Tigers take down Nanticoke

The Tunkhannock Tigers traveled to Nanticoke to take on the Trojans. The Tigers are coming off a loss to Dallas. Nanticoke is coming off a road loss at Pittston Area. Both teams are looking for their first win of the year.
Tunkhannock would start with the ball and would start the drive off well going into Trojan territory but the Trojans’ Keanu Ammons would get an interception to end the drive. The Trojans’ first drive would end in a botched punt and Tunkhannock would get at the Trojan 5 yard line and Gavin D’Amato would get in on the first play of the drive on a five yard touchdown run and a 7-0 Tunkhannock lead. On the ensuing kickoff, Ammons would return the kickoff 96 yards to tie the game at 7. The Tigers would go three and out but the punt return would be fumbled and recovered by Tunkhannock. The Tigers would get all the way to the Trojan 13 yard line but the Tigers would fumble and Nanticoke would recover. The Trojans would have a turnover on downs on the next drive and two plays later, Jack Chilson would go to Jake Frisco for a 37 yard touchdown and a 14-7 Tunkhannock lead. The Trojans would have another drive that would result in a turnover on downs. The Tigers would go three and out on the next drive. The Trojans next drive would result in Butczynski going to Darren Boseman for an 11 yard touchdown to tie the game at 14 with 8:10 remaining in the second quarter. The next few drives would result in a punt or a fumble until the end of the second quarter when the Tigers would take over at their own 29 and would drive down the field and end with Chilson going to Frisco for a 17 yard touchdown for a 21-14 Tunkhannock lead as we head to halftime.
The Tigers would recover the kickoff and would end with a field goal to make it a 24-14 game. The Trojans would punt on their first drive of the second half. The Tigers would get a 64 yard touchdown run by D’Amato for a 31-14 Tigers lead. Another three and out for the Trojans would result in another Tunkhannock touchdown with Ty Konen going in from 31 yards out and a 38-14 lead as we headed to the end of the third quarter. The Tigers would cruise and take the road victory at Nanticoke 38-14.
