ATHENS -- Glenville State quarterback JD Sherrod's third touchdown pass of the day was a 16-yarder to Kyree Bunny to cut Concord's lead to three with 2:41 left in Saturday's game.
The Mountain Lions then turned the ball over on downs at their own 43, but Sherrod was intercepted by Berlin Campfort as the Pioneers fell 34-31 for their fifth straight loss.
Concord improved to 5-2 overall and 3-2 in the Mountain East Conference while Glenville dropped to 1-6 and 0-4 in MEC play.
Sherrod finished 35 for 53 for 362 yards. His first TD of the day -- a 49-yarder to Parkersburg South grad Triston Walker -- gave Glenville a 7-3 lead in the first. He later threw an 8-yard scoring strike to Kashez Gedeon to get the Pioneers within 27-24 early in the fourth, but Concord answered with Greg Burrell's second touchdown run of the day, a 2-yarder, to stretch the lead back to 10 with 9:18 remaining.
Glenville's Brody Layman was 3 for 3 on field goal attempts, with a long of 41 yards, while Concord kicker Christian Torres was 2 for 2.
Curtis Clark (11 carries, 113 yards, 1 TD) and Jayden Williams (15 carries, 98 yards) powered the Mountain Lions' ground game. Quarterback Devin Kargman went 20 for 35 for 272 yards through the air. He threw a touchdown to Dom Collins, who led all receivers with 109 yards on eight catches, and was picked off once by Bryson Oliver.
Concord out-gained Glenville 519-384 in the contest as the G-Men mustered just 22 rushing yards as a team.
Walker finished with 99 yards on five receptions. Joziah Gonzalez added eight catches for 89 yards while Caden Harris hauled in seven passes for 79 yards for the Pioneers, who play host to West Liberty at 1:30 p.m. next week for homecoming.
