A-C Valley 12, Brockway 7 — The Falcon Knights washed the taste of last week’s blowout loss to Central Clarion out of their mouths against a previously-undefeated Rovers crew. Brody Dittman went 12-of-21 for 216 yards and connected with Owen Bish for a seven-yard air strike in the second quarter.

Bish had four grabs for 86 yards and also led the team on defense with 11 stops.
