Tyrone Destroys Wildcats 61-0

cm-footballTYRONE — The home-standing Tyrone Golden Eagle football team played Friday night like a team on the rebound from a week ago when its hopes for an undefeated season went down the drain in a first-of-the season loss to Clearfield.

The Golden Eagles (7-1) went out and put on a first half clinic against undermanned Central Mountain, scoring from all over the field in building a 55-0 lead and coasting to a 61-0 victory over the struggling Wildcats, now 1-7.

For Central Mountain it was a lackluster performance, the squad again depleted by the absence of a number of its younger skill players; they were simply no match for the resurgent Golden Eagles.

The Wildcats never got untracked and Tyrone launched 28 first period points, two of the scores coming on Silas Crawford punt returns of 73 and 67 yards. Tyrone added four more touchdowns in period two in taking a 55-0 lead into the locker room at halftime.

Eagle coach Jason Wilson played reserves the entire second half but Central Mountain was still unable to get its offense untracked, shutout for the first time this season.
Reserve wingback Devin Yandell led Central Mountain in rushing with 33 yards on 3 carries. Leading rusher Hunter Weaver was kept in check all night, held to 26 yards on 15 carries.

And it won’t get any easier for the Wildcats. They finish against two undefeated District 4 foes. Next Friday night it is a trip to undefeated Southern Columbia, the Double-A powerhouse downing Lewisburg by a 31-14. And Halloween night, Oct. 31, the Wildcats will host undefeated Jersey Shore, the Bulldogs winning a 16-10 showdown over Selinsgrove (6-2) on Friday.
