Dougherty Scores Lone Leopard Touchdown
Leopard junior runningback Cam Dougherty broke the Panther shutout with an 8 yard touchdown run with 4:48 left in the second quarter. The 6 play, 55 yard scoring drive began with a 31 yard pass from senior quarterback Owen Burick to senior wide receiver Braiden Hershey down the right sideline to the PHS 24. Louisville then converted a 3rd-and-10 via a 12 yard Owen Burick to sophomore Quin Burick connection setting the Leopards up with a 1st-and-goal. Dougherty reached paydirt two plays later, cutting the Perry lead to 35-6.
Dougherty would finish as Louisville’s leading rusher with 6 carries for 31 yards. Owen Burick would finish 11 of 21 passing for 117 yards. Hershey was his top target with 3 catches for 44 yards and junior tight end Austin Wade also made 2 receptions for 33 yards.
Ivanic Runs for 222 Yards and 3 Touchdowns
The Panthers out-gained the Leopards 395-206 in total offense, which included a 291-61 edge on the ground. Perry was led by senior runningback Christian Ivanic who ran the ball 16 times for 222 yards and 3 touchdowns. Ivanic broke free for endzone runs of 59, 62, and 2 yards.
Sophomore runningback Connor Shephard also had 3 carries for 44 yards and scored on a 19 yard touchdown run that put the Panthers in front 28-0 in the opening quarter.
Panthers Pounce on Leopards Early
Perry led from start to finish…literally. Louisville fumbled the opening kickoff and the ball was recovered in the endzone by junior Vann Riordan to put the Panthers in front 7-0 just 9 seconds into the game.
The Leopards went three-and-out on their first possession punting the ball back to Perry. On the first play from scrimmage, Ivanic ran right through the line and then cut back to the left for a 59 yard touchdown scamper to put the Panthers ahead 14-0 with 9:34 remaining in the opening quarter.
After a touchback, Louisville’s first play from scrimmage resulted in a 26 yard interception return by Ivanic to the LHS 3 yard line. Two plays later, junior quarterback Austin Mattox ran right, off play action, untouched into the endzone. To that point Perry had run just 3 plays on offense and led 21-0 with 9:04 remaining in the first quarter.
Perry 3rd-and-Long Backbreakers
Later in the half, the Panthers called timeout backed up at their own 9 yard line and facing 3rd-and-17. When play resumed, Mattox rolled to his right in his own endzone and hit junior wide receiver Kyson Walker on a slant for a 91 yard back-breaking touchdown to put Perry ahead 42-6.
Earlier in the second quarter, Ivanic also scored on a 62 yard back-breaker on a 3rd-and-13 play. Later in the third quarter, Ivanic also ran right for 36 yards when the Panthers were backed up 3rd-and-16 from their own 24. Ivanic would carry the ball on 10 of the 11 plays on that 70 yard scoring drive including on the final 9 snaps. Ivanic’s final touchdown with 3:21 to play put Perry ahead 49-6 and they cruised from there.
