7:16 p.m.: Karns City’s Cole Johnston trucks his way to early lead
The Gremlins used power football (surprise!) to go up on Westinghouse 7-0 early. Cole Johnston took a QB keeper around the right tackle from 8 yards out, trucking over a defender at the 3 to get into the end zone.
7:12 p.m.: Mars, Union/A-C Valley break open big runs for early scores
Ayden Yocum took a handoff around midfield and went through the teeth of the Knoch defense for a nearly 50-yard touchdown run to put Mars up 7-0 early. That came around the same time Union/A-C Valley, likely with running back Max Gallagher, broke off a 44-yard TD run and converted a two-point conversion over Kane for a 8-0 lead.
Seneca Valley also leads Canon-McMillan early 7-0 after QB Andrew Loebig hit Danny Drennan for a 26-yard score.
