis. “Their quarterback (Kurt Mace) is a senior and is fa-miliar with weaknesses in each defense, so that can make for a difficult time de-fending this scheme. We’ll have to play good assign-ment football to stop them. We’re facing a team that’s physically bigger than us, so we must use our quickness and not let them control the

ball and the clock.” For his part, Knock feels

that East Juniata is better than its 2-7 record and is ex-pecting a tough matchup.

“They have been in every game except maybe one or two, and they played New-port tough,” said Knock. “They’re scrappy defen-sively and fly to the football. On offense, they run a lot of plays out of the Wing-T set and will run similar plays out of different formations, so we need to keep it simple for our kids.”

By Todd StanfordThe Daily Item

NEW YORK — With three weeks left in the regular season, the Patriot League football champion-ship is still up for grabs. In fact, six of the league’s seven teams are within two games of each other at the top of the standings.

Bucknell, which was picked to finish second in the preseason but dropped its first two league games, can get right back toward the top of the heap with a win in the Bronx on Saturday. The Bison play defending league champion and preseason fa-vorite Fordham in a game that has big implications for the league race.

“You have no idea how the league is going to work out,” Bison coach Joe Su-san said. “They (Fordham) have a dent in their armor. ... I told our team, take care of what you can take care of, and that’s what’s right in front of us.”

The “dent” Susan was referring to was the Rams’ 31-29 loss to Colgate last week. Now the Raiders lead the PL with a 3-0 record in league play. Bucknell travels to Colgate to close out the regular season on Nov. 21.

The Bison are coming off their first league win of the season, as they rallied in the fourth quarter to top host Lafayette last week. 35-24.

It was the third time this season Bucknell (4-4, 1-2 PL) was down in the fourth quarter but still managed to pull out a win.

“It’s a testament to them in terms of their resilience,” Susan said. “And that’s also how we coach them.”

Not only did Bucknell rally again last week, but the Bison had their highest point total of the year with 35.

“It was good to see (quar-

terback R.J. Nitti) take the next step,” Susan said. “And our ability to mix the run and the pass was critical.”

Nitti threw for 241 yards and four touchdowns against the Leopards.

Unfortunately for the Bi-son, they also lost running back C.J. Williams to a head injury. Williams missed two games earlier in the season due to concussion protocol. Susan that the junior will not play against Fordham.

In his stead, senior Matt DelMauro will get the call. DelMauro ran for 107 yards on 12 carries last week.

“DelMauro came in and really ran behind his pads and did what we asked him to do,” Susan said. “It’s a re-flection of how well the of-fensive line blocked.”

The Rams come into the game with a 7-2 record (3-1 PL). Fordham rallied back from a 21-3 deficit last week

against Colgate, but a po-tentially tying 2-point con-version attempt at the end of regulation was denied when a Raiders defender knocked down the pass.

Not only will Fordham be looking to get back on the winning track Saturday, the Rams will also bring a two-game winning streak against the Bison into the game. Fordham pulled out a three-point win in overtime last year and beat Bucknell by

two the last time the teams met in New York in 2013.

The Rams are led by run-ning back Chase Edmonds. He leads the Patriot League with 1,444 yards on 205 car-ries for a 7.0 yards-per-carry average. He also has 18 rush-ing touchdowns.

“The success of Ford-ham’s offense goes through Chase Edmonds,” Susan said. “(He’s) one of the bet-ter backs I’ve seen at this level.”

SELINSGROVE — For-get the fact that Susque-hanna University’s upcom-ing opponent — McDaniel — hasn’t won a game all season.

Tom Perkovich is not buy-ing the notion a victory is but an afterthought, espe-cially after the Green Ter-ror’s narrow loss to Juniata College just days ago.

“We need to win and win badly,” Perkovich said. “We’re treating McDaniel as we would any good foot-ball team. Their kids are playing hard and playing tough. They have speed and talent.”

