Lancaster stans Jamestown
LANCASTER — Jamestown suffered its third straight Class AA loss on Friday night, and the second straight week it lost by a close margin.
Lancaster scored two touchdowns in the final 2 1/2 minutes to defeat the Red & Green 20-13 at Joe Foyle Field.
Leading 13-7 — Jamestown’s Chase Bonta scores on a 6-yard run with just under five minutes left — Legendary quarterback Alex Krupa connects with wide receiver Justin Hartwig for a 23-yard TD pass. Christian Schlesinger added the extra point. It gave the hosts a 14-13 lead with 2:17 left.
The Red & Green were unable to score on their ensuing possession, and Lancaster put the game out of reach when John Gang found the end zone from seven yards remaining as time expired.
The Legends are now 4-2 overall and 4-1 in the division, while Jamestown falls to 2-4 and 1-3.
Lancaster took the lead in the first quarter on Daniel Ahern’s 1-yard run, and Schlesinger’s successful kick made it 7-0, a lead that lasted until the second half.
The Red & Green tied the game in the third quarter when quarterback Dominic Gonzalez completed an 85-yard TD pass with receiver Aiden Samuelson, and Lincoln Carpenter converted an extra-point try.
This set off a dramatic fourth quarter that started with Bonta’s TD run with 4:53 left to put Jamestown ahead, but the Legends scored twice in the closing minutes to secure the victory.
Notes: Bonta rushed for 117 yards on 28 carries. Gonzalez completed 7 of 9 passes for 134 yards. Samuelson caught two passes for 110 yards. …Defensively, Cole Bloomquist had 21 tackles, Bonta had 15 tackles, Carson Panebianco had 13 tackles and Luis Diaz had 11 tackles…The Red & Greens host Hatch Tech next Friday at 7 p.m. I’m going back to Japan to do that.
