He wanted someone to take a photo.

Of just him and senior Carson Panebianco.

It’s safe to say that the Jamestown head coach will ultimately find a prominent place to display the image, because his do-everything senior turned in another special performance in the Red & Green’s 41-14 victory over Niagara Falls.

For not only did Panebianco register 11 tackles, including a pair of sacks, on defense, but he also caught four passes for 75 yards and two touchdowns, the first of which broke the Red & Green’s all-time record for career TD receptions.

And who did he pass?

Brother, Zack (Class of 2015), of course.

Zack, a first-team all-state player who was part of the program’s state championship team exactly 10 years ago, ended his four-year high school career with 28 touchdown catches, but now Carson, also a four-year varsity player, has family bragging rights with 30.

“After every season, I go in and update any records we have,” Langworthy said. “Last year I typed his name and it kept going up and up (the all-time list).”

Now Carson has it all to himself after quarterback Dominic Gonzalez connected with him on scoring strikes of 14 and 52 yards a little more than a minute apart late in the third quarter to blow open the game and send No. 4 Jamestown (5-4) into the semifinals next Friday against No. 1 Bennett (7-1) at All High Stadium in Buffalo.

“They give me a role and some weeks it’s different than others obviously,” Carson said. “When the opportunities present themselves, you just have to capitalize when that is. Whatever the team needs for us to win.”

And the Red & Green, which defeated the Wolverines (4-5) 40-14 last week in the regular-season finale, is playing its best football at just the right time.

Chase Bonta rushed for 143 yards on 23 carries and three touchdowns, all of which came in the first half. As a team, Jamestown amassed 342 yards on the ground, including 61 from Gonazalez, and 46 apiece from Cole Bloomquist (touchdown), Luis Diaz and Ayden Samuelson.

Added altogether, it was just the kind of night that Langworthy was hoping for heading into next week’s semifinal against Bennett, which defeated the Red & Green 27-23 on Sept. 27.

“It’s going to be a great challenge, but I like where we’re at,” Langworthy said. “I love this team and anything can happen now. We’ll clean some things up, look at it and we’ll go into the game next week and give it all we’ve got.”

Before the game planning could begin, however, Carson was going to make a phone call to his older brother, who was watching last night’s game from South Carolina where he just recently moved.

“He just was special,” he said of what he remembers of Zack on the gridiron. “It was magical watching him. … Looking back now, it’s like, ‘Wow.'”

That’s kind of ironic.

Jamestown’s opponents in 2024 are probably saying the same thing about No. 15.

NOTES: Joining Panebianco as defensive standouts for Jamestown were Bloomquist with 13 tackles, Diaz with 10, Bonta with nine and Tommy Pratton with eight, including a sack. … Bonta also blocked a punt. … Kicker Jarron Cotter was successful on five of six point-after attempts. … The Wolverines scored both touchdowns in the second half. The first was a 14-yard pass from Michael Taylor to Catino Woods in the third quarter and the second was Kenauri Armstrong’s 9-yard run in the final period.
