    Bonner Prendergast captures its first state title, taking out Lampeter-Strasburg 40-14 to win Class 4A crown

    Photo by Matt Topper

    MECHANICSBURG, PA — Brett Johnson was being pulled every different direction by every voice around him. The Bonner Prendergast senior defensive back was beyond the cold of the frigid Friday night wind blowing through Chapman Field at Cumberland Valley High School. The only thing he could feel was the warm feeling of victory.

    It was Brett Johnson’s two interceptions, along with Mick Johnson’s four touchdowns, that led Bonner to a 40-14 victory over District 3 champion Lampeter-Strasburg for the PIAA Class 4A state championship.

    It marks the first state championship in Bonner history.

    It has been a rewarding road for Friars’ coach Jack Muldoon, who rebuilt and remade the program into a statewide power.

    “We knew we had an opportunity to do this, if we stayed healthy this year,” said the newly minted state champion head coach. “We talked about winning a state championship all year. All year was to win every game in the Catholic League. I think after we beat Roman Catholic, that is what convinced us. Beating Roman, showing we can compete against a team like that, that legitimized us. That told us we could compete.”

    Mick Johnson led the Friars with four touchdowns, scoring two in the first half and two in the second, while rushing for a game-high 111 yards on 24 carries. He received space to run behind left tackle Caleb Tesema, left guard Chaz Ingram, center CJ Chisholm, right guard Kevin Hunter and right tackle Julius Johnson.

    Entering the game, the very reliable Lampeter-Strasburg senior quarterback Caileb Howse had completed 101 of 169 for 17 TDs without an interception. That changed Friday night. Three of his first four passes were intercepted, two by Brett Johnson, one he took for a game-changing 61-yard touchdown return on the final play of the first half.

    Brett Johnson never had two interceptions in a game before. He never had a pick-six, though came close before being tackled at the one earlier this year against Haverford School.

    A belief permeated this team since August when they began training camp. This was a team that could be playing in December.

    “The DBs spoke about this all year, but this is my first pick-six, my first time I ever had two picks in a game,” Brett Johnson said. “On the second pick, I knew I had to go for it and try to score. It was not a bad way to get my first pick-six.”

    Bonner went into halftime with a 27-14 lead, after blowing a 14-0 lead. The Friars scored on their opening two drives, the first rolling 56 yards over 12 plays that took 4:05 off the clock. That series ended with a Mick Johnson one-yard run with 6:08 left in the first quarter.

    Bonner then led 14-0, thanks to Brett Johnson’s first interception, a deflection in which he made a great diving catch for that came off the hands of Lampeter-Strasburg’s Mason Hostetter at the Pioneers’ 47.

    From there, the Friars used seven plays, and one fortunate bounce, when Mick Johnson was stopped at the one by Caileb Howse, but the ball popped free and Bonner’s Saleem Frink was right there to grab it in mid air and fall into the end zone for a 14-0 lead.

    At that moment, the Pioneers had not had a first down and were outgained, 108-6.

    Just when it seemed Lampeter-Strasburg was in a dire situation, the Pioneers’ Peter Fiorello booted a 73-yard punt, pinning the Friars at their one. Lampeter-Strasburg played the field position game, and the Pioneers took advantage.

    They got moving in the second quarter scoring on consecutive drives, when Howse hit a wide-open Dominic Brown for a 28-yard touchdown pass.

    Lampeter-Strasburg then followed that when Brown scored from six yards out tying the game at 14-14 with 5:12 left in the half.

    In 31 seconds, all the Pioneers’ comeback work was scrubbed. On the ensuing possession, the Friars answered. Mick Johnson scored his second touchdown with 31 seconds left in the half, made possible by Noel Campbell’s 40-yard completion to Jalil Hall on a third-and-five at the Pioneers’ 44.

    Then, instead of taking a knee and running the final 11 seconds off of the half, Lampeter-Strasburg opted to pass. Howse never saw Brett Johnson, who rose up and snared the ball at the Bonner 39 and weaved his way down the field for a 61-yard TD return and a 27-14 halftime lead.

    The play completely lifted the Friars. It demoralized Lampeter-Strasburg.

    This was Lampeter-Strasburg’s first time reaching the state finals, as it was Bonner’s. Pioneers’ coach Victor Ridenour guided his team to an historic season.

    Four turnovers led to Lampeter-Strasburg’s undoing.

    “To me, we had a great group of kids, and to me, and the most unselfish group of kids that I have ever been around,” Ridenour said. “They never cared who got the credit. This was their time to shine and they did. I think we adjusted fairly well to their speed, we just shot ourselves with mistakes. We did a good job all year not turning the ball over.

    “This was a bad game for all of those things to come out.”

    2024 PIAA Class 4A Championship Preview: Lampeter-Strasburg (14-0) vs. Bonner Prendergast (11-2)

     

    Each year brings a new level of uniqueness when the Pennsylvania high school football community converges on Chapman Field at Cumberland Valley High School the first week of December for the PIAA state championships.

    This year is no different.

    Last year, four state champions returned to defend their titles. This year, there is only one, two-time defending Class 6A state champion St. Joseph’s Prep, which is looking to threepeat.

    For the first time ever, there will be three Philadelphia Catholic League teams in the state finals: St Joe’s Prep (6A), Roman Catholic (5A) and Bonner Prendergast (4A). Last year, there were three programs that reached the state finals for the first time in school history. This year, that number has doubled to six, which includes District 9 1A champion Port Allegany, District 4 2A champion Troy, District 9 2A champion Central Clarion, District 3 4A champion Lampeter-Strasburg, District 12 4A titlist Bonner Prendergast and District 12 5A champion Roman Catholic.

    Last year, eight of the 12 teams involved in the state championships were undefeated. This year, that’s been cut to five: Port Allegany (14-0),

    Troy (15-0), Central Clarion (14-0), Northwestern Lehigh (15-0) and Lampeter-Strasburg (14-0). Of the 12 teams competing in the states this weekend, eight have never won a state title, and that includes three games that will crown a first-time state champion: Class 2A Troy-Central Clarion, 3A Avonworth-Northwestern Lehigh and the 4A game between Lampeter-Strasburg and Bonner Prendergast, along with 5A Roman Catholic and 1A Port Allegany.

    Until this season, neither of the Class 2A finalists, Troy and Central Clarion, along with Roman Catholic and Lampeter-Strasburg, ever won a state playoff game.

    While at Class 6A, nothing it seems impedes Philadelphia heavyweight St. Joseph’s Prep. The Hawks were considered a young team entering this season and have grown considerably as the year has progressed. St. Joe’s Prep will be making its ninth-straight championship appearance, going for its second threepeat in program history, sixth state title in seven years, and its ninth state title overall in the last 12 years. The Hawks top the list of large school state champions (8—two at 4A and six as a 6A) since the PIAA instituted the state high school playoff system in 1988. Since the 6A system was incorporated in 2016, St. Joe’s Prep has been involved in every Class 6A state championship.

    Of the 12 teams playing in the state championship this weekend, for the first time in PIAA state championship history, District 12 leads all areas with three teams from the same league (Bonner-Prendergast, Roman Catholic and St. Joe’s Prep), followed by two teams each from District 7 (Avonworth, Pittsburgh Central Catholic), District 9 (Port Allegany, Central Clarion) and District 3 (Lampeter-Strasburg, Bishop McDevitt), and one each from District 4 (Troy), District 6 (Bishop Guilfoyle) and District 11 (Northwestern Lehigh).

    Here is a thumbnail bio of 4A:

    Class 4A Thursday 7 p.m. at Cumberland Valley

    (D-3) Lampeter-Strasburg (14-0) vs. (D-12) Bonner Prendergast (11-2)

    Not many expected this. Statewide, the anticipation was for a Thomas Jefferson-Bonner Prendergast title clash, but the Pioneers of Lampeter-Strasburg crashed the party with a comeback 20-16 victory over Jefferson, after trailing 16-3 at halftime. Things were so bad for Lampeter-Strasburg that it was limited to a mere 11 yards of total offense in the half and just four plays in the second quarter. Pioneers’ senior quarterback Caileb Howse then put the team on his back and pulled them to a second-half comeback, rushing for one score and throwing for another. Lampeter-Strasburg kicker Peter Fiorello is a weapon, who booted 19- and 31-yard field goals. This is the first time for both Lampeter-Strasburg and Bonner Prendergast in the state finals. The Friars and St. Joe’s Prep, however, hold a unique distinction over the other 12 teams in the state championships this week—as the only two teams to have beaten a state finalist, District 12 5A champion Roman Catholic, this season. Bonner Prendergast’s only two losses this season have come against arguably the best two teams in the state, two-time Class 6A champion St. Joe’s Prep and District 12 6A runner-up La Salle. Undefeated Lampeter-Strasburg has not faced any team on its schedule comparable to Prep or La Salle. Can the Pioneers contain the Bonner Prendergast’s explosive tailback tandem of Saalem Frink and Mikhail Johnson, who combined for 326 yards and 6 touchdowns in the Friars’ overpowering 55-26 state semifinal win over District 11 champ Southern Lehigh? Who will match up with Bonner Prendergast’s West Virginia-bound 6-foot-3, 180-pound wide receiver/defensive end Jalil Hall? How will Lampeter-Strasburg deal with the Friars’ speed?

  • Semaj Beals throws 4 touchdown passes and Roman Catholic rolls past Rustin 41-17

    Semaj Beals throws 4 touchdown passes and Roman Catholic rolls past Rustin 41-17

    WEST CHESTER – Just over two minutes were left in the second quarter and Roman Catholic was faced with its backs against the wall. Its high-powered offense was at that moment scoreless behind two fumbles, they trailed 3-0, and they were facing 4th-and-1 from their own 37-yard line.

    Roman Catholic Head Coach Rick Prete made the aggressive move to go for it instead of punting and most likely trail at the half. The Cahillites converted and scored a touchdown on that same drive, turning the tide of the PIAA 5A State Semifinal against West Chester Rustin. The touchdown started an avalanche of scoring that lifted Roman Catholic to a 41-17 win on Friday Night at West Chester Henderson’s J. Oscar Dicks Stadium and its first appearance in a PIAA State Final in program history.

    “Win the game,” Prete said. “You have to take those opportunities and that was not a spot to be conservative. You have to go take it when you have I think the best player in the State in Eyan Stead with the ball in his hands in that situation. We trust our defense as well in that spot.”

    The Cahillites (11-4) saw two of its first four drives of the game end in fumbles with the first ending a promising drive that made it to the Rustin 39-yard line. The second fumble set the Golden Knights (13-2) up at the Roman Catholic 29-yard line to conclude the first quarter. Freddie Adler gave Rustin the initial 3-0 lead with a 30-yard field goal following the fumble.

    The stage was set for Prete’s aggressive 4th-and-1 call after the teams traded punts. His defense had limited the Golden Knights to just two first downs at that point and trailed by just three despite the two turnovers. Eyan Stead bounced around the left side and picked up 16 critical yards to convert the fourth down for the Cahillites. Stead finished the drive with an 18-yard touchdown reception that gave Roman Catholic the 7-3 lead at halftime.

    “We had trouble keeping up when they went to their fast tempo,” Rustin head coach Mike St. Clair said. “There were a couple of breakdowns on that last drive in the first half and then we got worn down in the second half. The way we tried to win was establishing long time-consuming drives but they shut us down.”

    Roman Catholic needed less than two minutes to extend its lead to 14-3 to open the second half as Stead snagged a 29-yard touchdown pass from Beals for his second score of the game. With the Golden Knights now on their heels, Eisa Nealy took a screen pass 46 yards for a touchdown on the next Cahillites drive that made it 21-3.

    “I tip my hat for what Rustin was able to do early on defense,” Prete said. “We were able to flip it by not pressing and trying to force ourselves to make a big play on every play. With the style they play, it was imperative to score before the half and get the ball to start the third quarter. It allowed us to set the tempo.”

    The Golden Knights turned to its do-it-all running back Chase Hatton to give them hope with the game slipping away and he returned the ensuing kickoff 45 yards to set up the drive at the Roman Catholic 30-yard line. JoJo Magolon caught a 24-yard pass on 3rd-and-11 and Hatton scored from seven yards out on the next play that cut the deficit to 21-10 with 3:33 left in the third quarter.

    However, any hope was quickly vanquished by Cahillites running back, JoJo Delecce who started the 4th Quarter with a 44-yard touchdown run that made it 28-10. Rustin fumbled on its first play of the next drive and Beals tossed his fourth and final touchdown pass of the night to Nealy that made it 34-10.

    “I always want to make sure my wide receivers eat,” Beals said. “I am super honored to help lead this team to its first state final.”

    Beals, the city all-time passing leader, threw for 309 yards on 24-of-36 passing with his four touchdown strikes. Nealy and Stead had similar totals of five catches each for 98 and 94 yards along, respectively. Tayden Mines led all receivers with 10 catches for 102 yards.

    The Cahillites closed out the win by letting the combo of Delecce and Jeremiah Tabb pound its way through a very strong Rustin defense. Tabb capped off the night with a 17-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter.

    “Our offensive line was phenomenal, and our running backs bounced back from ball security problems,” Prete said. “That allowed us to get settled in by establishing the run and Semaj was able to spread them out.”

    Roman Catholic held a decisive 541-172 total offense advantage behind a balanced attack of 309 passing yards and 232 rushing yards.

    Hatton, the all-time Rustin leader in offensive touchdowns, finished his career by just hitting the century mark with 100 yards on 14 carries and scored a second touchdown from a 60-yard run late in the fourth quarter. Behind a 30-man senior class, the Golden Knights captured their second District 1 Championship in program history.

    “I am really proud of this team,” St. Clair said. “13 wins, beat a lot of top teams in this area, and a District Championship. Just hats off to these kids and this senior class will go down as a special one for this program.”

    The Cahillites get their chance at a State Championship that had eluded them before, especially the last two years where they saw their season end at the hands of Imhotep Charter in agonizing fashion both times. They will take on a former State Champion in Bishop McDevitt that much like the Cahillites, are no short of on-field talent.

    “We still have more work to do, and we have another game to get ready for.” Prete said. “This chance to play for a State Title next week is a culmination of all the work of these guys. This is not a one year thing this is our sixth year at this, and we have been chipping away. We have learned from our setbacks to Imhotep to work hard and we have a heck of an opportunity in front of us against a heck of an opponent next week.”

  • Northwestern Lehigh  defeats Scranton Prep 34-0 in Class 3A quarterfinal

    Northwestern Lehigh defeats Scranton Prep 34-0 in Class 3A quarterfinal

    BERWICK-Northwestern Lehigh looked like a team on a mission Saturday night at Crispin Field in Berwick. The Tigers reached the state final in 2023, and find themselves just one victory away from doing it again in 2024. In the second half, Northwestern Lehigh got contributions from all three phases of the game, which opened up some separation on the scoreboard, enabling the Tigers to pull away for a 34-0 win. Northwestern Lehigh (14-0) knocked Scranton Prep out of the state playoffs for the second consecutive season and will advance to face Danville (14-0) next week in the PIAA Class 3A semifinals.

    “Yeah, very pleased,” Northwestern Lehigh coach Josh Snyder said. “You get to this stage in the quarterfinals, you’re going to play a good football team, and they were a good football team, very stingy on defense. Unfortunately for them, a heck of a player, the (Louis) Paris kid went down. They weren’t quite the same after that, but proud of our guys. Our defense is incredible, all year long, and tonight was nothing different. Our playmakers didn’t make as many plays as they normally did in the first half, but I thought as the game went on, we gained some confidence.”

    Scranton Prep (12-2) lost Paris to a second-quarter injury, and the Cavaliers were only able to rack up 77 yards of offense on the night. Throughout much of the first half, the Cavaliers’ defense hung in there. However, late in the second quarter, the Tigers began to find success and control the clock. Shane Hulmes crossed the goal line from a yard out to complete an impressive 17-play, 80-yard drive with 2:47 remaining. Eli Zimmerman, who had a huge game that included 149 rushing yards, carried the ball 11 times on the lengthy downfield march behind an offensive that became more dominant as the game wore on.

    “O-line was great,” Zimmerman said. “Each week, they’ve been awesome. I really don’t think they get all the credit they deserve. Week in and week out, they’re facing some big bodies and they’re creating space for our backs. They’re playing on the other side of the ball on the defensive side, so it’s a great team effort for them up front. They really get the game going and they set the tone for us.”

    The Tigers threatened to take a two-score lead into halftime, but a 23-yard field goal attempt sailed wide left as the first-half horn sounded. However, it would only be a matter of time before the special teams atoned and came through with a momentum-changing play. Following a defensive stop on Scranton Prep’s initial series of the second half, Zimmerman fielded a punt at his own 20. The senior worked through some traffic, then cut back to the right side of the field and was off to the races. His 80-yard punt return not only gave Northwestern Lehigh a 14-0 lead, but put a compromised Scranton Prep offense in a tough spot facing a two-score deficit.

    “I thought Eli was losing his touch there for a while, he hadn’t had a punt return for a touchdown in a number of weeks, but that was his seventh on the season,” Snyder said. “He can make something out of nothing. We were actually in punt return safe there, he let the ball bounce, and sometimes the defense just takes a little bit of a break when that happens. We had a couple guys bust their butt there down the sideline to give him a little bit of an escort. That really lifted us going up by two scores, especially since they were struggling to score. Knowing that they would have to throw it without their quarterback was difficult for them.”

    On the very next offensive play, Brady Zimmerman intercepted a pass to set up Northwestern Lehigh in Scranton Prep territory. Shane Leh would cap off the quick three-play drive with a 1-yard touchdown pass to Hulmes. The 14-point outburst in exactly one minute provided plenty of cushion, given the way the Tigers were in total control on both sides of the line of scrimmage.

    “In the first half, I didn’t think we played too bad,” Eli Zimmerman said. “The big thing was we couldn’t finish in the end zone. We had a lot of points left off the board, so at halftime, we really just had to make some adjustments where you punch some of those in, and I think we did that. A lot of momentum came in the second half, a lot of big plays. My brother had a huge interception, and that’s just the way we play the game this year.”

    Later in the decisive third quarter, the Tigers resorted to some trickery. Michael Lagowy was originally part of a huddle near the sidelines. When the rest of the offense lined up in the center of the field, Lagowy stayed near the edge of it, outside the numbers. Leh found him wide open down the right sideline for a 36-yard touchdown pass that pushed the lead to 28-0. Lagowy led all receivers with 59 yards on two catches.

    “We actually stole that one from North Schuylkill a couple of weeks back when we played them,” Snyder said. “We scouted them and we noticed they did it. Now they didn’t score on it, but we gotta give a little shout-out to North Schuylkill. We have a lot of different packages on offense, so we ran a bunch of guys on, and a bunch of guys came off the sideline, and one just stood there. Their corner actually followed them over for a good bit. I thought they sniffed it out, and just like that, he double-backed, and I knew we had it. It was fun, you’ve got to come up with some different things to have fun. At this stage of the game, it can’t just be all business. It’s our 14th week or something like that, and these guys are great.”

    Mason Bollinger closed things out with a 2-yard touchdown run in the middle part of the fourth quarter. Northwestern Lehigh completed its fifth shutout of the season, and will now set its sights on Danville. Should the Tigers emerge victorious in that one, a matchup with the winner of Avonworth-Penn Cambria would be on the horizon in two weeks.

    “The goal has been to get back to that state final and win it this year,” Zimmerman said. “We had a little bit of adversity in the summer losing one of our buddies, Tucker (Wessner). We all have (his number) on our wrist tape, because we’re playing for him, and we just hope we can bring back that title for him and his family back to New Tripoli.”

  • Harrisburg Captures Fourth Straight District 3 6A Title,  42-14 Over Wilson WL

    Harrisburg Captures Fourth Straight District 3 6A Title, 42-14 Over Wilson WL

    The high school football season is a marathon and not a sprint.  The Harrisburg Cougars are a perfect example of how a football team can go from question marks to champion in the course of a season.  Navigating through eligibility and injury issues, Head Coach Cal Everett has molded Harrisburg back into a District Champion.  “The team understands what the ultimate goal is” said Coach Everett.  “We pride ourselves on playing our best football in the post season.”  Harrisburg played with that post season pride on Saturday.  The Cougars started fast and ran away with a convincing 42-14 win over Wilson WL and a fourth straight District 3 6A Championship. The victory moves Harrisburg on in the PIAA State football Championships.  Harrisburg will take on Pittsburgh Central Catholic next.

    Harrisburg took full advantage of Wilson mistakes throughout the contest and turned them into 21 points.  Wilson missed on two fake punts and an end zone interception also proved costly for the Bulldogs.  A balanced Cougar rushing attack was led by Messiah Mickens two TDs

    Cougar OT Kevin Brown has had a roller coaster year for the Cougars. “as I got back from my injury, oh it felt good to be with my teammates.  Our goal is to be state champions, that is our goal from day 1 and here we are one step closer.”

    Wilson received the opening kickoff.  Harrisburg forced a three and out.  A high punt snap botched the kick and Harrisburg took advantage.

    Both teams battled through quarter one.  Harrisburg got a drive going and started the 2nd quarter with a TD.

    A bit time swing came late in quarter two.  A big time Cougar stop, an ensuing Harrisburg TD, then a Wilson TD to make it 21-6 Harrisburg at the break.

    Harrisburg poured it on in quarter three.


    D’ANtae Sheffey and Quincey Brannon scored, and it was just about over for Wilson A late TD made it 42-14  Harrisburg.

  • Muncy tops Lackawanna Trail in 47-46 thriller with late 2-point conversion

    Muncy tops Lackawanna Trail in 47-46 thriller with late 2-point conversion

    SCRANTON — Austin Johnson had barely broken the plane of the goal line with the football when Muncy’s Kenny Hampe and Cameron Kamerer ran over to coach Sean Tetreault.

    “We’re going for two,” Hampe shouted at his coach.

    It wasn’t a request. It wasn’t even a demand. It was a statement. Johnson’s 32-yard catch-and-run touchdown on a screen pass had brought Muncy within one point of Lackawanna Trail with just 75 seconds remaining in Friday’s PIAA Class A first-round game at Scranton Memorial Stadium.

    Even before that moment Tetreault had decided he would go for two points if the Indians scored. But when his players approached him, it made him even more sure it was the right decision.

    Johnson barreled through a couple defenders and plunged into the end zone for a successful two-point conversion that was the winning margin in a wild 47-46 victory over District 2 champion Lackawanna Trail.

    To call Friday’s game a track meet would have been an insult to track meets. There was more running than at the Boston Marathon. The two teams combined for 1,074 yards of offense, including 892 on the ground. Johnson finished with 284 yards and three touchdowns. Trail running back Isaac Ryon ran for 303 yards and a trio of touchdowns, and the Lions’ Demitrius Douglas added 167 yards and two touchdowns.

    But the most important play of the night didn’t count toward those rushing totals. But it was the final two points that gave Muncy its first state playoff win since beating Millersburg, 49-0, on Nov. 16, 2019.

    Muncy advances to the state quarterfinals where it will face either Delone Catholic or Belmont Charter. Those teams play at 1 p.m. Saturday.

    “I knew I was going for two, I just didn’t know what I wanted to do,” Tetreault said. “But when the kids come over and they’re so passionate about it, it’s 100 percent we’re going for it. When you have Cameron Kamerer, who is one of the best tight ends in the state, and Kenny Hampe, who is one of the best linemen in the state, who want to go for two, it’s an easy decision and we’re going to run behind those two. And they made me look good.”

    In a game which felt like the team with the ball last was going to win, Muncy’s Stiles Eyer proved that theory wrong when he intercepted Trail quarterback Tyler Jervis with 50 seconds to go on his own 11-yard line. It was the third interception for a Muncy defense which had absolutely no answer for a Lions running attack which went for nearly 500 yards.

    But they did have an answer in the secondary, picking off three of the five passes Jervis threw, two from Dominic Guardini, and the clincher from Eyer.

    “Lackawanna is a really good ball control team. They don’t fumble,” Eyer said. “We knew the only way we’re getting the ball back is if they pass the ball and we get some turnovers that way. And we did.”

    “It all goes back to believing we’re one best teams in the state,” Tetreault said. “If we believe and we execute, we’re a force to be reckoned with.”

    Offensively, the Indians were definitely that Friday. And it largely came on the back of their 200-pound running back who is the only player in school history to run for 2,000 yards in a season. But when it had to have a score after Lackawanna Trail took a 46-39 lead with 1 minute, 50 seconds to play, the Indians turned to the right arm of Eyer.

    The senior quarterback found Landyn Wommer for 26 yards to get into Trail territory. He then threw a dart to the sideline to Paxton Derr for 10 more yards. And that set up a throwback screen to Johnson, who hadn’t had a catch all game.
    But he slipped one tackle and found a convoy of blockers sealing off the left sideline. He made one stutter-step move to get through the last defender and get into the end zone for the potential tying touchdown. And that’s when Muncy’s players insisted Tetreault go for two.

    “We have so much confidence, especially in the line,” Johnson said. “We know we’re going to send it, go for it, and leave it all out there. I wasn’t going down there. I just said I’m punching it in.”

    “That kid’s a freight train,” Eyer said. “On the two-point conversion I told him if he gets caught up, I’m right behind him. But he didn’t need me. The kid squats 600 pounds, he deadlifts 700, and he benches 400. He didn’t need any help.”
    Eight of Johnson’s runs went for more than 10 yards. He had touchdown runs of 48 and 59 yards, and a 42-yard explosion which set up a 4-yard scoring run.

    He was the workhorse which made the Muncy offense go on a night where it had to operate at optimum efficiency. His work allowed for counters from the Indians offense which included and Landyn Wommer 54-yard touchdown run, or a 64-yard touchdown pass to Kamerer in the first half.

    “That’s the belief in who we are,” Tetreault said. “We have to believe in our process and believe in our system. We couldn’t stop the Wing-T, but we kids made plays when they needed to.”

    Trail forced Muncy to play one of the best offensive games — considering what was on the line — in the program’s history because its rushing attack was unstoppable. The Lions had won 10 games in a row on the back of its Wing-T offense which produces yards and points like Hershey’s produces chocolate.

    The Lions got to the perimeter with ease, creating a gap between Muncy’s defensive ends and tackles, allowing pulling guards and tackles to clear out any linebackers before getting into the Muncy secondary.

    No matter how many times they ran it, and no matter whether it was Ryon or Douglas carrying the ball, the Lions averaged nearly 10 yards per carry. Ryon had touchdown runs of 68, 56 and 29 yards. And 19 of Trail’s 55 rushing attempts went for 10 yards or more.

