WF WINS! Mustangs take advantage of ZT's mistakes to capture 28-21 win
By Shayne Combs, SVCsportszone.com
Westfall has now won 22-straight SVC games - just three shy of PV's record of 25 set back in the early to mid-90s.
In a match-up of the league's top two defenses, it was a few offensive stars that took over the stage in Friday night's first half; however, those two defenses did show up in the second half. Finally, after seven lead changes, WF's Ben Cline found the end zone for the fourth time and quarterback D.J. Cain hit Matt Near for the two-point conversion to put the Mustangs up 28-21 - a score that would eventually be the game's final score.

Even in a losing effort and even with Cline's four scores, the individual that took the game over throughout the night was Zane Trace's Jordie Wonderleigh. The senior running back was incredible. He carried it 30 times for 230 yards and a touchdown. Unfortunately for ZT, the Pioneers made too many mistakes and WF responded the way you would expect the defending champions to do so.

With ZT leading by one early in the third-quarter, Wonderleigh had broken a 56-yard TD run that would have put ZT up by eight; however, a penatly called it back. ZT also had a drive down inside the five-yard line killed by a penatly. On the night, the Pioneers had nine penalties for 85 yards.

Zane Trace's fine front-seven made it difficult for the Mustangs to run the ball, but the equalizer for the Mustangs was Cain. The senior signal-caller threw for 245 yards, a touchdown (30-yards to Cline), and the before mentioned two-point conversion to Near. Cain also was able to earn some tough yards on the ground from his quarterback position that forced ZT to remain honest in the middle.

Zane Trace's first touchdown came on a Kirk Maxwell to D.J. Merriman pass and then Maxwell later found the end zone from nine yards out on a quarterback keeper.

The win moves Westfall to 4-2, 3-0. The Mustangs travel to Frankfort next Friday night while ZT, now 3-3, 2-1 will return home to host Unioto.
PIKETON'S OFFENSE EXPLODES IN SECOND HALF TO GIVE REDSTREAKS A WIN IN BAINBRIDGE
With Piketon running back Keiffer Reed unable to carry his normal load, it was Tyler Tackett's 16 carries for 233 yards that led Piketon to a 43-22 SVC win Friday night at Paint Valley. The Redstreak running back also scored three times.

Piketon jumped out to a 14-0 advantage, but the Bearcats clawed back to take a 22-21 lead in the third quarter. That is when Piketon scored 22 unanswered to pull away.

Paint Valley's Colton Morris continues his fine senior season with 104 yards on 15 carries. The all-around star also scored a pair of touchdowns.
SE SCORES LATE TO TIE & IN OVERTIME TO WIN
An Adam Carrigan 28-yard TD catch and a Scott Perkins TD run had Huntington clinging to a 14-6 halftime advantage. The Huntsmen continued to hold that same lead after three quarters and then deep into the fourth quarter; however, Southeastern found the end zone late, converted on the two-point try, and then scored in overtime to capture the win.

Southeastern Jordan Elam enjoyed an incredible night. Elam rushed 26 times for 255 yards and a pair of scores. Roy Oates also found the end zone once for the Panthers.

For Huntington, Perkins carried it 23 times for 134 yards to go with his score. Tyler Bethel also gained 73 yards on six attempts. Carrigan not only scored the before mentioned touchdown, but he also led the Huntsmen defense with eight tackles and an interception.
Piketon's offense is now averaging a league-best 37.3 ppg.
ADENA WINS BIG AT UNIOTO
Unioto's defense contained Adena for about a quarter-and-a-half, but the two-shade blue's running game took over from there. Buddy Barnes had 188 yards on the ground as Adena rolled 48-0.

The Warriors are now 4-2, 2-1 as they prepare for a huge home game next week with Westfall.
