Jim Thorpe 7
The loss drops the Olympian JVs to 3-2 on the season. JT fumbled the first snap of the game and 1 play later Minersville grabbed a 6-0 lead on a 25yd touchdown pass. Later in the first quarter Tony Mistretta would score the only Thorpe TD on a 35yd run. Andrew Watterson made the extra point and JT held the lead at half 7-6.
The JT offense would not be consistent for the rest of the evening. Billy Rieck had a 25yd reception on a screen pass from Kyle Busocker. Busocker also had a long cut-back run late in the 3rd quarter. On defense, Nate Jones intercepted a pass and the Olympians recovered 2 fumbles. The Olympians could not contain the Minersville running attack. A third quarter score pushed the Miner lead to 12-7 and the Miners secured the game with another rushing TD late in the 4th quarter.
