The Panthers blocked a punt, blocked a field goal, and returned a punt for touchdowns to shut out Wellsboro 42-0 at halftime. North Penn's other three touchdowns came on a runs by Jason DeHaven, Marquis Delgado, and Logan Wise.

Johnston led all Hornet rushers with 64 yards on 21 attempts. Junior Quarterback Ben Shaw led the team in passing, going 15-24 for 140 yards.
With the loss, Wellsboro ends the 2011 season with a record of 4-6.
