Last Friday the Wallenpaupack Buckhorns took the trip down to Veterans Memorial Stadium to face the Scranton Knights. The Buckhorns were coming in a hot off a resounding win against Western Wayne, while Scranton came in off their third loss to another good team. The night was set with both teams looking to start league play with a win. After Scranton’s opening drive stalled out in Buckhorn territory, running back, Eddie Kiesendahl scored three out of the Buckhorns for the next four drives, making the score 20-0 early in the second quarter. The Buckhorn defense decided the offense had scored enough and wanted some points of their own. After Kiesendahl’s third score, Wallenpaupack forced pick-sixes on back-to-back drives with Jaxton Pouliot and Cade Pittenger on the receiving end of the picks. Anthony Kiesendahl topped off the scoring in the first half with one last touchdown to make the score 41-0 at the horn. The second half was more of the same as Freshman Ben Defeo ran for over a hundred yards and two more scores. The final showed 54-0 after stout defensive play and over 300 yards rushing for the Bucks’ Next week will be a big test for Paupack as they face the always tough Delaware Valley Warriors. The game will take place this Friday at 7:00 with a Pink Out theme.
