Johnstown football unable to get off heels against Claymont
JOHNSTOWN - A 90-mile bus ride did not affect the Claymont football team on Nov. 6. No. 5 Claymont scored within the game’s first two minutes and took the fight to No. 4 Johnstown. The Johnnies (8-3) tied the game at 13 but never led, falling 35-19 to the visiting Mustangs in a Division IV, Region 15 quarterfinal at Frank H. Chambers Stadium. “We hadn’t done a real good job a lot of times on our opening drive, so I said, ‘We need to take it down and score a touchdown.’ That gave everyone the confidence that we needed to take this win,” said Claymont coach Buddy White, whose team scored 1:53 into the game on 2-yard TD run by Calvin Edwards. Three other Mustangs eventually scored as they racked up 22 unanswered points, spanning late in the second quarter to early in the fourth, to put them firmly in control. "It is really awesome, being able to come into their home stadium and beat them the way that we did," Claymont senior lineman Brody Cameron said. "Our offensive line has been challenged the last couple weeks, playing some really hard-nosed football." Claymont (11-1) visits No. 1 Indian Valley (10-0),
