For the record: This next-door neighbor rivalry features two schools separated by two miles — and that’s if you include the long driveway into University’s campus. The game features more than neighbors. It features family, with Gilmour QB Cooper Panteck facing his cousins at University — Preppers QB Carson Panteck and WR Caleb Panteck. … University will look to get its offense going after being locked down by Akron East last week. Carson Panteck has thrown for 285 yards this season, with Matteo Morelli (6-for-115) and Cooper Rehak (9-56) his top targets. The run game is led by Mikey Malone (308 yards), who has missed some time with injuries. Tyler Robinson, Alex Shiver and Johnny Malone have all run for more than 100 yards this season as well. … The key to this game will be defense. Can University slow down Gilmour’s offensive powerhouse? Cooper Panteck has thrown for 1,339 yards and 20 touchdowns through five games. Sean Dillard (491 yards, 8 TDs), Lars Broberg (361 yards, 6 TDs) and Ohio State commit Brody Lennon (332 yards, 5 TDs) highlight a ferocious passing attack. Gilmour is first in Division III, Region 9. University is 20th.
