Seneca Valley players and coaches celebrate after the final play of their double-overtime win over Canon-McMillan Friday night.

JACKSON TWP — Nolan Dworek wasn't discouraged when he had the ball stripped from him in the fourth quarter with the Seneca Valley football team trailing by eight Friday night at NexTier Stadium.

The Raiders senior running back believed if he made the right adjustments, the offensive line would put him in a position to succeed. Dworek, who finished with 111 rushing yards, would later score the game-tying touchdown on a 30-yard run and the game-winner in the Raiders' 24-17 double overtime conference victory.

“Hold the ball high-and-tight, that was the big one for me,” Dworek said. “Finding the gaps, hitting the crease and doing the things I had to do. Once again, I can't thank my line enough.”

Seneca Valley coach Ron Butschle was proud of Dworek. Dworek had a difficult game in the Raiders' 35-0 loss to Central Catholic the week before. On the first play from scrimmage, Dworek had a 14-yard run halted when the ball was ripped away from him.

“His journey has been a little rough this week,” Bustchle said. “I'm happy with the way it turned out.”

The scoreboard didn't function during the game, so it was difficult for Seneca Valley to determine how much time was left when the Raiders were making their comeback.

Seneca Valley had a 43-yard field goal attempt to win the game at the end of the fourth quarter, but it was blocked.

The Raiders (5-2, 3-1) fell behind after Canon-McMillan recovered a fumble on the Seneca Valley 39 in the first quarter. The Big Macs capitalized six plays later when Ryan Angott scored on an 11-yard run to put them ahead 7-0.
