Nitro’s Scott shares honor

Parkersburg’s comeback wasn’t as stunning, but the top-ranked team in Class AAA was facing a 10-point deficit with 11 minutes left at home after Cabell Midland scored 22 unanswered points.

It took Matt Lindamood’s monster effort to turn things around. He scored twice in the fourth quarter with runs of 28 and 1 yards, the latter with 1:35 remaining, and Parkersburg prevailed 47-41.

Lindamood finished with 287 rushing yards and five TDs to earn honors as The Associated Press state high school player of the week. Lindamood shares the honor with Keyser’s Matt Wilmer and Nitro’s Michael Scott. Wilmer ran for 335 yards, had six touchdowns rushing and one receiving in a 49-10 win over Musselman. Scott completed 16-of-25 passes for 426 yards and three TDs in a 48-33 comeback win over Poca.
