Local football fans who survived a rainy first half got to see the real action in Friday night's games.

Avonworth found that the Carlynton Cougars came to play, as the visitors limited the Antelopes to seven first half points, keeping quarterback Tom Turnbull scrambling and targeting receiver Jimmy Zubik.

The Cougars couldn't hold the 'Lopes forever, however. The second half saw three Red touchdowns. Zubik scored three TDs on the night, while Turnbull added another and Brian Vales brought down an interception.

The final score was 27-0 Avonworth.

Northgate traveled to Cornell, where they came within one point of tying the game during the third quarter. With the score 13-0 in favor of Cornell at the half, Pat Carr ran for 22 yards to score the first TD for the Flames on their very first possession of the third quarter. On Northgate's last possession of the quarter, Joe Ellis crossed into the end zone to bring the score to 13-12. The Flames went for two and came up short.

Cornell iced the win in the fourth quarter with one more TD, which made the final score 20-12, Cornell.
