Bensalem Overpowers Abington In Turnover Filled Win

The Owls looked to bounce back after a close loss to Pennridge in week 2, and they certainly did. The Owls' defensive line dominated the Ghosts. I mentioned that this game was “turnover-filled”. That might be the biggest understatement I’ve ever made. There were a total of 7 turnovers in this game, with 4 going in favor of Bensalem and 3 in favor of Abington. 

The game started off with the Owls running back the opening kickoff, only for it to be called back for a penalty. After a touchdown pass, Bensalem took a 6-0 lead. Later in the half, the Ghosts would get the ball in the red zone. Bensalem’s defense, however, held firm and kept Abington to a field goal. After more fumbles, the Ghosts would return the favor and have the Fighting Owls to a field goal to make the score 9-3. After a Bensalem fumble, defensive stop, and bugs invading Schwarzman Stadium, the Owls scored to make it 17-3. The second half was pretty uneventful outside of a Bensalem touchdown to bring the score to 24-3 and a late Abington touchdown to get us to our final score of 24-11 Bensalem.
