TOWANDA-Steel-High had its best results on Saturday, but there will be a new A-level state championship in 2021.

Riley Parker has a lot to do with this.

That's because in the state A playoff opener on Saturday, the best of the Guangzhou team scored four touchdowns, leading the team to a 32-27 victory over the rollers.

Parker started scoring with a 7-yard run in the first quarter, but because of Daivin Pryor's 64-yard run that entered the first quarter at 2:09, the rollers only needed 19 seconds to score. Tied. The two teams exchanged points again in the second game. Cooper Kitchen and Weston Bellow scored 89 yards. Jayne Perry scored 6 from Alex Elby with 26 seconds left in the half. Yard pass.

Tyrone Moore's subsequent bonus points were also different, as the rollers led 14-13 to break serve.

But Parker scored a three-pointer in the second half—a 15-yard and 16-yard run to start the third quarter and another 15-yard run in the fourth quarter—to help Canton kick off the curtain. Pryor scored a 25-yard run in the third quarter, and Moore scored a 44-yard touchdown from Erby with 8:59 remaining in the game, but these were the final points of the game.

Steel-High's season ended with an 8-3 record.

In the quarterfinals, Canton (12-0) advanced to face Old Forge (12-0).

Parker has four touchdowns and 19 rushes, with a rushing distance of 134 yards.

Elby passed the ball for 246 yards and made two touchdowns for Steel-High, but he also intercepted twice.

Pryor had 127 rushing yards and his two scores.

Moore had a productive game with 7 catches for 109 yards and a touchdown-and Durrell Ceaser Jr. (Durrell Ceaser jr). There are six catches, 71 yards and one touchdown.

Perry caught three passes for 27 yards and a touchdown.

Canton's Weston Bellows intercepted two passes from Elby.

The Roller team's offense had four major turnovers that could cost them the game.

Between the two interceptions in the first half and the third turnover and turnover-they just gave up too much possession, and this finally came back to haunt them.

Nevertheless, with 2:20 left in the game, Steel-High's defense forced them to make a mistake, and there is still a chance to create some miracles.

Falling behind 32-27, Erby and his team made four different passes, but none of them succeeded. Steel-High eventually turned it over.

With 59 seconds left in the game, Canton knelt on one knee, allowing time to end the rest of the game.

Coach Irby said: "I think our kids played very hard. They did their best against a really good football team."

He added: "There were a lot of sophomores and some seniors on this journey. We lost a lot last year, so for this group of children, they reached where they were-I think they really did. Excess achievements. Next year we will have a lot of young people, so we will come back with a lot of very good football players. The future looks bright, and they are also a group of great kids on and off the court."

"I like the way he leads the team and have always believed in" Steel-High coach Andrew Erby's day at Alex Erby. "Most kids will bow their heads and knock it down, but he still believes and leads us back to the game."
