Dajour Stewart fumbled on the first play -- one of seven for East -- and Pat Schumacher recovered -- one of four for the Oilers. Schumacher also scored the PAT after Henderson's TD as the Oilers finished the season with a three-game winning streak.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The fight broke out after the ensuing kickoff, emptying both benches, but there were no penalties or ejections and the game resumed.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Helped by two personal foul penalties against the Oilers, the Warriors reached the 24 for a first down with 55 seconds left. After two incompletions and a sack, Andrew Fritz recovered a fumble to seal the victory.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>David Greenleaf gave the Oilers a 3-0 lead in the first quarter with a 38-yard field goal, which broke the "modern day" school record he set last week against Warren.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>But East scored two straight TDs in the second period to take a 14-3 lead.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The first came on an 83-yard run by Tim Jordan folloowing a 56-yard quick kick by Greenleaf. Jordan came into the game with 28 yards on six carries, but ended up leading all rushers with 134 yards on five attempts. Alondre Hamilton passed to Michael Mathis for the PAT.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The Oilers fumbled the  ball back to the Warriors on the first play after the kickoff, and two players later, Hamilton, on a flea-flicker, passed to Mathis for a 30-yard TD and a 14-3 East lead.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>But the Oilers were able to cut into the lead before halftime.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Dan Bouse returned the kickoff 50 yards to the East 29. Cody Johnson, Ochalek and Henderson each picked up good gains before Greenleaf hit senior Jacob Faunce for a 12-yard touchdown with 5:43 left.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The two teams traded interceptions -- Eric Decker had the Oil City pick -- before the half ended.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The Oilers reached the East 28 after the second half kickoff, but a holding call stalled that drive, and they ran out of downs. Before the Oilers scored the game-winning TD,  Fritz had two hits that caused East fumbles.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Despite the long run by Jordan, the defense yielded a respectable 228 yards. Darrin Cardone and Matt Schneider also recovered fumbles.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The offense, which was in disarray after a relatively impressive first possession that resulted in the field goal,  mustered only 139 yards, including 80 on the ground.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The Oilers also were penalized nine times for 75 yards.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Freshman Ben Koyack started the game at quarterback, but was on the sidelines in the second half due to an illness.</B></div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="355" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 21 WIDTH="116"><div> Oil City</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="39"><div> 3</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="37"><div> 6</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="36"><div> 0</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="35"><div> 8</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="45"><div> 17</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 21 WIDTH="116"><div> East</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="39"><div> 0</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="37"><div> 14</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="36"><div> 0</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="35"><div> 0</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="45"><div> 14</div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> <B>OC -- David Greenleaf, 38, field goal</B></div> <div> <B>E -- Tim Jordan, 83, run (Michael Mathis pass from Alondre Hamilton)</B></div> <div> <B>E -- Mathis, 30, pass from Alondre Hamilton</B></div> <div> <B>OC -- Jacob Faunce, 12, pass from Greenleaf</B></div> <div> <B>OC -- Bill Henderson, 4, run (Pat Schumacher run)</B></div> <bR> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></B></div> <div> <B> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="418" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 2669 WIDTH="412"><div> <B>Oct. 26 -- Oilers 29, Warren 19</B></div> <bR> <div> <B> <TABLE BORDER="7" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="223" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" ALIGN="RIGHT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" BGCOLOR=#0099FF > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP BGCOLOR=#0099FF HEIGHT= 1089 WIDTH="201"><div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="200" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 266 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="52ebf020.jpg" border=0 width="191" height="258" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 40 ><NOBR><div> <B>Photo by Jerry Sowden</B></div> <div> <B>The Derrick.</B></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>About OC field goals</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>There have been 20 field goals in Oil City history.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The longest, probably on a drop kick, was 45 yards by Kuhns (no first name available) against Warren in 1914.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Thirteen of those field goals came from the beginning of time through 1929, when Bill Lilly ht a 28-yard drop kick against Warren.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Then there wasn't any until Ron Black Jr. booted a 26-yarder against Meadville in 1981.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Since then Eric Korpela, Kaivon Maknoon, Brendan Brown, Mike Hopwood and Rick Copley Jr. had kicked field goals.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>And the longest of those -- all using a holder -- was 32 yards by  Copley. That was the game-winner against Grove City to end the 1999 season.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Hence, the "modern day" record of 35 yards by David Greenleaf against Warren.</B></div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></B></div> <div> <B>David Greenleaf kicked a 35-yard field goal, scored a touchdown and threw a touchdown pass, sparking the Oilers to a 29-19 victory over Warren in their home finale.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>It was the second-straight win and the first at home for the Oilers, who snapped a season-long seven-game losing streak last week at Central Tech. They'll close the season Saturday at Erie East.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Greenleaf, the senior transfer from Michigan, started and then alternated at quarterback with freshman Ben Koyack who for the second-straight game scored on a long run.