    “It’s the Wing-T way, get as many bodies to the point of attack as possible, get one crease, and then go,” Tetreault said. “They hit the C-gap hard and we have to do a better job to shore that up. But the Wing-T is tough to stop. (Ryon) us a heck of a back. I don’t think anybody can stop him. Our kids just made enough plays to win us the game.”

    “I’ve been waiting my whole high school career for a game like this,” Johnson said. “This is just an amazing feeling. It’s so great for our school and community.”

    Hatton Leads Rustin Past Chester 45-16

    WESTTOWN  — West Chester Rustin knew the formidable foe it had in front of it Friday night. A season-ending loss to Chester in last year’s district semifinals was hard to forget.

    The No. 7 Clippers traveled to the No. 2 Golden Knights for a District 1-5A quarterfinal fight that pitted two powerful defenses and potent offenses against each other in a playoff rematch.

    Aided by the sting from last season’s, Rustin rode a three-touchdown day from senior Chase Hatton and took advantage of a multitude of miscues by Chester to cruise to a 45-16 victory and advance to next week’s semifinal against No. 6 Upper Dublin.

    “I know everybody else it didn’t sit well with them,” Hatton said of last season’s season-ending defeat. “We were working all offseason for this moment. Personally, I was disappointed in myself because I thought I could have gone a little bit more than I had. So this year I promised myself to give everything I had every second of every game.”

    Chester (10-2) took down Rustin 26-20 last season and came in on an absolute tear having scored 40-or-more points in eight straight games, while allowing a total of 27 points in its last six. The Golden Knights (11-1) were averaging more than 45 points per game, while holding opponents to just a touchdown per game in their four contests heading into Friday.

    Through a quarter of play the lock-down defenses kept the high-powered offenses in check with a scoreless 12 minutes of play. However, after a fourth-down stop at midfield, Rustin scored the game’s first points on a 12-yard run by Hatton with 9:28 left in the second quarter and that seemed to break the game loose.

    A Chester fumble two plays later helped set Hatton up for his second score of the game — this time from three yards out. The Clippers’ next drive lasted just two plays as well as the Golden Knights turned another Chester fumble into another Hatton score, going up 21-0 with 1:46 left in the first half. Hatton ran the ball 17 times for 98 yards.

    “It’s amazing when the defense goes out and gets the ball for us,” Rustin offensive lineman Charlie Covington said. “We can’t ask for any more and they stopped a great team like that to 16 points.”

    Chester ended its final three offensive drives of the first half with fumbles. The Clippers lost four fumbles in the first half and finished the game with seven fumbles, losing five of them. Another fumble almost spoiled the Clippers’ first offensive drive of the second half, but quarterback Jalen Harris was able to recover it and find Shamar Williams for a 47-yard pass play.

    The offensive burst was short lived for the Clippers, who were halted by the Golden Knights defense at the Rustin 31 on a 4th-down try. Hatton ripped off a 47-yard run of his own to set up a 10-yard touchdown pass from quarterback David McClain to Luke Matthias that extended the lead to 28-0 with five minutes left in the third.

    Hatton’s big run was one of just two Golden Knights plays that broke for more than 20 yards in the game. Behind Covington, who Hatton described as a “dog” and a “great leader”, and fellow linemen Nicky Santangelo, Jackson Wolfe, Nick Hornbach and Andrw Shallo, the Rustin backfield was content to grind the ball down the field, toward the goal line and keep the Chester offense off the field.

    “Coaches teach us to do eight minute drives and that’s what we do,” Covington said. “That’s what we did.”

    Rustin scored the game’s first 38 points — adding a 37-yard field goal from Freddie Adler and an eight-yard touchdown pass from McClain to tight end Billy Tigue — before Chester finally got on the board on a 75-yard kickoff return by Jerrell Palmer with 7:24 left in the game.

    Outside of a 47-yard pass play and a 74-yard touchdown pass Harris to Williams against Rustin’s backup defense, Chester was held to just 54 yards from scrimmage.

    “Both our offensive and defensive scout team, they did a phenomenal job to get us playing up to that standard,” Rustin coach Mike St. Clair said.

    “They had a couple turnovers that really hurt them,” he added. “We learned a lot from playing them last year down there, what to expect defensively. We just repped it all week and we executed very well tonight. We didn’t turn the ball over.”

    Ryan Loper ran 15 times for 72 yards and a touchdown for Rustin. McClain completed three of his four pass, including a pair of touchdowns to his tight ends, who were rewarded for their blocking up front. Williams caught two passes for 124 yards and a touchdown to highlight Chester’s offensive night.

    Prior to last season’s semifinal loss to Chester, the Golden Knights finished as District 1-5A runner-ups in 2020, 2021 and 2022. Rustin won a district title in 2008. Also lost a 4th finals in 2018

    Rustin has now reached at least the district semifinal round for the seventh straight season. The Golden Knights have reached the title game four times during that stretch — though they are still chasing an elusive district crown.

    The team that has stood in Rustin’s way in three of those title games is Upper Dublin. The Cardinals have won four of the five postseason games the teams have played since 2014 heading into next Friday’s matchup.

    The key for the Golden Knights?

    “Same thing we’ve been doing,” Hatton said of what it will take to get past the semifinal round.  “If it aint’ broke don’t fix it. We keep winning. We’ve got a game plan. We celebrate tonight but tomorrow it’s back to work.”

  • Mount Carmel Area Dominates Milton Area in 1st round 55-26

    Mount Carmel Area Dominates Milton Area in 1st round 55-26

    MOUNT CARMEL – Over the past two seasons, Milton hasn’t made things easy for Mount Carmel. The Black Panthers sprung an upset last year, and just two weeks ago, it took some time for Mount Carmel to pull away. Saturday night, that trend was emphatically reversed. Outside of a little hiccup at the start of the game, the Red Tornadoes exorcised some demons. Mount Carmel scored on five consecutive drives in the first half while rolling up 303 yards of offense, as the No. 3 seed Red Tornadoes strolled into the District 4 semifinals with a 55-26 win. No. 2 seed Lewisburg (9-1) will await Mount Carmel next week, with the game to be played at Milton High School on Friday night.

    “It felt like there were some demons out when the game started, when we gave up that kick return and they scored,” Mount Carmel coach John Darrah said. “We had a sloppy offensive series, and I was thinking ‘here we go,’ but then our kids settled in. I was happy with the way we ran the football and defended the run, which when it gets colder out, is what you have to do to be successful. I thought it was a good team win.”

    No. 6 seed Milton (4-7) was coming off a nice victory at Warrior Run last week, and things started well enough for the Black Panthers. Monte Fisher returned the opening kickoff 63 yards to set up Milton with a very short field to navigate. However, the Red Tornadoes defense held on downs, but the offense handed the ball right back with a fumble on their initial offensive series. Fisher caught a 17-yard touchdown pass from Izayah Minium to give Milton a very brief 6-0 lead, and it wouldn’t take very long for the floodgates to open for Mount Carmel.

    Jaylen Delaney got the scoring party started with a 38-yard touchdown run that saw him make a couple of nice moves to avoid tackles on his way to the end zone. Delaney continues to show his versatility as he tallied a game-high 94 yards on only six carries. The sophomore is also Mount Carmel’s leading receiver, and had a 14-catch outing against Central Columbia back in Week 2.

    “He’s just a really good athlete,” Darrah said of Delaney. “When we was in junior high, he was more of a running back and doing this kind of stuff all the time, so we know he’s just dangerous with the ball in his hands. It’s just about getting the ball in his hands so he can do a lot of things, and I think he showed that tonight.”

    Following Delaney’s run, Mount Carmel would score two more times in the opening quarter. Gavin Marshalek found Chase Balichik for a 51-yard touchdown pass, and Cooper Karycki bounced a run to the outside for a 13-yard sprint to paydirt. After being shutout by Shamokin last week, the Red Tornadoes got back on track in a big way. Thirteen different players got carries out of the backfield, with five them crossing the goal line.

    “Oh yeah, it felt great, Delaney said. “We were running the ball all over them in the first half with our starters, and it felt great.”

    Mount Carmel (8-3) continued to move the ball against very little resistance in the second quarter. Delaney scored on an inside handoff from 9 yards out, and then the defense would chip in. Andrew Lukoskie picked up what amounted to backwards pass and took it the distance for a 16-yard touchdown, extending the lead to 34-6 with 9:16 left before halftime. Any hangover from an emotional Coal Bucket game the week before had clearly vanished in a rebound performance.

    “That’s the makeup of this team,” Darrah said. “We’re able to just keep battling, not let stuff rattle us and things like that. Just an overall good team victory. We got a lot of different guys involved in a lot of ways. I’m just proud of the way the kids bounced back this week.”

    One of the many players who contributed was Luke Blessing. On opening night, Blessing suffered a knee injury at North Schuylkill that looked like it could be season-ending. Blessing had missed a good chunk of his senior season, but showed signs of the 1,300-yard rusher he was in 2023. He carried six times for 56 yards, and scored on a 2-yard run with 4:19 remaining in the second quarter.

    “It’s really unbelievable,” Darrah said. “What a great kid, and obviously what happened to him was unfortunate. Great to see him getting stronger every week and having some success. He scored a touchdown tonight, so I definitely feel good about him doing that.”

    Michael Kimsal closed out the dominant first half by running straight up the middle on his first carry of the night for 32-yard touchdown. Max Karycki notched his first career touchdown with a 3-yard run midway through the third career. With the mercy rule in effect for the entire second half, Mount Carmel used plenty of reserves the rest of the way. The Red Tornadoes’ offensive line paved the way for a stable of backs all night, which will be needed against the likes of Lewisburg, and potentially Danville, down the road.

    “It’s amazing,” Delaney said. “Every game they’re dominating up front. The holes are wide open for us to run through.”

  • Western Wayne Outlasts Berwick In Defensive Battle

    Western Wayne Outlasts Berwick In Defensive Battle

    LAKE ARIEL-In an old-fashioned defensive struggle where big plays and points were hard to come by, Western Wayne was finally able to finish off one of several long drives the Wildcats put together against a valiant Berwick defense. Early in the fourth quarter, Sean Owens crossed the goal line from three yards out following a long run by Josh Vinton. The touchdown ended up being the only points of the night, as the Western Wayne defense made it enough to stand up in a 7-0 win. No. 2 seed Western Wayne (10-1) will host No. 3 seed Wyoming Area (10-1) next week in the District 2 semifinals. It will be a rematch of a Week 3 game won by the Wildcats.

    “Defense made plays when they had to make plays, and they made them,” Western Wayne coach Shane Grodack said. “They stood up and made some good plays, especially in the second half of this game when our offense stumbled a little bit at certain times. The defense had to stand up and the defense played well.”

    No. 7 seed Berwick (4-7) denied Western Wayne twice when the Wildcats got inside the Bulldogs’ 30-yard line. However, the third time proved to be a charm in a game where possessions were limited. Vinton broke loose on a 46-yard run that gave his a team a first-and-goal. It looked like Berwick was about a force a field goal attempt, but the Bulldogs were flagged for a roughing the passer call on third-and-goal from the 6. On the next play, Owens took a snap out of the wildcat formation and worked his way into the end zone.

    “Brutal,” Berwick coach C.J. Curry said. “That’s been the story of our season. Just not to being able to take our foot out of our mouth, so to speak, when it comes down to big plays and us just making the big mistake. Same thing down there, but our guys, I just can’t credit them enough for how hard they fought and that they made tough plays. Unfortunately, the ball has to bounce your way in the playoffs a little bit, and credit to (Western Wayne). Unbelievably coached team, great players, Vinton is a stud. They have a lot of studs on that team. Wishing them the best of luck, but I’m proud of our guys.”

    Vinton was an absolute workhorse for Western Wayne. The senior carried the ball 37 times for 154 yards, and had the Wildcats in position to get on the scoreboard a couple of times. A 17-play drive that saw Vinton touch the ball on 12 of those plays came up short following three straight incompletions. Vinton also ran the ball on the first eight plays of the second half, before the Berwick defense stopped him for a loss on third down, forcing a punt. Finally, after converting a third-and-11 to keep what ended up being the game-winning drive alive, Vinton got into the secondary to set the scene for Owens.

    “I’ll tell you what, No. 28 is a tough football player, and he’s done a lot of that throughout the course of his high school career to get to here,” Grodack said. “This was a great opportunity for him, and he’s worked for this. I’m proud of him, and I’m proud of the team. I’m proud of my assistant coaches who really stepped it up and helped out tremendously to get this game won.”

    Despite struggling to consistently move the ball all night, Berwick put together its best drive of the game following the Western Wayne touchdown. Quarterback Ashton Smith connected with Billy Hanson twice on passes that totaled 22 yards. On 4th-and-1, Gavin Galutia powered his way for 15 yards to get the Bulldogs into the red zone for the first time. Facing a 4th-and-12 at the 17, Smith’s run came up a yard short, and the Wildcats declined a holding penalty on Berwick to take over on downs.

    “We just needed to be able to sustain drives,” Curry said. “We said we wanted to be able to sustain drives tonight, and it was something that we struggled with all year, we kind of relied on the big play. I think we were able to get a couple drives going. Getting down in the red zone was our Achilles’ heel, kind of been the story of our season as well. I wish we could have a couple of plays back where we could punch a couple in there, and it’s a different ballgame. Once again, we were able to put some things together, but we’ve gotta be able to finish.”

    Western Wayne tried to run the clock out by feeding the Bulldogs a heavy does of Vinton. The Wildcats did get one first down, but punted the ball back to Berwick with 1:01 left. On the very next play, Owens intercepted a pass near midfield to prevent any hopes of late-game drama, and finally put away the hard-fought win against a pesky underdog.

    “I’ll tell you what, Berwick is a heck of a good football team,” Grodack said. “You know, watching them as the season progressed, first half of the season was one team, second half of the season, Berwick really figured some things out. They’re a great team, and I’ll tell you what, you’ve not heard the last of Berwick next season. Watch out, they’re going to be a great football team.”

  • Springfield slams Strath Haven 35-14 to vault to No. 1 in District 1 Class 5A

    Springfield slams Strath Haven 35-14 to vault to No. 1 in District 1 Class 5A

    NETHER PROVIDENCE — It was football from a bygone era. It was leather helmets on grainy black-and-white celluloid, with twisted muddy noses running isos, toss sweeps and traps.

    It was brute force football.

    That’s the brand of football Springfield took from the sepia-toned pages from football past in pounding Strath Haven 35-14 on Friday night for a three-way share of the Central League title with Strath Haven and Haverford High School.

    All three teams finished 9-1.

    It marks the second-straight year Springfield owns a piece of the Central League championship, after sharing it with Strath Haven and Garnet Valley last year (there are no tiebreakers in the Central League).

    The victory on Friday night also vaulted Springfield to the No. 1 seed in the District 1 Class 5A playoffs, most likely hosting Del-Val League area rival Academy Park in the opening round next Friday. The Cougars’ triumph also marked the first time Springfield beat Strath Haven since 2019 and it snapped a six-game losing streak to the Panthers.

    It was not just the fact that the Cougars beat Strath Haven as much as how they won.

    If the Cougars are as physically dominant as they were over a very good Strath Haven team, they will be a tough out for anyone in the PIAA District 1 Class 5A playoffs.

    Strath Haven picked up 241 yards of total offense though that figure is a little deceiving. The Panthers produced 140 yards from scrimmage and four first downs on their first two drives to produce a 14-7 lead.

    From there, the Springfield defense, led by senior linebacker Nate Romano, the heart and soul of the team, and defensive front of nose guard Jahmeer Harlem, tackles Gary Thomas and Landon Feldman, and ends Mike Francks and Jamie Stevenson, held the vaunted Strath Haven offense to 76 yards and a mere two first downs the rest of the game.

    The offense, behind center Ryan Benjamin, guards Zac Plank and Feldman, and tackles Dom Stewart and Alex McGinnis, smashed the Panthers’ defense for 28 unanswered points and 346 yards of total offense—with 199 on the ground.

    The Cougars got a little something seemingly from everyone. It was quarterback Jackson Kennedy throwing for an efficient 9-of-12 for 147 yards and a touchdown. It was tailback Brad Barber scoring for one touchdown and passing for another. It was receiver Chris Dolan opening the second half with a 73-yard kick return that set up one touchdown and receiving another. And it was Francks scoring a touchdown and coming up with a big tackle to prevent the Panthers from getting back in the game.

    Springfield did to Strath Haven what legendary Panthers’ coach Kevin Clancy has been known to do to opposing teams: Grind the ball on the ground and chew up the clock. Strath Haven ran off 17 plays in the first half and just 10 and one first down in the second half.

    “It was everyone doing their jobs, executing, and we got the job done,” Romano said. “Ever since we saw this game on our schedule, we wanted this game. We circled it. After they scored on the first two drives, we didn’t change anything. We needed to keep up the energy. We saw them giving out and we kept going. We are getting better and better every day. We feed off each other’s energy and once we get going, we don’t stop.”

    Francks had a night. The 6-foot, 200-pound junior caught a four-yard touchdown pass with 11:10 left to play, which put Springfield up, 28-14. With Strath Haven still within striking distance and enough time to come back, Francks made a crucial tackle on Strath Haven tailback Shane Green for no gain on a fourth-and-six at the Panthers’ 32.

    The Cougars then proceeded to plod through the Strath Haven defense for 8 minutes, 3 seconds on a 14-play, 68-yard drive. During the series, Springfield gained 73 yards (the additional five yards tacked on from a penalty). The 14 plays were more than Strath Haven ran the entire second half.

    “I thought this game would come down to the final snap, to be honest, and we came out with a different energy in the second half,” Francks said. “I felt we started squeezing better on the defensive line and taking away their inside running game. They couldn’t do anything after that. They were done.

    “I honestly think we can sustain this kind of physical play. We have great coaching, we have a talented team. We know we can dominate any team.”

    Springfield coach Chris Britton was a little more guarded. The coach of the Cougars since 2014, he may not have seen a more dominant performance from his team like Friday night.

    “This team stays together and it is no accident coach Clancy has over 300 wins, so we know the best defense against them is a good offense,” Britton said. “We have 25 seniors and they trust each other. They have been playing together since they were kids. I’ll worry about (the district playoffs) when it comes.

    “But for now, I am very proud of my guys. We lost to Haverford and we went back to work. This is a small, tight group. They worry about each other.”

    Right now, Britton and his team may not want to hear this, but the rest of PIAA District 1 Class 5A better worry about the Springfield Cougars.

  • Springfield makes a point as District 1 5A contenders with 35-23 win over Garnet Valley

    Springfield makes a point as District 1 5A contenders with 35-23 win over Garnet Valley

    SPRINGFIELD — There was no panic. Not this time. There was no finger-pointing. No chaos. No sideline frustration that would spill out onto the field in missed assignments, or players trying to do too much that would leave them out of position.

    No, this time, the Springfield Cougars knew exactly how to handle the adversity that they were faced with on Friday night down 10-0 against visiting Garnet Valley.

    The Cougars responded by scoring 21 unanswered points in a 35-23 victory over Garnet Valley.

    The victory sets up a Central League showdown next Friday between Springfield (8-1) and Strath Haven (8-0) in what might be for the Central League title and improved seeding in the PIAA District 1 Class 5A standings.

    Entering the schedule on Saturday, Strath Haven, which will play 1-7 Lower Merion, tops District 1 Class 5A with a 176.250 ranking to Springfield’s No. 4 spot with its 167.778 points.

    The Cougars took an important step in winning the biggest comeback of their season.

    Springfield was led by explosive junior tailback Brad Barber, a national level Maryland-bound lacrosse player who scored two touchdowns and rushed for a game-high 178 yards on 19 carries.

    What gnaws at the Cougars is their 21-13 loss to Haverford two weeks ago in a game in which Springfield turned the ball over three times.

    “Our coaches do such a good job of stressing the fact that we have to stay together, and it doesn’t matter if we are up by 40, or up by one, losing by 10 or losing by 40,” Barber said. “We still do believe we should be undefeated. We beat ourselves against Haverford. Garnet Valley is a great team. We knew they were a good team. They fought, and we had to fight back. I believe this team does a very good job of reading the game.”

    Springfield coach Chris Britton had a difficult day, stuck in a no-win situation. His sons, senior middle linebacker Chase Britton, and sophomore offensive lineman Owen Britton, play for Garnet Valley. His family sat on the Garnet Valley side during the game and they all gathered afterward for a family photo.

    Chris was happy it was over—and very pleased how it worked out.

    “We talked all week how we had to play responsible football and trusting each other,” Chris said. “Our guys battled back. We knew we were going to get punched in the face. We stayed together. We have a lot of kids and a lot of weapons. We could have a lot of ‘Me’s,’ and this was definitely a rough week, facing your own kids.

    “But this game proves a lot for us. Our kids dialed this up and performed. This is a team that is very selfless. It was a rough week. I’m happy it’s over. I don’t even think I want to bring it up (with his sons). I just want to go to the next game.”

    The next game looked like it might not have had any meaning for Springfield by the way the Cougars started. Garnet Valley quarterback Luke O’Donoghue took the second play of the game for 70 yards, setting up a Michael Medici 24-yard field goal.

    On the Jags’ second possession, they drove right back down the field for a 10-0 lead, when O’Donoghue hit Luke Vaughn swinging out of the backfield for a 21-yard score. With 2:59 left in the first, Springfield was two scores down.

    The Cougars answered by scoring on four of their next five possessions, with Barber doing most of the damage.

    “I think tonight it was a mindset, (Springfield) came prepared and locked in, and on our side, we did not execute the way we usually do,” Jags’ coach Eric Van Wyk said. “There were some things we did right, but as an entire, collective group, the energy wasn’t there and the overall focus I don’t think was there. The challenge this week coming will be to tell the guys to their jobs. That’s the biggest thing.”

    For Springfield, the Cougars are in a position to do some damage in the District 1 playoffs. They can attack a defense in a variety of ways and they showed they could bounce back from games that look hopeless early on.

    “Our defense stayed together and this was definitely a confidence boost to win a game like this,” Cougars’ junior defensive back Luke Valerio, who is bound for Penn State for lacrosse and who made several key defensive plays. “We need to stay level-headed going into the Strath Haven game. We do have an identity. We showed fight being down early. We had to learn from the Haverford loss and I think we obviously have.”

  • Mount Carmel Area beats Milton Area 48-28

    Mount Carmel Area beats Milton Area 48-28

    MILTON-Mount Carmel had a bit of an uneven performance in a 48-28 win over Milton on Friday. There was plenty of good that featured big production by Cooper Karycki and Chase Balichik. However, silly penalties, breakdowns on kickoff coverage and communication issues were mixed in, which took a little bit away from a victory that wasn’t quite as easy as the Red Tornadoes had hoped for.

    “Well, kind of just like what I told them (in the postgame meeting), between the lines I thought we did well,” Mount Carmel coach John Darrah said. “I thought we ran the ball well, we tackled well, we did some good things, but the sloppiness – we’ve got to fix it. We’re a senior team that has to learn from our mistakes, and we can’t play sloppy football like that.”

    Things started out well enough for Mount Carmel. The Red Tornadoes reached the end zone on their first two drives. Karycki scored the first of his three touchdowns, and Chase Balichik won a one-on-one battle in the end zone on a 28-yard touchdown pass from Gavin Marshalek to give Mount Carmel a quick 14-0 lead. That’s when things started to get a little dicey.

    Milton (3-6) got some life when Monte Fisher broke the second of his two long kickoff returns. The first one resulted in a blocked field goal after a drive stalled, but the next one gave the Black Panthers another short field, and fittingly, Fisher caught a 38-yard touchdown pass from Izayah Minium to cut the lead in the half. The Black Panthers would tie the game following a 3-yard quarterback sneak by Minium. On the ensuing kickoff, a brief scuffle broke out, and Mount Carmel was whistled for two personal fouls, while luckily avoiding any ejections.

    “We’ve just got to execute,” Darrah said of the kickoff coverage. “I mean, it’s something we go over all the time. We’re not executing what we’re supposed to, so we just have to execute better on that. It’s definitely a priority.”

    Mount Carmel (7-2) quickly righted the ship with a couple of scores before halftime to once again seize control. Karycki hit pay dirt on a short touchdown run, and Jon Morgante provided the Red Tornadoes with a big special tams play of their own when he returned a punt 68 yards for a touchdown with 1:29 left in the first half. It was the third punt taken to the house in the last two weeks, and the second by Morgante.

    “I felt like besides those kick returns, the defense was playing pretty good,” Darrah said. “We gave up two big plays, kind of jump ball things. Otherwise, we weren’t giving up too much. I was confident we were going to get it rolling, but again, we’ve got to clean stuff up.”

    In the third quarter, Mount Carmel put together a 12-play, 80-yard drive that was helped by an offsides penalty on fourth down. Marshalek threw a perfect pass to Balichik in the front-right corner of the end zone for a 33-yard touchdown pass which extended the lead to 34-14. Balichik finished with five catches for 89 yards and two touchdowns. He also had two interceptions on defense and a potential pick-six that was nullified by a roughing the passer penalty.

    “I thought Chase probably had the game of his life up to that point,” Darrah said. “He had the one interception that unfortunately got called back too, but he just made tons of plays all night.”

    In the fourth quarter, Fisher caught his second touchdown pass of the night from 14 yards out that temporarily made things interesting. Fisher had a game-high 143 yards receiving on eight catches. On the next two Mount Carmel series, Michael Kimsal scored on a 2-yard run, and Karycki capped off his 115-yard night by crossing the goal line with a 2-yard run of his own after he scampered 41 yards on the previous play to put things out of reach.

    “Cooper did a really nice job running the ball,” Darrah said. “I thought he made a couple of really nice bounces where he got to the second level and was able to kind of get around the edge and get around everybody. I thought he had a really good game.

    The win sets up one of the most-anticipated Coal Bucket games in decades for Week 10. Shamokin enters the game seeking its first victory over Mount Carmel since 1995, and its first undefeated regular season since 1991. Needless to say, it will be quite the atmosphere at The Silver Bowl for an intense rivalry game.

    “Shamokin week starts now,” Darrah said. “Definitely something we’ve been looking forward to, and we’ll be ready to roll next Friday.”

  • Mount Carmel Area dominate first half, cruise to 49-20 win over Central Mountain

    Mount Carmel Area dominate first half, cruise to 49-20 win over Central Mountain

    MOUNT CARMEL-There were plenty of touchdowns to go around for Mount Carmel in a 49-20 win over Central Mountain on Senior Night. Seven different Red Tornadoes crossed the goal line, including two on punt returns, as Mount Carmel quickly and efficiently spread the wealth throughout the early part of the game. Central Mountain did score three times in the second half against reserves, but 301 yards of offense in a dominant first-half performance provided more than enough cushion for the Red Tornadoes to rest their starters.

