Nelsonville-York is looking to give their home crowd another W after opening their season at home on Friday. They came out on top against Trimble by a score of 21-14.
Nelsonville-York can attribute much of their success to Alec Thompson, who picked up 94 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and Austin Gautier, who rushed for 110 yards. Thompson was no stranger to the big play, lighting up the secondary with a catch that went for 67 yards.
Another reason for the win was Nelsonville-York's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for four sacks.
