- 1:12SPEAKER_00: This is certainly not the first time these two programs have met.
- 1:16SPEAKER_00: In fact, this is a rematch of last year's Section 4 Class C championship won by Shenango Forks 42-6.
- 1:25SPEAKER_00: So there's plenty of history coming into Friday night's game.
- 1:29SPEAKER_00: Now for the Oneana Yellow Jackets.
- 1:32SPEAKER_00: Like I mentioned, their record is 3-2, but that does not tell the whole story.
- 1:37SPEAKER_00: After starting the season with two straight losses, the Yellow Jackets won three straight before losing to Susquehanna Valley 44-16 last week.
- 1:48SPEAKER_00: When Oneana's offense is clicking, they can put up a ton of points.
- 1:53SPEAKER_00: The Yellow Jackets scored 66 points against Norwich and 50 against Shenango Valley.
- 2:00SPEAKER_00: The student athlete who makes their offense tick is quarterback Chase Jervis.
- 2:05SPEAKER_00: Against Norwick, Jervis accounted for eight touchdowns, four passing, and four rushing.
- 2:12SPEAKER_00: His favorite target was his brother, Trey Jervis, who caught all four of Chase's touchdown passes.

- 4:02SPEAKER_00: Now, back to the episode.
- 4:05SPEAKER_00: Now for the Shenango Forks Blue Devils.
- 4:08SPEAKER_00: On the other side, you have an undefeated Forks team.
- 4:11SPEAKER_00: The Blue Devils have outscored their opponents 206 to 49.
- 4:17SPEAKER_00: They have defeated Owigo, Tyoga, Shenango Valley, Maine Anwell, and Binghamton.
- 4:24SPEAKER_00: The main anwell game may be the best indication of what this team can do.
- 4:30SPEAKER_00: Forks defeated Maine Anwell 36 to 21, with running back Bryson Fry rushing for 216 yards and four touchdowns.
- 4:40SPEAKER_00: The Blue Devils are not dependent upon just one student athlete.
- 4:44SPEAKER_00: Last week against Binghamton, 13 different Forks student athletes contributed to 242 yards rushing and a 43 to 21 victory.
- 4:55SPEAKER_00: That tells you a lot about the balance and depth of this offense.
- 5:00SPEAKER_00: Now let's go back to last year.
- 5:02SPEAKER_00: One and Shenango Forks met in the Section 4 Class C championships.
- 5:07SPEAKER_00: Forks jumped out to a 21-0 first quarter lead and went on to a 40, I'm sorry, went on to a 42-6 win.
- 5:16SPEAKER_00: Bryson Fry had 168 yards rushing and four touchdowns in that game.
- 5:22SPEAKER_00: There are some familiar names on both sides coming into this year's matchup, but this is a new season and a new Oneana team.
- 5:30SPEAKER_00: Friday night, Coach Neal and the Yellow Jackets get another opportunity against Coach Hogan and the Blue Devils.
- 5:37SPEAKER_00: Here are some things to be watching for Friday night.
- 5:40SPEAKER_00: Number one, Oniana's offense.
- 5:43SPEAKER_00: Can Chase and Trey Jervis create enough big plays to keep the Yellow Jackets in this game?
- 5:50SPEAKER_00: Number two, the Forks running game.
- 5:52SPEAKER_00: Can Oniana slow down Bryson Fry and the Forks rushing attack that has already shown it can use multiple student athletes?
- 6:01SPEAKER_00: And number three, the turnovers.
- 6:03SPEAKER_00: Oneana turned the ball over six times against Susquehanna Valley last week.
- 6:08SPEAKER_00: Against a team like Shenango Forks, they cannot afford to give away any opportunities.
- 6:14SPEAKER_00: And finally, can Oneana make this a four-quarter game?
- 6:18SPEAKER_00: Shenango Forks is undefeated, ranked number one in Class C and playing at home.
- 6:23SPEAKER_00: So Oneana already has shown it can score points.
- 6:27SPEAKER_00: The question is whether the Yellow Jackets can make the Blue Devils pay, play their best football for four quarters.
- 6:35SPEAKER_00: The bottom line two Class C teams, two different divisions, one undefeated and one looking to bounce back.
- 6:44SPEAKER_00: One gets another opportunity against the team that ended their season a year ago.
- 6:49SPEAKER_00: This brings us to the end of the Cover Four Showdown episode.