    “I thought we did a good job,” Mount Carmel coach John Darrah said. “It was a good Senior Night. We had all those different guys score touchdowns, so I was really happy with those guys, and all the work they put in during their career. Obviously, we wanted to play a little bit better in the second half with our young guys, but they definitely got some valuable experience against their older guys.”

    Mount Carmel (6-2) struck on the opening play from scrimmage after Cooper Karycki had a touchdown nullfied by a penalty flag on the opening kickoff. Gavin Marshalek found Al Bailey wide open, and the senior fullback did the rest by outrunning the secondary for an 87-yard touchdown reception just 25 seconds into the game. Luke Blessing, another of the six seniors who found the end zone, scored on a 1-yard run to cap off the second possession. After suffering a knee injury in the opener against North Schuylkill, Blessing made the most of his five carries that included three runs of 12 yards or longer.

    “We pretty much accomplished our goal,” Darrah said. “We wanted to get Luke a couple touches, get him out of here healthy, and we did that. I thought he looked good. He looked like himself running around, so I’m definitely excited and happy for him on Senior Night to get a touchdown.”

    Morgante picked up a rolling punt on the far sideline, then worked his way back across the field, got a great block, and had an escort to the end zone on a 64-yard punt return with 3:25 left in the opening quarter. Midway through the second quarter, Jaylen Delaney, the only underclassman to score, contributed the second big play in the return game when he made a house call from 61 yards out that expanded the lead to 42-0.

    “Special teams was definitely electric,” Darrah said. “We had the one called back as well on the opening kickoff, so we’ve definitely got a lot of athletes, it was all different guys making plays. That is definitely a weapon for us.”

    The ground game was relied upon heavily last week in a near-miss at Danville, and Friday night it was the air attack that was let loose a little bit. Marshalek completed 5-of-9 passes for 180 yards, and found Chase Balichik for a 26-yard touchdown pass on a play that saw Balichik win a one-on-one battle in the end zone. Delaney also chipped in with 58 yards on two catches.

    “All our guys are playmakers,” Marshalek said. “We could really just do anything we want with the ball, and passing the ball, we were picking up huge yards every time. We just kept using it, and it worked out for us in the first half.”

    Central Mountain (0-8) offered little resistance defensively. Matthew Balichik closed out the first-half onslaught by scoring on a 15-yard run shortly after he took over for Marshalek at quarterback. The victory currently keeps Mount Carmel as the No. 3 seed in what will very likely be a six-team District 4 Class 3A playoff field. A winnable road trip to Milton is what lies ahead next week, before one of the most anticipated Coal Bucket games in at least a decade is on the horizon Week 10 against Shamokin.

    “Yeah, I’m definitely happy with how we’ve been playing,” Marshalek said. “We’re picking it up every single week. We’re getting better and better every week as a team, and it has definitely shown since Week 1 for sure.”

  • Haverford High Knocks Off Springfield-Delco, 21-13

    Haverford High Knocks Off Springfield-Delco, 21-13

    HAVERTOWN – All night the Haverford Fords used their ground game as their best shot at knocking off unbeaten Springfield-Delco. However, it was one pass and one completion that defined their Central League Saturday night showdown.

    The Fords one completion was an 86-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Adam Kilpatrick to Jimmy Fusaro with 5:48 left in the third quarter that propelled Haverford to 21-13 win over Springfield-Delco at A.G Cornog Stadium.

    “I saw them biting in on the line after the number of times we were running the ball and I wanted to try to pass over the top there,” Kilpatrick said. “Coach (Dougherty) and his staff do such a great job for preparing for times like that when we are able to complete passes like that.”

    Haverford (6-1, 4-1 – Central) finished with 212 rushing yards as a team off 47 carries but early on it seemed that the Cougars, who entered the contest ranked second just barely behind Strath Haven in PIAA District 1 5A, had their plan figured out. The Fords went three-and-out to open the game and Springfield-Delco quarterback, Jackson Kennedy, put his Cougars in front 7-0 after finding Chris Dolan for a 23-yard touchdown early in the first quarter.

    The Fords got its ground game going on its second drive and Will Hulea tied the game at seven with 3:11 left in the first quarter with a 31-yard touchdown run.

    “It starts with our kids working our tails off at practice every day to be able to be resilient and patient when we find adversity,” Haverford head coach Luke Dougherty said. “We ask them to show up every day and they show up every day.”

    The Cougars (6-1, 5-1 – Central) were in position to respond following a 56-yard kickoff return by Brian Delaney to the Haverford 17-yard line before Kennedy was intercepted by Fords defensive lineman Chase Russell after a deflection. The interception became a theme of the night for Springfield-Delco in which they missed many opportunities.
    After getting a stop, Kennedy and Dolan hooked up once again this time for a 66-yard touchdown pass that put the Cougars ahead 13-7 in the second quarter. Springfield-Delco attempted a two-point conversion following a Fords offside penalty but was stopped on a rush attempt.

    Haverford answered the call with a 14-play 65-yard drive which ended with a 1-yard run from Liam Taylor and gave the Fords their first lead of the night at 14-13 with just over a minute left in the first half. Taylor carried the ball on nine of those 14 plays which was a part of a 35-carry 136-yard effort.

    “Liam is a beast,” Dougherty said. “We give him the ball a lot because we trust him, and we trust our offensive line plus our quarterback to make the right reads. 136 yards is a grind game for him and the fact he got that knowing they were going to take it away is a testament to these guys and to Liam.”

    Even the final minute of the first half was entertaining with no points being scored. The Cougars attempted a hook-and-ladder play, but Dolan fumbled trying to exchange the ball and set Haverford up in Springfield-Delco territory. However, Delaney made a brilliant one-handed interception off a halfback pass from Taylor one play later. The Cougars moved down as far as the Fords 26-yard line before an incompletion to the end zone sailed wide on the final play of the first half.

    Haverford forced a Cougars punt to start the second half which set the stage for Kilpatrick to find Jimmy Fusaro on 3rd-and-12 that extended the lead to 21-13 in the third quarter.

    “Adam got great protection on that throw, and he waited just a second to let it fly.” Dougherty said. “Jimmy got under it and when you are backed into those 3rd-and-long situations you just have to trust the kids to make the plays.”

    Springfield-Delco marched its way into Fords territory early in the fourth quarter, but once again a turnover plagued the Cougars. Dolan caught a pass on 3rd-and-6 and appeared to have enough for a first down before fumbling the ball back at the Fords 25-yard line. The Cougars got the ball back with 6:10 left in regulation and once again made it inside Fords territory. However, Dolan had a would-be touchdown pass slip through his hands at the two-yard line and two plays later Kennedy was intercepted by Jimmy Fusaro on 4th down.

    “I passed the post off to my safety and I saw the wheel route coming in the corner of my eye,” Jimmy Fusaro said. “When the ball was in the air, I could tell it had enough hang time to where I could center myself under it and pick it off.”

    Haverford got on the back of Taylor once again and rushed him eight straight times to run out the final 5:27 of the game to preserve the win.

    The Fords win maintains their tie in the Central League standings with Garnet Valley and brings them within a half game of the Cougars. Haverford has little time to celebrate as they host Ridley on Thursday night, who sits just a half game back of them. Springfield-Delco also plays this upcoming Thursday and will take on Radnor.

    “We have a good football team, and we have a brutal schedule,” Dougherty said. “Turning around and playing Ridley on Thursday night is no small task since they are a great football team. This is a strong league, and I am excited to see what our kids can do going forward.”

  • Berwick Area shuts out Nanticoke 41-0

    Berwick Area shuts out Nanticoke 41-0

    Berwick and Nanticoke take a knee in memory of coach Scott Dennis on the opening play

    BERWICK — Berwick’s Ty Wilkerson was the fastest player on Crispin Field on Friday night, but it was his patience and vision which set up his first of two long touchdown runs against Nanticoke. And when his offensive line opened up an alley for the junior, that’s when he let his 4.4-second speed kick in to outrun everybody to the end zone.

    Wilkerson is still getting the feel for running out of Berwick’s backfield, but at times the explosive Wilkerson looks like he’s been there his entire life. A week after Bulldogs coach CJ Curry said he has to find more ways to get the ball in Wilkerson’s hands, Wilkerson ran for a pair of touchdowns and caught another as the Bulldogs beat Nanticoke, 41-0.

    On a night where the two teams honored coach Scott Dennis, who passed away in August before his first game as Nanticoke’s head coach, the Bulldogs honored the former freshman coach with its first shutout in 755 days. And Berwick complemented that defensive performance with an offensive explosion of more than 400 yards of offense.

    “Coach Dennis was my freshman coach (at Berwick) and he helped me fall in love with the game,” Berwick coach CJ Curry said. “I have so much respect for him and I love his family. We could feel his spirit on the field tonight.”

    But as good as the Berwick defense was in allowing just one first down and only 40 yards of offense, it was Wilkerson who set off the figurative fireworks on the field, and the literal fireworks which celebrated all three of his touchdowns. Running out of the Wildcat formation, Wilkerson took his first carry of the night 37 yards for a touchdown.

    Wilkerson was patient in stringing the run out wide before exploding through a running lane to the end zone, like a sports car dropping into gear and taking off. Less than 8 minutes later, he hit an almost carbon copy of his first touchdown, this time from 70 yards, to put Berwick up 14-0 in the first quarter.

    “We know we have to run the ball,” Wilkerson said. “It’s just about good vision and my team blocking for me. I was able to see it, we hit it, and we got a touchdown.”

    Wilkerson has found his footing running consistently out of the backfield over the last three games. Coincidentally or not, as Wilkerson has taken off out of the backfield, the Bulldogs have gone 2-1. He ran for 165 yards and three touchdowns in a win over Hanover three weeks ago. Last week against a tough Wyoming Area team, Wilkerson gained 88 yards and a touchdown. And before the first quarter was over last night, Wilkerson had already eclipsed the 100-yard mark before finishing with 182 yards and a pair of rushing touchdowns.

    Curry had Wilkerson running out of the Wildcat, but also mixing in some read option plays with Gavin Galutia (10 carries, 74 yards), who returned from injury.

    “He’s getting more comfortable back there each week,” Curry said. “Any time you give him the ball, he’s got a shot to score. He’s got 4.4 speed and great vision. He turns on those jets fast, but he has to see it develop like he did on that first one.”

    The ability to pick up big yards early in the game seemed to suck in Nanticoke’s defense to the line of scrimmage. Senior wide-receiver-turned-quarterback Billy Hanson was able to use that against the Trojan. A beautiful play-action pass left Skylar Nevel wide open in the end zone, and Hanson dropped it in his bread basket for a 28-yard touchdown pass.

    On the ensuing play after Berwick recovered a muffed pooch kickoff, Hanson threw a high pass into the end zone which senior Julian Howie jumped over a defender to catch for a 26-yard touchdown. The two scored came just 9 seconds apart and pushed Berwick’s lead to 28-0.

    The Bulldogs invoked the mercy rule when Hanson hit Wilkerson on a bubble screen and Wilkerson ran through a couple defenders for an 11-yard touchdown pass with only 20 seconds left in the half. Hanson, who moved to quarterback in Week 4 to help jumpstart the Berwick offense, completed 5 of 9 passes for 123 yards and a trio of scores. Both the yardage and touchdowns were season highs for Hanson.

    “He consistently gets better every week,” Curry said. “Billy’s not a pocket passer, but he’s trying to develop and do everything he can every week to make those throws. He was able to throw a couple touchdowns and get some confidence. He’s a grinder and he loves to compete. It’s been great seeing him improve every week.”

  • Kellum’s Four-Touchdown Performance leads Wyoming Area over Berwick Area 42-20

    Kellum’s Four-Touchdown Performance leads Wyoming Area over Berwick Area 42-20

    WEST PITTSTON — Berwick linebacker Rocco Romeo ran into the Wyoming Area backfield untouched on the second snap of the second half Friday night. He had Warriors running back Lidge Kellum dead to rights.

    Kellum cut and ran through Romeo’s tackle on the toss sweep. And then he met a pack of Bulldog tacklers at the line of scrimmage, Kellum ran through them, too. Kellum was finally brought to the ground after a 5-yard gain which had no business being a positive yardage play.

    You can point to Kellum’s 42-yard touchdown run Friday night as a sign of his explosiveness as a runner. But it was that innocuous 5-yarder at the start of the third quarter at Jake Sobeski Stadium which set a tone for the Warriors, who led Berwick by just eight points at that moment. It was the physicality with which Kellum ran the football which has allowed the Warriors to not skip a beat in their run game despite graduating 1,800-yard back Aaron Crossley.

    Kellum ran for 225 yards and four touchdowns last night as Wyoming Area posted a 42-20 win on Berwick. Kellum eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark for the season Friday and has run for at least 100 yards in each of his last five games.

    “He’s an explosive runner,” Wyoming Area coach Randy Spencer said. “He’s a glider in terms of having legitimate breakaway speed. But he’s also turned into a strong runner.”

    A year ago, Kellum was an as-needed option in the Warriors’ backfield as Crossley took on the bulk of the offense’s carries before heading off to Lehigh to play running back. Kellum shined in some blowout wins, eclipsing 100 yards against both Holy Redeemer and Lake-Lehman. But he also showed there was some big play potential as he averaged better than 12 yards a carry on his 47 totes.

    He’s returned for his senior season as the featured back in one of the Wyoming Valley Conference’s best offenses. And Kellum is a big part of why the Warriors have had so much success. He ran for more than 300 yards in a win over returning state finalist Dallas. He had more than 150 yards even in a loss to undefeated Western Wayne.

    And when the game got hairy last night, Spencer and the offense turned to the 170-pounder and asked him to run around and through a Berwick defense which was spending ample time in the Berwick backfield. Kellum carried on all 10 plays of 63-yard drive which allowed Wyoming Area to take a 14-6 lead into halftime.

    Kellum carried on all six plays of a 55-yard touchdown drive to start the second half. His 42-yard scoring run 4 1/2 minutes later showcased how quickly he can gash a defense. And with a comfortable lead, Kellum’s night was done.

    At the point of his 42-yard scoring run, Kellum was averaging 9 yards per carry. The rest of the Warriors offense was average 1.57 yards per play when someone had the ball in their hands.

    “As he’s played this season he’s built a lot of competitive confidence, not just in his ability, but in his running physicality,” Spencer said. “And because of that he’s perceived as getting stronger and stronger.”

    Wyoming Area (5-1) scored 21 points to break open a one-score halftime game against Berwick (1-5). It’s a problem the Bulldogs have had for much of this difficult season.

    “It seems like the tale of the tape for us has been the third quarter,” first-year coach CJ Curry said. “There’s just something about the third quarter that we can’t keep the momentum going. But at 14-6 at halftime I thought we were right in the mix and we were playing well.”

    And they were. Berwick recovered a Wyoming Area fumble in the first half and forced a midfield punt. And running back Ty Wilkerson put the Dawgs on the board when he scampered 53 yards on a sweep to the left to cut the initial Warriors lead to 7-6.

    Wilkerson had 80 rushing yards at halftime but finished with just 88 after the Warriors made some second-half adjustments.

    “They’ve got the fastest runner in the conference in Wilkerson and he got one on us,” Spencer said. “That was a matter of them shifting from one formation to another and us needing to adjust, and a couple guys just didn’t get there in time. And someone with that athletic ability and speed is going to make you pay.”

    “He’s unbelievable,” Curry said. “Get the ball in his hands and let him get to work. He was a broken tackle away a couple of times. Ty’s awesome and we’ve been finding ways to get him the ball.”

  • Mount Carmel Area pulls away from Montoursville in 2nd half

    Mount Carmel Area pulls away from Montoursville in 2nd half

    MONTOURSVILLE- Coming off back-to-back one-point victories, it was logical to wonder how Mount Carmel would respond against a dangerous Montoursville team. As it turned out, the Red Tornadoes had plenty left in the tank from both a physical and emotional standpoint. The big-play combination of Gavin Marshalek and Jaylen Delaney struck numerous times, which was complemented by Mount Carmel playing shutdown defense in the second half. In the end, Mount Carmel was able to pull away, and walk out of Memorial Stadium with a satisfying 41-17 win.

    “I thought we played well,” Mount Carmel coach John Darrah said. “I really think the difference in tonight’s game – it felt a little bit closer than the score was, but we created a lot of turnovers. That’s something we kind of been lacking. We’re usually pretty good with that. We’ve been lacking a little bit this year, so it was great to see. Hopefully that becomes contagious, but I think that was the difference in the game.”

    Indeed, the Red Tornadoes created four turnovers which led to 10 points, but Delaney had a fantastic night. The sophomore receiver continues to impress, as he keeps gaining chemistry with Marshalek. Delaney caught eight passes for 183 yards and three touchdowns. He also chipped in with two carries, one of which went for an 11-yard touchdown late in the first quarter to give Mount Carmel a 7-3 lead.

    “I mean, he’s a great player,” Darrah said of Delaney. “If we give Gavin time, Gavin can deliver the ball on those strikes, so hats off to them. I think we did a nice job, and I still think we can get better.”

    Mount Carmel (4-1) hit the daily double on the last possession of the first half and the opening possession of the second half. A perfectly-executed tunnel screen to Delaney on 4th-and-4 went for a 23-yard touchdown with 18 seconds left before halftime. On the first play of the third quarter, Delaney took a quick hitch from Marshalek, gained a head of steam, and outran the defense down the right sideline for an 81-yard touchdown that temporarily gave Mount Carmel a two-touchdown lead. Marshalek completed 13-of-18 passes for 216 yards and three scores, with all of them going to Delaney.

    “It’s just carrying out assignments, doing little things, and I told the team that’s where little things catch up to you against a good team,” Montoursville coach Joe Hanna said. “They make you pay when you’re not aligned right or doing things the right way.”

    Montoursville (3-2) used a big play on special teams to immediately slice the lead in half. Michael Reeder returned a kickoff 89 yards for a touchdown to match Delaney’s big play. It was the only hiccup on special teams for Mount Carmel on an otherwise excellent night. The kick coverage units were solid, and Jon Morgante recovered a fumbled punt which was cashed in after Marshalek delivered an absolute perfect throw to Delaney for a 49-yard touchdown pass. Robert Schoppy continued to be an important weapon in the the kicking game, as he connected on both of his field goal attempts from 20 and 30 yards respectively.

    “Bobby did a great job,” Darrah said. “That was a long field (from 30 yards). He made all of his extra points. It was a tight game, I thought he did a great job. We can’t give up that kick return. We gave them some life with that kick return, but we always try to talk about point differential on special teams. We’ve got to win the point differential, and we did that in a couple places.”

    The Red Tornadoes did a lot of good things defensively against Southern Columbia last week, and their play on that side of the ball picked up as the game went on. Montoursville was limited to just four first downs and 53 yards after halftime. Morgante and Chase Balichik came away with second-half interceptions, and the Warriors’ run game was held in check.

    “We were very concerned about their heavy pro-I sets, and I think we did a really, really good job on them,” Darrah said. “We struggled a little bit in some of their spread sets. So, at halftime we cleaned that stuff up. We were having a little bit of trouble getting to the quarterback on the sprint out, so we did a couple different things. I thought we cleaned that up in the second half, and then created some turnovers.”

  • South Williamsport holds off Wyalusing rally for 21-19 win

    South Williamsport holds off Wyalusing rally for 21-19 win

    WYALUSING – Even though both South Williamsport and Wyalusing still have half of their seasons still to come following Thursday night’s matchup and will still largely hold their postseason fate in their own hands either way, Thursday night’s game was an important one nonetheless in what is shaping up to a very competitive race for the eight playoff spots in District 4 Class 2A.

    South Williamsport, which moved up to 2A from A last year, entered Thursday in ninth place and out of the playoff picture after an uncharacteristic 1-3 start to its season. Wyalusing, which started 3-0 before dropping its first game of the year to Montgomery last week, sat in seventh place despite the 3-1 record.

    The separation between the two teams on the field on Thursday ended up being even smaller than their separation in the playoff standings, and in the end, South Williamsport came away as the team that gave itself a boost as the Mounties hung on for a narrow 21-19 win over the Rams, a week after dropping a one-point game to Milton.

    “It’s great to get on the other side of the scoreboard because last week was the exact opposite,” said South coach Chris Eiswerth. “It was kind of like Deja vu, but it was really gratifying. We’re playing six or seven freshmen right now on both sides of the ball. It’s been very physical this year, opening up with Athens – big school that’s having a great year, then a tremendous program in Canton, then Troy, one of the top teams in the state in AA, then Milton 4A, and then we come up here to play a team that’s really on a high, so to be where we’re at right now, we’re really excited.”

    The game wasn’t decided until Jacob Girven’s 40-yard field goal attempt with :05 left in the game came up short for Wyalusing, sealing the win for South Williamsport.

    “Jacob can hit from 40, he’s done it many times in practice, so we had confidence in him. He just got under it and shorted it a little bit, and that’s a lot of pressure on a kid in that situation,” said Wyalusing coach Rich Rogers.

    The Rams were forced to settle for a long field goal attempt after committing 20 yards of penalties – all of the pre-snap variety – on their final drive. They were able to overcome the first two, but not the second two, which came on back-to-back pre snaps and turned a 1st-and-10 from the South 25 into a 1st-and-20 from the 35.

    Those four penalties for 20 yards were just a small sample of the 12 penalties for 75 yards that hampered Wyalusing throughout the game. Of those, 10 were pre-snap penalties either for false starts, illegal formations, or offside in which a lineman lined up incorrectly. Those miscues, which led to the Rams getting further behind the down markers on several occasions, were the biggest difference in a game in which Wyalusing totaled more yards than South, 321-244.

    “We are an offense where you can’t have minus-five, and minus 10, definitely not – that’s the end of the drive. It doesn’t matter which down,” said Rogers. “If we’re not ready, then it’s on me to correct it moving forward. I told the kids we had everything we needed tonight for victory. We had effort, we had the comeback, we had the right attitude. It was just the mistakes that killed us for the second week in a row.”

    While it was a nail biter for South, the Mounties never trailed. South took a 7-0 lead near the end of the first quarter. After taking over at its own 42 after stopping the Rams on downs, a big 27-yard run by Cade Lusk flipped the field, and give plays later, Lusk found the end zone from five yards out. That drive was the beginning of a big night for Lusk, who finished with 141 yards on 16 carries.

    The Mounties then took advantage of Wyalusing’s only turnover of the game to make it a two-score game early in the second. South recovered a Ram fumble at the Wyalusing 35 with 1:40 left in the first. On a 4th-and-6 play, the Mounties were the beneficiary of an obvious pass interference call to extend the drive, and then quarterback Tadd Lusk later capped the drive with a 10-yard touchdown run on a naked bootleg.

    The Rams would answer back on their ensuing possession, however, as Ayden Hunsinger burst loose up the middle for a 65-yard touchdown on the second play of the drive to cut South’s lead in half, 14-7.

    With Wyalusing’s other primary running back, Dylan Johns, out due to injury, Hunsinger saw the majority of the carries on the night for the Rams and answered the bell big-time, running for 250 yards on 26 carries and scoring all three of Wyalusing’s touchdowns.

    With South driving down to inside the 10 and on the doorstep of scoring again on its subsequent drive, Ethan Vanderpool intercepted a Lusk pass and returned it to the Wyalusing 31 at the 5:10 mark of the second quarter.

    The Rams then put together a nine-play, 69-yard drive capped by Hunsinger’s eight-yard touchdown run. But a pre-snap penalty on the PAT pushed the Rams back five yards and the kick was blocked, maintaining a slim one-point lead for South going into halftime.

    “I said at one point on the sideline, I feel like we don’t know how to punch, we only know how to counterpunch,” said Rogers. “Why do we need to go down 14-0 before we start playing, but it was mostly mistakes. Offensive line not lining up correctly, jumping early.”

    South would extend that once again to 21-13 on its first drive of the second half. After taking over near midfield following a Wyalusing punt, the Mounties went 51 yards in six plays, capped by Eli White’s 29-yard touchdown run with 4:55 to play in the third quarter.

    The Mounties would only manage one more first down the rest of the game and were forced to punt on their next two possessions. Wyalusing took advantage as Hunsinger found the end zone for the third time on a 31-yard run to cut the deficit to two with 8:14 remaining, but Hunsinger was kept out of the end zone on the attempted two-point conversion.

    MOUNTAIN TOP — On a night where he ran for more than 100 yards and scored a pair of touchdowns, the biggest play Western Wayne’s Josh Vinton made Friday came when he didn’t have the football in his hands.

    The Wildcats’ senior ran from his own end zone toward Crestwood ballcarrier Jaden Shedlock as the quarterback was wrapped up at the 1-yard line. With Shedlock falling forward but not yet down, Vinton delivered a hard, clean hit which kept Shedlock from getting into the end zone.

    The fourth-down hit left the Comets with a scoreless first half trailing by a couple touchdowns. The momentum Crestwood had gained on the nine-play, 62-yard drive was washed away because it didn’t pick up that 63rd yard.

    Crestwood didn’t threaten to score again until the game’s result was in hand. Western Wayne moved to 4-0 for the first time since 2019 with a 21-0 victory at Crestwood Stadium.

    “That was a momentum-killer for sure,” Crestwood coach Ryan Arcangeli said. “Give them credit. That’s what good teams do.”

    Vinton prepared all offseason for a moment like that goalline collision, Wildcats coach Shane Grodack said. He’s not just a two-way player, but a three-way player who is contributing on offense, defense and special teams.

    Vinton, who is averaging more than 20 carries a game through four weeks, had 29 more last night for 140 yards and a touchdown. He also caught a screen pass for a 55-yard touchdown. And a week after recording a fourth-quarter pick-six, he came up with another stellar defensive play.

    “There are few kids I’ve seen in my years of coaching who worked as hard as he did in the offseason to mentally and physically prepare himself for this season,” Grodack said. “There’s times we’ll pull him out of the game and give him a blow, but in a game like this that’s this tight, we have to have our 11 best on the field.”

    Believe it or not, despite the final numbers, Crestwood’s defense did quite the admirable job against Vinton last night. More than half of his 140 rushing yards came on Western Wayne’s first scoring drive after a Sean Owens interception.

    Vinton carried eight times in a 10-play drive following Owens’ interception, and he accounted for 78 of the 84 yards, including the final 19 to put the Wildcats up 7-0.

    But after that possession in which Vinton averaged 9.75 yards a carry, the Comets held him to just 2.95 yards per carry over his final 21 totes.

