kids’: Panthers trounce Warriors to win 3rd-straight Susky Bowl
Gunter’s 30-yard TD run would be the last score of the first half for either team, however, as both offenses slowed down and struggled to move the ball.

While the Warriors’ offense never mustered a scoring drive, they occasionally found success thanks to the legs of senior starting quarterback Amir Austin, who kept a few drives alive simply because of his ability to scramble and get out of tough situations.
In total, though, Havre de Grace racked up just 109 yards of total offense, turning the ball over three times in the process on two interceptions and a lost fumble as the Perryville defense put together yet another masterclass.
“We had to start a couple guys young in the secondary due to some injuries and losing some guys last week, so they really stepped up,” Sandora said. “Our kids took pride in it all week long. They wanted to come out here and show that we have a pretty good defense and that we can dominate the line of scrimmage and I think we did that tonight.”
In the second half, Perryville found the end zone on a lengthy opening drive that lasted nearly 10 minutes, chewing up close to the entire third-quarter clock thanks to a boatload of penalties – five in total – and 11 run plays, the last of which was yet another score for Gunter, this time from the 1-yard-line, to make it 21-0 Panthers.
Then, on the Panthers’ next possession, Ayers drilled a 44-yard field goal to reach the eventual final score of 24-0.
“He's got a college-level leg in my opinion,” Sandora said. “It’s great because you can always get points on the board and when you have an opportunity to put points on the board, it’s always good.”
With the win, Perryville snapped its two-game losing streak and got back to a .500 record with one regular-season game left on the calendar.
This week, the Panthers host the Bo Manor Eagles (5-3) on senior night, while the Warriors visit St. Andrews (Delaware) in search of their first victory.
