— Grove City 41, Sharon 25 — At Tiger Stadium, the Eagles (1-1, 2-2) pulled away in the Region 3 clash by outscoring Sharon 21-0 in the second quarter.
Grove City quarterback Hunter Hohman scored a pair of rushing touchdowns (14 and 47 yards) and threw a 54-yard TD pass to Gavin Lutz.
Anthony Nemec added a pair of rushing touchdowns for the Eagles while Lutz picked off a pass and returned it 40 yards for a score and Nate Greer scooped up a fumble and returned it 78 yards for a touchdown.
The two defensive touchdowns are the fourth and fifth of the season for Grove City. The Eagles have scored at least one defensive TD in every game this season.
Hohman was 7-of-13 for 183 yards and Lutz pulled in five passes for 144 yards, a career high. His previous mark was 142 receiving yards against Northwestern in Week 2.
For Sharon (1-1, 2-2), quarterback Mikey Rodriques rushed for a touchdown and threw a pair of touchdown tosses to Jayveerh White (20 yards) and Rayvion Wilbon-Venable (22 yards). Karemez Norris also scored on a 55-yard run.
Rodriques, who surpassed 2,000 career passing yards (2,095) in the game, was 17-of-31 for 170 yards and led the team in rushing (14-62). Lamont Austin made four catches for 63 yards.
— Wilmington 22, Hickory 21 — At Hornet Stadium, the Hounds (2-0, 3-1) scored all of its points in the fourth quarter and went ahead on a 2-point conversion run late by Tyler Mikulin to defeat the Hornets (0-2, 2-2) in a Region 3 thriller.
Hickory led 14-0 at halftime on a pair of touchdown runs by Sean Kennedy (2 and 32 yards) and Lukas Jones extra-point kicks.
Wilmington tied the game in the fourth on TD runs by Ben Miller (5 and 18 yards) and PATs by James Winters.
Luke Nevil gave the Hornets a 21-14 lead by scoring on a 1-yard TD toss from Logan Woods and Jones' kick, but Buddah Book hauled in a 7-yard TD pass from Tuff McConahy late and Mikulin powered his way into the end zone for the win.
McConahy was 8-of-14 for 74 yards for the Hounds. Miller (13-61) led the ground game and Mikulin caught five passes for 42 yards.
Woods was 22-of-35 for 161 yards with three interceptions. He surpassed 3,000 career passing yards (3,114) in the game. Kennedy rushed for 76 yards and Nevil grabbed six passes for 64 yards.
Keenan Scullin had an interception for Hickory while McConahy picked off two passes for the Hounds and Ben Miller had the other one.
* Reynolds 46, Cambridge Springs 6 — At Cambridge Springs, Jalen Wagner rushed for 202 yards (22 carries) and scored two touchdowns as the Raiders (2-0, 3-1) grabbed the Region 1 victory.
Wagner, who has rushed for 3,430 career yards, had touchdown runs of one and 44 yards. The senior running back moved into fourth in progam history, surpassing 2001 graduate Deacon Jones' 3,387 rushing yards. The top three are Ron Park (4,537, 1987 grad), Mike Millero (4,345, 2014), and Joel Laird (3,470, 1992).
Haydin McLaughlin also scored a pair of touchdowns for the Raiders. He broke loose for a 79-yard TD run and hauled in a 65-yard touchdown pass from Brayden McCloskey.
Brayden McCloskey also scored on a 3-yard touchdown run, Andrew McCloskey picked off a pass and returned it 53 yards for a score, and Vito Gentile reached the end zone from five yards out.
Brayden McCloskey was 3-of-9 for 150 yards while McLaughlin had 78 rushing yards on only two carries.
Cambridge Springs' only touchdown came in the third quarter on a 1-yard pass from Morgan Applebee to Tristen Mazzadra.
Applebee was 11-of-22 for 135 yards with two interceptions. Jones (11-28) was the Blue Devils' leading rusher and Ethan Counasse (3-72) led the receiving corps.
With the loss, Cambridge Springs fell to 2-1 in Region 1 and 2-2 overall.
* Lakeview 24, Maplewood 7 — At Guys Mills, coach Bill Hickman's Sailors improved to a perfect 3-0 in Region 1 and 3-1 overall with the win over the Tigers (1-2, 2-2).
The Lakeview defense turned in an impressive performance with six interceptions — three by Evan Sanford and the others by Cameron Pence, Danick Hinkson, and Leyton Zacherl.
"The six interceptions was my first as a coach," said Lakeview mentor Bill Hickman. "Our defense played lights out and limited their star running back to very minimal yardage."
The Sailors went up 7-0 in the first quarter on a 10-yard interception return by Pence and Mitchell Tingley's extra-point kick. Tinley booted a 25-yard field goal in the second quarter to make it 10-0.
Lakeview tacked on a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns by Pence (11-yard run) and Tingley (9-yard run). Tinley converted both PATs.
Maplewood's lone score was in the fourth frame on a 10-yard TD pass from Andrew Proper to Dominick Kinney.
Pence was 2-of-5 for 23 yards for Lakeview while Tingley rushed for 103 yards on 19 carries. Zacherl (1-17) and Sean Cole (1-6) caught passes for the Sailors.
