Selinsgrove wins, but........................


Marc Persing of Shamokin





Bryce Auker, a wide receiver in a fullback's body





Leave it up to any adult to ruin a kids game. Selinsgrove and Shamokin put on a good show for the better part of 3 quarters, but the Seals put the game away in the fourth quarter going up 35-17 and getting the ball back with about two minutes left. Instead of running a few plays and hopping on the bus and prepare for Montoursville next Friday, Selinsgrove went bombs away not only once, but twice completing the second pass from Eric Deckard to Bryce Auker for a 37 yard touchdown pass.





The play didn't sit to well with the Indian coaching staff. Read Shamokin Area head coach Dave Zielinskie's comments to the New-Item here. The end of the game put a sour note on an otherwise brilliant performance by Marc Persing of Shamokin who ran for 105 yards, threw for 264 completing 20 of 41 attempts and kicked a 26-yard field goal.

MOUNT CARMEL

Coming this week and next will be analysis of the next two MCA games. I got a chance to see Pottsville and Selinsgrove on consecutive weeks and will analyze their strengths and weakness as the relate to Mount Carmel.
