Jennings County struggled against a rugged Greensburg team that started 13 seniors, including seven on defense. The Panthers were limited to 42 rushing yards with only 14 of those coming in the second half as they were forced to go to the passing game. was really physical up front and we just match Jennings County coach Scott Buening said.

just struggled all The Pirates put together a pair of scoring drives in the second quarter to take a 13-0 halftime lead. They then left little doubt for a Panther rally in the second stanza as they punctured the visitors for 18 more points in the third. Jennings County actually had the opportunity to score the first points of the contest, but Andrew field goal attempt was blocked. The opening drive netted 47 yards on seven plays and was fueled by Ryan 31-yard pass to Keegan Beineke. Greensburg stopped the momentum at the 10-yard line and then took over after snuffing out the 26-yard attempt.

The Panthers had just one more lengthy offensive series, again going 47 yards, in 10 plays but was forced to punt. Turnovers, penalties and the inability to move the ball consistently doomed Jennings County the rest of the way. Greensburg, meanwhile, rolled up more than 250 rushing yards, including 131 from Elliott Green. One of three senior ball carriers, Green was having a respectable game from the halfback position until being forced to play quar- terback where he turned up the intensity even more. His 28-yard scamper put the hosts in front 24-0.

He then added a 42-yard jaunt in the final seconds of the third to cap off the scoring. The Panthers countered with the passing game from Cowan, who finished with 167 yards after a 13-of-26 effort. He spread the ball around, connecting with seven different receivers, but failed to produce a scoring strike. Preston Teltow was the top ball carrier for Jennings, getting 38 yards. Tommy Taylor carried just once.

But put together the top two picks in the draft both quarterbacks and schedule it for the third week the game considered the dress rehearsal for the preseason and the teams involved figure not only be worth the price of admission, be worth a $35 T-shirt. The Indianapolis Colts and Washington Redskins have been pushing T-shirts featuring Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III ahead of their game today, feeding on a frenzy of hope and hype surrounding two rebuilding franchises and the thought of witnessing the beginning of a match-up that could only flourish in years to come. will make a buck off Redskins defensive end Stephen Bowen said.

Only this time, the stakes were as high as they come. With a crowd estimated at more than 5,000 smothering home football field, Jones burst up the middle on a 21-yard touchdown run with 46 seconds remaining to send the fans into a frenzy with the 23-20 victory.

We just had to get a score at the end, and what we After North quarterback Michael Vogel bulled his way nine yards up the middle for a touchdown, the Bull Dogs (0-2) led 20-16 with 2:00 remaining. A short kickoff left the Olympians (2-0) at their own 35, and Cowan and Jones went to work. Cowan found Jason Kimmet for 22 yards on the first play, and Jones followed with an 11-yard run for another first down at the North 29.

Cowan then hit JT Voekler for 8 yards, setting up third touchdown of the night with 46 seconds left and his second game- winner in as many weeks. was said Jones, who finished with 178 yards on 28 carries. just broke a couple tackles and got to the end zone. We knew if we just pulled together as a team, we would get it done and get it in the end Taylor Summa returned the kickoff past midfield, but the Bull Dogs were called for a block in the back and had to start from their own 18. Four incomplete passes later, East had snapped a two-game losing streak to North.

In a game referred to as a classic, it really was a classic. It was classic heart from two teams comprised of teenagers. Columbus North football coach Tim Bless stood on the nice, clean Field Turf at his home stadium on Friday night, unable to celebrate his magnificent rally against East in a game that was decided on part-muscle and part-intestinal fortitude.

Bless and the Bull Dogs were one-upped by a team that was more than willing to play smash-mouth football with a team that is known for perfecting it. 23-20 victory in the MORE PHOTOS Get more action from the game in edition and at therepublic.com.
