Mapletown pulled ahead in the third quarter Friday night and then held on for a 27-25 Tri-County South Conference victory at Avella.

Landon Stevenson scored three touchdowns for the Maples (1-5, 2-7), one in each of the first three quarters, for a 27-0 lead. Stevenson gained 134 yards on the ground and scored on runs of 11 and 2 yards. He also caught an 82-yard touchdown pass from Max Vanata.

Zach Greene’s 47-yard touchdown run bumped the score to 27-0 in favor of Mapletown.

Then quarterback Derek Tarolli took over for the Eagles (0-6, 1-8) with touchdown passes of 50 and 21 yards to Tanner Terensky in the third quarter to make the score 27-12. Tarolli found Ty Jaworowski open for a 60-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter, but the two-point conversion pass failed for a 27-18 game.

Tarolli then completed his fourth touchdown pass, a 24-yard completion to Justin Dryer. Robert West converted the point-after, but Mapletown held on for the road win.

Tarolli completed 12-of-14 passes for 210 yards. Terensky caught six passes for 97 yards.

The teams both gained over 300 yards of total offense with the Maples putting together 374 yards and the Eagles finishing with 307. Avella’s Anthony Georgetti ran for 96 yards on 15 carries.
