KANE, Pa. (D9Sports) — Erik DeLong ran for 167 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries to help Kane capture its seventh AML Title with a 33-0 win over visiting Otto-Eldred in the final AML Title Game before the league merges with the KSAC to form a super league next season.

It was the seventh AML Championship for the Wolves tying them with Smethport for the most all-time since the AML started a championship game in 1986. Kane was 7-0 in AML Title games, the only team to go unbeaten in championship contests, and it is the Wolves third straight AML Title making them the first time to win at least three in a row.

Reed Williams added a touchdown pass and two rushing touchdowns for Kane going 18 of 32 passing for 235 yards with an interception. He ran three times for 19 yards.

Williams’ scoring toss went to Ray Maze, who had eight catches for 119 yards, while JT Stewart added five grabs for 65 yards and Jake Alcorn two for 16 to go with 62 yards rushing helping the Wolves rack up 512 total yards of offense.

Kane (10-0) led 20-0 at halftime after a 14-point second quarter and then added two more third-quarter touchdowns.

Sawyer Drummond went 13 of 30 passing for Otto-Eldred (6-4), who lost twice to Kane this season, for 103 yards and two interceptions while rushing for 14 yards. Dylan Close had four catches for 51 yards, while Cameron Magee ran for 56 yards and had two catches for 14 yards.

Both teams are in the District 9 postseason with Kane the top seed in Class 2A hosting Brockway next week and Otto-Eldred securing the fourth seed in the Class 1A bracket after Redbank Valley’s loss hosting the Redbank in the first-ever home district playoff game for Otto-Eldred.