    “Hat’s off to Crestwood. They made some goof plays and they played good defense,” Grodack said. “They came to hit. They stymied a couple drives.

    “We had grit. It was nothing to do with a lack of grit,” Arcangeli said. “(Vinton) is exceptional and I thought we did as good a job as we could do between the tackles on that guy.”

    In fact, on the next series when Western Wayne got into a third-and-long situation, they still went to Vinton, but in a much different manner. The Wildcats rolled quarterback John Pyatt to his left before throwing a screen back to the right. Vinton caught the pass with a convoy of offensive linemen in front of him. He needed to make just one cut at about the Crestwood 20-yard line to finish off a 55-yard catch-and-run which put the Wildcats up 14-0.

    “We made an adjustment to try and stop the rollout, and it’s just a great adjustment from Western Wayne,” Arcangeli said. “That’s on (the coaches), not the kids. The kids played it aggressively, and we have to do a better job of telling the kids on the back side to stay home.”

    That 14 point lead was more than enough for Western Wayne as the Wildcats turned away Crestwood’s offense multiple times. Despite running for 239 yards as a team, Crestwood was turned away on downs at the Western Wayne 36-yard line when it was stopped on fourth-and-1 early in the second quarter. Some 6 minutes later, Vinton kept Shedlock from falling into the end zone.

    “Any time you have a goalline stop in high school football, it’s critical,” Grodack said. “We got ourselves in position and we had to rise up and do it. Our defense is playing outstanding.”

    Even with the game having been decided late in the fourth quarter, Owens made a brilliant tackle in the backfield on fourth-and-goal from the Wildcats 6-yard line to all but end the game.

    “We’re not trusting the call all the time (in the red zone),” Arcangeli said. “It’s a characteristic of young kids in certain positions. We’ll block two plays good, then we block one really bad. It’s inconsistency over the base of our offense and we have to get better with that.”

  • Danville trio leads team to win over Montoursville 44-20

    Danville trio leads team to win over Montoursville 44-20

    DANVILLE – Facing adversity for the first time this season, Danville certainly rose to the occasion in the second half against Montoursville. Starting the third quarter with just a one-point lead, the Ironmen put on an offensive clinic after halftime. Five times Danville had the ball, and all five times they reached the end zone, several times overcoming unfavorable down-and-distance situations. Led by 311 yards and three touchdown passes from Madden Patrick, the Ironmen pulled away in the fourth quarter for a 44-20 win.

    “I believe we’re defined by how we handle adversity,” Patrick said. “I mean, we just did that. It didn’t go our way in the first half. We weren’t playing our game, but in the locker room, I just told everybody we’re a team. Everybody has to do a job for us to be good.”

    Danville (3-0) struggled in the first half against a pesky Montoursville defense that put pressure on Patrick. An intentional grounding call, followed by an interception, resulted in Patrick being taken out of the game for what appeared to be non-injury reasons. Cole Duffy took over at quarterback for four series, and the Ironmen scored on a Bo Sheptock 13-yard run to take a 9-6 lead, but also gave up a safety after a running play was blown up in the end zone.

    On the first possession of the second half, Danville had a drive kept alive on what looked to be a phantom late hit call. On fourth-and-goal, Sheptock crossed the goal line from two yards out to give the Ironmen a 16-8 lead with 9:09 left in the third quarter. Sheptock finished with 165 yards and three touchdowns on 23 carries. In addition to a 300-yard passer and 100-yard rusher, the Ironmen also had a 200-yard receiver in Duffy who hauled in seven balls from Patrick.

    “We’re loaded with playmakers,” Patrick said. “We’re dangerous. We’ve gotta continue to get healthy, dive deep in the film, and just continue to do little things.”

    Montoursville (2-1) counterpunched on two different occasions to keep things very interesting through three quarters. Jimmy Mussina threw his second touchdown pass of the night, this one to Owen Kleinman from 17 yards out that closed the gap to 16-14. After Patrick connected with Duffy on the first of his two scores, once again the Warriors answered. Christian Banks hit paydirt with a 28-yard touchdown run that pulled his team to within 23-20 entering the fourth quarter.

    “We have a lot to prove this season,” Montoursville coach Joe Hanna said. “We have a lot of kids that are just (first-time) starters or are in a new role, so I’m really happy with the effort. We’ve just got to clean some things up.”

    In the fourth quarter, the big plays really started to pile up for Danville. Patrick hit Duffy on a 39-yard pass to put the Ironmen in the red zone, and on a 2nd-and-15 play, he delivered a strike to Landon Kehoe for a 24-yard touchdown. On the last two drives, Duffy finished off his big night in style thanks to a 76-yard touchdown reception to overcome a 3rd-and-15 situation, and Sheptock also went out with a bang by making a house call from 69 yards out to complete the scoring.

    “Just playing Ironmen football, and it came down to that,” Patrick said. “I mean, we can run the ball and we can throw that ball around, but I believe the game needs to be won up front, and the linemen did just that. I challenged them at halftime, and they came out, they completed it, and handled that challenge very well.”

    The score was not necessarily indicative of how competitively the game was played. Trailing 30-20, Montoursville had a 50-yard touchdown pass called back by a holding penalty. Despite having Danville backed up several times in the second half, the Warriors were unable to get a stop when they needed it. Four of the five scoring drives were 69 yards or longer.

    “They have some athletes that are going to make some plays,” Hanna said. “I just told them, I’m disappointed, because I think we left some plays on the field, some things we need to clean up, but I can’t fault the effort. It’s just Week 3, we’re getting there.”

  • Mount Carmel Area wins over Central Columbia 43-16 to earn the 900th win in program history

    Mount Carmel Area wins over Central Columbia 43-16 to earn the 900th win in program history

    MOUNT CARMEL-It was a history-making night at the Silver Bowl. With a 43-16 victory over Central Columbia, Mount Carmel became the first school in Pennsylvania to win its 900th game. Before the game, the Red Tornadoes unveiled their brand new video board, which included a fabulous pregame montage that relived some of the greatest moments the program has experienced. The third time proved to be the charm, as Mount Carmel finally captured its landmark achievement after a couple of losses to Southern Columbia and North Schuylkill delayed the inevitable.

    “We were running the clock out there at the end, and I forgot about it,” Mount Carmel coach John Darrah said. “It means a lot. I grew up here, I’ve been following Mount Carmel football my whole life. I was on the team for 700, I was in the stands for 600. We have such a great tradition here. It’s nice to be a part of it, and to keep the program moving forward.”

    Despite the win, it was a bit of an uneven performance for the Red Tornadoes. Mount Carmel (1-1) committed 13 penalties and had three turnovers. Yet, despite those slip-ups, the offense did pile up yards in bunches. Cooper Karycki rushed for 182 yards and two touchdowns. Jaylen Delaney had 14 receptions for 133 yards, and Michael Kimsal chipped in on special teams with an 87-yard punt return that went for a touchdown.

    “I think right now, we’re our own worst enemy,” Darrah said. “I think we played really well offensively. I felt like we were in a rhythm the whole night. We were moving the ball very well, and I think the only thing that was stopping us was ourselves. Whether it would be penalties, turnovers, or miscues, we’ve just gotta eliminate that. We’re a veteran team, we can do that. It’s just a matter of gelling and kind of using our heads a little bit.”

    Al Bailey crossed the goal line from 2 yards out to give Mount Carmel a 22-7 lead with 5:36 left before halftime. Central (1-1) had a chance to pull to within one score early in the second half. Dylan Shultz intercepted a pass and returned it 50 yards to set up the Blue Jays at the Mount Carmel 6. However, the Red Tornadoes’ defense would tighten up, and Central had to settle for a 24-yard field goal from Maguire Blake.

    “That was a great stand,” Darrah said. “I think at times our defense did good. We kind of had a couple of miscues, a couple of missed tackles, and stuff we’ve got to clean up. I think we showed flashes, and some great potential, but I think our guys understand we’ve got to keep getting better.”

    Things really weren’t wrapped up until early in the fourth quarter when Karycki scored his second touchdown of the night from 38 yards out with 11:31 left. Going exclusively to the ground game, Karycki was responsible for all six carries on the drive that totaled 79 yards. Mount Carmel rushed for 241 yards on 37 carries, and without the services of Luke Blessing, it appears as if the Red Tornadoes have some capable replacements in the backfield.

    “I was happy at the end of the game with how we ran the ball,” Darrah said. “I think that one possession after halftime, we got a little cute. We were throwing the ball well, don’t get me wrong, but I think we were getting a little cute, and we needed a touchdown to kind of pull away, and we just decided, we’re running the ball right down the field. I was happy to see our line move, and Cooper ran well. It was very good to do that.”

    Despite committing 16 penalties themselves, Central was able to hang around through three quarters. Shultz briefly tied the game in the first quarter after he caught a 10-yard touchdown pass from Parker Day. Ty Regan, who ran hard all night, matched Karycki with an 182-yard performance of his own. He broke loose on a 62-yard scoring run with just over five minutes left in the game, which was a just reward for his efforts.

    “Ty, he’s a captain, a four-year starter,” Central coach E.J. Smith said. “He was banged up a lot last year, banged up the year before. He’s staying healthy right now, and he’s just a great kid. I’m so happy for him, and I’m happy for our offensive line. I mean, he doesn’t get those yards without them blocking. Great effort, we’ve just got to fix some of the little things that are kind of biting us. I think it’s promising moving forward.”

  • Jersey Shore gets two scores late to get past Dallas

    Jersey Shore gets two scores late to get past Dallas

    DALLAS — Midway through the third quarter Friday night, Jersey Shore coach Tom Gravish kept starting quarterback Elijah Jordan on the bench for an offensive series. Opening night had been a struggle for the converted running back, and Jordan was playing on offense, defense and special teams. So Gravish gave the senior a quick break.

    Whatever happened during that quick breather, Jordan returned to the field at Mountaineer Stadium a different player. Jordan completed 13 of his final 20 passes for 156 yards, including a game-winning touchdown with 43 seconds left to give the second-ranked Bulldogs a come-from-behind 28-21 win over returning state finalist Dallas.

    Jersey Shore passed its first test in a year where it has ramped up its schedule to nothing like the Bulldogs have ever played against. Jordan and Shore were trailing 21-7 when he returned from his quick break, and the Bulldogs rallied off the final 21 points of the night to take a stunning win.

    “It says a lot about these guys,” Gravish said. “We have a lot of newcomers who showed up big time in a big time game. I’m so proud of the resiliency we showed after halftime. At 21-7 our backs were against the wall and it was time to make plays and the kids never quit. I’m sure darn proud to be part of it.”

    Shore was out of sync for the better part of 2 1/2 quarters Friday night against a Dallas team which should again battle for a District 2 championship. It ran the ball for just 19 yards on 23 carries in the first half, largely because of five sacks registered against Jordan, who was making his first career start at quarterback after being the Bulldogs’ second-leading rusher a year ago. Jordan also struggled throwing the ball, completing just 3 of 10 passes for 70 yards and an interception.
    The Bulldogs’ lone offensive spark in the first 30 minutes of the game came on an option pass from Carson Watkins to Luke Ryan. It was a trick play which gained 46 yards and finally injected some life into the Shore offense. Four plays later, Jordan floated a beautiful fade pass to Evan Snyder, who wrestled the ball away from Dallas’ Gavin Lewis for his first of two touchdown receptions last night.

    “Evan is a threat anywhere on the field,” Gravish said. “But scoring there allowed us to get back to some of the ordinary things we do extraordinarily well.”

    It still took some time to click on both sides of the ball for Shore. The defense surrendered three touchdown passes on wide receivers screens where Mountaineer receivers Lewis and Logan Geskey had open lanes to the end zone.
    Lewis’ first of two catch-and-run scores came just over 2 minutes into the game from 23 yards out. Geskey added a 40-yarder midway through the second quarter to give the Mountaineers a 14-7 lead.
    Lewis pushed that lead to 21-7 with 3:06 left in the third quarter. Shore’s defense read the screen perfectly. But Dallas quarterback Brady Zapoticky (223 yards, 3 TDs) held the ball for an extra second allowing Lewis to slip behind the defense and go 36 yards for his second touchdown.

    “They have a really nice left tackle and he gets our there and bodied up our corner,” Gravish said. “We need our corner to make that play, but we also need the safety, and a backer, and the defensive end to get out there and make a play. But (Lewis) just outraced us the whole way. He was really good for them last year, too.”

    At 21-7, Dallas was in total control. But that was also when Shore’s offense finally found its footing.
    Jordan completed 3 of 5 passes on the ensuing drive, including another 50/50 ball to Snyder which he again wrestled away from Lewis for a 16-yard touchdown with less than a minute left in the third quarter.

    “All I saw was the ball in the air and I knew I had to go get it,” Snyder said. “There was a little frustration at halftime, but as soon as we come together like we did, it feels like nothing can stop us.”

    While Shore’s defense took away any semblance of Dallas’ running game despite returning 1,000-yard back Dylan Geskey, the Bulldogs’ offense continued to build. Jordan went 5 for 5 for 42 yards to set up a Bo Sechrist 1-yard touchdown run midway through the fourth quarter to tie the game, 21-21.

    And after Dallas’ Rowan Laubach missed a 40-yard field goal attempt wide right with 2:33 to go, it felt inevitable Shore would answer. Jordan took some easy yards early to move the sticks on a couple quick hitters before picking up 27 yards on a post pattern to Snyder to get to the Dallas 31-yard line.

    After Jordan scrambled for 15 yards to give the Bulldogs first down at the Dallas 11, he threw a dart to Severino over the middle for an 11-yard scoring pass with just 43 seconds left to give Shore its first lead.

    Jordan finished his first start at quarterback with 226 passing yards and a trio of touchdowns. After being sacked five times in the first half, he wasn’t sacked at all in the second half.

    “No question, that kid can sling it,” Dallas coach Rich Mannello said. “Those receivers are good, and that quarterback is a tough-minded young man. We knew we were going to have our hands full. We hit him and he just kept getting up.”

    “We knew Elijah just needed a series. He’s on punt, he’s playing defense, and we asked him to run probably 20 times,” Gravish said. “But his elusiveness and ability to extend a play with his eyes downfield was a key for us.”

    “I have no clue what happened, but I know he came back way better,” Snyder said. “He helped us move the ball and brought us some energy.”

    It was only the first step in a long season which is going to include games with the likes of Delaware Valley, Williamsport, Hollidaysburg and Penn Wood. But it was an important first step Friday night for Shore.

    “We’ve been in these kinds of games before, but maybe not with exactly these kids,” Gravish said. “But this is the part of tradition that never graduates.”

    2024 Outlook:

    Defense: We return a majojrity of our starters on defense and add a couple of very high level defenders. Our success will depend how we’ll tackle.

    Special Team: Losing Jack Ploszay to Wake Forest leaves a big hole. We feel confident with our new kickers and punters who are ready to jump into that role.

    Luke Watson, 9 Receptions, 172 Yards, 3 TD’s

    2024 Offensive Outlook: The performance of our offensive line is the biggest key. Three of our five starters return up front and they have made great strides this offseason. We feel confident about the talent and depth at our offensive skill positions.

    2024 Defensive Outlook: We graduated several All-Catholic defenders and a tremendous amount of production on this side of the ball. It’s a youthful group without a ton of experience, so how well they gel together as a unit inside our scheme is key.

    2024 Special Teams Outlook: All-Catholic placekicker Gavin Wray is not easily replaced. We feel good about the competition at our kicker and punter spots though, and there’s a slew of guys who can make an impact in the return game.

    2024 Offensive Outlook: Our key to success starts with the offensive line. We return all five fully healthy offensive linemen from the 2023 season led by two time all league selection, Sr. Jacob Lott at offensive tackle. He will make up a core group who has vast experience on Friday night, including Finn Mahoney, Jacob Wilson, Kurt Hussong and Van Erickson. We have high expectations that this group can pave the way for both the running and passing game in 2024. We return a senior captain and three year starter, Frank Hoogerwerff at QB. Frank’s experience and leadership will be on display every week. We will be leaning on senior captain, Sebastian Binstead at one of our receiver positions. “Sebby” leads by example, has good speed and great hands. Overall, we look to take advantage of the speed and athleticism we have to put our offense in the best position for success every Friday night.

    2024 Defensive Outlook: Although we only have 4 returning starters and we will be young, we have been impressed with their athleticism, aggressive play and their understanding of our defensive philosophy. The defensive line is familiar in size to last season but with more athletic ability and linebackers we have depth where we have 8 players that all could be starters. We return captain and all league middle linebacker, Zach Sheridan to base our defense. In our secondary, we give up a little in height, but we make it up with our speed and athleticism. This is the 3rd year running this defensive system and everyone knows it very well. With our depth and knowledge we should be able to accomplish great things this season.

    2024 Special Teams Outlook: Graduating our kicker and punter, Adam Okonowicz (University of Rhode Island) will be difficult to replace. Our special teams will be schematically sound and aggressive in covering and returning. We are excited about seeing players in our program understand their role on special teams is as equally important to the success of the season as the offensive and defensive units.

    Coaches comment: Jayden has really bought in to becoming an outstanding football player. His off-season work out and work ethic is tremendous.  He has definitely set the bar high and pushes himself every day trying to reach his goals. We are going to see a much bigger, faster player than a year ago. Really excited to see what he can do with the ball in his hands this year!!

    Offense: Offensively, we return more offensive lineman than in past years. We will lean on them greatly and expect to be a balanced team in our attack.

    Defense: Defensively, we will emphasize getting as many players to the football, creating turnovers and putting our opponents into 3rd and long situations.

    Special Team: We expect our guys to make big plays on special teams whether we are returning, covering or converting on PAT’s & FG’s. Overall, we want to play complimentary football where we transition from one unit to another.

    2024 Offensive Outlook: New Offensive Coordinator Matt Burch has brought an exciting yet simple offense. With 4 returners on the offensive line, our returning starters at WR and RB, plus the addition of QB Jack Herter and several new skill players we are excited about, we have the ability to be an explosive offensive team. The key is for us to limit mistakes and mental errors.

    2024 Defensive Outlook: Third-year Defensive Coordinator Mitch Lutte has rearranged our defense to include simpler calls and reads which will allow us to play faster. With 6 starters returning and a good amount of returners who saw significant minutes in 2023, we have a veteran defense this season. Add in some of our newcomers and we feel we have the depth to rotate players and keep them fresh, especially along the defensive line. The key for us is to create turnovers and field position advantages.

    2024 Special Teams Outlook: New Special Teams Coordinator Alex Houchin will continue to keep us in the upper half of the best special teams units in the league. With all-league return man Juan Manzano back plus most of our core special teams players from last year as well as some newcomers we feel we will be one of the best special teams units in the EPC in 2024. The key is to create field position advantages and utilize our skill and speed to create mismatches.

He started all 13 games at right tackle this past year and continuously improved week after week developing himself into one of the league’s most dominant blockers.

    Along with excelling on the field, Finn attacks the classroom with the same tenacity as he does on the field with a 3.75 GPA. He holds himself to a very high standard and serves as a tremendous leader for our program.

    Coaches Comments: Austin led our team in total tackles the past two seasons as a Sophomore (63) and Junior (62). Going into his Senior year he is looking to lead us again in that department and more. Austin is 3rd on our all-time total tackles list with 132 tackles and has a chance to become the all-time total tackles leader. Austin is a great leader for our young team and will make an impact anytime he’s on the field. He also plays Full Back and is our Kicker.

    Honors: 1st Team All Ches Mont; 1st Team All Area

    Hudl Highlights:

    Coaches comments: This past season was Daiyaan’s first year as a starter at corner. He quickly moved up our depth chart, gained the respect of opposing teams, and as the season progressed we counted on him on a weekly basis to cover the opposing team’s best receivers. He is a sure tackler, tough, and a fierce competitor. During the offseason he has been a leader by example with his consistency in the weight room. I suspect he will also contribute more to our team this year on offense as well.

    Coaches comments: Kade showed flashes of being a top-tier player during his junior season on both sides of the ball. Kade has excellent vision for a fullback and will likely get more opportunities to carry the ball this season. On defense, Kade plays downhill and takes on blocks well in the running game. The Colts will look for Kade to take the next step and assume a leadership role for his senior season.

  • Spring-Ford’s Matt Zollers chooses Missouri

    Spring-Ford’s Matt Zollers chooses Missouri

    The list of area high-level talent continued their college choices. On Saturday, St. Joe Prep linebacker Anthony Sacca selected Notre Dame as his next football destination, and on Thursday in live stream from Spring-Ford High School, Spring-Ford rising-senior quarterback Matt Zollers choose SEC Missouri over Georgia, Penn State and Pitt.

    The 6-foot-3, 205-pound quarterback threw for 37 touchdowns last season, against two interceptions, completed 182/290 (63%) for 2,917 yards, and rushed for 431 yards on 67 carries and seven touchdowns.

    “Basically, I felt most comfortable at Missouri,” said Zollers, who made his selection Thursday morning. “My No. 1 priority was finding who I connected best with, both players and the coaches, and I just felt best there. I feel like there is great stability there, and I felt there was an instant connection. Going there reinforced that. It was definitely difficult. I was going back-and-forth with my parents. It was with everyone.

    “It was pretty difficult (not choosing Penn State). It’s definitely intriguing going to college two hours away, obviously being able to come home pretty easy. I fell back on what I looked for most in a school. Missouri was my best fit.”

    The Tigers finished No. 9 in the nation with a 11-2 overall record last season and 6-2 in the rugged SEC. They had wins over four ranked opponents, including a 14-3 victory over depleted Ohio State. The victory was Missouri’s first bowl win since 2015 and the first of Coach Eliah Drinkwitz’s four-year career.



    Zollers was very impressed by Tigers’ offensive coordinator/quarterback coach Kirby Moore.

    “I don’t think Matt could have made a bad decision, and he was pretty set even a couple months ago, despite what he said, and I spoke to his parents about slowing down and with the help of his parents, he decided to do one more round (of visits),”  Rams’ coach Chad Brubaker said. “But he was set for some time on Missouri. Kirby Moore set offensive records at Fresno State and we run a fairly complicated offense, replicated what college coach’s expectations are. Matt was really about feeling most comfortable about Missouri and where they are headed.”

    Georgia seemed to be a strong consideration, and looked as if Penn State was a strong consideration, before Missouri came into the picture.

    “Matt and I never had a conversation about the order, but we did speak about when he was leaning heavily towards Missouri, what if Alabama comes calling, what if Notre Dame comes calling, and they both did. Matt remained solid with Missouri.”

    Led by Zollers, Spring-Ford finished No. 4 in PIAA District 1 Class 6A, reaching the district quarterfinals before losing to eventual District 1 champion Central Bucks South, 35-19. As a sophomore, Zollers led the Rams to the district quarters, losing to eventual District 1 champ Garnet Valley, 30-27.

    Zollers, who is considered by numerous scouting services to be among the best passers in Pennsylvania for the coming season, is on pace to break every significant Spring-Ford career school passing record his senior season.

  • Samaj Jones ends epic career by leading St. Joe’s Prep to second-straight 6A state title by plowing North Allegheny, 45-23

    Samaj Jones ends epic career by leading St. Joe’s Prep to second-straight 6A state title by plowing North Allegheny, 45-23

    Photos by Matt Topper

    MECHANICSBURG, PA — It started by accident. Samaj Jones was part of the clean-up crew, tasked with combing the field to pick up cones, and nets, and stray footballs after practice for his youth league football team. There was a ball on the far side of the field.

    So, instead of walking the ball over to his coach, Jones threw it. Jones’ coach exclaimed, “Who threw that!” Jones thought he was in trouble, before sheepishly admitting he did.

    The ball flew 40 yards. Jones was 10.

    That’s what led him to become a quarterback. That was the root of what led to St. Joe’s Prep winning its second-straight PIAA Class 6A state championship, 45-23, over District 7 champion North Allegheny Saturday night at Chapman Field at Cumberland Valley High School.

    It was the Hawks’ eighth state title, the most of any large school in the history of Pennsylvania. It was their eighth state title in the last 10 years and fifth in the last six years. In the process of continuing its legacy, St. Joe’s Prep also handed North Allegheny its first loss in a state championship game.

    The Cincinnati-bound Jones led the way, scoring three touchdowns, throwing for two, and possibly cementing his legacy as the best quarterback in Hawks’ history.

    He entered the game as the Hawks’ all-time leading yardage leader. After completing 14 of 17 for 232 yards, while rushing for 115 yards in the championship, he finishes with 7,813 career total yards and 108 career touchdowns. He ends his career with 5,725 yards passing, second only to Kyle McCord (6,887 yards and 88 touchdown passes), completing a career 356 of 560 with 64 touchdown passes.

    Two years ago, Jones walked off the field after losing to Mount Lebanon in the state title game as a sophomore with his head down embarrassed. The last two years he returned to the state championship with a vengeance, putting his personal stamp on the Hawks’ consecutive championships.

    “It’s hard to explain,” Jones said. “I’m grateful to these guys and the hard work these guys put in. Yeah, it’s a long way for a kid who threw a ball one afternoon and thought he was trouble. God put me in that situation to get where I am now, and that game (against Mount Lebanon), I’m so grateful for that game because it built so much energy.

    “Losing forced me to grow up. I had no choice. I was forced to grow up.”

    The 2023 Hawks could arguably be the greatest team in program history. They closed their season with a 13-game winning streak after opening with a 17-14 loss to national powerhouse IMG Academy. This was a team that was dominant on both sides of the ball, scoring 579 points this season, while giving up just 120. The 2023 Hawks averaged 41.3 points a game, while giving up an average of 8.5 points a game.

    They were dominant. They were suffocating on defense. They were explosive on offense.

    They impressed North Allegheny coach Art Walker, who was very classy in defeat, saying, “Not what we expected, we wanted to be in it, we wanted to fight, we wanted to battle. I’m proud of my guys not giving up. I’m proud of them continuing to fight the whole game, but we gave up some big plays. They’re good everywhere.

    “It’s a tough team to prepare for. I haven’t seen anyone run zone-read (like Jones) and pull it that late in a long time. He’s darn good at that. We had the back dead to rights, and all of a sudden, I don’t know how he got the ball out. He’s good. He’s a physical downhill runner. He’s the best runner we’ve seen. He’s a special guy.

    “It’s hard to cover everything at once. You can’t take it all away.”

    The mercy rule came when Jones scored his third rushing touchdown and topped that by finding the falling Elijah Jones in the end zone for the two-point conversion for a 45-10 Prep lead with 5:45 left in the third quarter.

    With 7:08 left in the game, Samaj got his curtain call, leaving the field the last time wearing a St. Joe’s Prep uniform.

