WEEK 7 RECAP

Piketon & ZT win to stay one back of WF

The Piketon Redstreaks continue to score at an incredible pace. Friday night at Southeastern, Piketon scored 42 points which was good enough for a 42-9 win. The victory moves them to 3-1 in the league as they remain one game back of Westfall. The Redstreaks will need a Week 8 win at Adena to set up a showdown with Westfall in Week 9 at Piketon. Quarterback Kenny Helton continued his fine season as the Redstreak signal-caller completed 12 of 17 for 221 yards and three scores. On the ground, Piketon was led by Tyler Tackett with 111 yards on eight carries and Keiffer Reed added 92 yards. Zane Trace also remains just one game back. The Pioneers bounced back from last week's loss at Westfall, by blowing out Unioto 52-0. This game was tied at zero at the end of one, but then the red, white, and blue exploded over the final three quarters for the comfortable win. Zane Trace's Jordie Wonderleigh found the end zone three times in the first three quarters and Kirk Maxwell threw touchdowns to Gabe Haynes and Casey Wrightsel. Haynes also started the second half by taking the opening kickoff back 82-yards for a score. Wonderleigh, who found some great running room behind the blocking of Ben Jones and Daniel Stafford  had 155 yards on the ground while Maxwell was 7-8 for 146 yards. In the fourth quarter, Chris Finley scored his first two varsity touchdowns. On the defensive side of the ball, freshman Jerrod Collins recorded eight tackles while D.J. Merriman had a sack and seven tackles. Evan Dodd also had an interception.

23 & Counting!

The Westfall Mustangs continue to march towards another SVC championship, and their golden run has them approaching some league history as well. Friday's 49-28 win over Adena marks the Mustangs 23rd straight SVC win, leaving them just two shy of PV's (early 90's) record of 25 straight. The Westfall defense continues to struggle with the run as Adena's Buddy Barnes rushed for 275 yards on 27 carriers; however, every opposing defense continues to struggle with containing Westfall's offense as well. Cain, Cline, and company had another amazing night on the field and on the stat sheet. Quarterback D.J. Cain threw for 216 yards and three scores and ran for another 90 yards and a touchdown while Ben Cline rushed for 88 yards on just five carries and two scores, plus the senior all-around star caught a 55-yard TD pass. Westfall's Bryant Gibson also scored twice.

Look ahead to Week 8

Paint Valley wins easy to continue push for playoff spot Big night for Workman and the Bearcat passing attack

Paint Valley senior quarterback Matt Workman threw two first half touchdowns to Garett Tyree, one to Wes Parker, and another to Mike Hamilton, who made a great diving grab, to lead Paint Valley to a 34-0 halftime advantage. The Huntington defense did a decent job on Colton Morris and the PV running game; however, when the Bearcats moved Morris to the slot and started using four and five wide, the green and white had no answer for the PV air attack. Morris still managed 166 rushing yards on 20 carries, and the senior star also caught four passes for 98 yards. Workman ended the night 8 of 10 for 192 yards to go with those before mentioned four TD passes. Paint Valley is now 5-2 overall as they continue to push for a playoff spot. The Bearcats return home next week for homecoming against Unioto. Huntington, now 1-6, will travel to Westfall.