The Crusaders (3-5 over-all, 2-5 Centennial Confer-ence) will roll out the red carpet for the Green Ter-ror (0-8, 0-7) on Saturday afternoon at Nicholas Lop-ardo Stadium in a 1 p.m. kickoff.

McDaniel enters Satur-day’s game coming off of a 20-7 defeat to Juniata. Susquehanna held a 7-3 halftime lead over Franklin & Marshall on the road, but the host Diplomats rallied for 13 points in a span of 13 offensive snaps for a 16-7 victory.

Susquehanna still has a chance to finish 5-5 over-all, which would mark the program’s first nonlosing season since 2012, when it finished 6-4.

“I’ve told the guys to only think about one game in-stead of two games,” Perk-ovich said. “We’ve always preached taking one game at a time.”

Though surrendering over 450 yards and 38 points per game, McDaniel’s defen-sive line has put up quite a stat line, especially juniors Raymond Doh and Andy Ullmann. The duo has com-bined for 19.5 tackles for loss and 10.5 sacks. A week

ago, Susquehanna allowed five tackles for loss and three sacks to F&M’s defen-sive line.

“Their defensive line does a nice job pushing upfield,” Perkovich noted. “Our of-fensive line needs to step up and not allow McDaniel to push us around. Anytime we’re moving backward and they’re moving forward, that’s not good.”

Speaking of moving for-ward, that was something sophomore receiver Dia-mente Holloway did fre-quently against the F&M defense last week. He car-ried once for 23 yards on a jet sweep and hauled in 10 passes for 122 yards. That performance moved Hol-

loway to 589 yards receiv-ing, tops on the team, and to second with 39 catches, averaging 15.1 yards per re-ception.

“He’s a special player, and he’s only a sophomore,” Perkovich said of Holloway. “It should be neat watching him these next few seasons with our quarterback (Nick Crusco). He’s a big-play player.”

Crusco eclipsed the 1,800 yard mark of total offense for the Crusaders on Satur-day. He’s thrown for 1,604 yards and 13 touchdowns and added 277 yards rush-ing (second on the team) with six scores.

Defensively, linebacker Tom McLoughlin turned

in another stalwart perfor-mance against F&M, total-ing 11 tackles (seven alone in the first half), one sack and a pass breakup. C.J. Williams picked off his sec-ond pass in as many games against F&M.

The SU defense will be pitted against a Green Ter-ror offense which aver-ages 16.3 points per game. Backup quarterback Will Koester is averaging 31 pass attempts per game, while back Tayahd Campbell leads the team with 577 yards on the ground.

Mike Oliveto is McDan-iel’s lone receiver with more than 40 catches; he has 44 for 444 yards.

BLOOMSBURG — Two weeks ago, Bloomsburg University found itself in the driver’s seat of the PSAC East Division. Now, it’s all about finishing strong and snapping a two-game losing streak.

The Huskies (5-4 over-all, 4-2 PSAC East) return home to Redman Stadium on Saturday afternoon to host Lock Haven (2-7, 2-4 PSAC West) in a conference crossover game, which will kick off at 2 p.m.

Lock Haven saw its two-game winning streak snapped in a 34-20 loss to Kutztown, while Blooms-burg saw a 21-3 first half advantage evaporate as East Stroudsburg roared to life with a 25-point second half to rally for a 35-34 victory.

It wasn’t that there weren’t impressive notes from the ESU game for the Huskies. There were.

Mark Collins had quite a day on defense, recording a pair of interceptions of Warriors quarterback Matt Soltes. ESU didn’t record a passing touchdown against Bloom after entering the game with 33 to its credit.

And offensively, Blooms-burg cashed in for 278 yards rushing, including another career performance from Lawrence Elliott Jr., who surpassed the 200-yard pla-teau for the second time in three weeks.

