Piketon gets out of Frankfort with one-point win; Redstreaks to host WF next week

Once again Adena's ground game was more than their opponent's defense could handle; however, once again it was Adena's defense that had no answer for their opponent's high-powered attack. Last week it was Westfall that basically just outscored Adena, and Friday night it was the SVC's top-ranked offense in Piketon that exploded for a huge night to secure a 42-41 win. After Piketon started the year 0-2 and 1-3, the Redstreaks have won four in a row to put themselves playing at home next week with a chance to jump in the thick of this year's conference title chase.

Unioto provides early scare for Bearcats, but PV regroups in second half for 47-37 win

WEEK 8 "STAT SHEET STUFFERS"

All year long the Unioto Shermans have played well with some good teams for one or two quarters only to see themselves run out of gas in the second half. Friday night in Bainbridge the Shermans had plans of crashing homecoming weekend as they jumped out to a 24-21 halftime advantage; however, the still playoff hopeful Bearcats regrouped at the break, and Paint Valley found a way to comeback and win 47-37. Colt Morris was close to 400 total yards as the senior scored five times to lead the Bearcats. PV overcame five fumbles to still score 47 points in the victory. PV will host ZT on senior night next week.

Colton Morris, PV: 22 rushes for 284 yards, 3 catches for 109 yards, 5 total touchdowns Kenny Helton, Piketon: 205 yards, 3 TDs Jordan Elam, SE: over 250 total yards D.J. Cain, WF: 9-10, 235 yards, 3 TDs Buddy Barnes, Adena: 27 carries for 182 yards - also had an INT (return for TD) on defense Caleb Southworth, Piketon: 12 catches for 197 yards and 3 TDs Jordie Wonderleigh, Zane Trace: 22 rushes, 239 yards, and three scores Hobey Cottrell, Unioto: over 50 total yards w/ two fumble recoveries and an INT for a TD

Zane Trace beats SE to stay even with Piketon and one back of WF

The league's top defense gave up more than their average in the first half Friday night to allow SE to stay within 10 at 30-20, but the ZT defense allowed only six second half points as the red, white, and blue rolled to a 57-26 win. ZT stays within one game of WF and they will need a win against PV next week as well as a Piketon win against WF to get back into the title picture.
