Annville-Cleona runs over Columbia, 56-20

COLUMBIA - Cameron Hoch and Dominic McMillian each scored three touchdowns to lead Annville-Cleona to an easy 56-20 win over Columbia on Friday night.

Hoch scored on the first possession of the game on a 45-yard run and also added scores on runs of 11 an 33 yards. McMillian scored on runs of 9, 16 and 60 yards.

The Little Dutchmen, who remained unbeaten in Section 3, led 28-0 in the second quarter when they fumbled the football and Columbia's Kobie Wakefield returned it 40 yards for a score. A-C led the game 35-12 at the half and kicked in the mercy rule in the third quarter.

Turning point: After the Little Dutchmen scored to take a 7-0 lead, they recovered a fumble on the ensuing kickoff but were turned away when they fumbled in the end zone attempting to score. It was one of few mistakes they made for the game.

Star of the game: Hoch rushed for 145 yards on 15 carries, and his team had 448 yards on the ground.

Game delayed: Following Annville-Cleona's final score, the game was delayed for 30 minutes due to an injury to a Columbia player. Columbia dressed just 18 players for the game.

Up next: Columbia travels to Elco, while the Little Dutchmen host Northern Lebanon.
