Dallas took one more step toward an undefeated regular season on Friday night.
After grinding out scores for the first three quarters, the Mountaineers wore down Wallenpaupack in the fourth to come away with a 31-3 non-conference victory on the road.
Dylan Geskey and Brady Zapoticky accounted for two touchdowns apiece to power Dallas to an 8-0 record with games against Wilkes-Barre Area and Lake-Lehman left on the schedule.
The Mounts came into the night averaging more than 35 points per game but led just 10-0 at halftime against the Buckhorns. And they needed a fourth down plunge by Zapoticky at the goal line and a 28-yard field goal by Rowan Laubach in the final minute of the half to break through.
Geskey added another Dallas score on fourth-and-short in the third quarter to create some breathing room.
Wallenpaupack managed a field goal in the third, but Zapoticky and Zach Paczewski connected on a 17-yard score in the fourth, with Geskey adding a 3-yard touchdown to put the game away.
Wilkes-Barre Area 55, Williamsport 14
The Wolfpack found themselves trailing by a point in the first quarter. But only for a moment.
Wilkes-Barre Area ran off the next 29 points in the first half, keyed by a Davon Underwood kickoff return for a score as the Wolfpack went on the road and beat Williamsport 55-14.
Howie Shiner rumbled for three touchdowns on the ground to help Wilkes-Barre Area (5-3) take control and midseason addition Evan Laybourne-Boddie continued to be a spark, hauling in a pair of long touchdown passes from Jake Hoe in the first quarter.
The Millionaires (3-5) answered the first score by Laybourne-Boddie to take a 7-6 lead, only to have Underwood grab it right back for the Wolfpack.
Wilkes-Barre Area led 22-7 after one quarter and 35-7 at halftime.
