McDowell 0, Peters Township 0:
We're 20 minutes into the game, and neither team has dominated the early going. Peters Towsnhip just had the first corner kick, but did not score.

Class AA football
Sharon 7, Fairview 0:
Late in the first quarter. Fairview's high-powered ground game is matched against quarterback Todd Rearick and Sharon's potent passing attack. Sharon is backed up deep in its own territory at the 4-yard line.

Rearick was strong on the opening drive, but Fairview's defense has responded the past two possessions.

Rearick completes his second TD pass of the game, this one 8 yards to Mike Tomko. He earlier completed a TD pass to Louis Brown. Sharon drives 96 yards for the TD.

McDowell 0, Peters Township 0:
Halftime. Uneventful first half, for the most part. Peters Township is playing very physical defense when McDowell gets within 30 yards of the goal.

Class AA football
Sharon 28, Fairview 0:
Rearick completes yet another TD pass -- a third to Mike Tomko. This one is getting out of hand. Fairview needed to control the ball to keep it out of Rearick's hands but hasn't moved the ball consistently. Tomko has six catches for more than 160 yards.
