SILVER CREEK, NY – The Panthers earned their fourth win of the season after a shutout beat down of Silver Creek/Forestville, cruising to a 58-0 victory.
Portville got to work early, scoring two touchdowns in the first quarter. The first came after a lengthy drive downfield, capped off by a one-yard run from Maxx DeYoe. During the next drive, Eli Sleggs connected with Aidan Defazio for a pass that carried the Panthers the entire length of the field. After the 99-yard score, Portville connected on their second two-point conversion to go up 18-0.
The Panthers would score three more times before halftime. Defazio earned another trip to the end zone with a 25-yard reception before DeYoe got his second score on another goal line smash and Breckham Hunt put up seven on a 10-yard carry.
While they may have taken their foot off the gas in the second half, Portville didn’t avoid the end zone. The Panthers would score two more times, one in each of the final two quarters, before they boarded the bus with their fifth win of the season.
Sleggs finished with 161 passing yards, completing five of his six attempts for three touchdowns.
