Neff and White Strike Twice in 17 Seconds
Trailing 34-24 in the fourth quarter, Louisville pulled within three on Chad Neff’s 34-yard touchdown pass to Jeremy White and Jaron Lohmeyer’s extra point. Aaron Reynolds then forced a Carrollton fumble that Lucas Poyser recovered. On the first play after the turnover, Neff went back to White for a 28-yard touchdown. The two touchdowns came 17 seconds apart, and Lohmeyer’s extra point gave the Leopards a 38-34 lead.
“I knew we needed to score fast and Jeremy [White] got wide open twice and all I had to do was get the ball to him,” Neff said.
Louisville’s offensive line opened running lanes on an 85-yard drive that Neff capped with a 7-yard touchdown run. Lohmeyer’s sixth extra point made it 45-34.
Warriors Erase a 21-Point Louisville Lead
Neff opened the scoring with a 9-yard touchdown pass to Michael Schooley and scored on a 1-yard run about seven minutes later. The two first-quarter scoring drives totaled 20 plays. Poyser added a 1-yard touchdown run in the second quarter to put Louisville ahead 21-0.
Carrollton quarterback Johnny Lowdermilk ran for touchdowns of 6 and 5 yards on either side of Lohmeyer’s 20-yard field goal, cutting Louisville’s lead to 24-13 at halftime. Peterson scored the only touchdown of the third quarter on a 24-yard run, and the failed conversion left the Warriors five points back at 24-19.
Smith’s 3-yard touchdown run tied the game in the fourth quarter, and Lowdermilk ran in the two-point conversion to give Carrollton its first lead at 27-24. Damon Anderson followed with a 50-yard touchdown run to extend the lead to 34-24.
Neff Accounts for 409 Yards and Five Touchdowns
Neff threw for 205 yards and three touchdowns and ran for 204 yards and two more scores. He said he preferred throwing touchdowns because he enjoyed watching his teammates catch the ball in the end zone or run it in after the catch. He credited Coach DeMarco and summer workouts with Bob Burick and Jon Aljancic for his improved passing.
White led Louisville with 94 receiving yards and two touchdowns on three catches. Mitch Sluss added three catches for 74 yards, and Poyser ran 17 times for 85 yards. The Leopards finished with 494 yards of offense and a 24-12 advantage in first downs.
Leopards Intercept Two Carrollton Passes
Carrollton rushed for 349 yards on 33 carries. Anderson led the Warriors with 166 yards on eight carries, and Lowdermilk added 109 yards and two touchdowns. Louisville held Carrollton to 76 passing yards on 12 completions in 23 attempts. Jeremy McQuilkin and Mitch Alisa each intercepted a pass. Preston Massey also stood out on defense, and Dillon Stertzbach stopped a Carrollton play in the backfield.
Louisville was set to return home the following Friday to face Alliance, with Marlington and Minerva still ahead. Matt Zwick, a captain and two-way standout on Coach Paul Starkey’s final team, was named honorary captain for the Alliance game.
