MILFORD — It was a tough night for the Delaware Valley football cheerleaders.

After every point the team scores, they do pushups to match the total. With the Warriors scoring just 22 points the past three games and averaging only 13.1 points per game this season, the cheerleaders haven’t had to do many.

But Friday night, Delaware Valley took out a season’s worth of frustration and rolled to a 55-0 victory over winless Scranton High School in a Lackawanna Football Conference Division I game at Warrior Stadium.

That added up to 249 pushups.

“We’ve been in so many one- and two-score games and not on the positive end, it was just nice to see our kids come out and execute, be physical right from the start of the game and finish some plays and drives,” Delaware Valley head coach Keith Olsommer said.

Devin Estevez, who returned from an injury last week, had 85 yards and three touchdowns on just six carries by the middle of the first quarter and sat out the rest of the game. Justin Kizis added two touchdown runs for the Warriors (2-5 overall,1-3 Division I), who piled up 425 yards of offense (344 rushing).

Scranton (0-4, 0-7) was without seven players due to injuries, including four who play both ways.

“We were very light going into the game,” Scranton head coach Jack Miles said. “We’re very young and now we’re very young and beat up. It’s a tough go, but it’s a learning experience for them.”

Finn Stutzman set the tone immediately by returning the opening kickoff 61 yards to the Scranton 24. Two plays later, Estevez scored on a 9-yard run and the first of Matt Marotta’s seven extra points gave Delaware Valley a 7-0 lead just 29 seconds into the contest.

“Finn’s a really fast kid. Track star,” Estevez said. “Throughout the year, he was getting to the 40 and it was like, if we can get him that one block, he breaks it out. We had that one block and he broke it out and set us up with great field position. Credit goes to Finn for putting us in the red zone.”

Landon Decker mishit the ensuing kickoff, but it landed in an open area along the sidelines and he recovered it at the Scranton 40. Three plays later, Estevez ran 32 yards for a touchdown to make it 14-0 with just 72 seconds expired.

Following a Scranton punt, Estevez capped a six-play, 51-yard drive with a 13-yard touchdown run that gave the Warriors a 21-0 lead with 6:41 left in the first. Then, he called it a night.

“My body’s feeling good and I scored three touchdowns. But my line did their job,” Estevez said. “No credit to me, I had open holes, my line did their job. Any running back back there could have done that.

“Obviously, I wanted to play in the game. But I’m glad I got to see my younger teammates score and shine also.”

On Delaware Valley’s next possession after another Scranton punt, quarterback Leif-Erik Orby connected with tight end James Dabney for a 68-yard gain to the Knights 12. A Scranton penalty on the play moved it had the distance to the 6 and Orby connected with Joey Weidner for a touchdown pass from there for a 28-0 lead with 3:14 to go in the first.

“Devin came back last week but still wasn’t 100% and James is back now and his conditioning was better this week,” Olsommer said. “They’re two key components for what we need to do. For us to be successful, we need those guys. We need them healthy and when they’re healthy we’re a little bit different football team.”

Freshman Nico Sciascia scored his first varsity touchdown on a 1-yard run with 10:24 left in the second quarter that extended the margin to 35-0 and finished off a seven-play, 57-yard drive.

Angelo Cosentino intercepted a pass on the next Scranton possession and returned it 19 yards to the Knights 39. That set up a 2-yard touchdown run by Kizis five plays later to give Delaware Valley a 41-0 lead with 3:58 left before halftime.

Bentlee Kimble had a 6-yard touchdown run with 3:02 left in the third quarter to make it 48-0. Kimble then had a 59-yard run in the fourth quarter which set up Kizis’ second touchdown on a 10-yard run that closed out the victory.

“Scranton has some guys and they’re putting stuff together,” Estevez said. “But it feels really good to get a win like this. It gives us good energy and a path going into North Pocono next week.”
