JACKSON TWP - Everything didn't go as planned for Jack McCurry.

But the North Hills coach was certainly happy with one result - the final score.

The Indians churned out 231 yards rushing and outgained Seneca Valley in total offense 411-177 in a decisive 35-7 victory Friday night at Raiders Stadium.

The performance came in a game delayed almost an hour due to lightning and despite 11 penalties worth 65 yards called on the Indians, who had two touchdowns called back because of flags.

Most of the penalty yardage came on illegal motion miscues.

"It was crazy out there, just bizarre," said McCurry of the penalties. "I think the team in the black jerseys could have gotten a few of those (flags)," he added, referring to Seneca Valley being called for just one penalty worth five yards.

Despite McCurry's frustration with the officials, it couldn't compare to Seneca Valley coach Ron Butschle's displeasure with his team's performance.

On a night when his offense needed to be the most efficient, Butschle's Raiders rushed for just 88 yards and passed for only 89.

Seneca Valley (1-3, 0-2) also had two punts blocked, both of which North Hills used to set up short scoring runs.

The Raiders have had three punts blocked in their last two games.

"I thought we corrected the problem in practice this week," said Butschle. "I can tell you this, there will be wholesale changes on the punt team next week."

Indians senior quarterback Ryan Lehmeier passed for 180 yards and rushed for 57 yards and two touchdowns, the first of which came from two yards out early in the first quarter after teammate John Bearer blocked and recovered Ryan Scheller's punt deep in SV territory.

The lightning delay came with seven seconds left in the first quarter and, soon after play resumed, Connor Corcoran scored to put North Hills (3-1, 2-0) up 14-0.

SV quarterback Kevan Smith provided a spark to the Raiders with a 40-yard scramble to set up his own one-yard scoring run with 4:24 left in the first half.

Smith, who entered the game averaging 174 yards passing per game, was able to complete one long pass in the contest: a 53-yarder to running back Lee Layton in the first quarter that set up a failed 24-yard field goal attempt.

It was the only pass over 10 yards for Smith, who completed just two of his eight passes to wide receivers.

After the Indians built a three-score lead in the second half, the Raiders finally went to the deep ball, but Smith was throwing against a stacked deck. He completed just four of 14 passes in the second half for 19 yards.

"We were surprised that they didn't take more chances downfield early in the game," said McCurry.

"Our game plan was to take what the defense gave us," said Butschle. "(North Hills) has great athletes on the perimeter and we felt the underneath stuff would work for us."

Corcoran added scoring runs in the third and fourth quarters, and Lehmeier tallied his second touchdown with 5:30 left in the game to account for the 35-7 score.

North Hills wide receiver Brad Hill ended the game with eight catches for 150 yards.

"I thought we had a good game plan coming in," said Butschle. "But the coaches can't go out there and execute it, that's up to the kids. Until that happens, we're going to have scores like this."
