          Junior tailback Tony Young rushed for 202 yards on 29 carries and scored three touchdowns to pace the Cubs. He scored on runs of 22, one and 13 yards with Keith Hennegar hitting all the extra points.
          The Valley Cubs struck first following an Elba bad snap on a punt attempt gave them the football at the two yard line. Hollis Brewster scored on two yard run.
