West got on the board on its second possession of the game, when Riemenschneider found Schott near the goal line. After making a leaping catch with a defender hanging on him, Schott fought off would-be tacklers to reach the end zone. The score capped a nine play, 62yard charge.

A bright spot for Upper Dublin was Khalid Weems’ performance on special teams. He had four returns over 40 yards.
