LEWISTOWN — What was a solid start for the Lewistown Panthers quickly turned south Friday night at Mitchell Field. Lewistown, on its opening possession, moved the ball into Huntingdon territory at the 38-yard line, but the next four plays were a sack, a blocked punt, a 30-yard Huntingdon pass and a 9-yard touchdown run by the Bearcats’ Scott Minor — and the Panthers were never the same again. Huntingdon went onto spoil the Lewistown homecoming with a 34-0 defeat of the Panthers. “We were encouraged by the good start, coming out and moving the ball well,” Panthers coach Allen Muir said. “A lot of times you can go back and look on film and pick out five or six plays that are difference makers in games. The unfortunate thing is that you never know what those plays are going to be until after the fact. We just need to continue to keep working and trying to get that consistency.
