Special teams key Selinsgrove victory in opener
By: Selinsgrove Athletics | PIAA District IV | September 12, 2020
It took Selinsgrove a little time to take advantage of its special teams advantage against Milton, but once the Seals did, the rout was on.
Selinsgrove blocked three punts - the first was recovered inside the Black Panthers 5, but the Seals fumbled the ball away on the next play - and the Aument brothers combined for three scores as Selinsgrove beat Milton, 42-6.
Brandon Hile blocked the first punt of the game for Selinsgrove, after the Seals had pinned Milton deep in its own territory. Milton forced a fumble on the next play, resulting in a touchback.
The Seals finally got untracked late in the first quarter after Nate Aument intercepted a pass. One play later, Nate Schon motored 42 yards for a touchdown.
Selinsgrove added another long touchdown on its next possession when Ryan Aument scored from 53 yards out to make it 14-0.
Schon blocked a punt on the next Milton possession, and this time the Seals took advantage of the five-yard punt when Ryan Aument scored on a short touchdown four plays later for a 20-0 Selinsgrove lead.
The Black Panthers would score on their next possession, but Nate Aument immediately took back the momentum for Selinsgrove, returning the ensuing kickoff 84 yards for a touchdown as Selinsgrove opened up a 28-6 lead.
Teague Hoover rushed for two touchdowns in the second half as the Seals improve to 1-0 on the season.
Up next for Selinsgrove, a trip to Central Mountain, which rolled to a 33-6 win over Shikellamy.
