TIM VIKT/For the Express Lock Haven quarterback Jackson Ostrowsky (11) prepares to run the ball against Bloomsburg earlier this season. The Bald Eagles won 35-32.

After defeating Shippensburg in convincing fashion last week, 42-21, Lock Haven heads to Gannon today for its season finale and will look to earn its fifth win of the year.

Lock Haven (4-6) could make history with its fifth win to record the program’s first back-to-back five-win seasons since 1981-82.

Jackson Ostrowsky continued his outstanding campaign with a 329-yard passing performance last week in the road sweep of Shippensburg while KJ Howard had a big game on the ground with 107 rushing yards.

Lock Haven trailed 14-0 after the first quarter but exploded for 35 points in the second quarter to set the tone and pulled away for the win.

Ostrowsky went 25 for 38 and had five touchdown passes in the win. The Bald Eagle quarterback can eclipse 3,000 passing yards for the season if he throws for 75 yards. He also has 25 passing touchdowns this season and is averaging nearly 300 yards per game to drive the offense.

While he got off to a somewhat slow start this year, Howard has picked it up in rushing fashion in recent weeks and is at 428 yards on the year and averaging 5.0 yards per carry. Damir Green is a nice running back and he has 341 rushing yards and averages 4.1 per carry.

Gannon enters Saturday’s game with a 3-6 record and defeated Clarion last week, 34-28. The Knights won two of their last three games, after defeating Edinboro, 25-21, with a 35-7 loss to Indiana (Pa.) sandwiched between the two wins.

Jayden Whitaker was key for Gannon last week in defeating Clarion as he went 27 for 36 for 366 passing yards with two touchdowns. Donell Mason and Braeden Soboleski were two targets Whitaker continued to go to as both had seven receptions for 121 and 87 yards, respectively. Mike Watkins also had six catches for 83 yards.

Whitaker has 1,805 passing yards this year, but has just nine passing touchdowns with five interceptions. Gannon has also struggled to establish a running game this year. Whitaker has just 229 yards to lead the team but has eight rushing touchdowns. David Morgan Jr. has rushed for 175 yards.

Defensively, Charles Calhoun has led Gannon’s defense with 4 1/2 sacks and 9 1/2 tackles for loss. Hayden McDonald has a team-high 79 tackles this year for Gannon.
