Huntingdon had to skate by with only a one-point margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 30-point drubbing they dealt Central on Friday. The Bearcats really took it to the Dragons for the full four quarters, racking up a 49-19 victory. With that win, the Bearcats brought their scoring average up to 26.7 points per game.

Evan Edmiston went supernova, rushing for 148 yards and three scores on only 15 carries. Those 148 rushing yards gave him a new career-high. Another back making a difference was Landon Erdman, who rushed for 101 yards and one TD on only nine carries.

They were just one part of a punishing run game: Huntingdon was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 272 rushing yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Central only rushed for 114.

When it comes to explaining why Central lost, don't look at Carter Schenk. Despite the final result, he picked up 85 receiving yards, and also punched in one touchdown on the ground. Semaj Musei handled things on the ground, rushing for 80 yards.

Huntingdon's victory was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 5-1. A key ingredient in that success has been their performance when it comes to yards per carry: they averaged an imposing 6.8 yards per carry in those games compared to only 3.27 in the others. As for Central, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-5.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming contests. Huntingdon will venture away from home to face off against Tyrone at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Golden Eagles' defense has only allowed 14.6 points per game this season, so the Bearcats' offense will have their work cut out for them. As for Central, they are taking a road trip to challenge Penns Valley Area at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Dragons will be up against the Rams' rather soft defense (which has allowed 31.83 points per game), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance.
