USO’s state playoff run ends, 41-14
Sometimes the wheels fall off, big time.
The red-hot USO football team couldn’t stay out of its own way Saturday, as it lost to Selinsgrove 41-14 at Altoona. Quarterback Akil Young of U-Prep had been red hot coming into the game, but threw 7 interceptions in the loss.
Selinsgrove’s power ground game took it to USO time and time again, something that was not lost upon Coach Berry, who said,”Their strength was our weakness. We were more of a finesse team this year.” In all, the Seals’ running attack accounted for 325 yards.
Young threw for 192 yards in the game, including a 28-yardf scoring strike to Clay Moorefield in the 4th quarter. ”Akil Young has absolutely been an amazing talent for this team this year. He will be difficult to replace,” Coach Berry said. “”It’s unfortunate his career had to end on a note like this.”
USO ended the season with a record of 7-4.
