PUNXSUTAWNEY — Alan Nichol would have settled for seven yards, but he got a whole lot more.

The Punxsutawney football coach sent his team back onto the field following a timeout late in the fourth quarter of Friday night's KSAC clash with Moniteau.

With 3:30 left in the game, the Chucks led 13-6 and faced a third-and-7 from their own 28.

Quarterback Logan Weaver took the snap and rolled to his right before finding Ben Blazavich on a crossing pattern.

The senior running back made the catch, picked up the crucial first down and outraced the Warriors' defense to complete a 72-yard scoring play.

Moniteau's Kyle Armagost scored a late touchdown, but the Logan-to-Blazavich connection proved to be the difference in the Chucks' 20-12 victory.

"Logan was just looking for somebody around the sticks," said Nichol. "He found Ben, who has good speed for a kid his size.

"Every chance he got tonight, Ben was telling us he wanted the ball," added Nichol. "We got it to him and you saw what he did with it."

The Chucks faced the third-and-long play because Moniteau's defense had held Jason Fallara to a combined three yards on the first two plays.

Fallara gained 32 yards on his first carry of the game, but ended the night with a workmanlike 121 yards on 29 carries. He scored Punxsy's first touchdown on a 5-yard run in the first quarter.

"I wasn't surprised at all that they threw the ball on that third down," said Warriors coach Jeff Campbell. "We stuffed their run."

Blazavich's touchdown made the score 20-6 before Armagost teamed up with four different receivers to set up Moniteau's final score.

On a drive that began at his own 45, the junior connected on four passes totaling 54 yards to Zach Sloan, Ethan Pry, Dustin Geagan and Drew Yeckel.

Yeckel's 25-yard snag put the Warriors at the Punxsy 3 before Armagost scored on the next play.

The latter's two-point pass attempt failed and Moniteau's deficit stood at eight points with 56 seconds left.

The Chucks' Devin Neal then recovered an onside kick to end the Warriors' hopes.

Punxsutawney (7-0), a Class AAA team, provided a stiff test for Campbell's squad, and the veteran coach said he was pleased with his team's effort.

"Tonight, our defense played like I thought we should have been playing all year," he said. "I liked our effort."

The Warriors (3-4) outrushed the Chucks 165-136, even though the home team tallied 15 more attempts.

"You have to give credit to Moniteau," said Nichol. "They played well. We just wanted to stay patient."
