Cornell rolls past Shenango
Shenango (14) vs. Cornell (48)
Written: Oct 09, 2010
The Shenango High football team couldn’t find a way to stop Cornell’s Shawn Owens last night.
Owens threw for five touchdowns and ran for two more in a 48-14 Big Seven Conference win over the Wildcats.
Owens was 8 of 10 through the air for the Raiders for 180 yards.
Shenango (1-3 conference, 2-4 overall) trailed just 6-0 after the first quarter. But Cornell outscored the guests 36-8 in the second frame for a 42-8 halftime bulge.
Aaron Grymes got the Wildcats on the board when he raced 72 yards with a kickoff for a touchdown to cut the Raiders’ advantage to 34-8.
Shenango quarterback Tynen Greer scored on a 10-yard touchdown run in the third quarter.
Joe Seaburn paced the Wildcats in rushing with 79 yards on four carries.
The Raiders (4-0, 6-0) are off to their best start since 1998. In fact, Cornell had just five wins the previous three years combined entering the season. Last night’s win guaranteed the Raiders their first winning season since 2001.
Cornell sits in first place by a half-game over Rochester (3-0, 5-0), which plays Western Beaver today. The Raiders’ last conference crown came in 1983. Rochester will host Cornell at 7:30 p.m. Friday.
Shenango is back in action at 7 p.m. Oct. 16 when it entertains conference rival Union.
