ROBBINSVILLE — The Pisgah varsity football team lost at Robbinsville, 56-35, Friday night.

Robbinsville had 19 penalties for 165 yards compared to Pisgah's 21 infractions for 195 yards. A total of 14 of the 40 penalties called in the non-conference contest were unsportsmanlike conduct.

Robbinsville improved to 3-0 and Pisgah dropped to 1-2 overall.
