YATESVILLE — Matt Walter. CJ Pietrzak. Lucas Lopresto.

Nanticoke had no luck dealing with those three weapons Friday night.

Pittston Area used the talents of its three offensive leaders to run past Nanticoke 55-0 Friday night at Charley Trippi Stadium.

Walter, Pietrzak and Lopresto were collectively responsible for 30 of those points.

“In this conference and district, you’ve got to be able to run the football, so I think we’ve been doing that pretty well the last two weeks,” Pittston Area coach Joe DeLucca said after posting his first football head coaching victory. “We’ve got to continue buttoning some things up on the offensive side of the ball.”

Just about the only blemish on the Patriots’ side of the boxscore was the penalty column, which showed seven for 60 yards.

Pittston Area got off to a hot start, scoring touchdowns on two of its first three drives. Both of those scores came courtesy of quarterback Walter, who scored from 9 and 10 yards out.

Pietrzak took over in the second quarter, which is where Pittston Area’s dominance on the night became stark. The Patriots scored 31 points in the second frame, with Pietrzak scoring on runs of 1 and 50 yards. In between, Walter hooked up with Lopresto for a 40-yard strike. And, with a minute left in the quarter, Aidan Brody expanded the Patriots lead to 47-0 on, appropriately, a 47-yard dash to the end zone.

Special teams played a big part in the first half. Kicker Gavin Wolfe routinely pinned the Trojans offense inside the 20 with his booming kickoffs after each score. Wolfe tacked on a 31-yard field goal later in the midst of Pittston Area’s second-quarter onslaught.

The game also featured a safety, which spouted from a broken fourth-down play. Punter Chris Julian was swarmed by…
