ELKTON - Perryville came into Elkton on a foggy Fall Friday night hoping to play the role of homecoming spoiler. The Panthers used more than 200 rushing yards by Ethen Gunter to
carry them to a 28-21 upset. On a night that could have gone the way of their Susky Bowl loss to Havre de Grace the week before, Perryville didn’t let some huge first half penalties derail them. “When problems occur or penalties get called
that aren’t in our favor. We refocus and look at it as an opportunity to make a play,” said Perryville Head Coach Sean Sandora. “Our kids were able to block out the terrible penalty calls and not let those impact our ability to finish the game.”
The Panthers opened the scoring for the evening when Kyle Richards broke open a shallow toss to the flats for a 64-yard touchdown score. Elkton evened the score when D.J. Piner split the Perryville defense and turned a slant route into
a touchdown. In a matter of minutes, the Panthers had 117 yards and two touchdowns called back on penalties, but continued to pound the ball right into the middle of the Golden Elks defense to keep the momentum. Perryville head-
ed into the halftime break with a 14-7 lead. Elkton came out of the break and used a huge Solomon Pope run to get into the red zone and another Pope carry to tie the score at 14continued on A-4
