Bellwood-Antis celebrated Homecoming on the field at halftime at Bellwood Memorial Stadium on Friday evening. In the first quarter, the Blue Devils did their best to make sure the game would be decided by halftime.

Football consists of three basic parts: offense, defense and special teams. On Friday night at Allport, Bellwood-Antis used all three to score points and all three to all but shut out West Branch from scoring in a 61-6 rout.

Bellwood-Antis has been jumping out in front of opponents early during their four game win streak. Including the Blue Devils 47-10 triumph over Southern Huntingdon on Friday night at Bellwood Memorial Stadium, they have outscored four foes 131-3 in the first half.

Moshannon Valley became the latest team to find out quickly about the Bellwood-Antis Blue Devils quick-strike potential.

Prior to the game at Flinton, Bellwood-Antis coach John Hayes would have been very pleased to see his defense give up just 14 points to Glendale's spread offense and multi-talented quarterback Tyler Jenny and his corps of excellent wide receivers.

Two punt returns and two kickoff returns. How many times have you seen a football game at any level from youth to the NFL where one team has four touchdowns on kick returns?

"In big games turnovers usually mark the difference in the outcome of the game," said Bellwood-Antis coach John Hayes following the Blue Devils 30-29 loss in the quarterfinal matchup of the Single-A playoff contest at Bellwood Memorial Stadium on Friday night.