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Koyack's 59-yard touchdown gave the Oilers a 29-13 lead with 2:29 to play. (The 6-5, 205-pounder scored on a 60-yard TD last week at Central).</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>It also pretty much sealed the deal for the Oilers, who withstood one more rally by Warren. The Dragons' second TD of the fourth quarter came on its next possession, a 10-yard run by senior QB Jeff Eaton, but his pass for the two-point conversion was batted down, preserving the victory -- but just to make sure Bill Henderson recovered the ensuing onsides kick for the Oilers.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The Oilers held the Dragons to 78 yards rushing -- the lowest total this season by the defense. They did have 210 yards passing with Eaton completing  15 of 36 throws for 209 yards, but 17 of those attempts came in the final quarter.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>There were two key plays for the Oilers.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>One was an interception by Mike Wise  that led to a 5-yard touchdown by Henderson that extended Oil City's lead to 16-6 late in the third quarter. It came after Greenleaf's field goal snapped a 6-6 tie. Logan McMahon had sacked Eaton on the previous play.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The second came midway through the fourth quarter after the Dragons had cut the lead to 16-13. On their next possession, following a 47-yard punt by Kevin Ochalek to the Warren 24, the Dragons tried a fake punt. But Cole Boje's pass to Charlie Thomas managed only 1 yard, and the Oilers took over on Warren's 25 and soon capitalized.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Eric Decker ripped off 11 yards on the first play, and three plays later, Henderson ran for an apparent first down, but a holding penalty sent the Oilers back to the 21. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>No matter.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Following a timeout, Greenleaf hit sophomore Logan Carson in the end zone for a TD and then booted the extra point to make it 23-13 with 4:23 to play.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The two teams exchanged long drives fror touchdowns in the first half, which ended in a 6-6 tie.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The Oilers scored first on Greenleaf's 3-yard run, which capped a 70-yard drive that took more than eight minutes. Greenleaf completed passes to Carson for 10 yards and Pat Schumacher for 20. A nine-yard run by Henderson on third down also kept the drive alive.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>After Greenleaf boomed the ball into the endzone, Warren marched 80 yards for its first TD, a 1-yard run by Cotie Snyder.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Greenleaf kicked his field goal after the second half kickoff. A roughing the punter call kept that drive alive, and the Oilers got two sizeable gains on the double reverse by Decker and sophomore Cody Johnson.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Johnson also caught a 31-yard pass from Koyack to key the march that made it 16-6.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Despite constant pressure up from by junior tackle Matt Schneider, the Dragons answered with a 70-yard drive that ended with Eaton's 34-yard pass to Mitch McTavish.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>After the Oilers made it 23-13, the Dragons pieced together a 30-yard drive before turning the ball over on downs on the Oilers 40. Koyack scored his touchdown three plays later.</B></div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="363" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 21 WIDTH="131"><div> Warren</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="41"><div> 0</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="36"><div> 6</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="35"><div> 0</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="37"><div> 13</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="36"><div> 19</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 21 WIDTH="131"><div> Oil City</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="41"><div> 6</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="36"><div> 0</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="35"><div> 10</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="37"><div> 13</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="36"><div> 29</div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> <B>OC -- David Greenleaf, 3, run</B></div> <div> <B>W -- Cotie Snyder, 1, run</B></div> <div> <B>OC -- Greenleaf, 35, field goal</B></div> <div> <B>OC -- Bill Henderson, 5, run (Greenleaf kick)</B></div> <div> <B>W -- Mitch McTavish, 34, pass from Eaton (Colter Johnson kick)</B></div> <div> <B>OC -- Logan Carson, 21, pass from Greenleaf (Greenleaf kick)</B></div> <div> <B>OC -- Ben Koyack, 59, run</B></div> <div> <B>W -- Eaton, 10, run</B></div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></B></div> <div> <B> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="346" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 1814 WIDTH="340"><div> <B>Oct. 20 -- Oilers 22, Central Tech 18</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Freshman quarterback Ben Koyack scored two touchdowns -- one on a 65-yard run -- as the Oilers rallied past Central Tech, 22-18, for their first victory of the season.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The lead changed hands five times before the </B></div> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="150" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" ALIGN="LEFT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 216 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="5258ad00.jpg" border=0 width="138" height="208" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 21 WIDTH="144"><div> <B>Koyack</B></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 179 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="5277eab0.jpg" border=0 width="126" height="171" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 21 WIDTH="144"><div> <B>Decker</B></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 189 ><NOBR><div> <B><IMG SRC="52985b50.jpg" border=0 width="133" height="181" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 21 WIDTH="144"><div> <B>Schneider</B></div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <div> <B>Oilers went ahead for good, 22-18, on a 37-yard run by junior Eric Decker on the second play of the fourth quarter.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Koyack's first TD, on a 1-yard keeper, and David Greenleaf's kick erased a 6-0 Tech lead in the second quarter.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Central had the ball for all but one Oil City three-and-out of the first quarter before scoring on a 5-yard pass from Terry Carson to Maleek Toran on the second play of the second quarter.

