Whited finished with five touch- downs and Corning crushed visiting Wheatland 53-14, Thursday night, in a Division-II first round playoff game. Corning (8-3) dominated the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. The Cardinals' line negated a Pirates' running game that was with- out the services of leading rusher Tyler Larcom, sacked Wheatland quarterback Justin Bragg a half dozen times and paved plenty of holes on offense as Corning racked up 439 rushing yards. "The line did most of the work," Whited said. "I just ran the ball." The senior tail back punched in a pair of scores from two yards out in the first quarter, sandwiching a 48- yard touchdown run from Ezekiel Rodriguez. Whited's second score was set up by a Cody Long fumble recovery. It was another strong game from Long, Roy Madrigal, Austin Mal- lon, Erik Miranda, Cody Hoag, Dennis Womack and the rest of the Cardinals' front. Wheatland's first four posses- sions netted them a total of just two yards and when Corning quarter- back Ryan Holland took in a 1-yard keeper with 5:49 remaining in the first half, the Cardinals had built up a 25-0 lead. Wheatland's line then held up long enough to buy Bragg time in the pocket and he connected with Haydon Liessman on a 51-yard pass play to set up the Pirates first score, a Thomas Aiono 19-yard touch- down run. Whited would respond with another Cardinals' score with just under 2 minutes remaining in the first half.

The Cardinals picked up in the second half, where they had left off in the first as Holland, Whited and Rodriguez all ran for consecutive first downs before Whited burst in a 30-yard score for a 38-7 Corning lead. Wheatland drove to the Corning 11-yard line on their next posses- sion, but then started to go back- ward. A botched pitch play cost the Pirates 13 yards. Then an offensive pass interference call wiped out a touchdown and gave Wheatland third-and-38 from the Cardinals' 39. Two incompletions later and it was Corning's time to run again. Whited again capped a Corning drive, from 25 yards out, for his fifth touchdown of the game. The Cardinals then sent in their reserves and Nathan Fultz capped Corning's scoring with a 9-yard run. With a running clock the entire fourth quarter, Wheatland added a touchdown when Bragg found Liessman on a pair of 30-yard com- pletions ending in the end zone. The Wheatland quarterback fin- ished the game 7-for-20 for 166 passing yards. Liessman caught four of the balls for 119 yards. Whited had 148 yards to go along with his fistful of touchdowns. Rodriguez added a 101 yards on the ground and quarterback Holland picked up 83 yards. It was a nice moment for Rodriguez, who missed the first half of the season due to injury and seemingly is finding his stride down the stretch. "It felt good just to be back and have that extra gear," the senior said. Things went so right for the Car- dinals, even a botched extra point Northern Section football playoffs Division I Shasta 21 Chico 30 Division II Division III Division IV Division V Wheatland 14 Trinity 42 Fall River 40 Loyalton 36 Corning 53 Live Oak 8 Chester 27 Butte Valley 59 Enterprise 41 Gridley 21 Esparto 14 E.

(AP) — Penn State placed assistant coach Mike McQueary on administrative leave, capping a tumultuous week in which his name sur- faced as a key witness in a grand jury investigation into child sex- ual abuse allegations against a former coach. School president Rod Erick- son notified McQueary of the decision Friday, a day after the school said the receivers coach would not be present Saturday when the Nittany Lions play Nebraska because he has received threats. Penn State's receivers coach, McQueary spoke with his players after being placed on leave, which Erickson said was indefinite. McQueary testified in a grand jury investigation that eventually led to child sex- abuse charges being filed against former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky. The ensuing scandal brought down longtime coach Joe Paterno, who was fired by university trustees amid grow- ing criticism that he should have done more to stop the alleged abuse. McQueary, who testified that he saw Sandusky sodomizing a boy in the shower in 2002, has endured similar scrutiny. The university's athletic department released a one-line statement Thursday night saying it would be ''in the best interest of all'' if the receivers coach didn't attend the season's final home game at Beaver Stadium. The school did not provide details on pre- cisely who threatened McQueary. Asked if McQueary was placed on leave for his conduct or to ensure his safety, Erickson said it was ''a complicated situ- ation. ''What became clear is that, under any circumstances, he would not be able to function in a coaching role,'' Erickson said in his first news conference as president. He replaced Graham Spanier who, like Paterno, was fired Wednesday night. Athletic director Tim Curley and vice president Gary Schultz have each been charged with perjury and failing to report an incident of abuse to authorities after McQueary relayed what he had seen. Curley has taken administrative leave, while Schultz — who was already working on an interim capacity — has returned to retirement. Paterno has not been impli- cated, and prosecutors have said he is not a target of the investi- gation. Curley and Schultz, through their attorneys, have denied wrongdoing. The campus leaders faced mounting public criticism for failing to call police and prevent further suspected cases. So, too, has McQueary, who has not spoken publicly. His mother, Anne, said Thursday they have been advised not to comment. Described in court papers as distraught about witnessing the 2002 attack, unrelated local newspaper accounts from the time indicate McQueary appeared in the months and years that followed in charity events that Sandusky also took part in, or were to benefit San- dusky's group The Second Mile. Asked if McQueary would be fired, Erickson said ''there are complexities to that issue that I am not prepared to go into at this point.'' In forums online, and in comments on other websites, some have indeed called for McQueary to be ousted, but the assistant coach could be pro- tected as a whistleblower. Gerald J. Williams, a partner at a Philadelphia law firm, said Pennsylvania law is broad in protecting a person who reports wrongdoing, as long as that per- son is part of a governmental or quasi-governmental institution, such as Penn State. attempt became a highlight. After the snap sailed to around the 30-yard line, kicker Quentin McCormick picked it up and ran toward the end zone. He stopped and fired a pass into a waiting host of Cardinals and John Lowe completed the catch for a 2-point conversion. Northern Section playoff games were moved up a day to Thursday, because of the Veterans Day holiday. "The short week of practice probably in a way helped us," Corn- ing head coach John Studer said. "I think they were a little dinged up and it didn't give them time to make adjustments personal wise and for us — we've had some success in recent weeks so we didn't change a whole lot." The victory was Corning's first playoff win since 2006. The No. 3 seed Cardinals head to Sutter, Nov. 18, for a D-II semifinal game with the No. 2 Huskies.
