On a perfect Friday night for football, the 1-2 Upper Perkiomen Indians traveled to face the 0-3 Schuylkill Valley Panthers. The game was a “Gold Out’ theme at Panther Stadium.

The scoring started off on Upper Perk’s first drive of the game in an unexpected way. The Panthers forced a three and out. On the punt, however, the snap flew over Tyler Miller’s head and out of the end zone for a Panther safety. 

The Panthers mixed in two different quarterbacks all game. Michael Goad and Drew Campbell evenly split the snap count. Campbell ran a keeper to the left side for a 24-yard touchdown run to put the Panthers up 8-0.

On Upper Perk’s next drive, SV’s Michael Krishock tipped a pass into the air. His teammate Michael Goad intercepted it and ran it back 70 yards for a touchdown. This put the Panthers up 14-0.

The Indians found the end zone for the first time, capping off a 55-yard drive on a Dylan Hank three-yard run. However, the Panthers answered back with a touchdown pass from Goad to Campbell for 15 yards. The Panthers led 21-7 at the half.

Upper Perkiomen opened up the second half on a scoop-and-score touchdown from Brady Thompson on a fumbled pitch to make it 21-14. After that, the Panthers took full control and tacked on three more touchdowns. 

Colby Crills had a three-yard touchdown reception to put SV up 28-14. Campbell then had a one-yard touchdown run to put them up 35-14. Finally, Dominic Giuffre added to the scoring on a 54-yard touchdown reception to seal the game for a 42-14 Panther victory.

Both teams go to 1-3 heading into week five. Next week, Schuylkill Valley will face Kutztown at home. Upper Perk travels to Pope John Paul II.
