Milton beats Shamokin in rematch of district title game

COAL TOWNSHIP — Milton (4-2, 2-1 HAC-I) overcame six fumbles — three that were lost, including a questionable one at the goal line in the second quarter — an end zone interception, and several penalties, in a 14-7 victory on Friday night at Shamokin in a rematch of last year's District 4 Class AAA title game.

Shamokin, which stopped Milton 1 yard shy of a district-winning TD a year ago, fumbled six times and lost four, three in the first half.

Jayson English and Jarred Fogelman each ran for a touchdown for the Black Panthers, combining for 144 yards on the ground.

Shamokin's lone score came when linebacker Erik Taylor took a Milton fumble 38 yards to the end zone to make it 7-all with 35.7 seconds left in the half. The teams combined for nine first-half fumbles, 12 overall.

  • Defense lifts Mount Carmel to Coal Bucket

    Shamokin decided to try some trickery on  third-and-10 from its own 32. Tucker Yost snapped the ball and handed it off to Preston Burns who started to run before stopping and looking back at Yost to try and throw it back to him.
    Burns let the pass go but could only cringe as Mount Carmel’s Mike Gilger read the play perfectly and made an interception he returned 36 yards down the far sideline for a Red Tornado touchdown.
