Stories, photos and results from Week 7 of Centre County high school football

In Week 7 of PIAA football, State College and Penns Valley both picked up big conference wins, the Little Lions knocking off Harrisburg 21-6 to remain undefeated and the Rams holding on for a 14-6 win over Mountain League foe Bellefonte.

Bald Eagle Area rolled with a 34-0 shutout of Huntingdon, and Philipsburg-Osceola wasn’t able to overcome North Penn-Mansfield.

Penn State football coach James Franklin also got in on the high school football action Friday night, as both he and offensive line coach Matt Limegrover made an appearance at the South Track for State College vs. Harrisburg.

Here’s what’s happened:

Harrisburg 6 vs. State College 21 (final)

State College junior Dresyn Green intercepted two passes, returned one for a touchdown and ran for another in the Little Lions’ 21-6 victory over Harrisburg on Friday at the South Track field.

State College’s defense pitched a shutout, as the Cougars’ lone touchdown came on a kickoff return in the fourth quarter. State High senior quarterback Brady Dorner started the scoring with a 3-yard touchdown run in the first quarter.

“These kids have never beat ‘em. Our coaches have, but we haven’t beat ‘em in three years, I think,” State College coach Matt Lintal said. “This was a big win. They had this one circled for a while.”

State College (7-0) is scheduled to host Central Dauphin (5-2) at 7 p.m. Friday at the South Track.

Penns Valley 14 vs. Bellefonte 6 (final)

The Penns Valley Rams have grown accustomed to putting up enormous numbers on offense this season. On Friday night, it was the team’s defense that stole the show on its way to a 14-6 victory over Bellefonte.

Rams’ star quarterback Aaron Tobias was held to 176 passing yards and one touchdown on 14-of-30 passing in the victory. Tobias was picked off twice by the Red Raiders in the game, with Bellefonte’s only six points coming after one of the interceptions.

Junior linebacker Chris Paloskey recorded both interceptions for Bellefonte.

The Red Raider offense struggled to get its prolific running game going all night long. The school’s all-time leading rusher, senior C.J. Funk, carried the ball 19 times for 72 yards in the game. He surpassed 3,000 career rushing yards on his first carry of the game.

Without Funk gashing the opposing defense, the Red Raiders couldn’t consistently move the ball. They finished the game with 81 passing yards and ultimately, the team’s lack of offense prevented the Red Raiders from earning the win Friday night.

Penns Valley improved to 6-1 while Bellefonte fell to 5-2.

Huntingdon 0 vs. Bald Eagle Area 34 (final)

QB Jaden Jones led the Bald Eagles over the Huntingdon Bearcats Friday night, making 13 completions on 18 attempts for 244 yards and four touchdowns in the shutout. He also had six carries for 33 yards.

After a scoreless first quarter, BEA’s Tommy Snyder ran in a touchdown from 10 yards out to open up the scoring. From there, Jones connected with Kaden Bittinger for an 18-yard touchdown, and then again with Matthew Reese for 58 yards to put the Bald Eagles up 20-0 going into the half.

In the third quarter, Jones connected with Gage McClenahan from 3 yards out, then connected with again Bittinger for a 76-yard touchdown.

BEA improves to 6-1 with the win.

North Penn-Mansfield 31 vs. Philipsburg-Osceola 7 (final)

Philipsburg-Osceola was unable to get the win Friday night against North-Penn Mansfield, falling to 1-6 on the season with tough Mountain League contests ahead with Clearfield and Penns Valley.

North Penn-Mansfield struck first at Mountianeer Stadium with a 37-yard TD pass from QB Colton Litzelman to Brandon Thompson with 7:43 to go in the opening quarter.

In the second quarter, the Panthers Kohen Lehman picked up a P-O fumble and took it to the house with 11:49 to go in the half.

Lehman took it home again with 6:21 left in the half. A field goal gave the Panthers the 24-point lead.

But with just seconds left in the half, P-O RB Kaleb Stamm took the direct snap in the wildcat formation on 4th and goal, running 1 yard into the end zone. The PAT was good to make it 24-7 at the half.

North Penn-Mansfield scored once more, with 8:05 to go, to come up with the win.
