"Our defensive work was very significant," said Ash.

His defense limited the potent Pioneer option offense to just 105 yards on the ground. and five'pass completions "We really got hurt early." said Widener's classy Bill Manlove, now 31 in 1986 an'd 142-35 in 17-plus seasons.

Playing deep in its own end. the Indians had two punts stay in the 1 backfield after mishandled snaps.

The Vikings earned'just 127 net yards in the contest, 81 of those coming.on one play that produced their only score. With" Valley leading 7-0, Glendale took'a punt at its own 19 with 8:45 left in the half.

On first down, Viking quarterback Rich'Laing hooked up with end Don Johnston to cover the distance. Facing man coverage, Johnston ran a short out, then broke downfield leaving the Hornet defender grasping for jersey. Laing put the ball right on the mark and Johnston had no trouble out-running the rest of the Valley defense. Laing's run for the two- pointer came up short. The only other Viking threat came in the final minute-of the game.after Dave Burmeister intercepted Hornet QB Jim Foster at the Glendale 41 and returned to the Hornet 26.

The opportunity was lost when Tim Pruss intercepted Laing at the 17 on a fourth down play. "We seem to get caught with a mistake once a game, but other than that, the defense played'very well," praised Hornet-Coach Bill Clouse. "I'm very pleased with the way they are progressing.

We jammed a lot of people up close to confuse them and keep them out of, the holes they like to run through." Although the Hornet offense sputtered, it still managed to put three touchdowns on the Scoreboard. 'After Pruss recovered Burmeister fumble On the Vikes' '-first offensive play, the Hornets marched 22 yards in seven plays.

The Hornet's best second half effort was stopped by a fumble at the Viking 25. The only Valley points in the second half were produced by the defense when Jeff Doughty fumbled at his own one, into the end zone and Laing covered the ball for safety.

"There were a lot more things we could have-done offensively, but the backs are bruished up and we seem to have run put of gas," observed Clouse. "We'worked very hard during the week, and the kids are tired. We're over-- coaching a little and trying to do too much."

Mike mobile boots54-yard FG Highlighted' by tremendous 54- yard Mike Zinobile field-goal, the Southern Huntingdon rolled to a relatively easy 17-6 victory over Northern Bedford at Roaring Spring on Saturday night.

The victory, their third in a row following losses to Huntingdon and Bellwood-Antis, elevated their season record to 3-2. The 17-point production was their highest in five games to date. Zinobile's unbelievable 54-yard boot, which cleared the uprights with plenty to spare, was the longest ever kicked in the area, and possibly in the district. Earlier -in the season, the dynamic Rocket senior boomed field goals of-36-and 41 yards, but the 54- yard accomplishment was by far his best ever. "I wasn't; sure myself whether I could kick one that far or not," the- amiable Rocket after the game.

"I-just gave it a try, and it went over," he laughed. The kick came very early in the third quarter, and had significant bearing on the outcome of the game, as Southern was on the long end of a 14-0 score at the time, thus easing the pressure on the kicker. Zinobile set the tone of the game on opening kickoff, as he sent the pigskin crashing into the end zone, where the receiver a wise decision by downing the ball. The Panthers remained.inside their own 30 on their first two series and only a good punt return got them out of the jam. On their second possession, Southern took over'af'their own 47, where they opened a drive which ultimately carried them to their initial touchdown.

The 53-yard march covered 11 plays, and culminated when Mark Smith scored the first of his two touchdowns, crashing over from the two with 15' seconds remaining in the first period. Zinobile booted the PAT, and Southern led 7-0. The very next time the Rockets had possession of the ball, they took off on another long scoring drive, which began on'their own 12. On the first play Zinobile took off on a 26-yard stint, with the last man down field pulling him down. Ryan Garlock kept the drive alive with a 37-yard heave to Kirbey Rough and a 17-yarder to Robbie Grajeda.

With 4:47 remaining in the half, Smith went'over from the three, and toe added the PAT to put Southern on the long end of a 14-0 score. Less than four minutes had faded away in the second half, and Southern found a fourth-and-seven staring it in the face, the ball on the Panther 36. At this point, Zinobile came to the fore for- his historic boot which put Southern in front 17-0. margin-held up until the very last play of the game when Northern Bedford broke the scoring ice and ended the Rockets' hope for. a' 'shutout.

Signal-caller Mike Reed passed to Scott Muthler from seven yards out for the Panther points. Ironically, just a year ago, Northern scored with a mere 16 seconds remaining to upend Southern, 24-22. After Zinobile's long field-goal on Saturday, the tone of the contest changed somewhat. While the Rockets didn't rest on their laurels, the Black Panthers became more determined. Northern controlled the Ball for 37 of the final 53 plays of the.

game. They were able to march onto Southern soil only twice in the contest, including the final scoring drive. "Our offensive effort was much improved out there tonight," Coach Brad Best said after the game. "We able to get sustained drives under way and they led to our scoring opportunities. The biggest pickup for us in the game was that big field goal by Zinobile.

It gave the kids a more confidence in the second half and helped us considerably."

The new surface, however, took a bit of getting used to and before the Tribe did, Hopkins had earned a 3-0 victory. All three Blue Jay scores came in the first half. The Indian defense was burned twice by Jackie Satula, JH inner.

Satula, in the 16th minute'and again in the 28th minute, eluded tier defender, got free for nice passes and quickly shot into the cage. The third Hopkins goal came off a corner hit about a minute before halftime. April Savoye took corner hit and converted. In the second half, JH once again dominated keeping the ball on JC's half of the field but the Indian defense stiffened. Hopkins out-shot the Tribe 16-4 and had 14 corners to JC's two.

"It was not a good showing, but the astroturf surface had a little to do with it," said disappointed Indian Coach Kathy Quinn. Juniata hosts Tuesday, at 3 p.m. FOOTBALL SCORES HIGH SCHOOL Area Juniata Valley 21. Glendale 6 So. Huntingdon 17, No.
