THE SERIES:

Last Season's Meeting: Wes Sherrill's potential game-winning 39-yard field goal was blocked by Kaleb Lawrence on the game's final play to preserve Glenville State's (6-4, 5-2) 14-12 victory over Charleston (8-2, 5-2)...Pioneer quarterback James McCants struggled for much of the day, but a pair of big plays overshadowed a 6-for-20 passing effort...His four-yard third quarter touchdown rush got GSC on the board and a 58-yard fourth quarter touchdown strike to Xavier Glenn gave the Pioneers a 14-6 lead...Charleston pulled within 14-12 on DaRante Hunter's five-yard rush, but he was hurried by GSC defensive lineman Sione Maafu on the ensuing two-point conversion pass as the Pioneers maintained the lead...Three Hunter completions and a pass interference penalty moved Charleston from their own 43 to the Glenville State 22 to set up Lawrence's heroics on the blocked kick...Charleston owned a 274-199 edge in total offense...Hunter passed for 156 yards to lead UC, but was limited to 54 yards on 20 rushes...Glenville's Brian Harden gained a game-high 87 yards on 17 carries.
