Pennsylvania High School Football Huddle
A turnover in the Royals' opening series resulted in Bucktail taking an 8-0 lead. Pius then put-up 43 unanswered points, but first-year head coach Phil Stambaugh wasn't happy with his young team's first half performance.
"Too many mental mistakes," said Stambaugh after the Royals improved to 2-3 with its second straight win. "This team is young, but we're now five games into the season. We need to improve every week if we stand a chance to achieve our goal of qualifying for the District 11 playoffs.
14-year old freshman quarterback AJ Long shook-off the opening drive fumble to complete 13-of-17 passes for 248 yards and four touchdowns. Junior wide receiver Matt Camilletti caught two of the TD throws. Sophomore running back Boise Ross rushed for 99 yards on 11 carries and one touchdown; he also scored on a 58 yard punt return to start the second half.
