Riverside over Dunmore
While some teenagers were out rummaging the streets for candy, the 29 manned Riverside team and the Dunmore unit of 52 were out this Halloween evening trying to make a statement. Both of these teams coming into this game were undefeated. Both team’s had the right to say that they were the best in the […]
Ofcharsky Scores 6 Times on Homecomming
It’s amazing that such a terrible day for a high school homecoming could end up being one of the seniors best games ever. The ending score, 40-21 Abington Heights over Tunkhannock, doesn’t reflect the domination that the Comets had over their opponents. The game of football, especially in high school, is a team effort. The […]
Abington Capitalizes on Turnovers, holds off Scranton
Abington vs Scranton is a game that most figured to be an entertaining and crucial game. For me, the first thing I noticed was the massive crowd in the Abington Stands compared to the home Scranton Knights’ fans. Also, the rowdy Abington Student section was cheering and screaming before the game even started, getting the […]
7-0 Riverside’s passing attack too much for Lakeland, 44-13
I can’t see any team outside of Dunmore competing with Riverside this season. A bold statement to make from the start, but throughout the domination of a proud Lakeland team, Riverside seemed like the real deal, and a sure fire State championship contender. They have probably the best passing attack in the district, and put […]
Scranton Shuts Down DeFebo, Wallenpaupack 21-0
The game of Wallenpaupack at Scranton featured the top two running backs (rushing yards –wise) in the Lackawanna County, with Jr. Joe DeFebo of Wallenpaupack having 1200+ yards this season, and Sr. Fabby Desir of Scranton at 800+ yards. And, just a week before, Joe DeFebo ran for 210 yards against a very firm […]
Carbondale shocks the high-powered Chiefs, 28-21
Over the past few years, Lakeland has been king, in both this series and in football in this area in general. Coming into this game, I already saw Lakeland dominate a few teams and Carbondale not have great success. But, on this wet, muggy Friday night, Carbondale seemed to shock the Chiefs with a 28-21 […]
Tunkhannock plays tough, but versitle Berwick pulls away, 42-20.
Although the Tunkhannock Tigers lost the game to Berwick, 42-20, they proved to everyone that they wouldn’t go down to any team without a fight. Before the game started, you could see from the program that Tunkhannock was at a huge disadvantage. Tunkhannock had a compact list on the back of the program with decent […]
New coach bringing back the past at Lakeland
New coach Jeff Wasilchak had to not only beat his former team in Lakawanna Trail, who he built into a consistent Class A threat, but also show the Lakeland fans that he can be every bit as good as his father, Gerry Wasilchak, former coaching great at Lakeland. He was out to prove he will […]
