BETHEL PARK - The Seneca Valley defense is headed back to a place it was hoping to avoid.

The drawing board.

The Raiders defense surrendered three touchdowns in the first half, as Bethel Park rolled to a 42-14 Quad North win Friday night.

"I'm very disappointed in our defensive effort," said Raiders coach Ron Butschle. "We just weren't getting off the blocks well tonight. It's back to the drawing board for us."

The catalyst for Bethel Park's attack was fullback Jon Enyeart.

The 5-foot-11, 220-pound senior scored all three of the Black Hawks' offensive touchdowns in the first two quarters.

His 19-yard run opened the scoring with just over two minutes gone in the first period.

"Jon has had some injury problems in the past," said Bethel Park coach Jeff Metheny. "But when he's healthy, he's a special player."

Enyeart added a 7-yard scoring reception and a 5-yard touchdown run in the second quarter.

The fullback gained 99 yards from scrimmage on just nine carries in the game.

Most of those yards came on a trap play that Bethel Park relied on for much of the contest, as Enyeart had runs of 19, 42 and 25 yards from the formation.

"We weren't surprised by it," said Butschle. "Even the first time they ran it, we weren't surprised. But we just couldn't stop it."

The defense wasn't the only aspect of Seneca Valley's play that contributed to the lopsided score.

On the Raiders' first possession, quarterback Kevan Smith's third-down pass was deflected and intercepted by Dylan August and returned to the Raiders' 26-yard line, setting up Enyeart's first score.

Seneca Valley's next possession ended with a blocked punt that defensive back Eric Bielich returned 36 yards for a touchdown, making the score 14-0.

"Things started out badly for us tonight and they didn't get a whole lot better," said Butschle.

Smith later connected with senior wideout Josh Fusco on a 12-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter, but the Raiders' reprieve was brief.

Enyeart's second and third scores came just over three minutes apart, as Bethel Park held a comfortable 28-7 lead at the break.

Another aspect of Bethel Park's offense that frustrated the Raiders was the passing of quarterback Jeff Stewart.

The junior threw only six passes in the game, but completed five of them for 112 yards and a touchdown.

All five completions went to different receivers.

"Jeff's been improving and he's starting to take control of the offense," said Metheny.

Seneca Valley's Pat Prazer offered a bright spot by rushing for 140 yards on 22 carries and Zach Duggan became the Raiders' all-time leader in receptions (53) after snagging five passes for 71 yards and a score.

The Raiders had an 88-yard drive in the first half, but were turned away on a fourth-down play at Bethel Park's 10-yard line.

"We had a few positives out there," said Butschle. "But numbers don't mean much when you don't score."
