ä Sharpsville 42, Linesville 7 — At McCracken Field in Sharpsville, the Blue Devils (6-2, 7-2) secured the No. 2 spot behind Farrell in Region 1-A with a victory over the Lions (5-2, 7-2).

Junior fullback Marcus Llewellyn rumbled for 245 yards and scored 4 touchdowns as the Blue Devils rolled to the win.

Llewellyn gave Sharpsville a 6-0 lead in the 1st quarter on a 19-yard TD run. Jonathan Wilson booted the PAT to make it 7-0.

In the 2nd quarter, Llewellyn scored on a 12-yard run and Wilson added the extra-point for a 14-0 lead. That TD was set up on a big 58-yard run by Llewellyn.

Sharpsville made a statement just before halftime by putting together a 12-play, 96-yard drive that was capped on a 5-yard touchdown pass from Frank Joseph to Nate Titus. Wilson added the PAT as the Blue Devils took a 21-0 lead into the break.

In the 3rd quarter, Llewellyn scored on a 5-yard run and Wilson’s kick gave the Blue Devils a 28-0 advantage.

Linesville cut the lead to 28-7 early in the 4th frame on a 24-yard TD pass from Trevor Litwiler to Jack Sindlinger and Litwiler’s PAT.

Sharpsville answered on their next possession with a 6-yard TD run by Joseph. Llewellyn would later add a 19-yard TD run.

Titus finished the game with 106 yards rushing on 12 carries.

Sindlinger led Linesville’s ground game with 40 yards on 5 carries. Litwiler was 12-of-27 for 176 and 1 interception. Litwin caught 4 of his passes for 70 yards.

ä Oil City 19, Hickory 0 — At Hornet Stadium, it was no Koyack, no comeback, no clinching.

The host Hornets had an opportunity to control their own playoff destiny Saturday night, and the Oilers were without their NCAA Division I tight end prospect Ben Koyack.

But unlike a year ago when Hickory rallied from a 31-7 halftime deficit to post a 42-38 shootout win at Oil City, the Hornets were held to just 83 total yards and 4 first downs by the Oilers.
