Scranton Prep traveled to Wilkes-Barre on Saturday night to take on Coughlin. Scranton Prep came in looking for their first win of the season whereas Coughlin was looking to go to 2-0 on the season. Scranton Prep started the game with the ball and moved the ball to their own 48 but a loss of 5 on second down and a pass short of the first down forced the Cavaliers to punt. Coughlin would get the ball with good field position after Scranton Prep had a bad snap and the Crusaders got it at the Scranton Prep 33 but couldn't capitalize and had to punt and pinned the Cavaliers to their own 10 yard line. They converted a 3 and 4 with Jake Ryan throwing to Tom Doherty for 10. On the next set of downs on 3rd and 14, Jake Ryan threw to Mario Giannone and got 37 to get to the Coughlin 41. Ryan then connected to Jake Grady for 18 on 2nd and 15. Coughlin looked like they would hold Prep to no points after Jake Cole sacked Ryan on 3rd down but Jake Ryan went on Jake Grady for a 30 yard touchdown pass, they missed the PAT and it was a 6-0 Scranton Prep lead. Coughlin looked to answer and got into Scranton Prep territory but Kyle Polishan sacked Kevin Kozerski and on the next play Kozerski was intercepted by Jake Ryan to end the drive. Scranton Prep looked to capitalize but couldn't and was forced to punt. Scranton Prep then forced a Coughlin 3 and out. Scranton Prep on the next two plays got big runs from Ricky Morgan and Braden Burrier who got 15 and 20 respectively getting to midfield. Ryan then connected with Giannone on a diving catch for 33 yards to the Coughlin 16 but couldn't move it past the 14 and attempted a field goal and made it to make it 9-0 Cavaliers with 2:10 remaining in the second quarter. On the next possession, Kozerski went to Melvin Robinson for 11 on 3rd and 7 but Kozerski would be intercepted by Jake Grady and we would go to halftime with Scranton Prep leading 9-0. The opening kick of the 2nd half was misplayed by the Crusaders and the Cavaliers took over at the Crusader 17. The Crusaders looked like they would force a field goal attempt on 4th and 3 at the 11 but jumped offsides on to give Prep a first down and two plays later, Ricky Morgan would score from 3 yards out and the PAT would be made to make it 16-0 with 10:01 left in the 3rd. Scranton Prep and Coughlin traded three and outs on their possessions. Coughlin started off by going to Melvin Robinson for 8 and then Jake Cole ran for 8 on 2nd and 2 for a first down, but ended up short on 3rd down and tried to go for it on 4th down but a false start forced them to punt. Scranton Prep started by gaining 6 yards on the first two plays from Morgan and Ryan, after a Coughlin offsides, Ryan connected with Grady on a 41 yard pass play to the Coughlin 10. Three plays later, Ryan went to Braden Burrier for a 7 yard Touchdown pass and with the PAT made it 23-0 with 39.5 to go in the third quarter. Coughlin went 3 and out on the next possession and looked like they would get a chance to score after Jervone Young picked off Ryan and returned it to the Scranton Prep 29. The Coughlin possession had a heavy dose of Jake Cole and had a first and goal at the 9, but on 3rd and goal, Kozerski was sacked by Anthony Rossi and on fourth down, the pass was deflected and went incomplete, forcing a turnover on downs. Ricky Morgan started the drive with an 11 yard run but the Prep offense couldn't get another first down and were forced to punt but the snap went out of the end zone and made it 23-2. On the Coughlin, Kozerski went to the end zone and was intercepted by Jake Ryan to seal the victory for Scranton Prep.
Thoughts on the game: Scranton Prep looked really good. Jake Ryan looked like the best player on the field on both sides of the ball. Picking off two passes on defense and throwing 2 touchdown passes and had 212 yards. Coughlin's penalties killed them during the game. They could have had Prep settle for a field goal but go offside and then score 2 plays later.
