Panther 8^th Grade Football Team Defeats Marion Local 12-0
Story by T. Kirk Stephenson
 

The Parkway 8^th grade football team picked up their first win of the season on Sept. 4 by defeating the Marion Local Flyers.  The two teams battled back-n-forth the first half with the score still knotted at 0-0 at halftime.  At the start of the second half, the Flyers seemed to be in control of the game moving the football steadily down the field against the Panther defense.  With short yardage to go on a second down play, the Flyers fumbled the football which was quickly scooped up by linebacker Keith Roman who scrambled down the field 59 yards before being brought down deep in the Flyer territory.  Two plays later, running back Sam Dellinger broke through a couple of tackles and was on his way to a 26 yard touchdown and Parkway’s first score of the game to make it 6-0. 

The battle continued into the 4^th quarter and the Panther’s defense stopped it once again and caused the Flyer offense to cough up the football one more time, which was recovered by linesman Tyler Matthews.  A few snaps later and running back Sam Dellinger was off to the races again.  This time for a 58 yard touchdown score that put the Panthers up 12-0 and sealed the game.  On the night the defense was lead by Keith Roman, Jordan Strader, Brandon Moorman, and Brandon Leonard who all recorded 4 tackles each.  Roman and Matthew’s also recorded one fumble each for the defense.  On the offensive side of the ball, Sam Dellinger lead the attack with 2 TD’s and 90 plus yards of rushing.  Also contributing to the offense was Jack Roth with 17 yards of receiving.  The 8^th grade team will be on the road this Thursday (9/11) as they travel south to take on the Anna Rockets.  Good Luck Panthers !!!!
