HAMPTON TWP - Steve Paskorz is hard enough to stop by himself.

But the Hampton High School football team served notice Friday night against Knoch that it is much more than Steve Paskorz.

The junior back, who led the WPIAL in rushing last season, got his yards - 165 of them - and scored his touchdowns, but the Talbots showed off other weapons that confounded the Knights just as much in a 34-0 win.

To Knoch coach Mike King, Hampton was every bit as good as advertised.

"I think so," King said. "They have a great offensive team."

Hampton (3-0, 1-0) has outscored its three opponents this season 123-6.

Talbots quarterback Bob Bartley threw for 123 yards and two short touchdowns. Fullback Logan Bosiljevac rushed for 65 yards and a touchdown and also caught four passes for 34 yards and a score.

Hampton threw on first down four times on a 12-play, 80-yard scoring drive that culminated with a 6-yard touchdown pass from Bartley to Marcus Magister.

"(Bartley) is so underrated in what he can do," said Hampton coach Greg Mihalik. "It's an awesome feeling knowing that if teams load the box, put eight or nine guys up to stop Steve, we don't have to worry about it."

It's also nice to have Paskorz in the backfield.

Paskorz had 162 yards on 15 carries at the half, including a 5-yard touchdown run. He added a 5-yard score in the third quarter before taking the rest of the game off.

He was adept at making something out of nothing, as Knoch hemmed him in on a few of his carries only to watch him wiggle free or just plain plow through for yardage.

"There are times when we see how the defense is lining up and we say, 'Oh my gosh, we aren't getting anything on this,' Mihalik said. "But the kids makes it happen."

King had no answer for Paskorz.

"We had kids hitting him and bouncing off," King said. "He has a lot of football left in him."

Hampton rolled up 414 yards of offense on a Knoch defense that had been staunch in its first two games against Freeport and Moon.

Perhaps more disheartening to King was his team's lack of offense. The Knights (1-2, 0-1) have scored just 21 points in three games this season.

Hampton's defense stymied Knoch quarterback Jordan Shoop, picking him off twice. Shoop finished just 4-of-13 passing for a meager 20 yards.

Five dropped passes victimized him.

"That's a concern," King said. "I don't know what more we can ask of our quarterback."

The Knoch offense hasn't exactly faced sieve-like defenses in the first three weeks.

The Talbots, who gave up 52 points to Pine-Richland in a 52-42 loss in the second round of the WPIAL playoffs last year, came into this season determined to play better defense.

Hampton has. The only points it has surrendered have come against the second-team defense.

"(The playoff loss to Pine-Richland) showed us which side of the ball championships are won," Mihalik said. "When you score 42 points against a team that had given up eight all season, you expect to win."

While King is concerned about his sputtering offense, his worries are tempered a bit.

"We have to be able to hook up passing the ball," King said. "Our offense, we don't want the kids to get down. We've played three really outstanding defensive teams, so I think that might be less a problem with our offense and more the kinds of defenses we've faced."
