1st Quarter


Derrick Burks broke up this thrid down pass, forcing Alleghany to punt.


Justin "Juice" Lewis got a piece of the ball, which meant bad news for the punter!


Brandon Anderson (center) starts things off right...


Touchdown, from 34 yards out!
7-0 PC.


This is not easy to do in weather like this:
The snap...


... the hold...


The kick.
Good!
John Hedge's 38 yard boot gave the Cougars a two score lead, at 10-0.


Mountaineer QB Gavin Haynes broke a long gainer on 3rd down,
but the Cougar 20 yard line "tackled" him.
PC stopped Alleghany on the drive as the 2nd Quarter began.


2nd Quarter


QB Britt Shumate looked out of place, with his clean jersey.


Anderson got some yardage on 3rd-and-9, but PC had to kick it away.


Very late in the half, this deep pass for Randall Allen (33) was well defended, 
and it was punt time for Alleghany.


Uh oh! High snap!
The Cougars were in business at the 2 yard line!


Oooops.
A rain-induced mishap returned the favor.
PC went into the lockerroom to dry off,
still leading 10-0.


Halftime


"THEY HAD SLAW!!!"
Our resident hot dog taste tester and tailgate guru
gave his stamp of approval to the Alleghany concessions.
Just like a mailman, a little rain does not stop him
from making his appointed rounds!


3rd Quarter


Anderson had a great night.
On 4th-and-3, he sweeps right...


... turns the corner...


As the official is beginning to signal, Brandon found his way in, from 29 yards away.
His second score of the night made it 17-0.


John Harmon (2) gets one of those hard hits he loves to dish out,
laying it on Haynes.


On the next play, Alleghany's woes continued.
This fumble put the Cougars in point blank range.


From the 7, this time it was Burks...


24-0!


4th Quarter


One more time, Brandon!


14 yards later, and Anderson had hit paymud!
31-0, very early in the 4th!


Oh, the dangers of the Shotgun snap, especially in this weather...


In these situations, you feel fortunate just to get the ball back,
even if you now face 2nd-and-30!


The clean uniform squad to the rescue!
The starters got a well deserved rest.
The rest of the game was uneventful, and
the Cougars had earned their first shutout of the year,
while continuing their second half of the season surge,
with a 4th consecutive victory.
The final score was a decisive 31-0 PC!