Elliott, who notched a career high with 209 yards against Kutztown two weeks ago, rewrote his single-game rushing record with 234 yards on 28 carries and three touchdowns. He also scored on runs of 14, 1 and 61 yards. His efforts earned him PSAC East Offensive Player of the Week acco-lades.

Over nine games, Elliott

has rushed for 1,137 yards and 10 touchdowns, with both totals leading the team. It marks the 14th time in the last 16 seasons the Huskies have had a 1,000-yard rusher in a season. Elliott, with the three-touchdown perfor-mance, moved past kicker Tyler Smith to become the team’s leading scorer, with 62 points.

Bloomsburg averages 226 yards per game on the ground, and Lock Haven has given up an average of 200 yards per game rushing in 2015.

Quarterback Tim Kelly inched closer to the BU ca-reer passing yardage record of 7,474 yards, throwing for 125 yards against East Stroudsburg. He has a trio of 200-yard receivers to throw to in Chad Hoffman, Con-ner Gades and Nate Hoenl.

Lock Haven began the season 0-6, which included a three-point loss to East Stroudsburg and a 10-point loss to Shippensburg. Both of those games saw the Bald Eagles score 34 points.

LHU will face a staunch Bloomsburg defense which is allowing 19.4 points per

game. The Bald Eagles fea-ture a pair of 500+ yard rushers in Malyk Harris (713 yards, four touchdowns) and Beau Swales (524, one touchdown).

Field general Caleb Wal-ton has passed for 1,907 yards and 18 touchdowns and is also the team’s third-leading rusher with 128 yards. Walton has a quintet of receivers with 20 recep-tions or more, and three of those five have surpassed the 30-catch mark. Dan Krupko leads the team with

526 yards receiving and six touchdowns, while David Cook has hauled in a team-high 37 passes.

Defensively, Rahjier Miles-Eubanks has recorded more than 80 tackles for Lock Haven, while Daniel Strawbridge isn’t far behind, with 72 stops.

Bloomsburg has four play-ers who have surpassed 40 tackles for the season, led by Donovan Morris’ 49. Shikel-lamy graduate Garrett Pope is fourth on the Huskies de-fense in tackles, with 42.

By Travis JohnsonThe Associated Press

STATE COLLEGE — Penn State left guard Angelo Mangiro saw the potential of his young offensive team-mates in training camp.

Freshman running back Saquon Barkley and sopho-more wide receiver Chris Godwin, along with veteran Mangiro, have sparked a unit that’s found consistency in three of the last four weeks.

That’s just in time for the Nittany Lions’ most difficult stretch. Penn State (7-2, 4-1 Big Ten) will play at North-western (6-2, 2-2) on Sat-urday before finishing with No. 16 Michigan and No. 6 Michigan State.

“We’re going to have to be balanced,” Penn State coach James Franklin said. “Be able to run the ball. Be able to mix in the high-percent-age throws and then find sit-uations where we’re able to take some shots and create some explosive plays.”

Barkley and Godwin have made them all season. Penn State’s 29 plays of 30 yards or more are best in the Big Ten and eighth nationally. Recently, players who shoul-dered heavy loads in 2014 have helped the offense. An all-or-nothing attack has blossomed into a methodical and dangerous group, strik-ing with a big play or chip-ping away at a defense.

“I think that communi-cation has grown and has helped our offense prog-ress,” Mangiro said.

Mangiro’s ability to slot into any of the interior line spots has helped, along with the reemergence of two of quarterback Christian Hack-enberg’s favorite targets from last season.

Six games into this sea-son, DaeSean Hamilton and Geno Lewis were on pace to catch just 54 passes for 618 yards after they combined

for 137 grabs for 1,650 yards last season. But both have found the end zone in the last two games and have ac-counted for 40 percent of their combined yardage in the last three.

Mangiro, center Wendy Laurent and right guard Brian Gaia gave Hacken-berg a comfortable pocket in a 39-0 win over Illinois, helping produce his best game since 2013. His confi-dence in his receiving corps got a boost as Hamilton and Lewis have made big plays to augment Godwin’s down-field production. They’ve also forced defenders out of the box who were once stacked there to blitz Hack-enberg.

