The visiting Eagles returned the favor as the game approached the halftime break. McVeytown found some daylight in the Kish defensive unit and inched inside the redzone before a Kish-North stand on fourth down kept the game at a 0-0 deadlock at the half. 

Following a promising McVeytown drive to open the third frame, the Indians defense forced an Eagles punt before the Kish-North offense went to work. The Kish-North offense used the legs of Duke Peachey, Wyatt Hassinger, Julian Altiery, Jace Atherton to march inside the redzone once again before striking pay dirt. 

Peachey took the next snap around the left side and finally found some daylight which would prove to be the games only offensive score with 8:59 to play in the third quarter. Kish-North was unable to convert the extra point leaving the score at a 6-0 Indians advantage. 

Action moved to the fourth quarter when Kish-North pinned the Eagles at their own 1 yard line as the clock ticked late in the contest. With their backs against the goal line, McVeytown threw a late-game interception into the waiting arms of Peachey as Kish-North was able to secure a hard-fought, 6-0 victory. 

Kish-North returns to action on Sunday, September 7 when it plays host to Juniata for a 3:00 p.m. affair with the Little Indians, while McVeytown travels to Burnham for a 3:00 p.m matchup with the Bulldogs.
