Perkins 35, Clyde 13
If Perkins rout of Huron last week was the cake, then Friday night's pounding of Clyde was the icing.

The Pirates continue to use a very balanced offensive attack and a potent defense, with the Fliers finding that out up close and personal last night at Firelands Regional Medical Center Stadium in a Sandusky Bay Conference loss to the Pirates.

Just a couple of defensive miscues, including a costly penalty, kept Perkins from a shutout.

For a majority of the game,the Pirate defense kept the Fliers from any consistency, and when Perkins had the ball it made the plays it needed to in racking up 449 yards of offense.

The victory puts the Pirates (6-1, 4-0) atop the SBC with Oak Harbor (6-1, 4-0) with three games to play. While the Pirates must play at Port Clinton and Margaretta,

Austin Sparks led the Perkins rushing attack with 145 yards on 10 carries.

Paul Cullen went 10-of-16 for 164 yards for the Fliers.

The victory snapped a nine-game losing streak in conference competition for the Panthers who usually play Saturday night contests at Cedar Point Stadium.

Green ripped of 240 yards rushing on 35 carries.

Addison Rospert rushed for 156 yards and threw for another 121 for the Redskins.

Edison 27, Margaretta 7
The Chargers amassed 349 yards rushing in Friday’s win.