“You can’t always control how many catches you’re go-ing to get as a wide receiver,” Franklin said. “But what you can do is the opportunities

you get, you make the most of them.”

Hamilton has found more ways to get open from the slot and Lewis, whose play-ing time has been sporadic, has come up big with limited snaps. Although Godwin and Saeed Blacknall are reli-able deep threats, Penn State has missed Lewis’ physicality and ability to win the 50/50 passes in the red zone.

That changed when Lewis

scored crucial touchdowns against Maryland and Illi-nois by plucking balls out of the air at their highest point. His leaping, fade-away grab over Maryland’s Sean Davis held up as the game-winner, and he out-jumped Illinois’ Patrick Nelson in a rout of the Fighting Illini.

“It’s like going up and get-ting a rebound,” Lewis said. “You just time the jump right.”

Game Night


EAST LANSING, Mich. — Coach Mark Dantonio won’t obsess over Michigan State’s spot in the season’s first College Football Play-off rankings.

His top interest this week is getting the No. 6 Spartans (8-0, 4-0 Big Ten) ready for a game at Nebraska (3-6, 1-4) on Saturday night.

“I’ll be watching film,” Dantonio said Tuesday. “The end game is what’s impor-tant. What happens in the next four-and-a-half weeks is the bottom line.”

Michigan State is 25-9 in conference road games in Dantonio’s nine seasons in charge, including a 19-3 mark since 2010. The Spar-tans’ fifth-year seniors have won in all 14 Big Ten stadi-ums.

The challenge this week is winning at packed Memorial Stadium, where Michigan State earned its first win in eight tries in the series two years ago. The Spartans held on for another victory in East Lansing last season.

Dantonio isn’t looking past the hard-luck Cornhuskers to a showdown at No. 1 Ohio State on Nov. 21.

“You’d better focus on the task at hand,” Dantonio said. “There’s no reason to look past that.”

The last time Michigan State was 8-0, it took a trip to the heartland and lost to Iowa 37-6, costing the Spar-tans a berth in the Rose Bowl and possible shot at a bigger prize. That was the Spartans’ ninth straight game of 2010. This year, a bye week couldn’t have come at a better time for health reasons.

All-America center and tri-captain Jack Allen is listed first on the depth chart for the first time since sus-

taining a leg injury Oct. 10 at Rutgers. His return should help a ground game that struggled in wins at Michi-gan and against Indiana.

Quarterback Connor Cook should also benefit, though it might be hard to improve on his 31-3 mark as a starter or his performances in the last three games, when he has thrown for 1,093 yards and seven scores. His 64 touchdown passes are two shy of Kirk Cousins’ career

record at Michigan State.The only record Dantonio

cares about this week is 9-0. The Spartans will be just the 10th unbeaten opponent to visit Lincoln in November, with just three of the first nine leaving unblemished.

A 13-0 record in early De-cember is the lone guarantee that Michigan State will play in the Football Four, after finishing third and fifth in the final polls in the past two seasons. Dantonio knows

that his team can’t win 13 before it wins nine.

“There are a lot of big games between now and then that will affect those four spots and how people are ranked,” he said of a pro-cess that had eventual cham-pion Ohio State 16th in the committee’s first rankings last year.

The Spartans have won 21 of their last 22 Big Ten games but aren’t taking anything for granted in a facility that

will have its 347th straight sellout crowd.

Dantonio’s respect for Ne-braska dates back to his days as an assistant at Kansas, when the Jayhawks never beat the Cornhuskers and his wife Becky called them “The Big Red Machine.”

The machinery is in place for Michigan State to get where it hasn’t been since 1966, when it earned a share of the national title.

