HS Football: Tunkhannock defeats Honesdale, snaps 21-game losing streak

<p>HANOVER TWP. &#8212; For the fifth time on the night, a Hanover Area snap went sailing wide of the mark.</p><p>The first four times, the Hawkeyes could only run back and fall on the loose ball for a big loss. The fifth one was low enough that the Hawks were able to pick it up and throw it.</p><p>Right to Northwest defensive lineman Brendan Riley.</p><p>The former running back quickly secured the interception and was on his way for a 28-yard touchdown, the cherry on top of a memorable Rangers defensive performance in a 36-7 victory at Hanover Area.</p><p>&#8220;We had great pressure on the quarterback,&#8221; Riley said of his touchdown. &#8220;(Hawkeyes running back Tyheim Taylor) was behind me screaming, &#8216;Yo, I&#8217;m here, I&#8217;m here.&#8217; Probably could have lobbed it up, but he threw it right into my gut.</p><p>&#8220;Just an early Christmas present, I guess.&#8221;</p><p>One that was well-earned by the Rangers. What was only a 15-7 Northwest lead at the half quickly ballooned as the defense dominated Hanover Area after coming back from the locker room.</p><p>The Hawkeyes offense had zero points, zero first downs and minus-17 total yards in the second half, highlighted by Riley&#8217;s touchdown.</p><p>&#8220;That&#8217;s his second interception of the year,&#8221; Rangers coach Lon Hazlet said with a smile. &#8220;And he wanted everybody to know that he&#8217;s got more than the secondary.</p><p>&#8220;He&#8217;s a tremendous athlete. He&#8217;s a 285-pound kid, and he can run. He&#8217;s physical and it was a lot of fun to see him do that. He&#8217;s a real emotional leader of our team.&#8221;</p><p>Riding the momentum of last week&#8217;s stunning double-overtime win over GAR, Northwest (3-2) also got it done with the running game this week. Quarterback Jeremy Walsh (133 yards, TD) and tailback Garrett Reese (132 yards, two TDs) consistently grinded out yards on a brisk and misty night. Walsh and Reese also picked up a pair of two-point conversions through the air and on the ground, respectively.</p><p>Though the heavy rain had stopped before kickoff, the wet field was still a factor throughout the night as players occasionally lost their footing and the officiating crew had to wipe off the ball after most plays.</p><p>That may have contributed to the constant problems for the Hawkeyes on their shotgun snaps. In all, Hanover Area (1-4) lost 57 yards on misfires from center. Northwest also had a snap sail over the quarterback&#8217;s head for a loss of 23.</p><p>Hazlet said he didn&#8217;t think the weather was the main factor.</p><p>&#8220;I think our defense did a good job of getting pressure on them and that might have affected some of them,&#8221; said Hazlet, who credited his assistant coaches for preparing the team.</p><p>The Hawkeyes&#8217; lone touchdown came on a 2-yard keeper from Jake Peters in the second quarter that pulled them within 8-7. But the Rangers needed just three plays to answer, as a 62-yard run by Walsh set up an 11-yard score from Reese.</p><p>Hanover Area had five possessions in the second half that ended with a punt, a wayward snap for a loss of 14, the pick-6, a shanked punt after a bobble and then a third punt before Northwest ran out the clock.</p><p>Taylor led the Hawkeyes with 61 yards on the ground.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Northwest 36, Hanover Area 7</strong></p><p><strong>Northwest`8`7`14`7`&#8212;`36</strong></p><p><strong>Hanover Area`0`7`0`0`&#8212;`7</strong></p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>First quarter</strong></p><p>NW &#8212; Garrett Reese 3 run (Bryce Harrison pass from Jeremy Walsh), 8:33</p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Second quarter</strong></p><p>HAN &#8212; Jake Peters 2 run (John Morgan kick), 4:42</p><p>NW &#8212; Reese 11 run (Walsh kick), 3:41</p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Third quarter</strong></p><p>NW &#8212; Walsh 20 run (kick failed), 5:12</p><p>NW &#8212; Brendan Riley 28 interception return (Reese run), 0:19</p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Fourth quarter</strong></p><p>NW &#8212; Hayden Stancavage 5 run (Walsh kick), 9:48</p><p><strong>Team statistics`Nwt`HA</strong></p><p>First downs`19`7</p><p>Rushes-yards`55-292`33-50</p><p>Passing yards`48`52</p><p>Total yards`340`102</p><p>Passing`3-10-1`3-11-1</p><p>Sacked-yards lost`1-9`1-11</p><p>Punts-avg.`3-33.0`6-26.5</p><p>Fumbles-lost`1-0`5-1</p><p>Penalties-yards`2-20`6-40</p><p><strong>INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS</strong></p><p><strong>RUSHING</strong> &#8212; NW, Jeremy Walsh 17-133, Garrett Reese 21-132, Jake Anderson 9-45, Zach Carr 2-6, Hayden Stancavage 2-3, TEAM 4-(minus-27).
