The game of the week was Punxsutawney giving Redbank Valley fits through 3 quarters before succumbing 50-27. Redbank’s offense could do no wrong as they scored on 7 of 9 possessions and rolled up over 500 yards against the Chucks. To Punxsy’s credit, they never gave up and accounted for over 450 yards of offense themselves and only trailed 35-27 entering the 4th quarter. It was a fun game to watch. Congrats to the kids on both squads.
