Red Raiders keep rolling along
South Park 41, Laurel Highlands 20 South Park scored touchdowns on five of its first six possessions of the second half in rallying from a 12-7deficit to defeat host Laurel Highlands in a non-conference game.
Dan Hatala rushed for a game-high 102 yards and two touchdowns, all in the second half, to lead an Eagles’ rushing attack that amassed 375 yards on 54 attempts. Brett Scruggs ran for 94 yards and a score, and Alex Fulton added 64 yards and two TDs.
Matt Humbert completed 15 of 34 passes for 251 yards and two touchdowns along with a pair of interceptions.
Antwjuan Cox snagged five of Humbert’s throws for 143 yards, including an 85-yard TD to open the game’s scoring.
The lead was short lived as Shane Jakubovic returned the ensuing kickoff 94 yards for a touchdown.
Humbert tossed a 15-yard scoring pass to Andre Ramsey with 30 seconds left in the first half to put the Mustangs (0-2) up 12-7, but South Park regrouped at the break and dominated the second half.
The Eagles led 41-12 when Paul Metz broke free for a 40-yard scoring run late in the game for LH.Latrobe 21, Connellsville 0
If this had been car racing instead of football, it could have been said that Connellsville’s offense never got out of low gear.
For a while, it looked like the Falcons were going to be stuck in reverse.
Latrobe’s swarming defense dropped Connellsville ball carriers 14 times for 65 yards in losses, and gave up a net of only 18 rushing yards for the whole game as the Wildcats posted their second shutout in as many starts, 21-0, in the Falcon home opener Friday night.
Overall, Connellsville netted just 52 yards – 34 passing and 18 on the ground, didn’t get a first down in the entire first half, and the closest they came to scoring was at 9:17 of the fourth quarter when they reached the Latrobe 32 and fumbled.
Meanwhile, Latrobe was generating 172 net overland and 105 passing, as quarterback Ryan Flynn completed 14 of 23 passes, including a touchdown to Andy Sorice. Chris Sarnese led the Wildcat ground game with 134 yards and two touchdowns in 19 carries.WESTERN REGION
