Cedar Crest 33, Central Dauphin East 7

In Week 1, CD East thumped Reading by a score of 55-6 and looked to be a formidable opponent for the Falcons, even after they shutout Northeast last week.  Crest got on the board first, taking a 6-0 lead following a TD goal line plunge by Fernando Marquez.  CD East did not let Crest lead for long and quickly took a 7-6 lead.  However, this would be the last time that East would have the comfort of knowing that they had Crest on the ropes.  Quarterback Jackson Custer broke a 54-yard run to put his Falcons up 13-7 before halftime.

In the 2nd half, Alejandro Abreu got the scoring started with a 28-yard TD run.  Leo Tirado then returned  a pick six to drive the score to 26-7.  Marquez would add another TD as he rumbled through traffic on an impressive 18-yard run to the end zone. The defense held CD East in check, preserving the victory to move Cedar Crest to 2-0.

Garden Spot 45, Lebanon  7

Following last week’s loss to Palmyra, no one knew how the Cedars would respond this week. Garden Spot tried to answer that question early, scoring two TDs and kicking a 29-yard FG to make the score 17-0 after the 1st quarter.  The Cedars answered and started to put together some sustained drives, racking up key yardage during the 2nd quarter. They eventually connected when Kareem Stoner dropped a 21-yard pass to Braylon Beaver for a TD that made the score 17-7 at the half.

In the 2nd half, Garden Spot built a 24-7 lead with a QB keeper that resulted in a 15-yard TD run. On the ensuing kickoff, sophomore Malachi Briddell returned the ball 95-yards before it was called back as the result of a costly penalty.  The Cedars showed some signs of life after that, but Garden Spot added three more scores before the final whistle.

Lebanon is now 0-2 on the young season.
