The Mountain Lions were limited by six turnovers, which set the Trojans up with premium field position to score 22 fourth quarter points.

Altoona quarterback Mekhi Jackson led the Mountain Lions down the field in the second quarter as he scored on a 2-yard run to give Altoona an early 7-0 lead.

Chambersburg quarterback Cam Green tossed a 38-yard touchdown pass to Davonte Scott to get the Trojans on the board in the third quarter.

Green found Scott again for an 18-yard touchdown pass to retake the lead. Malachi Tasker scored from 4 yards out after a Mountain Lions interception to extend the lead, while Green rounded out the scoring with a 4-yard pass to Cobe Penick for the 28-10 final.

It marked the third loss in a row for Altoona and only the fourth win of the season for Chambersburg, which has now won back-to-back games for the first time since weeks 1 and 2.

Most vital statistic: Altoona turned the ball over six times — four interceptions and two fumbles.

Altoona coach Vince Nedimyer Jr.: “You can’t turn the ball. I’m pretty sure we had six turnovers. Can’t turn it over.”

Chambersburg coach Gary Carter: “The effort tonight was a full game, that we haven’t had in a long time. First half, we got in a little bit of a hole. But I can’t credit them enough. They’re a tough team to coach against, but our kids believed and they bought in and they played.”
