Jeannette throttles Washington

TRIBUNE-REVIEW
Saturday, September 9, 2006

This past week at practice, the Jeannette football team got a pep talk from three members of the 1956 WPIAL Class AA championship team. The talk worked like a charm. After the 1956 team, which included Dick Hoak, Wayne Tucci, John Dobrinick and Jim Burzio -- was honored prior to Friday's game against Washington at McKee Stadium, No. 5 Jeannette used three touchdowns by Davonte Shannon and two by quarterback Terrelle Pryor to roll over Washington, 46-7, in an Interstate Conference battle.
The victory improves Jeannette's record to 2-0 and sets up an early-season first-place showdown with No. 4 Yough next Friday at Cougar Mountain. Yough defeated Waynesburg last night.
Shannon caught two touchdown passes -- covering 25 and 41 yards -- from Pryor, who completed 10-of-13 passes for 203 yards. Pryor, who also scored on two 1-yard sneaks, also received an offer from No. 1-ranked Ohio State earlier in the week.
"I didn't think we were very sharp," Jeannette coach Ray Reitz said. "It was one of those games, we couldn't get a flow. We were very lucky at the end of the half." Part of the reason why Jeannette looked sluggish was the play of Washington in the first half.
After Pryor connected on a 25-yard flip to Shannon in the first quarter for a 7-0 lead, Washington threatened twice to tie the score after quarterback Chad Smith and split end C.J. Baker connected on a 43-yard pass to the Jeannette 1.
But Jeannette's defense kept Washington out of the end zone and took over on downs at Jeannette's 11. Washington's defense then forced a fumble on the next play and the Prexies took over at the Jeannette 17.
This time, however, Jeannette's defense turned the tables. A second-down pitch by Smith went awry and Jeannette's T.J. Burns scooped up the ball and raced 67 yards to the Washington 1. Pryor scored on the next play for a 14-0 lead.
Pryor and Shannon hooked up on a perfectly thrown 41-yard scoring strike late in the first half to make it 21-0.
"What can you say?" Washington coach Bill Britton said. "We're inexperienced and we had a couple of plays that deflated us in the first half. But I thought we had some kids step up and play hard, especially in the first half. I thought we out-hit Jeannette."
Washington cut the score to 21-7 when Alex Evans scored on a 27-yard run with 40 seconds left.
The play that flattened Washington came on the final play of the first half. Jeannette lined up for a 29-yard field goal, but the kick was blocked by Mark Wise. The ball bounced into the hands of Shannon, who raced 15 yards for the score.
Because the kick never crossed the line of scrimmage, the ball was still live.
"I didn't know what to do at first," Shannon said. "Shaw (Sunder) said 'Run, run run,' and I took off."
Jeannette dominated the second half. Running back Michael Matt, who finished with 69 yards on 12 carries, started to find running lanes, and Jeannette's defense only allowed Washington one first down during the final 24 minutes. Washington finished with 84 yards passing, all in the first half, and 11 yards rushing.
"That blocked kick took the wind out of their sails," Reitz said. "The key here at Jeannette is if we play defense, we'll be OK."
Pryor scored in the third quarter to make it 33-7, and the Jeannette reserves closed out the scoring in the fourth quarter.
"We still can get better," Pryor said. "We're starting to click and I'm still learning."
Shannon said he and Pryor are starting to get on the same page.
"We're starting to read each other," Shannon said. "We're starting to come together really good. We didn't play at our best. We still have room to improve."
Britton, who saw his team fall to 0-2, said he held out 10 players, including three starters. One starter was injured and nine others were suspended for breaking team rules.
"We had to stick to our rules," Britton said. "This will make us a better team in the long run."
