The Central Clarion Wildcats traveled to Brockway and came away with a 30-0 win in D9 Football League action on Friday (September 19th).

There was no scoring in the first quarter.

The Wildcats took a 2-0 lead in the second quarter, with a quarterback sack in the Brockway endzone.

After the ensuing free kick, Central Clarion marched down the field and quarterback Carter Hindman hit Ethan Rex for a nine yard touchdown. Logan Bish’s point after was good giving the Wildcats a 9-0 lead.

There would be no more scoring in the half.

Rex scored on a four yard run at 9:18 of the third. Bish was good again moving the score to 16-0, Central Clarion.

Mason Burford had a great fifty-five yard punt return for a touchdown, with 4:42 left in the quarter. Bish’s point after was good and the Wildcats led 23-0.

The defense closed out the scoring, with under fifty seconds left in the quarter as Brant Parker recovered a fumble in the Brockway endzone. Bish made good on his fourth PAT, to set the final.

Central Clarion Head Coach Dave Eggleton commented, “I thought our defense played lights out tonight, and we really stepped up our physicality. When you score in all three phases of the game, that’s a good night.

“We do need to clean up some penalties and mistakes on offense, but overall I’m proud of how our guys competed.

“I feel like we are improving each week, and I’m excited about our guys being willing to get better every day.”