    “I’ll remember how relentless this team was, as much as we challenged them every day,” said Hawks’ coach Tim Roken, who got a little emotional talking about this team and Samaj. “They showed up every single day to work. They went through some good adversity, especially in this senior class.

    “This isn’t easy for me. I love this group of seniors and this coaching staff. It’s not easy seeing this group go. They trusted one another, they loved one another, and they led one another. It’s the most rewarding thing for a coach to see.

    “Then you have Samaj, a young man of great character. He did a lot of growing up here. He showed up every single day with a smile on his face, the determination to lead this program, and understanding the responsibilities he has as that leader of this program. It hasn’t been easy for him, and it won’t be easy for us to watch him go.”

    Prep had the game under control by halftime. The Hawks got out to a 24-0 lead, scored on their first five possessions, and were well ahead, 37-10, by intermission—despite being flagged 10 times for 85 yards. Prep had doubled North Allegheny’s output, gaining 323 yards of total offense to the Tigers’ 161 yards, averaging 11.54 yards a play to North Allegheny’s 4.88 yards a play.

    By then, Jones had rushed for 68 yards and two touchdowns and completed 11 of 14 passes for 191 yards and two touchdowns, including an 80-yarder to Elijah Jones.

    Samaj’s second touchdown came off a great play fake, pulling the ball at the last second from Erik Sanchez, making the Tigers’ defense bite, then tearing through a gap on the right for a 41-yard score with 4:15 left.

    The Hawks started quickly, taking the opening kickoff 72 yards over 12 plays, ending with Samaj scoring by bulling through North Allegheny’s James Donaldson and Liam Flaherty, who met him at the goal line with a crunch.

    Huge plays on the opening series came in Jones’ 19-yard connection to Brandon Rehmann on a third-and-18 at the Tigers’ three. The Hawks also converted a second-and-13 on the drive, with Jones dialing up Rehmann again for 21 yards.

    As everyone was filing off the field after the game, Hawks’ offensive coordinator and offensive line coach Tom Sugden made sure he gave Samaj a long embrace.

    Sugden has had a more intimate relationship with Jones than anyone on the St. Joe’s coaching staff. He used to drive by his house and wake him up in the morning when he overslept and was constantly on him during his sophomore and junior years about time management and discipline.

    Sugden, Roken, the entire Prep community, saw a specialness in Jones that for a few years, he did not see in himself.

    That came to fruition this season.

    Saturday night was the culmination of realized expectations.

    “Samaj is special, and it would frustrate us that he didn’t see it, but our job as coaches is to bring those things out in people and we stuck with Samaj,” Sugden said. “Seeing Samaj meet his potential is one of the neat things about St. Joe’s Prep. It’s why we stay here and coach here. Samaj is living proof.”

    2023 PIAA Class 4A Championship Preview: Aliquippa (13-0) vs. Dallas (15-0)

    Chapman Field at Cumberland Valley will again be at the eye of the Pennsylvania high school football world this weekend when the state’s top 12 high school teams meet for PIAA state championships.

    No one expected this. Statewide, the anticipation was for a rematch between Aliquippa and Bishop McDevitt (Harrisburg). But something happened along the way, and that was a thrilling double-overtime Dallas’ 26-23 victory over Stone Saunders and McDevitt, snapping the Crusaders’ 26-game winning streak.

    This is Aliquippa’s 10th trip to the state finals (three as a 4A, two as a Class 3A, and five as a Class 2A). Aliquippa got here by smoking District 4 champion Selinsgrove, 52-32, in the state semifinals. The Quips won state titles in 1991, 2003, 2018 and 2021. No Aliquippa state champion has finished a season undefeated. These Quips can be the first.

    Southern Columbia Advances to Class “AA” State Championship

    HAZLETON – Southern Columbia defeated Dunmore 39-7 on Friday night to advance to the PIAA Class 2A state championship game. The Tigers showcased their depth at running back and put together a masterful first-half performance on both sides of the football while continuing to pile up lofty accomplishments. Southern (14-1)  take on Westinghouse (13-0) next Friday at Cumberland Valley High School in search of its 14th state title. In addition, the Tigers will be making their ninth consecutive appearance in the finals. They are 22-1 in state semifinal games and will be going for an unprecedented seventh consecutive gold medal.

    “Again, the line did a nice job against a big, physical front, and the backs just really running hard and turning what could be an average gain into big runs,” Southern coach Jim Roth said. “They really made it look easy early on. We were consistently hitting big runs, all three backs, and it was as good as I can recall our offense playing this year, in terms of the running game.”

    It certainly did come easy for Southern all throughout a dominant opening half. Short drives set up by good returns on special teams and defensive stops were a recurring theme, as the Tigers piled up 307 yards of total offense by halftime. The running back trio of Garrett Garcia, Louden Murphy, and Carter Madden was responsible for almost all the damage inflicted on an overmatched Dunmore defense. Murphy got things started by capping off an efficient, five-play drive that saw him cross the goal line from six yards out just over two minutes into play. Murphy finished with 81 yards on 10 carries behind a stellar offensive line, and he scored again on a 13-yard run early in the second quarter that made the score 32-0.

    “They stepped up against a very, very good defensive line,” Murphy said. “We’re outsized almost every game I feel like, but our guys have the aggressiveness that you can’t teach. That really separates us. You can’t key on anybody. You can lineup in one formation and run seven different plays. It’s a three-headed dragon in the backfield.”

    Garcia made his presence felt early as well. Of his 11 carries, seven of them went for 19 yards or longer. On his way to a 188-yard, three-touchdown night, Garcia set the tone by ripping off a 22-yard run the first time he touched the ball. He scored on a 2-yard run to complete another short march, and perhaps his best run came on a 48-yard sprint to pay dirt late in the first quarter, where he shed multiple tackles with ease on his way to the end zone. Madden did his best to make solid contributions as well. He rushed nine times for 79 yards and found his way into the scoring column with a 21-yard dash in the first quarter.

    “The line was getting off the ball, and the backs were running extremely hard,” Roth said. “We felt the last couple weeks at times, we weren’t as aggressive running the ball like they were almost a little bit tentative. They certainly weren’t tonight. They just took off with the football, and everything was just kind of a natural feel — get it and go.”

    Dunmore (12-3) finished the first half with minus-3 yards of offense on 24 plays. The run-heavy attack was forced out of its comfort zone by a defense that was physical and swarmed to the ball. Even when Domenick DeSando set up the Bucks in the red zone thanks to a long kickoff return, Southern had an answer by forcing a turnover on downs. The defense was responsible for ten rushing plays that went for no gain or negative yardage in the half.

    “Can’t say enough about the defense,” Roth said. “We felt coming in that we matched up well, because for a team to line up and run the ball at us and not have much of a passing game, we felt we were really going to match up. When you watched them on film the last couple of weeks, their line was really coming off the ball and their backs were running hard, including the quarterback. But again, our defensive front — they’ve been that way all year, and barring injury, one more time.”

    Westinghouse and Southern met last year in the state championship, where the Tigers emerged with a 37-22 victory. Roth will be in search of his 496th career win, and yet again has his team peaking at the right time. Southern has now come up big against four consecutive quality opponents, which appears to be one of the trademarks of this group.

    “The way they’ve been able to rise up in some big games, they’re an emotional bunch,” Roth said. “When they decide they want to play, the best example of that is Mount Carmel. I know in the first Mount Carmel game, we didn’t take the field with the proper attitude. In the second game, to go out and reverse the outcome so dramatically like that, it was all attitude. When they get cranked for a game, they’re just so much tougher.”

  • South Williamsport moves on to Class A Semifinals after beating Cambria Heights

    South Williamsport moves on to Class A Semifinals after beating Cambria Heights

    WILLIAMSPORT – In South Williamsport’s two losses this season, the Mounties committed a total of nine turnovers.

    Over the last two weeks, the Mounties avenged both of those losses with wins over two-time defending district champion Canton and a blowout win over Muncy in the District 4 Class A championship game last weekend to give the program its first district title since 2014.

    And on Saturday night, in the Class A state quarterfinal, the Mounties flipped the turnover script, as they were the beneficiaries of four Cambria Heights turnovers, and South turned all four of them into touchdowns as the Mounties advanced to their first PIAA semifinal since 2014 with a 33-0 shutout over the Highlanders. The Mounties will meet defending Class A state champion Steelton-Highspire next week.

    “We really battled turnovers all year so we know how important it is and we really strive to work on that and tonight we caused some and played clean,” said South Williamsport coach Chris Eiswerth. “We really had a lot of injuries around mid season and it was tough but it built a lot of character with the adversity they faced, but they worked through it and they’re different from what they were at the beginning of the year and they’re playing like that.

    “It’s exciting because we had that taste (back in 2014) and we’ve won a lot of games and done a lot of great things but the guys really committed back in January and worked hard and I think they’re seeing the fruits of their labor,” said Eiswerth.

    South asserted its dominance on the ground early on, as the Mounties received the opening kickoff and then proceeded to burn up over seven minutes on a 15-play, 69-yard drive capped by Ryan Casella’s one-yard touchdown run to go up 6-0.

    From there, it was a parade to the end zone following turnovers, as South scored on its next four possessions, with all of them coming following takeaways from the Highlanders. Cambria Heights turned the ball over on four of its first five possessions, with only the end of the half breaking up that string.

    The Highlanders put together what was a good-looking drive following South’s initial touchdown, as they drove from their own 36 to the Mountie 21-yard line, getting a nice 19-yard completion from Isaac Weiland to Stephen Nelen to set them up at the 21. But three plays later, Weiland was picked off by Dylan Scheller who returned it 54 yards all the way back to the Highlander 35.

    South then proceeded to take eight plays to go those 35 yards, and Kaiser Kistner punched it in from seven yards out, following a defensive penalty on the PAT, South went for two and converted when quarterback Tadd Lusk took a naked bootleg in to make it 14-0 at the 9:32 mark of the second quarter.

    The Mounties picked off Weiland again on Cambria Heights’ ensuing drive, with Kistner making the interception this time at the South 47. This time, South took just six plays to go 53 yards, capped by Kistner’s second touchdown run on the night from three yards out to make it 20-0. Casella picked up a pair of chunks on that drive with pickups of 16 and 14 yards to flip the field. Kistner would finish the night with a game-high 125 yards on 21 carries to go with his two touchdowns.

    On Cambria Heights’ next possession, the Highlanders started at their own 10 following a fumble on the kickoff return but still managed to get it out to their own 46 and had a fourth-and-4. They successfully executed a fake punt, as Garrett Jasper took the snap and ran it down the right sideline for a 25-yard gain all the way to the South 29 before having it punched out of his hands, and the Mounties recovered at their own 25.

    “We knew that they had some very good, very fast players – Jasper is a tremendous football player,” said Eiswerth. “They ran the toss well and got outside and we just had to contain them, but our kids took advantage of the opportunities and we finished drives, and our defense bent but didn’t break and that’s how we go about it.”

    On the first play of their ensuing drive, Kistner flipped the field again with a 43-yard run, and three plays later, Lusk hit Landyn Gephart for a 29-yard touchdown reception just before halftime to make it 27-0.

    Cambria Heights fumbled an attempted reverse handoff on its second play from scrimmage of the second half after receiving the second-half kickoff, giving South the ball at the Highlander 37-yard line. The Mounties then ran off eight straight plays, the final of which was a four-yard touchdown run by Lusk to make it 33-0 at the 7:06 mark of the third quarter.

    That would be more than enough, as Cambria Heights turned it over on downs twice and was forced to punt on its other second-half possession.

    South, which has now won 11 games for the first time since 2016, will appear in the state semifinals for the fourth time in school history, and for the first time since the Dom Bragalone-led team in 2014.

  • St. Joe Prep leans on the line to beat Lincoln, 35-0, for the District 12 6A Championship

    St. Joe Prep leans on the line to beat Lincoln, 35-0, for the District 12 6A Championship

    PHILADELPHIA, PA — It wasn’t a bad first run. There were a few areas that will be coached up, but for the first time together, the St. Joe’s Prep offensive line—the new version—looked pretty cohesive Saturday night in the PIAA District 12 Class 6A championship.

    The Hawks are on their annual December trek again. The defending PIAA Class 6A state champions are about to enter that familiar pressure-packed terrain that comes along with tournament football.

    They know, one loss and that is it—you are done.

    It’s why the Hawks are doing something amazing at this stage of the season. St. Joe’s Prep has rearranged its offensive line at the most important time of the year. Left tackle Kevin Towns, left guard John Paul Schrieber, center Lakeem Steele, right guard Christian Leonard, right tackle Shane Toolan, and tight end Denzel Felder are learning as a unit in late November and their first crash test came on Saturday in the PIAA District 12 Class 6A championship against Public League champ Lincoln.

    The Hawks won for the 10th straight time, 35-0, to advance to the PIAA Class 6A quarterfinals next Saturday against District 11’s Nazareth at Northeast High School at 1 p.m.

    If the Hawks plan on repeating, much of that will come from up front. Since junior left guard Kahul Stewart was ineligible to play in the postseason because of the transfer rules, Hawks’ coach Tim Roken moved right tackle Schrieber to left guard, between veteran stalwarts Towns and Steele, and moved tight end Toolan to right tackle, rotating with Felder.

    “This was our first time together and I thought it went well,” said Towns, who has received offers from Fordham and Bryant and is gaining attention from FBS schools like the Army, Maryland, and JMU. “A lot of it came from our preparation and (Schrieber) made a great transition. A big part coming in this week was communication. We knew the same is the same goal—pounding the ball.

    “There was a little communication glitch, but it is something correctable moving forward. We’ll go back to the basics and working with the guys and getting better to achieve our one goal and that’s to win another state championship.”

    Towns transferred into Prep himself a year ago from Archbishop Wood, and saw his future on a basketball court, following his father, Kevin Towns Sr., a star at Strath Haven. Kevin Jr.’s basketball days have been cut short, but he plans on playing for the Hawks’ basketball team this season.

    Towns and Steele have made life easier for everyone else up front because they call the line changes and come with state-title experience.

    “Going into this week, we needed to make sure (Schrieber) was set with all the calls,” said Steele, who is committed to Merrimack. “There are always bumps and bruises along the way, but I feel confident that we’ll take care of business in these couple of weeks.”

    Offensive coordinator and offensive line coach Tom Sugden and Connor Clifton handle the Hawks’ offensive line. They knew the transition was coming and prepared in advance.

    “That’s a credit to coach Roken, he knew what was coming down the line and we practiced months in moving guys around to be ready for different situations,” Sudgen said. “Losing Kahul was big. He’s going to be the best offensive lineman in the state next year. We have as many interchangeable parts where everyone is confident and comfortable if they get moved around. I liked what I saw tonight. Lincoln is a great program and they did a great job. We’re on to next week.”

    As for the game, it went into the mercy rule with 4:52 left in the third quarter when Brandon Rehmann scored on a five-yard end around. Cincinnati-bound quarterback Samaj Jones scored Prep’s first two touchdowns, and the Hawks capped off the half with a 22-yard Erik Sanchez touchdown run and an Elijah Jones’ seven-yard TD pass from Samaj Jones.

    Although Prep won handily, something needs to be mentioned about the incredible job Lincoln head coach Hakeem Cooper has done with the program. The Railsplitters won their first Philadelphia Public League championship since 1981. At times on Saturday, Lincoln gave St. Joe’s defense fits, with dual-threat senior quarterback Nayshawn Corley, playing in place of starter Gabe Smalley, who was ineligible to play due to the transfer rule, created plays from seemingly nothing. Senior Ziyyon Bredell is a special talent and a leader who intercepted a pass in the first half when the game was still competitive.

    Lincoln, under Cooper, is a program still growing. The Railsplitters’ season ends this Thanksgiving against rival Father Judge.

  • Bo Sheptock rushes for over 300 yards in playoff win over Loyalsock

    Bo Sheptock rushes for over 300 yards in playoff win over Loyalsock

    DANVILLE-It’s no secret Danville has a dangerous passing game led by the arm of Madden Patrick. On Friday night, the Ironmen proved they can also run the ball pretty well. Bo Sheptock rushed for a career-high 316 yards and four touchdowns, as Danville pulled away from Loyalsock in the fourth quarter for a 40-7 win to capture its fourth consecutive District 4 championship. Danville (12-1) will travel to face the survivor of today’s West Perry-Wyomissing game next weekend in the PIAA Class 3A state playoffs.

    “I want to first say that I wouldn’t have went anywhere without the O-line, for sure,” Sheptock said. “I feel like in past games when we pass a lot, it really opened it up for me in this game. The O-line — phenomenal game. I was able to run behind them, and read their blocks really well. It was a great game for everybody.”

    The running game got going early for Danville. Sheptock broke loose for a 48-yard run on his team’s second offensive play. Two plays later, he would cross the goal for the first time from six yards out. After Loyalsock answered with an 11-play drive of its own that saw Tyler Gee connect with Jaylen Andrews on a 24-yard touchdown pass, Sheptock went right back to work. He carried the ball seven times on Danville’s next possession, and gave the Ironmen a lead they would never relinquish, when he found the end zone on a 5-yard run early in the second quarter.

    “Our offense really stepped it up tonight with the the running attack,” Danville coach Carl Majer said. “Bo had over 300 yards rushing, that’s just awesome. One night it might be (Aaron) Johnson, one night it might be (Cameron) Kirsch. Bo excelled tonight. The line blocked very well. Madden made some nice plays, and it was just a great team win to get our fourth straight district title.”

    Loyalsock (9-4) did have some chances keep things interesting, and maybe even grab a halftime lead. Late in the first half, Gee extended the ball out inches from the goal line on a quarterback sneak. The ball was knocked out of his hands, and while Gee was over halfway to the sidelines celebrating what he thought was a touchdown, one of his teammates recovered a fumble for a loss of three yards. Two plays later on fourth down, the drive came up empty, as Kiersch intercepted a pass and returned it 55 yards.

    “They played us great,” Majer said. “Loyalsock, it was a great game for them, even though the score didn’t show that. They’re a tough, well-coached team. Our defense has been really playing hard.”

    After halftime, it was time for the Danville defense to really assert itself. The Ironmen held Loyalsock to minus-5 yards on only six plays in the third quarter. Meanwhile, Patrick threw a strike down the middle to Carter Raup for a 26-yard touchdown that extended the lead to 19-7, helping complement a running game that was owning the time of possession battle.

    “Our defense has been getting better every week,” Sheptock said. “We’ve been striving to get better every week, day in, day out. We’ve just been playing our game and doing our assignments. It was just a great team win tonight.”

    Midway through the fourth quarter is where Danville put the game away. Sheptock hit pay dirt on another 5-yard run to cap off an eight-play, 86-yard drive that was aided by a 37-yard run from Johnson. Less than a minute later, Johnson made a huge play on defense by scoring on a 55-yard interception return. Even with the game well in hand, Sheptock, who also intercepted a pass in the fourth quarter, continued to get a steady workload. He capped off his huge night by sprinting 47 yards to the house with 1:22 left to play, setting up a road trip to somewhere in District 3 over the holiday weekend.

    “You expect four quarters of hard-nosed, smash-mouth football this time of year,” Majer said. “We’ll go down and see them play (today). We’re not too shabby of a football team ourselves. We’ll see who comes out on top, we’ll start getting ready on Monday, cook Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday, and have a lot of fun with these guys.”

  • Southern Columbia Dominates Mount Carmel Area in 43-0 win

    Southern Columbia Dominates Mount Carmel Area in 43-0 win

    Louden Murphy- Southern Columbia 

    FRANKLIN TWP. – While it can be an inexact science to predict what the future holds, Southern Columbia put together a performance that resembled a team who is once again capable of playing into the second week of December. On Friday night, the Tigers were simply brilliant in a 43-0 victory over Mount Carmel. The defense pitched a shutout, forced three turnovers, and watched Isaac Carter wreak havoc all over the place. Offensively, things moved along quite nicely as well. Southern scored on its first five possessions, while Louden Murphy ran for 87 yards and three touchdowns to lead a balanced rushing attack. Troy (12-0) awaits Southern next week in the District 4 Class 2A championship game.

    “I was very confident that our defense would play well,” Southern coach Jim Roth said. “Did I think we would get a shutout, no. You can’t expect that after the way Mount Carmel has played the whole second half of the season, and the way they played against us in the first game. I knew our defense was going to respond, and they played at a much higher level than we did in the first game, there was no question.”

    Mount Carmel (9-3) saw its season ended by Southern for the sixth time in seven years. The Red Tornadoes had scored 40 points in seven consecutive games. They were averaging 465 yards of total offense coming in. None of it mattered to a defense that got revenge for a 42-30 loss just four weeks ago. Carter had four sacks and recovered a fumble. Murphy and Nate Gallagher each had an interception. Southern (11-1) held Mount Carmel to just 42 yards in the first half on 27 plays.

    “I think they’re a really good football team,” Mount Carmel coach John Darrah said. “When you make mistakes like that and you kind of lose momentum, it’s definitely really tough to get the stops, and make some of the plays you need. I think just from the start, we came out, kind of did some uncharacteristic things, and couldn’t recover.”

    Garcia scored on a 31-yard run just five plays in to open the scoring. Carter then recovered a fumble on Mount Carmel’s second offensive play. It didn’t take long to cash in the turnover, as Murphy got his big night going with a 7-yard run to the end zone. On the ensuing Mount Carmel possession, Murphy intercepted a pass and returned it 50 yards to set up another short field. After Garcia crossed the goal line from a yard out for his second touchdown, it was 22-0 with 3:39 left in the opening quarter, and it felt like an early knockout punch had been delivered. Southern converted all three takeaways into points.

    “We moved the ball,” Roth said. “It’s always good when you can walk away from a game without any punting statistics at all. The turnovers certainly helped kind of getting the snowball effect, but I was also very happy with the way the offense played, and I can’t say enough about all three backs until Garrett got hurt. Both (Carter) Madden and Murphy ran really well. There were times where there wasn’t a whole lot there, and they made something out of it.”

    In the early part of the second quarter, Garcia, who rushed for 61 yards on eight carries, left with a lower-body injury, and did not return. Madden helped pick up the slack by finishing an 11-play drive with a short 1-yard touchdown run. Following another Mount Carmel series that was abruptly ended when Carter blew up a reverse for a 12-yard loss on fourth down, Murphy hit pay dirt thanks to an 8-yard run with 4:52 left before halftime.

    “We knew what we had to do,” Murphy said. “I like being patient and waiting for stuff to open up. Sometimes it gets me killed, but other times when plays don’t look the greatest, I can make things happen. When I wasn’t getting the ball, Joey Williams had to step in and fill a big hole for Garrett Garcia. He did what he had to do. Carter had a great game. He ran and got tough yards.”

    Roth returned to the sidelines following his two-game suspension after some questionable officiating at Wyoming Area. His defense certainly rose to the occasion. In addition to denying the Red Tornadoes their 900th win in program history, the Tigers held Cole Spears to just 31 yards on 5-of-16 passing. It was quite a dramatic turn of events from the first meeting that saw Mount Carmel score four times in the first quarter.

    “Isaac wasn’t here the first time we played them this season, but his presence was felt this game,” Murphy said. “He was a nightmare for the Mount Carmel offense. Other than that, everybody else just had a great game overall.”

  • Mount Carmel Area Ends Wyalusing Season 43-21 in 1st Round of District 4 Playoffs

    Mount Carmel Area Ends Wyalusing Season 43-21 in 1st Round of District 4 Playoffs

    MOUNT CARMEL – Not content with just a first-round appearance in the state playoffs, Wyalusing tried to make history on Saturday afternoon.

    And while the Rams weren’t able to pick up the win over the home team, Mount Carmel, in the first round of the District 4 AA playoffs, what they were able to do most definitely got everyone’s attention, not the least of which is Mount Carmel.

    Despite running for 348 rushing yards on an astounding 72 carries, and running 76 offensive plays to just 37 for Mount Carmel – usually unheard-of numbers when playing at the Silver Bowl, Wyalusing was unable to convert on enough scoring opportunities, and Mount Carmel made up for its unusual deficit in the rushing yards category with some big plays on offense to escape with a 43-21 win over the opportunistic and confident Rams and advance to next week’s district semifinals.

    “We made some good stops, but it definitely wasn’t our best game, defensively,” said Mount Carmel coach John Darrah. “We’ll definitely need to clean some things up and do better there. Wyalusing is a very physical football team. They came here to run the ball and that’s what we expected them to do. We got some crucial stops when we needed to, but we definitely wanted to play a little better all around, both offensively and defensively.”

    While the Red Tornados advance to meet their rival Southern Columbia in the district semifinals next week, Wyalusing finishes its season with a 6-5 record, the most win for the program since 2010 when it won eight games, and also the first season with a winning record since 2010.

    “We came out and played Ram football today and I’m nothing but proud of what we did here today,” said Wyalusing coach Rich Rogers. “On paper, no one had us close in this game. We had no quit until the end. I’m proud of every one of these guys, and they should be proud of themselves. We’re holding our heads high on the way out of here.”

    Despite holding the decided advantage in time of possession and rushing yards, while also compiling 20 first downs in the game, Wyalusing was held to just 1-for-7 on fourth down. The Rams also had to battle the injury bug, as two of their skill players had to leave the game due to injuries. Dylan Johns, one of the three backs in Wyalusing’s wishbone offense, was hurt near the end of the first half, and then quarterback Parker Petlock was carted off the field after getting injured on the first play of the second half.

    Even in spite of those injuries to key players, the Rams showed confidence from the beginning to the end of the game. They showed they came to play right at the very beginning as they recovered an onside kick on the opening kickoff and drove the ball all the way down to the Mount Carmel 14 before being stopped by the Red Tornados on a fourth-and-4 play.

    Mount Carmel then went three-and-out and was forced to punt, but Ayden Hunsinger blocked Max Karycki’s punt out of the end zone for safety.

    Wyalusing then drove the ball down to the Red Tornado 26 on their ensuing drive after receiving the free kick, but Mount Carmel’s defense again stopped the Rams shy of the end zone.

    Without their leading rusher Luke Blessing, who sat out the game with a leg injury, the Red Tornados turned to fullback Al Bailey to deliver the first big play for Mount Carmel as he took the direct snap on the fullback wedge play and managed to get free for a 74-yard touchdown run to put Mount Carmel up 7-2 with just under four minutes left in the first quarter.

    “Al did a great job there finishing the run,” said Darrah. “That may have been the longest wedge we’ve ever run and it was great to see him finish and get in the end zone.”

