THE SKINNY STORY

THE LEADERS
•
Sean Clark (Randolph, N.J./Randolph) led the Bullets offensively, completing 17 of 20 passes for 324 yards and a career-high five touchdowns – the most for a Gettysburg quarterback since Kyle Whitmoyer threw five on Oct. 30, 2010.
FOR THE FOES
• Jason St. Leger led the Green Terror with 21 carries for 90 yards.
THE REST OF THE STORY
• After the McDaniel defense forced a three-and-out on the opening possession, the offense faced third-and-8.
Dayton Williams Jr. (Henrico, Va./Kenston Forest School) went up and snagged his first of two interceptions on the day to set up the offense at the McDaniel 45. The Gettysburg offense needed just five plays for
Sean Clark to find
Eddie Bohne (Winter Park, Fla./Lake Highland Prep) on a crosser for the freshman's first career touchdown and 7-0 lead with 10:19 showing. After an
RJ Weiss (Oradell, N.J./River Dell) interception on the next Green Terror possession, Clark dropped one in the bucket for
Ben Iglesias (North Andover, Mass./North Andover) on a wheel route and the freshman went untouched for his 86 yards and his first collegiate score. It was the Bullets' longest pass play since 2021. On the ensuing kickoff, Aidan Harrison (Falls Church, Va./Meridian) knocked the ball loose and
Wesley Heagy (Palmyra, Pa./Lower Dauphin) picked it up and returned the fumble 24 yards for this first career touchdown and a 20-0 lead with 7:35 to play. A 39-yard touchdown pass to
Gabriel Diaz (Orlando, Fla./Winter Park) made it 27-0 with 2:16 to play in the opening salvo.
• Gettysburg needed just 2:11 of the second quarter to reach the 30-point mark when
Isaac Parks-Gill (Lewistown, Pa./Mifflin County) connected on a 49-yard field goal. A 36-yard
Jayden Lee (Montclair, N.J./Montclair) punt return and facemask during the return set the offense up at the Green Terror 7. Two players later, Clark found
Jack Anderson (West Chester, Pa./West Chester East) for a nine-yard score and his first collegiate touchdown to make it 37-0 with 4:16 on the clock. A
Ryan Weems (Plant City, Fla./Strawberry Crest) 40-yard interception return gave the senior his first career touchdown on his second career pick to extend the lead to 44-0 with 2:33 showing.
• Gettysburg put together a sustained drive in the third quarter, moving 87 yards over nine plays before Clark found
Jackson Field (Marblehead, Mass./Boys' Latin School of Maryland) for the senior's first career touchdown with 6:49 remaining on Clark's final pass of his career and a 50-point day.
• Parks-Gill added a 42-yard field goal on the opening possession of the fourth quarter to set the final score.
