Muncy found most of their offense through the air, with quarterback Noah Weikle going 12/20 for 147 yards and a touchdown.

On top of the fact that South Williamsport dropped a season high 71 points, all of those came in just the first half, including 42 in the first quarter alone.

Hanover Area 35, Northwest Area 14

The Rangers failed to contain Hanover Area’s offense, as they fell to the Hawkeyes at home 35-14, marking their third straight loss since starting the season 4-0. Hanover Area has one of the most unique storylines in the area, arguably their three best players are all siblings, the Richardson triplets. Logan, Brody, and Conor all made their presence known against Northwest Area, Logan plays quarterback and he went 13/18 for 205 yards and 3 touchdowns. 2 of those touchdowns went to Conor, who hauled in 9 passes for 166 yards as well, by far the most on the team.

Selinsgrove quarterback Rocco Amato had a pretty rough performance against the Braves’ defense, going 5/16 for just 62 yards and a touchdown, as well as getting picked off once by Shikellamy’s Xzavier Baker-Allen. The Seals only managed 115 total rushing yards, most of which came from Isaac Thomas who turned 12 carries into 68 yards and a score. Amato’s only touchdown pass went to Jonathan Neidig, who also led the team in receiving yards with 46 on 3 catches.

Jersey Shore 28, DuBois 14

The Bulldogs got a much needed bounce back win, ending their three game losing streak and taking down DuBois on the road 28-14. After suffering losses to Shamokin, Shikellamy, and Williamsport in consecutive weeks, Jersey Shore desperately needed to find their footing again, and they were able to do that.
