Merrill Gainer Field, Roanoke, VA – The home stands were filled to brim Friday night for PH’s home-coming game. The 3-1 Patriots were up against a young, battle-scarred Northside Vikings team. At the end of the night, the Patriots walked away the victor with a 49-0 shut-out victory. Throughout the night, the PH was executing from every angle. RB 7 Jahzae Kimbrough and RB 10 Sidney Webb led PH on the ground, combining for over 160 rushing yards and two touchdowns. QB 12 Joseph Beasley packed the stat sheet, throwing for 176 yards and three scores. Beasley’s favorite target, Penn State commit, WR 2 Carmelo Taylor and Kimbrough combined for 170 yards and all of the receiving touchdowns. The Patriot defense limited the Vikings to 116 yards. Patriot K 49 Jackson Seuss got into the act with a 56-yard punt, pinning the Vikings back deep. PH’s Coach Fiddler was happy for his squad after the win, “We played hard and we played with passion,” Fiddler said. He went on to acknowledge some of the younger Patriots who got a chance to get in later in the game, “A lot of kids tonight played in their first football game, it’s good to get them an opportunity to get on the field.” Northside’s Head Coach Fisher admired his team’s grit after a tough loss, “We’re so young at every position right now and we’re trying to find out who’s gonna be that dog. We’re working on it, I’ll go to bat with these kids all day long, through thick and thin.”
