Photos, stories and results from Week 9 of Centre County high school football
Just like that, the PIAA high school regular school football season is almost over as Week 9 wrapped up Friday night.
Centre County teams went 3-2, with Penns Valley, State College and Bellefonte winning, and Bald Eagle Area and Philipsburg-Osceola taking losses. Bellefonte’s win and P-O’s loss came by way of forfeit. The Mounties made the decision Sunday to forfeit the remainder of their season due to player safety concerns, while Bellefonte’s Friday night opponent Bishop Carroll did the same thing for their matchup, citing similar concerns.
The Red Raiders and the Mounties both honored the senior members of their football teams, marching band and cheerleading squads in ceremonies at their respective fields. With the win by forfeit, Bellefonte moves to 7-2 on the season, and with the two forfeit losses, P-O will finish its season 1-9.
Here’s what else happened:
JERSEY SHORE 42, BALD EAGLE AREA 0 (final)
Jersey Shore continued its trend of thumping Centre County teams this season, beating up on the Bald Eagles 42-0 at Alumni Stadium.
BEA struggled to get anything going offensively, as it was all Bulldogs Friday night.
Quarterback Tanner Lorson did most of the scoring for the Bulldogs, recording two passing and two rushing touchdowns. Anthony Shaffer and Stanton Westlin were on the receiving end of Lorson’s touchdowns, while Dawson Sechrist and Hayden Packer also found the end zone.
A bad snap that went over BEA QB Jaden Jones’ head and out the back of the end zone gave the Bulldogs a safety.
PENNS VALLEY 62, TYRONE 14 (final)
Penns Valley senior quarterback Aaron Tobias continued his march toward the top of the PIAA passing record books Friday, bringing his season total up to 47 with five passing plus two rushing TDs against Tyrone. The state record for TD passes in a single season is 53.
The Rams also clinched the title of 2019 Mountain League champs Friday night, with a win against next week’s opponent, P-O, already assured with the forfeit.
Tobias’ TD passes came on a 54-yarder to Mason Lieb, 29-yarder to Logan Snyder, a 10-yarder to Austin Fisher, a 62-yarder to Snyder and a 32-yarder to Fisher.
Penns Valley’s other scores came on a 1-yard run by Seth Baney and a 55-yard run by Tanner Ilgen. Tobias’ rushing TDs were 7 and 13 yards.
The Rams were met by local fire companies at the Centre Hall Sheetz and escorted back to the high school after the win.
STATE COLLEGE 48, ALTOONA 0 (final)
State College bounced back big from its first loss of the season last week, shutting out Altoona 48-0 on the road Friday night. The Little Lions were led by junior running back Dresyn Green, who ended the game with 100 rushing yards on 10 attempts and two touchdowns, plus a pick-6.
Isaiah Edwards scored twice for the Little Lions, on 24- and 27-yard passes from quarterback Brady Dorner. Dorner also connected with Lokey Howell from 10 yards out for three total passing touchdowns.
The final touchdown was scored by backup QB Conrad Moore, who scampered 36 yards into the end zone.
