Undefeated Preble Shawnee overwhelms Twin Valley South 48-7



West Alexandria, Ohio: Last night I made the 1:45-minute drive to Twin Valley South High School to watch their battle with Preble Shawnee. This was my first time taking in a game at Twin Valley South and my first time catching a game at their stadium.

The Arrows needed just six plays to take a 14-0 lead with 7:49 left in the opening quarter. The first score came on a 31-yard run by Lane Lovely. The second score came on an 11-yard catch by Isaac Blankenship. Both point-after kicks were good off of the foot of Colton Schroeder. The Arrows defense would make the last big play of the opening quarter when Bryson Doran got to Twin Valley South ball carrier Conner Mowell for a loss of two.

The Panthers defense would have a bright moment when Lucas Barlow sacked Brody Morton for a short loss. Later in the quarter, the Arrows defense stood tall when Caleb Blankenship picked off a pass. A 32-yard run by Reece Smith helped set up a 4-yard touchdown run by Lovely, making this a 21-0 game with 3:27 left in the half.

With 10:21 left in the third, Smith galloped to a 19-yard gain, setting up a Morton to Isaac Blankenship to make this a 27-0 game second seconds later. The Arrows seemed almost bored as they methodically worked the ball up and down the field, while the Panthers continued to give everything they had to try and make this a game.

The Panthers would get a 14-yard pass from Caden Bishop to Mason Crews, but the drive ended a short time later when Bishop found Crews for a 12-yard touchdown to make this a 27-7 game with 3:33 left in the quarter. The drive total was 45 yards, taking 7 plays.

A 41-yard run to the left by Isaac Blankenship, followed by a 15-yard run from Lovely, would set up the next score for the Arrows, which came on a 2-yard Lovely run to make this a 34-7 game.

The final frame would see Reece Smith score on a 1-yard run to put the Arrows up 41-7. Then a Smith pick helped set up the Arrows final scree that came on a 12-yard run from Nolan Earles to give us our final score of 48-7.

2024 With Head Coach Jake Heigel from Brockway High School, PA.

  Jake Heigel Brockway High  Head Football Coach Who was the best player you have ever coached against, and what team did he play for? Carson Neely, Port Allegany  Looking back from day one as a coach up to the present, what have been the low and high points of your coaching career? 2020 was a rough first year. We had maybe 15 kids on the roster in preseason sometime in late June. We ended up with probably 6 starters who had never played football in their lives, which isn’t exactly a recipe for success! I was also ejected from our game against Cowanesque Valley. We lost to DuBois 49-0 to end the difficult season... The future did not look so bright. - But fast forward to 2022, where we won our first playoff game 62-6. Followed that up with a win against the reigning western finals champion, Redbank Valley, in a 7-3 fist fight to advance to the D9 championship. In 2023, we won an overtime thriller against DuBois Area 14–13, avenging a 1-point loss at the 1-yard line the year prior.

Small school football

  As the 2024 football season approaches, I want to say thank you to all of the players, coaches, cheerleaders, band members, officials, and all of the school staff for the good times you are about to give thousands of fans this year. As a fan and a person who covers games, I often get asked why I go to as many smaller school games as I do, and I always tell those asking that there is something special about driving into a small town or village and seeing signs wishing the team well. The crowds might not be as large as the bigger school games, but to a certain extent, they are more into it. I believe that is because almost everyone knows everyone, and it is really a community by itself. The players put their pads on the same as the players at the bigger schools, and they, as with the bigger schools, give it their all as much as they can. The biggest difference some will say is talent; others will say size and speed; but more often than not, at a small school, most of the players are