    Wyalusing’s only turnover of the game was then capitalized on and turned into more points by Mount Carmel. Andrew Lukoskie had outstanding coverage on the Wyalusing receiver and picked off a well-thrown ball by Petlock to give the Red Tornados the ball at their own 35 after a penalty on the return. Four plays later, Cole Spears and Jacob Schultz connected for the second big play of the afternoon, a 46-yard touchdown reception to put Mount Carmel up 14-2 with 1:25 left in the quarter.

    The Rams’ running game kicked into high gear to start the second quarter. Following a Mount Carmel punt, they put together a 12-play, 66-yard drive that took nearly half the quarter and ended when Johns found the end zone for a five-yard touchdown run on a fourth-and-1 play, pulling Wyalusing back within a single score, 14-8.

    But the Rams’ second onside kick attempt of the game was unsuccessful, and the Red Tornados were given a short field after recovering it at the Wyalusing 43. Mount Carmel needed just six plays to get into the end zone on a misdirection 1-yard run by Xaviar Diaz.

    Wyalusing, which didn’t punt a single time in the game, was stopped on fourth down on each of its next three drives – its final first-half drive in which it was stopped at the Mount Carmel 32, and then back-to-back four-and-outs to start the second half.

    On the second of those, Mount Carmel took over at its own 47, and put together a seven-play, 53-yard drive capped by a 1-yard run by Spears to extend its lead to 29-8.

    The third big play of the game extended the Red Tornado lead to 36-8 on the second play of the fourth quarter when Diaz bounced off some tackles on the inside got outside to some space and used his speed to outrun everyone else on the field for a 45-yard touchdown run. Diaz finished with 71 rushing yards as the Red Tornados turned to a running back by committee approach to fill the slot of the missing Blessing, and Diaz also hauled in six catches for 51 yards.

    The Rams put together an 11-play, 75-yard drive that took 5:52 and was capped by a Hunsinger 3-yard run. Hunsinger, who had 171 yards on 29 carries to lead the Rams, also tacked on a 33-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter.

    Sandwiched in between Hunsinger’s two fourth-quarter touchdowns was the fourth and final big play for the Red Tornados – a 76-yard touchdown strike from Spears to Schultz for their second scoring connection of the day. Schultz finished his day with 139 receiving yards on four catches.

    The Red Tornados will now have a Week 12 showdown with their archnemesis Southern Columbia. Mount Carmel beat the Tigers for the second straight year in the regular season back in Week 8, and will now be looking to knock off the six-time defending state champions in the playoffs after Southern ended what was a previously unbeaten season for the Red Tornados in the district final last year. The teams have met in the district final in five of the last six seasons dating back to 2017 but with both teams losing games this year and Troy going undefeated to lock up the top seed, this year’s postseason meeting will occur a week earlier in the district semifinals.

  • Wyoming Area starts playoffs with win over North Pocono, 31-19

    Wyoming Area starts playoffs with win over North Pocono, 31-19

    WEST PITTSTON — Josh Mruk walked off Jake Sobeski Field by himself Friday night, but he wasn’t really alone. With every couple steps the sophomore from Wyoming Area took, someone shouted his name. They wanted to get the attention of the player who swung the momentum of the District 2 Class AAAA quarterfinal game permanently in the Warriors’ favor.

    If the smile stripped across Mruk’s face following Wyoming Area’s 31-19 win over North Pocono isn’t permanent, it’s going to take a while to be wiped away. One play after dropping a critical fourth-down pass, Mruk intercepted a screen pass and returned it for a touchdown giving the Warriors a two-score lead. He added a touchdown reception with about 8 minutes to play which all but sealed Wyoming Area’s spot in the 4A semifinals next week where it will travel to face Valley View.

    “It’s definitely a big moment,” Mruk said.

    And more importantly, it was his moment. Mruk admitted after his career night, which included a pair of interceptions, that it’s hard as a young player to live up to the standard his older brothers have set before him. Corey was a four-year letterwinner for the Warriors who was on the state title team in 2019. Drew is a state and national javelin champion who was also a significant contributor on the Warriors’ football team.

    But Friday night was Josh’s opportunity to show just what he’s capable of. Sure, he had that hiccup on a fourth-down pass in which he was wide open which could have extended a drive deep in North Pocono territory. But all of that was washed away with his other contributions.

    And on a night where Division I recruit Aaron Crossley injured his ankle and barely played in the fourth quarter, Wyoming Area had to have someone provide answers to a handful of second-half big plays by North Pocono. Mruk just happened to be that guy.

    “Josh has done an outstanding job all year. He’s an outstanding young player,” Wyoming Area coach Randy Spencer said. “He’s made big plays all year and significant contributions on both sides of the ball. We’re very excited for him. That was a big momentum swing that we were able to hold on to throughout the game.”

    Wyoming Area was leading North Pocono, 17-12, with about 2 minutes to play in the third quarter when Crossley (35 carries, 192 yards, 2 touchdowns) was pulled down backwards on a third-down run which caused his ankle to bend awkwardly and forced him off the field. Facing fourth-and-3 from the Trojans’ 37-yard line, Spencer chose to go for the first down.

    He ran a play-action pass with two criss-crossing receivers. Mruk was one of them and broke wide open on the left side of the field. Quarterback Anthony DeLucca’s pass hit Mruk in stride, but he couldn’t haul it in, turning the ball over on downs to North Pocono.

    On the very next play, the Trojans ran a screen play to the left. Mruk, after hitting the tight end, sniffed out the play. North Pocono quarterback Noah West’s pass hit Mruk in the hands and he hauled it in. Mruk shrugged off a pair of tacklers before breaking free and racing 35 yards for momentum-shifting touchdown.

    “Big swing. Big emotional swing,” North Pocono coach Greg Dolhon said. “We get that stop and we thought we had a play there that we really liked. But big credit to them for making the play.”

    It was the second time Mruk intercepted a short pass. In the first half from his edge rusher position, he jumped up to intercept a swing pass from West. Six plays after that interception, Crossley scored the first of his two touchdowns.

    “It’s about understanding where the football is,” Mruk said. “I had to shake off (the dropped pass) because when your energy goes down, everyone’s goes down. So you have to make a big play and get it back.”

    But not even Mruk could have anticipated getting that emotion and energy back on the very next play. And it proved to be pivotal.

    Each time Wyoming Area scored in the second half to push its lead to two scores, North Pocono found a way to answer quickly to get right back in the game. First it was a 33-yard pass from Noah West to Cole West to set up a 10-yard scoring strike to Ryan Marsh. Then it was a 48-yard connection between the West brothers to set up a 4-yard touchdown pass to Evan Wolff.

    “We have some good wideouts, and we think we have a special one in in Cole,” Dolhon said. “Noah did a great job of putting the football on him in some big spots. We had to do something to stay with them.”

    The final blow for Wyoming Area was one North Pocono couldn’t answer. Thirty-eight rushing yards from Lidge Kellum and a personal foul penalty on the Trojans defense led the path to DeLucca’s 14-yard scoring pass to Mruk on the same exact play in which he dropped that fourth-down pass earlier in the half.

    “What a way to make up for a tough play,” Spencer said. “It tells you what type of player he is at a young age.”

  • Hunter Aquino puts on a show in leading ANC to a 43-20 win over Belmont Charter

    Hunter Aquino puts on a show in leading ANC to a 43-20 win over Belmont Charter

    PHILADELPHIA, PA — The game was well over for probably an hour. Still, a Belmont Charter player sat there in exhausted resignation, shaking his head and wondering aloud from the Tigers’ bench, “What can’t that kid do?” in reference to a 58-yard punt in the closing minute of Saturday’s game.

    The punt came from a player you probably never heard of, from a school you never heard of, yet Academy of the New Church senior Hunter Aquino could easily be the best high school athlete in Southeastern Pennsylvania.

    All he did on Saturday was rush for a touchdown, score on a 40-yard pick-six, boot a 58-yard punt, and throw two touchdown passes in leading ANC to a 43-20 victory over visiting Belmont Charter, the tiniest school in the Philadelphia Public League.

    Aquino finished the game rushing for a team-high 73 yards on eight carries and completing six of seven passes for 133 yards and two scores, finishing with six straight completions after throwing an interception on his first pass.

    What’s more, Aquino never played quarterback before Saturday, replacing his brother, Conner, the Lions’ regular starting quarterback who suffered a torn ACL the previous week and was lost for the season.

    Hunter’s No. 1 sport is not even football. It’s lacrosse, where he is considered one of the best high school midfielders in the country, heading to Penn State for lacrosse, though very capable of playing football for the Nittany Lions.

    On Saturday, anything the 6-foot-6, 190-pound Hunter wanted to do, he did. Anywhere Hunter wanted to go on the field, he went. He finished by producing a combined 206 yards from scrimmage between rushing and passing.

    At halftime, Hunter even hopped into a nearby Bryn Athyn fire truck and put out a fire (just kidding).

    His otherworldly athleticism enabled him to seemingly do anything.

    “Believe it or not, I was very nervous at the start, and I had my brother, my main man, right by my side telling me I could do it,” Hunter said. “I was asked by Penn State to play football, but the priority is lacrosse there, which makes this really hard. I really enjoy playing football. My brother got me into it. I never had a game like this, even playing in my backyard. My teammates were behind me.

    “To be honest, I really did not know what I was doing. This is the first time I ever threw a varsity pass as the starting quarterback. I can’t juggle, and I didn’t put out a fire at halftime (laughs). I didn’t come off the field today and I loved every minute of it.

    “I think what will last for me is winning for my brother Conner. Before the game, Conner told us he knew he could not play, and if we could do it for him. I get emotional thinking about it even now. I have a feeling I won’t be forgetting about this game for a while.”

    Ty Klippenstein has been associated with the ANC since 2002. He has been the head coach of the Lions since 2012 and started as an assistant at ANC in 2006.

    He has had some quality players come through ANC, though none like Hunter.

    “We’ve had some good kids through the years, and Hunter could play Division I football for Penn State, for anyone, I know, I field the calls,” Klippenstein said. “Hunter caught the most amazing high school football catch I ever saw, and it happened last year in this game. Conner, his brother, threw Hunter the ball, the defender had an angle on him, when Hunter tipped the ball in the air with his one hand. When the defender went under, Hunter reached up and caught the ball with his other hand and scored a touchdown.

    “Special athletes have a spatial awareness, and Hunter has that ability to slow things down. Conner and Hunter are an unstoppable duo. It’s a shame Conner got hurt.”

    The Lions put the game away in the second quarter. Hunter threw a pair of touchdown passes, rushed for one score and his 40-yard pick-six wrapped up the quarter, instituting the 35-point mercy rule and running clock.

    But there has to be some credit given to Belmont Charter. The Tigers showed up with 22 players. They are coached by 24-year-old Tyrell Brent. They are primarily a young team, though there is some talent in Shamere Davenport, who scored twice, tailback Khiyuan Rigsby, who finished with a game-high 134 yards rushing on 13 carries, sophomore Ramier Haynes, who opened the game by intercepting Aquino, and sophomore defensive tackle Mason Billingsley-Walker, who recovered a fumble and played hard the entire game.

    “We shot ourselves in the foot, and that has to be corrected in the way we practice,” Brent said. “We are the smallest school in the Pub. We need to keep better heads in the playoffs, but overall, we never gave up and we have the state playoffs ahead.”

    Next week, Hunter may be playing in his last organized football game. But the best overall athlete in Southeastern Pennsylvania faces an interesting dilemma this winter, whether to start for the championship-level ANC basketball team or be the starting goalie for the ANC ice hockey team.

    What high school athlete in Pennsylvania, let alone the Delaware Valley area, has the athletic dexterity to handle that dichotomy?

    As for Hunter’s inability to juggle, “Hunter is so talented if you gave him five minutes,” Klippenstein said, laughing, “he would be able to figure it out.”

  • Steel-High Outlasts Trinity in Wild Shootout 42-37

    Steel-High Outlasts Trinity in Wild Shootout 42-37

    There were many future college football players on War Veterans Memorial Field in Harrisburg Saturday afternoon and all of them made plays.

    It resulted in a back-and-forth shootout that Steelton-Highspire eventually won 42-37 over Trinity in a battle between Mid-Penn Capital opponents.

    “Some of my best friends are on Trinity,” said Steel-High quarterback Alex Erby, who holds the all-time Pennsylvania high school football records for passing yards and touchdowns. “We might talk a little trash when we play but at the end of the day, I grew up with a lot of those kids. We make each other better.”

    Erby will decide between Maryland, Minnesota, and Navy for where he will attend college and continue to play football at the next level on October 30. His brother, lineman Andrew Erby Jr., committed to Ohio two days ago.

    Wide receiver Durrell Ceasar Jr. just picked up an offer from Shippensburg and running back Ronald Burnette certainly has the skills to play at the next level.

    Burnette rushed for 176 yards and two touchdowns; Ceasar Jr. had a 76-yard touchdown reception, a 76-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown and an interception; and Erby threw for 139 yards and a touchdown.

    Trinity running back Messiah Mickens is a Penn State commit and accumulated 167 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns.

    The talent on the field created fireworks.

    Trinity scored first on Christian Joy’s 21-yard TD run with 7:39 left in the first quarter after a roughing the punter penalty on fourth down moved the chains for the Shamrocks.

    Steel-High lost a fumble on the next possession, but Ceasar Jr. intercepted a pass and appeared to return it for an 80-yard pick-six. The referees called the ball back to the 20 after an inadvertent whistle stopped the play.

    It didn’t matter. Burnette answered with a 1-yard touchdown plunge to cap the 9-play, 80-yard drive with 6 seconds left in the first.

    Ceasar Jr. returned a Mickens fumble for a 76-yard touchdown with 6:23 left in the second quarter and Caleb Wray hit Tanie Young on a slant route for a 19-yard with 1:05 left for the Shamrocks (4-1, 6-3).

    The teams went into halftime tied 14-14.

    The teams exploded in the third with Wray hitting Mickens for a 69-yard touchdown with 8:05 left, Jaeion Perry punching in a 4-yard score after Burnette’s 76-yard run with 7:34 left, Wray again hitting Young for a 45-yard score with 5:35 left, and then the most jaw-dropping play of the afternoon.

    With the Rollers (5-0, 9-0) trailing 27-21 and the undefeated season on the line, Erby scrambled out left to his dominate hand, stiff-armed a defender, and unleashed a bomb to Ceasar Jr. who had gotten behind the Trinity safety.

    Ceasar Jr. ran the rest of the way for a 76-yard touchdown to give the Rollers a 28-27 lead with 4:42 left in the third.

    “The read was supposed to be backside,” Erby said. “I started scrambling out and saw Durrell. I was like, ‘I gotta break this.’ I gave a stiff arm and threw it as far as I could down field. Durrell Ceasar is a playmaker and I just tried to get him the ball.”

    The play was a huge momentum shift, but Mickens and the Shamrocks answered with a 9-yard touchdown run on their next drive.

    Burnette scored on a 2-yard run and Kameron Chisholm on a 64-yard run to make it 42-34 with 7:54 left in the game.

    Kieran Finegan knocked in a 19-yard field goal for Trinity with 3:50 remaining.

    The Shamrocks got the ball back with 22 seconds left at their own 43 after blocking a Steel-High punt but ran out of time to score the winning touchdown.

    Steel-High heads to fellow unbeaten West Perry next week and finishes its regular season on November 4 against Halifax.

    Trinity hosts Halifax next week to conclude its regular season.

  • Dallas Beats Wilkes-Barre 14-7

    Dallas Beats Wilkes-Barre 14-7

    DALLAS — The Dallas didn’t use any clever play call on a critical fourth quarter, fourth down call. They looked at junior safety Dylan Geskey and told him to go get the quarterback.

    Geskey moved up to linebacker on the play. Trailing by seven points, Wilkes-Barre Area had to convert the fourth-and-10 opportunity or Friday’s game was all but over.

    Geskey made sure it was over. He broke through the middle untouched sacking Wolfpack quarterback Jake Howe for a 14-yard loss and all but securing the Mountaineers’ 14-7 win.

    The victory kept Dallas unbeaten at 9-0, but it also secured a Wyoming Valley Conference Division I championship. The Mountaineers will look to finish their first unbeaten regular season since 2019 next week when it faces Lake-Lehman for the Old Shoe.

    “Number four (Geskey) is just a hell of a football player,” Dallas coach Rich Mannello said. “He’s a safety all night and we put him at the Mike linebacker for that play and just said go get the quarterback. And then there was a rush around him, so there was no where to go.”

    Geskey’s sack was the third time the Dallas defense got to Howe last night, but the Mountaineers had consistently moved the sophomore signal-caller off his spot in the backfield throughout the game. When the Wolfpack faced a fourth-and-10 from the Dallas 32-yard line with just over 2 minutes to go, defensive coordinator Matt Austin didn’t take any chances at letting Wilkes-Barre’s stable of athletes get loose. He sent the house at Howe with Geskey being the main firing pin.

    By the time Geskey broke through, all Howe could do was retreat looking for space to move. It was a fitting final play for a defense which bent at times last night, but always seemed to come up with an answer when it needed one.

    When Wilkes-Barre penetrated to the Dallas 16 in the first quarter, the Mountaineers’ defense forced a turnover on downs. Dallas did the same thing when the Wolfpack got inside its 30 in the second quarter. And the Mountaineers forced an incomplete pass in the end zone on fourth down midway through the fourth quarter.

    “We can’t get down in the red zone twice and get nothing,” Wilkes-Barre coach Ciro Cinti said. “Dallas is a great team, and they’re resilient.”

    “The defense showed tremendous heart,” Mannello said. “(Wilkes-Barre) has speed all over the place and the quarterback throws the ball well. But that’s a defensive night, and the defense won the football game.”

    Wilkes-Barre’s offense finished just 7 of 22 throwing the ball with three interceptions, including one on a second-half halfback pass. But it wasn’t the fault of a pouring rain which bordered on deluge at times. The Dallas defense covered the Wilkes-Barre receivers like the plethora of umbrellas which littered Mountaineer Stadium.

    Lucas Tirpak high-pointed a pass for an early interception. Mike Lewis and Gavin Lewis later did the same thing. And even if there were receivers open, Howe didn’t have much time to sit in the pocket and find them.

    And because of that defensive prowess, Dallas could focus on playing a ball control and field position game thanks to the 14 points it scored in the first 8 minutes of the game. Mannello said he didn’t want the weather to alter their gameplan after taking a 14-0 lead, but he said it was difficult not to let it affect their plan.

    He didn’t want to take unnecessary chances deep in their own zone, so he often called on quarterback Brady Zapoticky to run the ball on third-and-long situations. He knew it likely meant they wouldn’t get a first down, but he also knew he could flip the field position with punter Rowan Laubach, who did a tremendous job of not only getting rid of the football, but giving very little opportunities for Wilkes-Barre to return the kicks.

    “He was unbelievable with the punting,” Mannello said. “He rolled an ankle pretty bad in soccer a couple weeks ago, and he was able to fight through it for PATs and kickoffs, but this is the first he’s been able to punt. And to come back and punt this way in this weather says a lot about him.”

    Dallas opened the game with a 10-play, 65-yard drive which was capped by a Zapoticky 1-yard scoring run. And seemingly before Wilkes-Barre’s defense knew what hit it, Zach Paczewski went 59 yards yards on a reverse on the next series to put the Mountaineers up 14-0.

    Dallas managed just 116 more yards of offense the rest of the game, and only four first downs. But it was enough.

  • Antonio Fontanez Throws Three Second Half Touchdowns in Central Catholic Win Over Whitehall

    Antonio Fontanez Throws Three Second Half Touchdowns in Central Catholic Win Over Whitehall

    ALLENTOWN – Antonio Fontanez threw three second-half touchdowns to lead the Vikings over the Zephyrs 30-14 on a rainy/windy Saturday night at J. Birney Crum Stadium.

    “He was a little shaky early in the game and we had to make some adjustments,” said Head Coach ACC Rob Melosky. “It was an emotional game early and he made the adjustments and we leaned on him in the second half.”

    The first big play of the game came when Whitehall faced a fourth down and long deep in their territory. The Vikings’ Archer Hunsicker ran into the Whitehall punter, Cole Ricards, resulting in a Zephyrs’ first down.

    The Zephyrs took advantage of the Vikings’ early mistake and drove down the field for the score. Trey Dogmanits got a good push from the line and scored from one yard out. Andrew Deustch’s kick was good and the Zephyrs led 7-0 with 1:48 left in the first quarter.

    The Vikings had two players (Nathan Schultz and DJ Kelly) go out with injuries early in the game. One player stepping up at running back was Dante Hamilton. His two-yard touchdown tied the game up at seven with 7:30 left in the first half.

    “We lost Nate and Dante stepped up for us tonight,” said Melosky. “He stepped up and that is all we can ask for.”

    Whitehall took the lead before halftime. Carter Troxell had an eight-yard run to put the Zeyphyrs up 14-7.

    With 1:31 remaining in the first half the Vikings went for a field goal. The rain and wind was blowing. Central Catholic’s kicker Luke Myers tried the 47-yard field goal, but the wind was in his face. The wind knocked it down and it fell short of the goalpost.

    The Zephyrs went into halftime leading 14-7.

    The Vikings got the only score of the third quarter. Fontanez threw a perfect pass. Nasir McLean made an over-the-shoulder catch and ran into the end zone for a 20-yard touchdown. Myers’ kick tied the game up at 14 with 7:56 left in the quarter.

    ACC used the fourth quarter to dominate Whitehall. Fontanez hit Aidan Sorrentino in stride. He cut through the Whitehall defense for a 62-yard touchdown catch. It was 21-14 Central Catholic with 9:13 left in the game.

    Whitehall could not get ahead. With 4:12 remaining in the game, they were called for intentional grounding on a pass in the end zone. The Zephyrs were forced to kick the ball away.

    After the kick, the Vikings offense was on the move again. Fontanez found Jareel Calhoun in the corner of the end zone all alone for a five-yard touchdown catch.

    With the final touchdown, the Vikings sealed the game up with 37 seconds remaining in the game.

    Note:
    Central Catholic travels next weekend to face Pocono Mountain West
    Whitehall will try and rebound at Liberty next weekend.

  • Tremba 4 Touchdowns Lead Parkland to Big win over Bethlehem Catholic

    Tremba 4 Touchdowns Lead Parkland to Big win over Bethlehem Catholic

    OREFIELD – Parkland’s Luke Spang threw for 227 yards, three touchdowns and one rushing touchdown to lead the Trojans (8-0) over Bethlehem Catholic (5-3) 40-3 Friday night at Orefield Middle School Stadium.

    “Luke did a good job moving the ball tonight,” said Tim Moncman. “He did a great job passing and running tonight to keep Bethlehem Catholic off balance.”

    In the first quarter, the Trojans defense set the tone forcing the Golden Hawks to a three-and-out. From there, Spang set the tone. He capped off the drive scoring from one yard out. Aidan Gallagher’s kick made it 7-0 Trojans.

    Trey Tremba added a two-yard rushing touchdown in the quarter and an eight-yard score early in the second quarter. The Trojans quickly led 20-0.

    Spang and Connor Johns hooked up twice for touchdowns in the quarter. The first touchdown pass was a thing of beauty. Spang’s sidearm throw to Johns was similar to a Patrick Mahomes’ pass. On the next one, Spang stepped up in the pocket, avoided the sack and threw a perfect pass to Johns for the score. Johns finished the night catching five passes for 95 yards and two touchdowns.

    “It’s only his second year of football,” said Moncman. “It’s like night and day from last year and he keeps getting better each game.”

    With 10.2 seconds left in the first half, Tremba intercepted a pass to end the Golden Hawks’ first half. The Trojans led 33-0 at halftime.

    “He plays both sides of the ball,” said Moncman. “He had the pick before half and he does a lot of different things for us and is all over the field.”

    The Trojans had the only scoring in the third quarter. Spang threw his third touchdown of the night. He rolled out and found Jendel Sanchez for a ten-yard touchdown. It was 40-0 with 2:38 left in the quarter.

    With the younger players playing in the fourth quarter, Bethlehem Catholic’s Jeremy Fyrer kicked a 32-yard field goal.

    The Trojans’ defense held the Golden Hawks to three points and under 50 yards rushing tonight.

    “I thought our defense was our strong point tonight,” said Moncman. “We got at it tonight and didn’t give up many big plays.”

    Note:
    Next weekend, Parkland travels to Easton Area and Bethlehem Catholic hits the road to Nazareth.

  • Downingtown West beats Coatesville for the first time since 2019, 21-14

    Downingtown West beats Coatesville for the first time since 2019, 21-14

    DOWNINGTOWN — A smile creased Quinn Henicle’s face. The Downingtown West senior quarterback was well aware of the history between the Whippets and Ches-Mont League National Division rival Coatesville

    The last time Downingtown West beat Coatesville was in 2019 when the Whippets’ seniors were in eighth grade. Because the game was canceled last year due to threats of violence, many of these seniors never previously faced Coatesville, including Old Dominion commit Henicle.

    Call Friday night at Downingtown’s Walter E. Kottmeyer Stadium making up for lost time.

    After struggling offensively in the first half, the Whippets came back to score in the third and fourth quarters to hand Coatesville a 21-14 defeat. Before that, the last time Downingtown West beat Coatesville was a Will Howard-led 48-36 Whippets’ victory in the District 1 Class 6A championship in November 2019.

    This season, Downingtown West remains undefeated at 7-0 overall and 2-0 in the Ches-Mont National, while the Red Raiders fell to 5-2 and 0-1 in the Ches-Mont National.

    “It’s a war against (Coatesville) and we knew that going in,” said Henicle, who completed 14 of 18 passes for 208 yards and a touchdown, with a fourth-quarter score that proved to be the game-winner. “We fought for this. We wanted it more. We learned we’re mentally tough. I waited my whole career to face them. I’m a two-year starter, so I never got a chance to play them last year. This feels great.”

    The play of the game came when Henicle hit senior receiver Dean Hangey with a 33-yard sideline bomb with just over two minutes to play. The Whippets had their backs to their end zone on a third-and-nine at the West two, when Henicle found Hangey at the 35.

    From there, West ran the clock down to 55 seconds left to play, forcing Coatesville into a panic. The Red Raiders committed three penalties for 15 yards and never found any cohesion to threaten West.

    “I used to live in Coatesville and I know those guys and love all of them,” said West’s Kam Alex, who scored the first touchdown of the game. “Two years ago, we lost in the last seconds. Last year, from our perspective, we felt that they were running away from us, that they were scared of us. I kept motivating our guys to finish, finish, finish.

    “This is amazing. I’m about to celebrate with the guys.”

    With the West offense dragging, Henicle tied the score by hitting Jordan Barry in stride for a 60-yard TD pass with 49 seconds left in the third quarter. On the Whippets’ next drive, they banged out an exhaustive 10-play, 76-yard drive, with Henicle touching it off with a nine-yard TD run with 5:55 to play.

