Pattonsburg continued their juggernaut, downing Mack Anderson and Southwest Livingston 82-28 in a game that was effectively over by halftime. Southwest had beaten Pattonsburg the year before, and everything looked set for another tight game. They kept it close, trailing 24-14 at the end of one quarter. But then, Pattonsburg outscored Southwest 38-14 in the second to take a 62-28 lead at halftime. They played two quarters of lockdown defense, pitching a shutout to secure the win.
The big difference in the game was the turnover battle, as Pattonsburg picked off Southwest four times, while not surrendering the ball at all. Dakota Eaton had 2 picks, while Patrick Cowley and Cameron Jones each had one. Carter Crone continued to emerge as an anchor on defense; he posted his third straight game of double figure tackles, leading the team with 10 tackles.
Steven Willhite continued his assault on the eight man passing record currently held by Kobe Reynolds (North/West Nodaway). He has already clinched the passing title, and is now at 3,990 passing yards for the year. He needs 349 yards to pass Reynolds for the single season passing mark. Naturally, a revenge-minded Worth County squad will do everything in its power to keep him from reaching that mark. Willhite has already set the state record in passing touchdowns, getting 70 for the year as of Friday. He was tied with Reynolds at 61 going into Friday’s game and threw for nine, securing the record. He had 23 completions in 37 attempts for 474 yards. Kaden De Jong had 5 completions in 6 attempts for 41 yards.
For Pattonsburg, Cameron Jones had 6 catches for 207 yards, five of which went for scores. With that effort, he moved into the league lead in receiving yards, with 58 catches for 1,420 yards and 24 touchdowns. He passed Ryan Chamberlin (Northwest Hughesville), who had 1,268 receiving yards. He needs nine receiving touchdowns to pass the record currently held by Jakob Cordell (North/West Nodaway), set in 2015. Cordell set the mark with 33 touchdown receptions.
In other receiving numbers, Brett Emig had 6 catches for 105 yards, his highest total since the Norborne/Hardin-Central game during the middle of the season. Patrick Cowley had 8 catches for 83 yards, Trevor Ireland 3 catches for 53 yards, Carter Crone 1 catch for 34 yards, Collin Briggs 3 catches for 23 yards, and Kyle McChesney 1 catch for 18 yards.
Carter Crone had 10 tackles for the Panthers. Cameron Jones had 9, Logan Huitt, Patrick Cowley, and Lane Huitt all had 6, Trevor Ireland and Brett Emig had 5, Collin Briggs 3, and Dakota Eaton, Blake Hulett, and Gavin Garrett all had 2.
