Centerville High School's Tyler Replogle, an Indiana University signee, had a 13-yard interception return and Chris Givens of Chillicothe had six catches for 123 yards to help lead the South to a 50-7 win over the North in the 62nd annual North-South high school all-star football game Saturday night.

Givens, who is headed to Miami University, had touchdown scores of 29 and 27 yards in the first quarter and was named the game's MVP.

Extras

The South capitalized on five North turnovers — including three interception returns for touchdowns — in posting the most lopsided win in the history of the series.

The South led 30-0 at the end of the first quarter.

The North finally broke through midway through the third quarter when quarterback Charles Babb of Alliance threw a 47-yard TD pass to Elyria's Dan Noble.

The South later added touchdowns on a 27-yard pass from South Point's Chris Smith to Hilliard Davidson's Bo Delande. Pickerington Central's Jordan Jarell, headed to Central Michigan, capped the scoring with a 70-yard TD run with 1:46 left.

Pennsylvania beats Ohio in Big 33

Bethlehem Liberty quarterback Dan Persa ran for two touchdowns and passed for another to lead Pennsylvania to a 28-10 win over Ohio in the Big 33 Football Classic.

The victory gave Pennsylvania an 11-9 advantage over Ohio in what might be the final game of the series between the two states. This is the last year of Big 33's contract with Ohio, and it has yet to be renewed.

Ohio took a 3-0 lead at the 8:24 mark of the first quarter when kicker Nick Spadafore of Lincoln High School connected on a 34-yard field goal. Four plays earlier, Michigan State recruit B.J. Cunningham of Westerville South set up the score with a 48-yard screen from Zach Collaros of Steubenville to the Pennsylvania 19.

Pennsylvania took its first lead at the 10:07 mark of the second quarter. Persa cut back a quarterback sweep, and ran 25 yards to the end zone. State College's Tom Kondash kicked the extra point to make it 7-3.
