Week Three Football Previews
Friday
Region 1
Kennedy Catholic Golden Eagles (0-1, 0-1) at Conneaut Lake Indians (0-1, 0-2), Conneaut Lake Field, 7 p.m.
An extra week to prepare for their season opener didn't help Kennedy. The Golden Eagles only had 116 yards in total offense and committed four turnovers in last Saturday's 47-0 loss to Linesville.
That game could be an ominous sign for new coach Joe Kenneally. Kennedy graduated the brunt of its skill players from last season's District 10 Class A playoff team.
They could right themselves against another winless team in the region. Conneaut Lake will seek its first victory after it was dominated in losses to Saegertown and Lakeview.
The senior experience of quarterback Matt Morian and running back Cash Horne should make the difference.
Prediction: Conneaut Lake 27, Kennedy Catholic 13.

Region 2
Cambridge Springs Blue Devils (0-1, 1-1) at Youngsville Eagles (0-1, 0-2), Shine Field, 7 p.m.
Ouch.
The Cambridge Springs faithful aren't used to the kind of home losses the Blue Devils sustained last Friday.
Eisenhower scored touchdowns off five of Cambridge Springs' six turnovers in a 49-6 victory at Baird Memorial Field. Justin Shader averted a shutout when he scored on a 1-yard run in the second half.
Youngsville is in even more dire shape. The Eagles have been outscored 72-0 through their first two games, including last Friday's 29-0 region final at Maplewood.
Cambridge Springs plays on the road three of the next four weeks. This game should be a positive way to start that stretch.
Prediction: Cambridge Springs 28, Youngsville 6.

Conneaut Valley Indians (0-1, 0-2) at Iroquois Braves (0-1, 0-2), Iroquois Field, 7 p.m.
Two former Metro League coaches trade calls in this one.
The Indians' Jeff Dahlstrand was East's head coach for three seasons, while the Braves' Mike Mischler was Cathedral Prep's head coach when the Ramblers won the PIAA Class AAAA title in 2000.
Mischler's current team isn't anywhere close to that goal. Iroquois hasn't scored through its first two games, which included last Friday's 20-0 region loss at Saegertown.
They should take care of their scoring and winning problems against Conneaut Valley, which allowed nearly 300 rushing yards to Mercyhurst Prep in a 42-16 loss.
Prediction: Iroquois 22, Conneaut Valley 13.

Region 5
Franklin Knights (0-1, 1-1) at Meadville Bulldogs (1-0, 1-1), Bender Field, 7 p.m.
The Bulldogs didn't win a playoff game, but celebrated they had when they beat Warren 28-25 last Friday at Bender Field. Meadville ended a 15-game losing streak, the longest in its nearly 100 seasons of play.
The Bulldogs' victory was even more special given the circumstances. Running back Nick Fedorka sat out the game due to illness. That forced coach Mike Pendolino to shift quarterback Jon Roncolato into Fedorka's role and start sophomore Jarrod Kilburn behind center.
Kilburn defied his inexperience and threw for 175 yards and two touchdowns. Whether he starts again in light of Fedorka's situation remains to be seen.
Franklin solved Titusville's tough defense last Friday, but it wasn't enough in a 42-18 home loss. Meadville should be aware of wide receiver Tyler Bittner, who caught two touchdown passes vs. the Rockets.
Prediction: Meadville 20, Franklin 15.

Oil City Oilers (0-0, 0-2) at Titusville Rockets (1-0, 2-0), Carter Stadium, 7 p.m.
The Rockets' offense and special teams aren't shabby either.
Titusville rushed for 245 yards in last Friday's 42-18 victory at Franklin. Derek Carr accounted for 167 of them and scored the team's first four touchdowns.
John Proano scored the fifth when he returned the second-half kickoff 83 yards for a 35-0 lead.
The Oilers trailed Harbor Creek by the same score before they lost 35-14. Oil City would be wise to avoid such a deficit against the defending region champs.
Prediction: Titusville 34, Oil City 13.

Non-region
Linesville Lions (2-0) at Saegertown Panthers (2-0), Canon Memorial Field, 7 p.m.
The only thing that would make this one more anticipated was if it were a region matchup. No matter, the Lions and Panthers should make for an exciting early-season contest.
The former French Creek Valley Conference rivals are off to juggernaut starts.
Linesville outscored Conneaut Valley and Kennedy Catholic by a combined 96-0. The Lions' Doug Williams and Doug Farley rushed for more than 100 yards in both games, which included Farley's 171-yard effort in last Saturday's 47-0 win at Kennedy.
Saegertown proved its has more weapons than quarterback Zach Beatty and running backs Ian Price and Kyle Crum. Converted wide receiver Cody McCray rushed for 65 yards and a touchdown, while Drew Perry caught a 60-yard pass and recovered two fumbles in the Panthers' 20-0 victory over Iroquois.
If both teams continue to play like this, a rematch in the District 10 Class A playoffs would be plausible.
Prediction: Saegertown 27, Linesville 21.

Saturday
Region 1
Cochranton Cardinals (0-1, 1-1) at Mercer Mustangs (0-0, 1-1), Mercer Stadium, 7 p.m.
This could be a gauge about the Cardinals' true talent. Cochranton rolled visiting Maplewood 34-12 in its season opener, but was shut out 44-0 at West Middlesex last Friday.
Justin Angermeier was the difference in Mercer's 28-14 victory over Girard. Angermeier rushed for 194 yards and broke a fourth-quarter tie game with two touchdown runs.
Stopping the Mustangs' talented back will be Cochranton's main challenge.
Prediction: Mercer 28, Cochranton 13.

Region 2
Maplewood Tigers (1-0, 1-1) at Mercyhurst Prep Lakers (1-0, 2-0), Veterans Stadium, 7 p.m.
The Tigers will make a rare appearance in Erie to play the defending region champions.
Maplewood won its home opener with last Friday's 29-0 victory over Youngsville. The Tigers had nine different ball carriers in that game, topped by Nick Garcia's 95 yards and a touchdown. Jeremy Dunn scored two others.
The Tigers will need similar ground success if they are to beat the Lakers.
Mercyhurst rushed for nearly 300 yards in last Friday's 42-16 region win at Conneaut Valley. Lakers quarterback Marshall Huntsman also was an efficient 4-of-6 passing for 65 yards and a touchdown.
Prediction: Mercyhurst Prep 34, Maplewood 14.