Meadville also converted a fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line as fullback Mike Prystaloski bulled into the end zone. Chuck Szitas kicked the extra point to knot the game at 7-7 with 4:03 left in the first quarter. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Although the Oilers would not score again, they did present themselves with opportunities. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The Oilers drove 32 yards to the Meadville 28-yard line on its second possession, but a fumble recovery by Matt Knapp of the Bulldogs ended the march. </B></div> <div> <B>The two teams then traded possessions before Meadville used both run and pass on a nine-play, 79-yard drive to take a 13-7 halftime lead. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Following a 45-yard punt by Kevin Ochalek, the 'Dogs opened at their own 21-yard line with an 18-yard run by Toney Phillips. Eight plays later he was on the receiving end of a pass by quarterback Jarrod Kilburn for a 25-yard touchdown. Szitas' kick was short and to the right and Meadville led 13-7 with 3:03 left before halftime. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The Oilers  got their first and only break on the second play from scrimmage of the second half when the defense forced Prystaloski to fumble and Henderson recovered at the OC 48. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Henderson picked up 36 yards on first down on a sweep around left end to the Bulldogs' 16, but a four-yard loss and 16-yard holding penalty thwarted the drive. Greenleaf's 49-yard field goal attempt fell three yards short. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The teams traded possessions once again with Meadville taking over on the 50 and once again Phillips sparked a drive with a 16-yard run on first down. Three plays later Kilburn found Preston Heagys for a 26-yard completion to the Oil City 10. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Prystaloski, who rushed for 82 yards on 20 carries, did the rest with a seven-yard gain and a 3-yard TD run. Oil City's Nik Klena broke up the two-point conversion pass attempt and Meadville led 19-7 with 2:53 remaining in the third quarter. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Oil City responded by once again entering Meadville territory, this time thanks to a 42-yard pass from freshman quarterback Ben Koyack to split end Mike Wise, who was tackled at the Bulldogs' 18-yard line. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>However, a costly mistake ruined the opportunity as an errant pitch on second down spelled a 14-yard loss on the final play of the third quarter. The Oilers didn't recover and turned the ball over on downs. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Meadville took advantage and drove 67 yards on 11 plays for the final score. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Phillips scored his second touchdown of the game on a 25-yard cutback run with 6:15 remaining. Szitas kicked the extra point to set the final margin. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Oil City coach Bill Heber, who would not use the injuries to Fox, Walters and two-way starter Pat Schumacher as an excuse, did admit, "We have a lot of people in new positions due to injuries. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>"The penalties and mistakes are costing us, and that is inexperience," he continued. "We came out and moved the football, we just couldn't convert. The kids played hard." </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Notes -- Henderson had 18 tackles, followed by Andrew Fritz with 17, Eric Decker with 14, Matt Schneider with 13 and Logan McMahon and Cody Johnson with 11 apiece.</B></div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="331" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 21 WIDTH="115"><div> Meadville</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="39"><div> 7</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="34"><div> 6</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="33"><div> 6</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="31"><div> 17</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="32"><div> 26</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 21 WIDTH="115"><div> Oil City</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="39"><div> 7</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="34"><div> 0</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="33"><div> 0</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="31"><div> 0</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="32"><div> 7</div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> <B>OC -- Bill Henderson, 1, run (David Greenleaf kick)</B></div> <div> <B>M -- Mike Prystaloski, 1, run (Chuck Szitas kick)</B></div> <div> <B>M -- Toney Phillips, 25, pass from Jarrod Kilburn </B></div> <div> <B>M -- Prystaloski, 3, run </B></div> <div> <B>M -- Phillips, 25, run (Szitas kick)</B></div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></B></div> <div> <B> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="352" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 1433 WIDTH="346"><div> <B>Oct. 5 -- Slippery Rock 35, Oilers 14</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Junior quarterback Jonathan Powell rushed for 113 yards on 13 carries and scored the game's first touchdown on a 48-yard run as Slippery Rock beat the Oilers, 35-14.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The Rockets scored on their first three </B></div> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="127" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" ALIGN="LEFT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 166 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="517749e0.jpg" border=0 width="116" height="158" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 21 WIDTH="121"><div> Wise</div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <div> <B>possessions to take a 21-0 lead late in the first half.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The Oilers scored as time was running out in the first half on a 29-yard pass from freshman quarterback Ben Koyack to Mike Wise.