    “Last year we didn’t get a chance to play, and two years ago, they hit a fade ball in the corner of the end zone with 13 seconds left to beat us,” West coach Mike Milano said. “These seniors really didn’t get a chance to play Coatesville twice, and for some of these seniors, this was their first time. Henicle played a great game.”

    Milano and Henicle saw the corner bite on an earlier play, which set up the Barry touchdown. The 33-yard toss to Hangey was a call that came from sheer guts.

    “That was huge to get us out of that hole,” Milano said. “I trusted Quinn and he put it up and gave Dean a chance to get it. We talk history, and these guys go way, way back with the Downingtown-Coatesville rivalry. I told them afterward that I was proud of them.”

    Coatesville took a 14-7 lead into halftime. Neither team was able to do much offensively, with the Whippets picking up 98 yards of total offense to Coatesville’s 111 yards.

    West scored on its first possession, traveling 67 yards over eight plays. The big play of the drive was West’s first play of the game, a 23-yard completion from Henicle to Jake Kucera. Henicle kept the drive alive with an eight-yard scramble on a fourth-and-three at the Coatesville 18. One play later, Alex zig-zagged his way into the end zone for a 7-0 West lead.

    Coatesville responded by scoring on its next two drives. The Red Raiders tied it on a Damon Watson four-yard run, made possible by Matt Ortega Jr.’s 35-yard completion to Frank Miles.

    On the next drive, Coatesville took advantage of a CJ Miller fumble recovery at the West 27, caused by a blind-side sack by Matt Luton. The Red Raiders took the lead when Ortega connected with James Jack Qwan for a 29-yard touchdown. The score came after a Red Raiders’ unsportsmanlike penalty, which put the Red Raiders in what appeared to be a second-and-26 fix. Ortega wiped that out by hitting Qwan.

    There was a total of five combined unsportsmanlike or personal fouls between the two teams in the first half.

    Early on, the difference was the Coatesville defense, which held West to a scant 30 yards of total offense the rest of the half after the Whippets’ opening drive. Miller, a 6-3, 340-pound freshman defensive tackle, caused a lot of havoc inside for West, which could not move the ball between the tackles, and by the pressure of Luton and senior linebacker Jon Rivera.

    Miller, Luton, and Rivera combined for five tackles in losses for minus-17 yards in the first half.

    By the second half, Coatesville was struggling.

    “We had guys cramping up and guys playing different positions because guys were getting tired, and that showed with guys not getting lined up right,” Coatesville coach Matt Ortega Sr. said. “We have to come back Monday and bounce back from that. We have to move on to next week. We weren’t right in the second half on offense.”

  • Tyler Gee throws 5 touchdowns to lead Loyalsock over Central Columbia

    Tyler Gee throws 5 touchdowns to lead Loyalsock over Central Columbia

    SOUTH CENTRE TWP.-It’s no secret Loyalsock has playmakers that can make life difficult for an opponent on both sides of the ball. Following a sluggish first half, those playmakers took over and quickly turned a competitive game into a blowout. Loyalsock scored on four consecutive possessions to start the second half, and added a pick-six for good measure. Central Columbia was able to hang around for a while, but the Lancers used an explosive third quarter to pull away. Led by five touchdown passes from Tyler Gee, Loyalsock cruised past Central for a 50-10 victory.

    “We knew (Central) was going to come out and fight as hard as they could,” Loyalsock coach Justin Van Fleet said. “I cautioned our guys about coming out slow. We had to be precise, do our jobs, and recognize that this is a better team than its record indicates. With this travel situation coming down here, we just didn’t have it in the beginning. We were a little flat, and it certainly looked that way in the first half. At halftime, the message was simple. We had to do our jobs and understand our assignments. Our special teams had to get it in gear, and finally, the players had to step up and lead.”

    Loyalsock (4-2) led just 17-10 at halftime, but any upset hopes the Blue Jays had briskly evaporated. Gee threw his third touchdown pass of the night on the opening drive of the third quarter. Jamaire Harden tiptoed the sideline and caught a 27-yard touchdown pass in the front-right corner of the end zone to cap off a seven-play, 50-yard drive. Following a Jeremiah Johnson interception, the duo connected again on a very similar play that went for a 26-yard scoring strike, which basically put the game away less than five minutes into the second half.

    “Teams that become great are not led by the coaches, they’re led by the players,” Van Fleet said. “In this situation, they’ve kind of adopted the idea that I’m always the voice, along with the coaching staff. We’re the ones that talk them out of the gutter, and at halftime I said, I’m not doing it. The locker room is yours. We don’t have any adjustments. The adjustments have to be, you take control of this game by doing your job, focusing on your assignments, and I’m getting out of your way.”

    Gee continued his big night with a 52-yard touchdown pass to Will Burdett down the right sideline that made the score 37-10. Jaylen Andrews, who had five receptions for 90 yards and a touchdown, made an impact on defense with two interceptions. The first one was returned 30 yards for a touchdown. Kaden Keefer scored on a 3-yard run to close out the scoring midway through the fourth quarter. Gee finished with 240 yards on 13-of-20 passing. Burdett chipped in with 72 yards receiving, as both of his catches went for touchdowns.

    “He played with very clean eyes tonight,” Van Fleet said of Gee. “He was confident the entire time. He was really understanding what we could take, what we couldn’t take. He was very methodical. He threw the ball out of bounds when we needed to. He made the big plays when he needed to, and he also took the short stuff. In the second half, everybody worked to their jobs, worked up to their potential, and the score changed pretty rapidly.”

    Central (0-6) did some good things, and held a brief lead in the first half. The Blue Jays put together a well-executed nine-play drive that saw Caius Morrow score on a quarterback keeper from 15 yards out. When Loyalsock took a 17-7 lead, Eli Book promptly responded by returning the ensuing kickoff 83 yards to set up Central at the Loyalsock 12. Although Gaje Gombert had a touchdown called back on a holding penalty, Maguire Blake did kick a 22-yard field goal in the waning seconds of the first half to make it a one-score game at intermission.

    “I hope I see the team that was out here in the first half for the rest of the season,” Central coach E.J. Smith said. “That’s kind of what I told the team. The effort was there, and that’s what we’ve been looking for. They played hard. We limited mistakes, and then in the second half, we reverted back to kind of putting our heads down and not flying to the football. We made mistakes in the first half, but we did it going 100 miles an hour, and that was the difference in the second half.”

    The first two drives of the second half netted Central minus-10 yards on six plays. Throw in four interceptions, six penalties and no defensive stops, it was easy to see how things escalated quickly. Things won’t get any easier, as the Blue Jays face Southern Columbia next week.

    “They’ve got some athletes, and I thought we competed pretty well with them,” Smith said. “Like I said, that effort in the first half is what we need for the rest of the season.”

  • Palmerton’s Dynamic Duo Leads the Blue Bombers Over Notre Dame Green Pond

    Palmerton’s Dynamic Duo Leads the Blue Bombers Over Notre Dame Green Pond

    PALMERTON – Matthew Machalik and Ty Sander combined for 361 yards rushing to lead the Blue Bombers to a 41-26 win Friday night. With the win, Palmerton stays unbeaten at 5-0 this season.

    “We came out and wanted to establish the line on both sides of the ball and I think we did a very good job doing that tonight,” said Palmerton Head Coach Chris Walkowiak. “They are a veteran group and played well tonight.”

    Palmerton struck first and never trailed in the game. Machalik scored on a one-yard quarterback sneak while eating up a lot of the clock on the 14-play, 80-yard drive. Jacob Walkowiak’s kick put the Blue Bombers up 7-0.

    Notre Dame Green Pond tied the game up at 7 with 36 seconds left in the first quarter. The Crusaders were facing a fourth down and six when quarterback Danny Darno found Julian Baker in the back of the end zone for the 16-yard touchdown pass.

    The Blue Bombers answered right back with a seven-play, 68-yard drive. Sanders finished the drive going right up the middle from four yards out. He wasn’t done yet. Sanders added his second rushing touchdown of the first half. This time for a six-yard run.

    The play of the night came right before halftime. Setting up the play, Sanders intercepted a Darno pass and returned it to the Notre Dame 42.

    With 33 seconds left in the half, Palmerton went into their bag of tricks. Machalik took the snap and tossed it to Sanders who threw it back to a wide-open Machalik who made a one-handed catch for the 11-yard touchdown pass and a commanding 28-7 lead heading into halftime.

    “I thought defensively it was huge to hold Notre Dame to seven points the first half,” said Walkowiak. “Ty Sanders’ interception was a big play right before half and punching in the late touchdown.”

    In the third quarter, the Crusaders cut the lead to 14 with 7:45 left in the quarter. Darno was under pressure most of the night and as he was getting hit he threw a perfect pass to A.J. Lozano for a 44-yard touchdown pass.

    “Bryce Marino and Emilio Gonzalez at the end applied a lot of pressure on Darno tonight,” said Walkowiak. “That was the game plan going in to make him uncomfortable in the pocket.”

    Again, the Blue Bombers responded. With 3:06 left in the quarter, Machalik burst through the line, hit another gear and went 43 yards down the sideline. It was 35-14 Palmerton. Machalik finished the night rushing for 236 yards.

    “He is our leader and wants the ball in pressure situations,” said Walkowiak. “He is a special kid and one of the best in the state.”

    It was back and forth in the end. Darno rushed for a touchdown and hit Lozano for one more. Sanders got his third rushing touchdown and the Blue Bombers stayed perfect at 5-0 with the win.

    Sanders finished the night rushing for three touchdowns, intercepted a pass, and threw a touchdown.

    “Ty is one of those gritty kids who loves playing defense and hitting,” said Walkowiak. “On offense, he loves to run north and south and pound it between the tackles.”

    PALMERTON NOTES: 1st time beating Notre Dame Green Pond in nine years (2014) when they won 47-8. In the game, Machalik went over the 1,000-yard rushing mark. It was the third time in his career to do that.

    Up Next: Palmerton is home against Pine Grove Area next Friday night.

    NOTRE DAME GREEN POND NOTES: Danny Darno passed for 190 yards and three touchdowns and added 75 yards rushing and one touchdown.

    Up Next: Notre Dame Green Pond hits the road to North Schuylkill next Friday night.

  • Parkland Remains Undefeated After Win Over Nazareth Area

    Parkland Remains Undefeated After Win Over Nazareth Area

    OREFIELD – Not many games live up to the hype, but this one did. Two of the top teams in the EPC South went head-to-head Friday night in front of a packed crowd. It was Nazareth Area (3-1) vs. Parkland (4-0) in an early showdown.

    The stars came out to shine last night, but no bigger star than Trey Tremba. The Parkland senior rushed for  269 yards. He also caught the go-ahead touchdown pass with 1:22 left in the game to lead the Trojans to a 31-24 win over Nazareth Area. 

    “It was a heck of a football game tonight,” said Tremba. “I can’t say enough about how good my line did tonight. They opened up a lot of holes tonight. ”

    In the first half, it was the Tremba show. Trey scored on a four-yard touchdown run and a pair of 33-yard runs. Aidan Gallagher added a 28-yard field goal in the first quarter and the Trojans went into halftime leading 24-10.

    But the Blue Eagles made adjustments at halftime. One of the key changes made was moving Sean Kinney in the middle to slow down the Trojans’ offense in the second half. It worked. After a sluggish start in the first half, the Blue Eagles’ offense got going. 

    Quarterback Peyton Falzone connected on two touchdown throws of 19 and 59 yards to Caleb Newsome to tie the game up at 24 with 11:18 remaining in the game. 

    The biggest play of the game came with 1:22 remaining in the game. Parkland quarterback Luke Spang threw a pass while falling to the ground to Tremba. He did the rest and went 39 yards for the game-winning touchdown.

    “Spang made a great throw in finding me,” said Tremba. “I didn’t think I was going to get it but I did and the rest is history.” 

    Spang finished the night completing 10 of 16 passes for 139 yards. 

    NAZARETH NOTES: Nazareth Area’s record is now 3-1. Falzone finished the night passing for 246 yards and two touchdowns. Jed Benedekovits rushed for 103 yards. Caleb Newsome caught five passes for 112 yards. The Blue Eagles travel to play Liberty next Friday night.

    PARKLAND NOTES: Parkland remains undefeated at 4-0. The Trojans are on the road next weekend and will face another unbeaten team. This time Central Catholic (4-0).

  • South Williamsport rushes for over 400 yards in 58-18 win over Columbia-Montour Vo-Tech

    South Williamsport rushes for over 400 yards in 58-18 win over Columbia-Montour Vo-Tech

    ALMEDIA – When one thinks about running games and the ground-and-pound offense in District 4, names such as Southern Columbia and Mount Carmel no doubt come to mind.

    For the better part of the last decade, though, South Williamsport has been every bit as good as those two coal region teams when it comes to running the football, and the Mounties appear to have another strong team in the trenches and on the ground once again in 2023.

    South Williamsport put up 418 rushing yards and scored five first quarter touchdowns en route to a 58-18 win over Columbia-Montour Vo-Tech on Saturday afternoon, improving the Mounties to 3-0 on the young season.

    “It’s a credit to the kids because in order to run the ball like that, you really have to put in the work,” said South Williamsport coach Chris Eiswerth. “They start in the weight room in January to build their bodies up, get stronger, get that core strength, and they really work hard at practice. We still push sleds and work on interior run practices, blocking schemes against multiple fronts, so a lot of work goes into it, but the kids have stepped up.

    “If we keep working hard, some good things can happen. We’ve been blessed with some good teams and some great players over the years and this group has that potential.”

    In addition to the more than 400 yards on the ground, the Mounties also had a very efficient passing game on the afternoon for good measure, as its two quarterbacks combined to complete 8-of-9 passes for 111 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

    Defensively the Mounties held CMVT to just 76 rushing yards, with most of those coming in the second half after South Williamsport had already built up a four-possession lead.

    “We’re a team that has to be able to run the ball. If we go back and have to throw 30 times a game and let Caden take shots playing from behind, we’re in trouble and he’s not going to last the season,” said CMVT coach Mark Varner. “We have to figure out our running game against good teams like this. South is a very good, very physical team, so we have to come out and stay with our blocks and make sure we’re doing what we have to do to run the ball so we can throw off of that and teams can’t just pin back our ears and come after Caden.”

    Down to its third-string running back already due to some illness, the Rams lost Charlie Sigo as well on the first play of the second half as he was slammed to the ground on a tackle. Though South Williamsport was flagged on the play, it forced Varner to go to his starting tight end and defensive end, Gabe Sauder to the offensive backfield.

    Sauder went on to finish the game leading the Rams in rushing yards with 53, and he also had a 55-yard rushing touchdown late in the fourth quarter. But anytime at any level that the starting tight end or defensive end has to play running back, it’s generally not a great situation.

    “I want to thank those guys for playing hard in a position they had zero practice for,” said Varner. “Gabe had that big run and basically had never taken a handoff in practice. We had some sickness go through the team this week, so we knew we were going to come in short-handed and then our third-string tailback gets thrown down and he’s out.”

    South Williamsport’s first drive was an omen of what was to come on the afternoon, as the Mounties received the opening kickoff and proceeded to take just four plays to score its first touchdown of the game on a seven-yard run by Ryan Casella.

    Just :18 later, Casella found the end zone again as he scooped up and returned a fumble 45 yards for a touchdown on CMVT’s first play of its ensuing drive.

    The Rams were stopped on downs near midfield on their next drive, and the Mounties needed just a single play to take a three-score lead as Radley Knapp hit Dylan Scheller for a 46-yard touchdown reception.

    Later in the quarter, Knapp hit Tanner Smith for a 20-yard touchdown pass, and Kaiser Kistner capped the scoring in the first quarter with a 60-yard touchdown run to cap a two-play, 84-yard drive.

    Evan Barry capped a 10-play drive, South’s longest of the game in terms of plays, with a one-yard touchdown run to put the Mounties up 39-0 midway through the second quarter.

    CMVT was able to find the end zone late in the second quarter to avoid the mercy rule being invoked at the beginning of the second half, as Caden Long punched it in from a yard out with :38 left in the half. That touchdown run was set up by a pair of completions for 39 yards each to Aston Koser and Logan Bracey.

    That connection from Long to Bracey was a bright spot for the Rams, as Bracey later caught a 12-yard touchdown pass from Long in the third quarter and finished the game with five catches for 132 yards. Long finished with 217 passing yards on 9-of-20 throwing.

    But the game was put into the mercy rule just a few minutes into the second half when South’s Amir Kemrer got loose for a 49-yard touchdown run on his only carry of the game.

    Later in the third quarter, Jack Fortin added a 56-yard touchdown run on one of just two carries on the day and Barry added his second rushing touchdown from 21 yards out in the fourth quarter to cap South’s longest drive of the night in terms of yards, a nine-play, 71-yard drive.

    “They’ve been a very good team for a long time,” said Varner. “They put 72 on us last year, so we definitely did better than that, but they’re a very aggressive team and we have to do a better job when he have an aggressive team like that to do some things that nullify their aggressiveness with some counters and screens and that type of thing. It’s difficult when you have guys go down, though, and you’re putting guys in that position who are young or maybe don’t know exactly what to do since they don’t get the reps.”

    “I’m proud of the guys. It was a total team effort today. The guys that started the game got things rolling and we got a chance to play a lot of young guys. Everyone played their roles,” said Eiswerth.

  • Northwest Area routs Columbia-Montour Vo-Tech 40-8

    Northwest Area routs Columbia-Montour Vo-Tech 40-8

    SHICKSHINNY – Northwest had to make a trip out to the literal opposite end of District 4 last week to open the season against Cowanesque Valley. The result of that game likely made what was an already long bus ride home even longer.

    Not happy with the result of last week’s game, the Rangers came out ready and fired up for their home opener on Saturday night as they racked up over 400 yards of offense and scored on their first three possessions of the game, racing out to a 34-0 lead before Columbia-Montour Vo-Tech was able to find the end zone as Northwest picked up its first win of the season, 40-8 over the visiting Rams.

    “We moved the ball well offensively but still have a lot of mistakes we need to take care of – a lot of penalties that weren’t needed and a lot of big plays called back,” said Northwest coach Leigh Bonczewski. “But, it was nice to see the kids come out and play physically, play fast, and really get after it.”

    The Rangers got right after it on just their third play from scrimmage when Jace McCoy found Adam Chonko for a 38-yard touchdown reception.

    Chonko would later add a rushing touchdown in the second quarter – a 19-yard run – which was set up by his own 41-yard fumble return that gave Northwest the ball at the Ram 19-yard line. That was the first of four turnovers for the Rams, and the Rangers would later turn two others into points as well.

    “I’m really proud of the defense. Dom Cavuto, Nick Stevens, Adam Chonko, Loegan Diltz – all of them,” said Bonczewski. We really worked hard on it during the week. We had a rough week tackling against Cowanesque, but they came back this week and really did a nice job and worked hard on it during the week.”

    “You have to give a lot of credit to Northwest. They dictated a lot of things that we had to do tonight, put a lot of pressure on Caden, and when that happens, you just have to give the other team credit,” said CMVT coach Mark Varner.

    The Rams were able to move the ball well at times but were hurt by the turnovers. Caden Long had a decent game at quarterback for the Rams, throwing for 128 yards, with nine of his 12 completions going to the duo of Axton Koser and Logan Bracey. But he was also sacked twice and threw a pair of interceptions.

    “Axton runs a good deep pattern and is tall. It’s always easier to throw to a guy that is 6’3,” said CMVT coach Mark Varner. “We need to develop that second and third receivers and we tried to get our tight end involved a little bit. We want to power run and then throw off of that.”

    McCoy tossed four touchdowns for the Rangers and threw for 170 yards despite completing just six passes. He connected with Branden Biller for a 21-yard touchdown later in the first quarter.

    Late in the second quarter, Northwest took advantage of a very short punt by the Rams that gave the Rangers the ball at the CMVT 37 with :35 left in the half. McCoy found Trevor Dietz for a 37-yard screen pass that went for a score. That was the first of two screen passes called perfectly to counter a CMVT blitz that went for touchdowns.

    “We had an eye out for that. They like to bring the heat up the middle and we knew when they started doing that, they’d do it for a while, so we called the middle screen pass,” said Bonczewski.

    The second of those came after halftime and immediately following another CMVT turnover. Cole Hudack picked off a pass and returned it to the CMVT 47. After a holding penalty backed up the Rangers, McCoy connected with Nicholas Stevens on another crossing screen pass, and Stevens broke one tackle and went all the way to the end zone to give Northwest a 34-0 lead.

    The Rams were able to get on the scoreboard and in doing so, avoid the mercy rule being invoked as they were able to finish a drive. Long found Koser on a crossing pattern, who then found the corner of the end zone to cap a 10-play, 66-yard drive at the 1:48 mark of the third quarter. Long then hit Ashton Smith for the two-point conversion

    Hudack capped the scoring for Northwest with a three-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter.

  • Imhotep Charter keeps rolling, blanking Haverford School 35-0

    Imhotep Charter keeps rolling, blanking Haverford School 35-0

    WILMINGTON, DEL — None of this matters. Not this time of year. Not with a powerhouse like Imhotep Charter.

    The Panthers rolled over Haverford School, 35-0, to keep their scoreless streak intact on Friday night in the inaugural Mid-Atlantic Pigskin Classic football showcase at Salesianum School’s Abessinio Stadium, in Wilmington, Delaware.

    In two games, Imhotep (2-0) has outscored its opponents 122-0. That ‘0’ in the right column may be challenged next week against visiting Archbishop Spalding of Baltimore, but for now, no team in PIAA Class 5A comes close to the Panthers.

    The test comes in maintaining that.

    “We’re pushing ourselves with the attitude to keep dominating, keep dominating,” said Imhotep’s Penn State-bound defensive back Kenny Woseley, who also plays a very key role as the Panthers’ kicker. “We challenge ourselves in practice every day against what I believe is the best offense in the nation. We play every day against Georgia commit Jabree Wallace-Coleman, we play against Penn State commit Tyseer Denmark, we defend against Army commit quarterback Mikal Davis. What team in the state or the country has that?

    “We’ve known how much power we have on offense. We clash heads every day knowing iron sharpens iron. We want to make a statement every time we play. We know there are things we need to tighten up. In a game like this, we’re going to look at the little things.”

    Woseley’s kicking ability, which he says he can make a field goal from 35 yards out, could be a factor in December, where the Panthers are no doubt heading.

    Other factors like the rise of sophomore defensive back Willie Norris also matter. He leads the Panthers with two interceptions this season. His third quarter pick led to Wallace-Coleman’s second touchdown of the night.

    “I need to stay focused, knowing I have 10 other dogs in the box who depend on me,” said Norris, a first-year starter. “We can’t say too much right now. It’s September. We need to limit the mistakes. It doesn’t mean we can’t stop playing with a chip on our shoulders. It’s the whole team that has that attitude.”

    This could be a special Imhotep team, one of the best in school history. Another measuring stick will come next week against Spaulding, which beat the Panthers last year.

    “We try to take one game at a time, breaking the season down in three parts, finishing our nonleague season undefeated, then Malvern Prep,” Imhotep coach Devon Johnson said. “Our guys are ready to go for Spaulding. We’re not thinking about December. We’re on to Spaulding.”

    Johnson would like his team to clean up the holding calls, and wipe out some personal foul calls.

    Imhotep made it look easy.

    Right now, the best Public League game in the city may be Imhotep’s offense against its defense.

    Against Haverford School, the Panthers bolted out to a 21-0 lead by intermission. Davis found Sayeed Buie for a 48-yard touchdown pass near the end of the first quarter, and then the Panthers’ running game took control.

    Syeer Coleman’s six-yard run gave Imhotep a 14-0 edge, and Wallace-Coleman’s 11-yard scoring run boosted that lead to 21-0 with 6:27 left in the half. Wallace-Coleman scored once more in the third, off the Norris pick, and Denmark concluded the scoring on an 11-yard end around that started the running clock with 4:57 to play.

    Can any 5A team stop Imhotep?

  • Noah Dolbin leads the Nativity BVM to a 28-14 victory over Wyalusing

    Noah Dolbin leads the Nativity BVM to a 28-14 victory over Wyalusing

    WYALUSING – Wyalusing’s offense looked pretty solid for most of its season-opening game against Nativity BVM on Saturday night. The Rams outgained the Green Wave 261-211 for the game and had success both running and passing.

    But Wyalusing struggled to finish its drives, and also committed some costly turnovers – three total, two of which led directly to Nativity touchdowns – and Nativity overcame some early turnovers of its own to pick up a 28-14 win over Wyalusing.

    “I was very happy with the way we were able to move the ball on them – bully ball, between the tackles type of stuff, we were able to drive the field, but we have to be able to finish,” said Wyalusing coach Rich Rogers.

    Wyalusing was only able to finish two drives, one early and one late. But in between, Nativity did its damage, as it took advantage of three overall turnovers by the Rams, two of which led directly to touchdowns, and also added a special teams touchdown.

    It didn’t look like things might turn out that way early on, however. Coming off a disappointing season last year, Nativity BVM coach Pat Mason was thinking ‘Here we go again’ after Ben Kreitzer’s first pass attempt of the year on Nativity’s second play from scrimmage was picked off by Cade McMicken at the Wyalusing 36, giving the Rams a short field. They would capitalize as Ayden Hunsinger burst up the middle for a 26-yard touchdown run to put the Rams up 6-0 a little over two minutes into the game.

    Another interception ended Nativity’s second possession as well after the Green Wave drove into the red zone. But from there, Green Wave cleaned things up and would not commit another turnover for the remainder of the game.

    “We had an incredibly tough year last year – not what we’re used to, and we’ve come a long way,” said Mason. “These kids really went through a lot of adversity and then with how the game started, I’m like ‘here we go again,’ but they came back. This shows a lot for their character and this is a big win after only winning three games last year. We have a lot of kids that stepped up and played well tonight.”

    Things looked a bit dismal early for the Green Wave, however. Nativity drove down to the Wyalusing 20 on its next drive, but it was once again stopped by an interception, as Dylan Johns picked off Kreitzer and returned it to the Wyalusing 41.

    From that point, however, the Green Wave bore down on defense. They forced back-to-back three-and-outs for the Rams and then picked up their own takeaway deep in Wyalusing territory as they recovered a Ram fumble at the Wyalusing 27 early in the second quarter.

    Two rushes by Sam Spolski, one for 16 yards and one for 11 produced a touchdown to tie the game 6-6.

