overcomes Mt. Union, 28-6 by Nick Lovrich, COACH
Friday the Blue Devils traveled to Mt.
Union for an Inter-County battle with the Trojans and the Blue Devils
came out on top 28-6. The Blue Devils were powered by three Adam Plummer
touchdowns. Plummer scored a touchdown running, receiving, and one on a
85-yard kick-off return. The three touchdown victory was a lot closer
than it looked. Mt.Union used a shotgun formation to throw the Blue
Devils an unexpected curve. Senior quarterback Jake Atherton provided
many headaches for the Blue Devil defenders throughout the night.
Atherton scrambled for 92 yards on 20 carries and threw for 124 yards on
10 completions. After holding on to a 7-0 lead for the first three quarters, Bellwood scored 5 seconds into the 4th quarter on a 14 yard pass from senior quarterback Chuck Benton to Plummer for his second touchdown of the night. Mt. Union moved the ball up the field and got into the Blue Devil Red Zone. The Blue Devil defense stiffened stopping the Trojans 3 times in a row from their own 1 yard line. Finally on 4th down, Atherton bulled his way into the endzone. The PAT was wide left. The Trojans kicked off to Plummer and he broke through the coverage to scamper 85 yards and the touchdown. The return took the wind out of Mt.Union sails and the Blue Devils intercepted two Atherton passes, one by Plummer and one by sophomore Dan Houser. Senior fullback Duane Ehredt scored on a 15-yard run to seal the victory. The Blue Devils improved to 3-0 and travel to Williamsburg on Friday night. The Trojans fell to 1-2.
