HUNTINGDON -- There weren't any titles at stake. There wasn't even a season-ending victory, but the Juniata College Eagles had plenty to celebrate as they honored the college careers of 11 upperclassmen on Senior Day.
Among those seniors were Midd-West High School standouts Hunter Wolfley and Ben Umstead. Wolfley carried the ball 23 times for 97 yards and a touchdown and caught three passes for minus 1 yard and Umstead added three assisted tackles in a 56-22 loss to Catholic University Saturday at Knox Stadium.
The Eagles ended the season at 2-8 overall and 1-5 in the Landmark Conference.
Sophomore Makih Hunt (Juniata High School/Port Royal) had one reception for five yards and junior Carter Sauer kicked a 39-yard field goal and his only PAT attempt along with averaging 38.5 yards on a pair of kickoffs.
Catholic (5-5, 3-3) grabbed a 14-6 lead in the opening quarter as the Cardinals sandwiched a pair of scores around a 5-yard run by Juniata's Ivan Foreman. Catholic extended that margin to 42-9 at the half as the Eagles only musted a field goal by Sauer in the second quarter.
Trailing 56-15 in the fourth, Wolfley found the endzone with a 20-yard TD run with 1:35 to play to set the final. Sauer added the PAT.
Juniata quarterback Calvin German, also a senior, finished 26 of 43 for 247 yards and one TD.
LOCK HAVEN 21, GANNON 13
ERIE -- Lock Haven closed out the season with a 21-13 road victory against Gannon at McConnell Family Stadium on Saturday in a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference matchup. The Bald Eagles (5-6, 3-4 PSAC) have put together back-to-back five-win campaigns.
Lock Haven quarterback Jackson Ostrowsky ended his record-breaking season by throwing for 278 yards and two touchdowns with a 25-of-43 performance. Bald Eagles running back Damir Green added 101 yards on 15 carries and 1 TD. Record-breaking wideout T'iar Young hauled nine catches for 112 yards, including a TD catch late in the first half that put Lock Haven up 14-10 at halftime.
After a field goal by Bryson Costa brought Gannon with a point, Green's 9-yard run in the fourth quarter set the final.
Lock Haven's defense helped secure the win by picking off four passes, with Darryl Pollard grabbing a pair. The Bald Eagles finished with 13 interceptions this season, which ranked third in the PSAC.
