Patuxent football pulls away from Perryville to reach state playoffs
PERRYVILLE — After being tied at seven out of the halftime break, Patuxent — the reigning 2025 Class 1A and 2024 Class 2A/1A state champions — scored 21 unanswered points to defeat Perryville 28-7 and reach next week’s Class 1A state quarterfinals. Patuxent broke the 7-7 tie with 9:38 left in the fourth quarter on a 3-yard rushing score by Antoine Wilkins, who accounted for 35 rushing yards on the eight-play scoring drive. Following a Perryville three-and-out, Patuxent used a four-play, 36-yard drive that was capped off by a 24-yard rush from quarterback Brayden Watson to go up 21-7 with 6:06 remaining. Patuxent followed with an interception on the ensuing Perryville drive by Nate Scriber with 4:15 left. “I just think we kind of got fatigued there at the end,” Perryville head coach Dan Basara said of Patuxent’s consecutive scoring drives. “I think it kind of showed.” Patuxent (5-6) will be the No. 8 seed in the state playoffs and will visit No. 1 Fort Hill (10-0) next week. “Being 3-6 in the regular season, no matter if we play in a tough league or not, is tough.

Elkton football shuts out Rising Sun, captures third consecutive state tournament bid
ELKTON – A three-touchdown performance from senior Isaiah Yates helped propel Elkton past county rival Rising Sun 36-0 in the pair’s Class 2A/1A North second round region playoff matchup Friday evening. With the win, Elkton secured its third consecutive state tournament berth. The Golden Elks are the No. 2 seed in the Class 2A/1A bracket and will host No. 7 seed Hereford in the state quarterfinals next week. Yates made his impact felt on both sides of the ball, hauling in both a 20-yard and a 70-yard touchdown reception from Elkton quarterback Ziel Cleveland. Yates added a 35-yard interception return for a touchdown on the defensive side to cap off a three score night. While producing on the field in the season’s biggest moments, Yates embodies the brand of football that Elkton head coach CJ Ponzo wants his program to represent and has been a key asset to the team’s undefeated season thus far. “To me, he’s the perfect example of what being a Golden Elk means,” Ponzo said of Yates. “He comes here every day ready to work hard, he is a great leader, he builds his teammates up, he tries to push guys to be better and he
