Where: Panther Valley Stadium, Lansford.
Is the new Pistol Offense ready to pop; can one team overcome early season adversity and find a way to win?
That’s what’s on tap this evening for Panther Valley when it tries to fire up the engine with a new offensive look, while Mahanoy Area will try and regroup after losing its starting quarterback in the preseason.
A year ago at this time, new PV coach Frank Damian’s squad came up with a 13-7 win, but after that it was tough to get into the win column, though the Panthers hung tough most of the way winning only two more times out.
Panther Valley will try and exploit the talents of junior quarterback Casey Lawrence who threw for over 400-plus yards down the stretch and he is a seasoned player at his position.
Mahanoy Area on the other hand, is small, down in numbers and lost its quarterback during the first-week of preseason when veteran Brad Klinger’s season ended with a shoulder injury.
How important was Klinger? Last season he completed 48-of-69 passes for 558 yards after Quick moved him under center and switched Jimmy Wronski to wing.
Now the Golden Bears will engage untested sophomore Jordan Mroczka at the position, while veteran running back Kyle Sisak who rushed for a team-high 591 yards last fall on 127 carries, returns in the backfield to carry the load.
Next Friday, Sept 5, 7 p.m.: Jim Thorpe at Mahanoy Area; Schuylkill Valley at Panther Valley.