Game Night

By Brett MartelThe Associated Press

BATON ROUGE, La. — If indeed it takes one to know one, then LSU’s Heis-man Trophy front-runner, Leonard Fournette, should have no small measure of credibility when he de-scribes Alabama’s Derrick Henry as a supremely pun-ishing power runner.

“If I played defense, I wouldn’t want to tackle him,” Fournette said. “But that’s your job to tackle him, so you have to make a business decision every time you go against him.”

The field inside Ala-bama’s Bryant-Denny Sta-dium could become a rather busy marketplace for those trading in the currency of pain on Saturday night. In addition to the national title implications surrounding the No. 4 Tigers’ clash with the seventh-ranked Crim-son Tide, the game also will showcase two of the biggest, strongest and most productive running backs in college football.

The 6-foot-1, 230-pound Fournette has been the driv-ing force of LSU’s offense. His rushing average of 193.1 yards leads the nation. He has scored 15 touchdowns.

In the Southeastern Con-ference, only Fournette has been more productive than the 6-foot-3, 242-pound Henry, who averages 130.5 yards per game and has scored 14 touchdowns.

And there appears to be mutual respect.

Henry said he “probably wouldn’t” want to tackle Fournette, either.

“Whew. That’s a big boy to bring down. ... But he runs the ball the right way,” Henry said. “Every week, he brings it.”

Some comparisons are natural because both play-ers are big, routinely run

over would-be tacklers, gain a lot of yards and score often.

Alabama coach Nick Saban says direct compari-sons may be unfair because their bodies are different, as are their running styles, but he speaks glowingly about both.

Saban called Fournette “as dominant as any player in the country in terms of the way he plays and what he’s capable of doing as a running back.”

“We thought he was a fabulous player in high school, the No. 1 running back in the country,” con-tinued Saban, who tried to recruit Fournette. “It’s no surprise to me that the guy has developed into one of the premier players in the country and arguably the best running back.”

Fournette called the

choice between Alabama and LSU “one of the hard-est decisions I’ve made.” Henry was a freshman with the Crimson Tide when Fournette chose LSU. He has said his main reasons for staying in Louisiana had to do with family, personal relationships and the desire to be different than play-ers flocking to Tuscaloosa because of the Tide’s recent collection of national titles and SEC dominance.

If Alabama emerges once again as the SEC’s best, Henry will be a big reason why.

“I don’t think you can say enough about the way he’s played and how he’s shown great competitive character and been very productive, not only in the way he’s carried the ball but in pass protection, the things he’s done without the ball,”

Saban said.Defensive players on both

teams are confident they have a good sense of what they’ll be up against this week because of their ex-perience practicing against their own battering backs.

“As a linebacker you’ve got to be ready for that matchup. It’s nothing you shy away from,” LSU line-backer Kendell Beckwith said.

Fournette has garnered more attention this sea-son, partly because of his handful of touchdown runs longer than 40 yards — one as long as 87.

A big game against Alabama would consoli-date Fournette’s position as a Heisman front-runner, while a poor performance could give other candidates an opening. There could be more pressure on Four-

nette, although he insists he doesn’t see it that way.

“I’m not really worried about the Heisman. I’m not focused on me. I understand I’m in a position to win it or whatever, but my whole focus is on a championship right now,” Fournette said. “Alabama is another team in the way, and not to men-tion they’re a great team. So, we’re focused on them.”

Alabama quarterback Jake Coker said Henry de-serves more credit that he’s getting for the hard yards he’s earned.

“He gets overshadowed for sure. The guy is a beast,” Coker said. “When you see him run on the field, it’s a lot different than seeing him run on TV. Some of those plays, I see him just punish people. I just sit back there and I’m just like, ‘Gah, I feel bad for that guy.’”

Game will feature two dominant backsn lsu aT alaBaMa


LSU running back Leonard Fournette (7) and Alabama running back Derrick Henry (27) are shown above. The similarities and differences of two of the nation’s most powerful runners will come into focus when they lead their top 10 teams onto the same field on Saturday night.
