FOOTBALL FRIDAY NIGHT = WEEK TWO

Logan Elm comes from behind to beat WF 32-28

Fisher Catholic 33 Huntington 0

Fisher Catholic too much for the Huntsmen

The Braves of Logan Elm led only one time Friday night. Unfortunately, for the defending SVC champion Westfall Mustangs, that one time was late in the fourth quarter 32-28 - a score that eventually became the final. Westfall led by 11 on two different occassions with the first coming at 21-10 and the second coming at 28-17. It was at that second situation when Logan Elm came up with a big fourth-down stop that took the momentum that led to 15 unanswered points for the Braves to steal the four-point victory. Westfall travels to Cirlceville next week before putting its 19-game SVC winning streak on the line in Week 4.

The Huntington defense held tough for two-and-a-half quarters, but in the end Fisher Catholic's size and speed proved to be too much for the Huntsmen. In the early going it took two big catches from Fisher Catholic's All-Ohio tight end Luke Roesch - the first coming on third and long to set up FC's first score and then the second was a jump ball that ended in an Irish TD - to give Lancaster the early lead. Huntington's offense struggled to get going throughout the night. Huntsmen backs Tyler Bethel and Josh Watkins found little running room, and even though quarterback Sam Mitchell had a little bit of success outside the pocket, Huntington struggled to consistently move the chains. A few bright spots for Coach Ferdie Marquez's Huntington team came on defense and on special teams. Clint Turner recoreded an interception and Derick Clark blocked two PAT attempts. The Huntsmen are now 0-2 and they will remain home next week when they welcome Minford.

Westfall QB D.J. Cain was held to just 35 yards on 15 carries Friday night

Piketon on the wrong end of another close finish; Adena, Unioto, SE, and ZT all lose road games

After Piketon let a 53-38 lead get away last week in the final four minutes against Waverly in a 54-53 loss, the Redstreaks had another tough, close game not go their way. Quarterback Kenny Helton threw for 213 yards and two scores - both to Jordan Brabson - as the Redstreaks held a 13-6 halftime advantage. Two second half touchdowns from Nelsonville-York allowed the Buckeyes to get out of Piketon with a 20-13 win. In other action, Adena, Unioto, Southeastern, and Zane Trace all suffered losses on the road.  Click to view SVC Standings, Schedules, and Scores