    Nativity forced a punt on Wyalusing’s next drive, and it was returned by Noah Dolbin 65 yards for a touchdown, the first of two returns for a score by Dolbin on the night. John Borrell punched in a two-point conversion to put the Green Wave up 14-6 with 5:35 left in the first half.

    The Green Wave then came up with a big defensive stop to end the half as Wyalusing drove it all the way down to the Nativity 3-yard line in 15 plays but were stopped three yards short of the end zone at the halftime horn.

    Wyalusing also received the second-half kickoff and proceeded to put together another long drive that took up nearly five minutes and spanned another nine plays, but it, too, was stalled as the Green Wave stopped the Rams on fourth down from the Nativity 23 – giving Nativity’s defense 24 straight plays on the field on either end of halftime without yielding a score.

    Later in the third quarter, the Green Wave defense came up with another takeaway as Dolbin picked off a McMicken pass at the Wyalusing 43. Five straight rushes by Borrell resulted in another touchdown with :18 left in the quarter to put the Green Wave up 21-6. Borrell, who led the way on the ground for Nativity with 84 yards on 12 carries, picked up 43 of his yards on that drive.

    “We need to work on contain, that’s been a huge thing and we’ve been working on it but we need to focus even more and find the right people that can do that for us,” said Rogers. “We’re still attacking and we caused some turnovers and are doing the things we’ve been focusing on, but we have to find the people that can contain and stop the big plays around the corner. We can’t give up the big stuff.”

    Dolbin ended Wyalusing’s second straight possession on the Rams’ ensuing drive when he picked off Parker Petlock and this time returned it 41 yards for a touchdown to put the Green Wave up 28-6 early in the fourth.

    “We really had some kids step up and Noah Dolbin is lights out, he’s a player,” said Mason. “I thought we ran the ball pretty well, John Borrell really did well running the ball in the second half. It was a great team effort, I’m proud of my guys and we’re really hoping we can keep this thing rolling.”

  • North Schuylkill beats Mount Carmel 34-27 in a hard fought win

    North Schuylkill beats Mount Carmel 34-27 in a hard fought win

    MOUNT CARMEL-It was an outcome that was foreshadowed throughout much of the second half. Mount Carmel, despite playing well and holding a two-score lead against a very good opponent, started losing players to cramping on what seemed like every play. That opened the door for North Schuylkill to take advantage of an exhausted and depleted defense. The Spartans roared back from a 14-point deficit and took the lead for good on Ricky Halford’s 30-yard run with 47 seconds remaining that gave North Schuylkill a hard-fought 34-27 win.

    “We went through this last year with them,” Mount Carmel coach John Darrah said. “It was very similar. I think this year was a little bit worse. We knew it was going to be like this. It’s a hot, humid day. We got a lot of guys involved. We told all our guys to be ready to play. Honestly, I’m proud of our guys. We gave it everything we had. I don’t think there’s anything else anyone could have done. They just had a couple more guys not cramp up, and not go out in the second half.”

    North Schuylkill (1-0) made big plays on both sides of the ball to spark the comeback. Quarterback Trevor Minalda was at the center of overcoming some challenging situations. On a 3rd and 20 play, Minalda found Collin McGee down the left sideline for a 45-yard touchdown pass that pulled the Spartans to within 27-20 late in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, Minalda once again came through, as he connected with Joey Flail for a 10-yard scoring strike that tied the game with 8:09 left. The senior signal caller completed 18-of-32 passes for 202 yards to go with three touchdowns and one interception.

    “It’s tough, and he’s in a tremendous pressure position,” North Schuylkill coach Wally Hall said of Minalda. “We put a lot of pressure on him because that’s the expectation we have for him. Through the pressure, and the good and the bad, you could see he’s obviously made plays.”

    Mount Carmel (0-1) saw its defense be on the field for 83 snaps against a talented offense. Whereas North Schuylkill came through on a couple of big fourth downs, the Red Tornadoes failed to convert fourth downs with the game hanging in the balance. Early in the 4th quarter, a 4th-and-1 play in the red zone was stuffed for a one-yard loss, and after Ryan Weidner recovered a fumble that gave some much-needed momentum to Mount Carmel with the score tied, a screen pass on fourth down from the Spartans’ 34 was blown up for a 5-yard loss.

    “I thought we were close there on that screen, we had it set up,” Darrah said. “The timing was just a little bit off. Obviously, that short run, those are two plays that if we would have converted, the game might have been totally different.”

    Following the second fourth-down stop, the Spartans put together an eight-play, 61-yard drive that resulted in the winning points. Jaxson Chowansky had a big part in it, as he rushed four times for 26 yards. Halford broke multiple tackles on his way to pay dirt against a defense that fought valiantly all night. North Schuylkill got a measure of revenge for a 25-17 loss last year on opening night that ended its recent dominance in the series.

    “It shows, you go Week 1, you play with tremendous emotion,” Hall said. “It’s a physical game. You’re making mistakes, and stuff like that, but it just shows how resilient our kids are. The halftime was really easy. We went through everything, went inside, and told them, You’ve got two quarters, do what you want with it. That was it, they made that choice.”

    Despite the defeat, there were plenty of bright spots for Mount Carmel. A fully healthy Cole Spears looked good. Spears was 13-for-22 through the air for 233 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. Xavier Diaz opened the scoring by going the distance on an 87-yard pass. Early in the second half, Spears hit Chase Balichik on a 33-yard touchdown pass that gave the Red Tornadoes a 27-13 lead.

    “I think we were just trying to take advantage of what they gave us,” Darrah said. “When we see man coverage, we feel real confident with our receivers being able to beat man coverage, and we were able to do that.”

    2023 Defensive Outlook: The defensive line should be the strength of the “D” with many of the guys back from last season. New faces in the back 7 are showing a lot of upside with sure tackler Michael Cliver leading that group with third-year starter Marc Cobbs at the corner.

    2023 Special Teams Outlook: Ryan Bocklet is on the radar as one of the top-kicking prospects. He will add punting duties this year. We expect a lot of touch-backs this season and field goals. Marc Cobbs is a speedy returner who has the ability to break one at all times.

    2023 Offensive Outlook: Hit hard by graduation we will attempt to grow as a unit with hard work and working together play after play

    2023 Defensive Outlook: With a new scheme and many new players, we will look us to stay true to our Keys cause turnovers, and swarm the ball

    2023 Special Teams Outlook: Using our kicking game to our advantage for field position and points will be a positive third phase for us this season.

    Coaches Comments: Jack has shown the ability to play on and off the ball as well as be attached and detached. He will be moving from outside to inside LB this season. Jack has trained very hard this off-season in the weight room and with speed development. He is a solid 235lbs and has become more dynamic. We expect him to be a leader for us on both sides of the ball this year! He currently has offers from UPenn, Brown, and Bucknell.

    2023 Outlook:
    Offense: Aaron Crossley, one of the top running backs in PA verbally committed to Lehigh University, returns to lead a strong running game after rushing for over 2,000 yards last season. The offensive line is a group that combines talent, measurables, and experience, while the quarterbacks and receivers have grown significantly, and continue to gain confidence in their playmaking abilities.

    Defense: The defense returns several players that gained valuable game experience last season. This group will be physical up front, experienced in the back end, and will run to the ball aggressively.

    Special Team: The special teams will continue to be a strength. All of our specialists received post-season recognition last season.

    2023 Offensive Outlook: We have a strong core returning on the offensive side. Tyler Gee returns as a 3-year starter. We are excited to return the majority of our receiving core from last year with Jaylen Andrews returning as a catalyst. Our offensive line is a group of returning veterans who have had a lot of starts but must step up as the primary group. We like our running backs and TE’s although they do not have a large amount of game experience at the positions.

    2023 Defensive Outlook: We return a two-time defensive MVP in Logan Bastian and a large amount of our defensive backfield. We lost a strong core, but are confident in the guys stepping up. the defensive line, led by Ethan French and Jeremiah Johnson should be strong.

    2023 Special Teams Outlook: Chris Cooley has to be our most improved player. We love his effort, energy, and work ethic. Our kicking game should show a large improvement. Tyler Gee returns for his fourth year as our punter. He has been a strong contributor in special teams in addition to his stellar quarterback play.

He was able to extend plays with his feet and get first downs when needed. He led our section play in every statistical category at QB and ranks amongst the tops in the state.

    Zac is set to have a spectacular senior year and looks forward to taking that next step in the program as a leader. He is getting interest from some FCS Schools, Division 2 and 3 programs at this time.

    2023 Outlook: For the 2023 season we expect to be much more competitive. We bring back a great group of experienced seniors as well as a skilled group of juniors/sophomores. Our schedule allows us to compete with more teams our size (Morrisville, George School, Jenkintown, ANC) with the addition of also facing a few 4A/5A schools. (Lower Moreland, Upper Moreland, Harriton, Hatboro Horsham)

    Offense: This year on offense we return 6 of our 11 starters from last year. We bring back three of our starting offensive linemen. All of our running backs this year also had the game-time experience last year. Our offensive line is the identity of our team, and we look to put a good skill group behind them in order to succeed on the offensive side this year.

    Defense: Defensively, we return 8 of our 11 starters from last year. On the defensive side, we look to play fast and physical and create turnovers. We stress open-field tackling, as well as maintaining gap responsibility.

    2023 Defensive Outlook: The defensive line should be a strength with four different players returning who started at one point during the 2022 season. A new group of talented players will need to step up in the LB corps and the secondary. Both these units were hit hard by graduation.

    Coaches Comments: It isn’t often that a Freshman QB guides his team to a district title, a school record 13 wins, and a state semi-final appearance. Jaden was able to do that and more. As a first-year starter, he accounted for over 19 TDs and 1,600+ scrimmage yards. Coachable, mature, student of the game that is scratching the surface of his talent and is poised for another big year. With his work ethic in the weight room and classroom, he truly is a complete player and model for our program. He will be our leader for years to come.

    Coaches Comments: We had high expectations for Ryker last fall and he achieved them with his all-state recognition. With his great speed, it makes him a true sideline-to-sideline linebacker. Besides his speed, Ryker is an incredibly hard worker in the weight room! Pound for pound is one of the strongest on the team. Finally, what stands out about Ryker is the physicality he plays on both sides of the ball.

    On defense, when Ryker hits a ball carrier the run is typically over but, what people won’t notice is on offense. Yes, Ryker is an absolute homerun hitter when he gets the ball in his hands, but what he can do on an elite level is block when he does not have the ball. A true team player, that will do whatever he can for his team. (Princeton commit)

    Bryce Caffrey had 417 rushing yards, 199 receiving yards and 8 total tds, and 15 total tackles

    2022 Offensive Outlook: The Falcons rushing attack will be led by a “running back by committee” approach and will be anchored by an offense line that returns starters Joey Quinter and Mason Kraichley. When Pottsgove goes to the air it will be behind the arm of QB Gabe Rinda with TE Riley Delp as his main target.

    2023 Defensive Outlook: The Falcons will lean on a strong front seven rotation to stop the opponent’s rushing attack. Aiding in the effort will be rising Sophomore LB Isaiah Rivera and returning starter and all-league player Riley Delp. Tyler Birch returns as a starter on the perimeter and will be instrumental in the Falcon’s run and Pass defense. The secondary will be highlighted by strong cornerback play with DeVon Grinnage and Tre Cook manning the position.

    2023 Special Teams Outlook: Pottsgrove will have Jake Gondos handling the kickoff duties and Cole Williams the XP and FG responsibilities while Bryce Caffrey will highlight his athleticism as the Punter for the Falcons while also being a return specialist in the kicking game.. Jake Palladino returns as a three-year starter handling all snapping for Pottsgrove

    Coaches Comments: Luke will have started every game of his career on both sides of the ball. One of the most physical runners and linebackers I have ever coached. Fast, strong, and a fantastic leader. Makes huge plays on both sides of the ball. Will break off a long TD run, then turn around and make a tackle-for-loss or big stop on defense. Doesn’t come off the field – had two blocked punts last season and played on all special teams. Extremely hard to tackle when he has the ball and made big play after big play for us last season and the past three years. Will leave Minersville as one of the best to ever play for the Battlin’ Miners.

    2023 Defensive Outlook: We have many returners back on the defensive side. We need to play good fundamental football and communicate on defense. We need to fly around the field using our speed.

    2023 Special Teams Outlook: We have both of your kickers back again which will help in the field position game.

    Coaches comments: Sam had a tremendous breakout season in 2022 and was a workhorse in our backfield.  He finished 2022 with 309 carries for 1829 yards (5.9 ypc) and 23 TD’s, which led Sam to be selected 1st Team All-State by several different publications. Sam also played some DE and some LB in 2022, and we look for him to excel on the defensive side of the ball at the position we need him at the most in 2023.  Sam is also an excellent student in the classroom and an exceptional leader who has done a great job setting the tone in the weight room this spring, and I look forward to seeing him as a leader for our team in 2023.

    Coaches Comments: Cyrus lives for kicking and it’s apparent if you ever come to a practice. He works non-stop to perfect his craft and we are the beneficiaries of his work ethic. I know that he would like to have more opportunities to kick deep and to kick more field goals, but he’s a team player who knows that’s not always the name of the game in high school football. I hope to be able to show off his strong and accurate leg more this season.

Turned into our most reliable tackler in the secondary and led our team in interceptions. We are expecting a big jump from Nova this year based on the work he’s done in the weight room. He limited offensive snaps last season until our last game when he finished with 68 yards receiving and 1 TD, we will expect him to be one of our primary receivers in addition to his secondary duties.

Xavier is involved heavily in our return game & is a threat to score any time he touches the ball. He has elite speed. He won the D4 2AA 100m dash in his first year running track in 2022 & then finished 10th in the 2023 indoor state meet (all classifications) in the 60m dash. He will be the X factor on the MCA offense in the 2023 season.

He’s a ball hawk and if the ball is in the air it’s his. This is evident in his recording of 4 interceptions on the season that was cut short due to an injury. He will be a big-time D-1 recruit.

    Deauntra Thompson-Smith named new Head Football Coach at Dobbins Vo-Tech

    On March 7th, Deauntra Thompson-Smith was named the new head football coach at Dobbins Vo-Tech. 

    Coach Thompson-Smith took time to talk to EasternPAFootball.com about his new role. 

     

    What is your previous coaching background?

    I served as the Defensive Coordinator for South Philadelphia High School for three seasons, Olney High school for one season, and Northeast (MD) High School from 2014-16 seasons. I also served as a Special Team Coordinator for Red Lion Academy. I also have head coach basketball experience. 

     

    What does this new role mean to you?

    This role is super important, I believe Dobbins can return to the great program it was in the past. I am glad to help heal the community with sports and bring a sense of community and pride to the area. 

     

    What is your focus as you build a staff?

    My focus is to bring on great character coaches beyond the field. When looking for coaches, I want them to inspire change on and off the field. Help players develop into great adults and prepare them for secondary life. Each coach comprehends Xs and Os and also pushes players to new levels. The culture of being a productive community member and college ready for sports and academics.  

     

    What is your philosophy as a coach? 

    My Philosophy for the program is SWAG this is how we model as coaches and develop players. 

    • Successfully- On and Off the field success 
    • Winning- Winning in the classroom and Practice 
    • Achieves – Little victories make great wins
    • Greatness- Next Step in life preparedness

    Youth Leadership Code of Focus:

    • Respect: Time, People, and Property
    • Honesty: The ability to identify truth within Self
    • Righteousness: Leaders within the COMMUNITY
    • Loyalty: Challenging myself to be better than Yesterday
    • Consistency: Showing up every day, routines of greatness

     

     Where did you go to school (high school and college)?

    I went to Appoquinimink High School in Middletown, Delaware. I completed my Undergraduate at Delaware State University and my Master’s at Neumman University. 

     

    Did you play football in high school and college?

    Yes, I played high school football and started for 3 seasons. I was recruited to play at DSU and enrolled. I battled injuries and had an academic scholarship, so I decided to leave playing and focus on coaching. 

     

    Do you teach and if so, what subject do you teach?

     I did teach. I taught African American history, World History, US History, and Civics. I am currently the Assistant Director of Relationships First, Which is the Restorative Justice Department for the School District of Philadelphia. The work that we are doing is changing school climates to better educational experiences for the whole building. 

     

    What are your thoughts about the league you will be playing in?

    I believe that the league is getting better and developing players. I would like to think Dobbins will win the league, but that’s because I’m the head coach. Dobbins will make some noise this year

  • Dennis Shaw named new Head Football Coach at Chester High School

    Dennis Shaw named new Head Football Coach at Chester High School

    On February 16th, long-time assistant coach, Dennis Shaw was named the new head football coach at Chester High School. 

    Coach Shaw took time to talk to EasternPAFootball.com about his new role. 

    What is your previous coaching background?

    “I have been an assistant coach at Chester for seven years. I recently moved into the role of assistant head coach in 2022.”

    What does this new role mean to you?

    “ The new role means to me that I have put in the work to be deserving of the position. Also, that I have acted in a way to be trusted in the role.”

    What is your focus as you build a staff? 

    “My focus is still solely on the development of the players, athletically and academically. Our staff is already established and there will be no significant changes. This staff has been a part of the revitalization of our program. No need to change anything there.”

    What is your philosophy as a coach? 

    “My philosophy as a coach is always to control the ‘controllables’. Energy, effort, and detail are what we control as players and coaches. If we attack those aspects with 110% effort, the results will be in our favor.”

    Where did you go to school?

    “I attended and graduated from West Catholic High School.”

    Did you play football (in high school and college)?

    “I played RB for West Catholic. I ran for 3,000+ yards in my career, ranking in the top five in school history. In 2006, I led West Catholic to the first championship in 49 years, the start of a dynasty.”

    What are your thoughts about the league you will be playing in?

    “Honestly, I believe that we have outgrown the league that we play in. No disrespect to anyone else in the league, because there are some good competitors there. However, last year we won the league in a run-away. I wish we had more teams or could get into the central league like every other public team (besides the four in our league) in Delaware County. It’s strategically been set up to keep certain teams out for reasons we’re all aware of, but that has to change.”

  • Interboro’s Yale-bound Abu Kamara is the Maxwell Club’s PA Player of the Year

    Interboro’s Yale-bound Abu Kamara is the Maxwell Club’s PA Player of the Year

    DREXEL HILL — Abu Kamara held the awards in his hands, heard the applause, and shook the hands of countless people, many of whom he never met before, walking up to congratulate Interboro’s 6-foot-1, 205-pound senior running back and defensive back.

    Kamara was chosen Pennsylvania Player of the Year by the prestigious Maxwell Football Club on Sunday at Drexelbrook, in Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania at the Maxwell Club’s annual Mini-Max high school awards dinner.

    What Kamara held close and dear was something but a handful knew. At around 4 that morning, Kamara was fumbling for his alarm clock in the dark to wake him—for a 90-minute training session.

    It’s a practice he has done every weekend since 2022. He’ll wake up around 4 each morning, and goes to weight training at 5, sometimes by himself, sometimes with his coaches, and he kept motivating himself by carrying player-ranking lists that didn’t include him.

    Kamara was a little tough to miss in 2022.

    The only son of parents from Sierra Leone, Kamara shattered every Interboro single-season school record and numerous Delaware County records this past season in leading the Bucs to a 10-4 overall record and to the PIAA District 1 Class 4A championship.

    In 2022, Kamara capped a season for the ages by rushing for a school and county record 2,832 yards against defenses designed solely to stop him, with a school and country record 42 total touchdowns (38 rushing, two pick-sixes, and two receiving) while averaging 9 yards a carry. As a strong safety, he made 70 tackles, nine tackles for losses, two sacks, and had a single-season school-record 11 interceptions.

    All of that, plus a weighted 4.5 GPA, has gotten me into Ivy League Yale.

    “I look back to the hard work, and the times a lot of schools didn’t call me back or forgot about me as motivation,” Kamara said. “It’s what motivates me to do better. I know things won’t get easier. I’m ready for it.”
    Abu’s mother’s hands were shaking when it was announced at the Maxwell Club awards dinner that Abu was named PA Player of the Year. It’s from Salamatu Kamara, Abu’s mother, that he learned the power of a strong work ethic.

    That’s translated to the field and beyond.

    “That’s the kind of kid Abu is, he silently takes things personally where he always feels disrespected a little bit and that grinds him to work even harder,” Bucs’ coach Dennis Lux said. “It’s the same thing academically. That’s why he was the PA Player of the Year because Abu is the full package.”

    Sean Wasson, Interboro’s defensive coordinator, and former Bucs’ star, goes way back with Abu, to the Termites, a local youth Interboro football team.

    “Abu is by far the most mature kid I’ve coached since a young age,” Wasson said. “He’s not only athletically gifted, on top of that, but he also makes everyone around him better. Once Yale gets a hold of him, Abu has a really good chance to make some noise, especially in the Ivy League.”

    On Friday, when Lux introduced Kamara to announce his college choice, there was a twinge of emotion in the coach’s voice. It’s the way Kamara has touched everyone associated with the Interboro program.

    “Abu is a special kid to us, and I’ve known him for a long time, so seeing a kid doing it the right way because I know how much the coaching staff put into him, and it’s how much he gave back to us, it’s why it was emotional,” Lux said. “It will be very hard for us to find another kid like Abu coming through Interboro, but hopefully he put through to a lot of kid’s heads that it is possible if you grind and work hard, and you are a full person, with academics, community, and athletics, those are the kids that we are trying to build.

    “He wanted to make an impact on the community. He wanted to the program of Interboro in the future. He’s just the total package. When you would go to one of our practices, you would see Abu working with freshmen and sophomores in drills. It’s why I’m so happy for him. He did everything the right way.

    “I became a big Yale fan.”

  • Bethlehem Catholic High School Announces the Hiring of Tyler Ward Head Football Coach

    Bethlehem Catholic High School Announces the Hiring of Tyler Ward Head Football Coach

    First reported by D11Sports.com.

    Bethlehem Catholic High School is pleased to announce the hiring of Tyler Ward as head football coach. Ward, a native of Charlottesville, Virginia, began his passion for football at an early age at The University of Virginia football games. This passion led him to Lehigh University, where he was a 2014 graduate, team captain, and All-Patriot League performer while winning Patriot League Championships in 2010 & 2011.

    He began his coaching career at Franklin and Marshall College under the direction of John Troxell, the current head coach of Lafayette. He then returned to the Lehigh Valley to coach at his alma mater from 2016-19. Ward then transitioned to high school football, where he could have a much more significant impact on student-athlete development. He spent two (2) years in Savannah, Georgia, at Savannah Country Day School, where he was able to help lead them to their first region championship in forty years as an offensive coordinator.

    After two (2) seasons in Savannah, he moved to Birmingham, Alabama, where he became the offensive coordinator and assistant head coach at Oak Mountain High School. His staff led Oak Mountain to the second round of the 7A Alabama playoffs for only the second time in school history.

    According to Bethlehem Catholic athletic director Chris Domyan, “Bethlehem Catholic is extremely excited about Ty Ward joining our community and leading our football program. He returns to the valley after coaching at the highest level (7A) of Alabama high school football. He has coached and developed some of the country’s most elite student-athletes resulting in scholarships for all levels of college football. We believe that he will be incredibly successful in his tenure at Becahi mostly evidenced by his desire and a strong commitment to join the Becahi family. He exemplifies Christian values and will lead our young men on the field, as well as in the classroom, and most importantly, in life.”

    Ward is returning to the valley with his wife, who is a native of Bethlehem.

  • Discussing Districts, Classifications, and Playoff Brackets

    Discussing Districts, Classifications, and Playoff Brackets

         When the PIAA State Football Championship season comes around there are always many conversations regarding the title subjects above and of course, how they affect the teams that are to play.

         Let me state at the outset that greater minds with greater resources than I have; have worked, and are I am sure always working/considering, the subjects; and we see tweaking of particularly the playoff brackets year-to-year.  I wish I had answers instead of further discussion but that is not the case.

         Geography and population are the two major constituents in district and classification considerations.

         Pennsylvania is basically a big rectangle about 170 miles times 283 miles with practically three straight sides (north, south, & west) and the eastern boundary dictated by the course of the Delaware River.  In the far northwest of the northern border with New York State, Erie County forms sort of a slanted chimney that interrupts the straight northern PA border and extends our state to Lake Erie.

         This geography is one major consideration in the breakdown of districts and of course, the cost and risk of accidents during travel is a major consideration in setting league schedules and also playoff sites.

         There are 67 counties in PA and their borders are generally anything but straight in geographic terms.  Many borders are determined by river or creek streams, particular roads or highways, mountains, and political issues among the counties.  Sizes vary.  Lycoming County in District 4 is our largest by area, Philadelphia County, which is a combination city-county government, our only such combination, is the largest by population.  It is in, and in fact, IS District 12.  Montour County is the state’s smallest land area county and is also in District 4.  Cameron County in District 9 is the least populated of our counties.

         Our Districts are comprised of combinations of various counties (67) plus one city that is not a city-county government, Pittsburgh.  So, 68 units make up our District structure.  Their size geographically and the population is also diverse and an issue of note.

         Our football champions are generally based on east versus west opponents per classification.  East Districts are 1, 2, 3, 4, 11 & 12 while the West are 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, & 10.  Six districts in each of East and West.

         Since about 2008 the PIAA has tried to rebalance the various numbers of teams in certain classifications for playoffs by placing a district on the opposite side of the bracket which skewers the pure East-West.  This is no distraction to the school and the students, fans supporting it I am sure.  If you win a state championship, no matter for either East or West, hooray!

         However, in 2019 St Joe’s Prep (Philadelphia) and Archbishop Wood (Bucks County) winning “West” titles seem incongruous.  Likewise, Bishop Guilfoyle (Altoona, PA) winning the class 1A title in 2014, 1015, & 2016 for the “East” is likewise strange.

         In my records, I like no note these differences with asterisks and notes.  There seems to be no answer to the riddle because if you shifted to North/South there would still be a great disparity in the number of schools in each classification within each district.  I will list each district in east-west format with the district followed by a number of schools in this order 1A-2A-3A-4A-5A-6A.

    Eastern Districts

    District 1 – 3 – 2 – 0 – 8 – 24 – 33.   Total 70 schools

    District 2 —        2 – 7 – 6 – 10 – 6 – 2.  Total 33 schools.

    District 3 —        3 – 7 – 14 – 23 – 26 – 19.  Total 92 schools.

    District 4 —        7 – 10 – 10 – 6 – 0 – 1  Total 34 schools.

    District 11 –        6 – 9 – 10 – 6 – 6 – 10  Total 47 schools.

    District 12 –        1 – 1 – 6 – 7 – 14 – 11  Total 40 schools.

     

    Western Districts

    District 5 –         6 – 4 – 1 – 0 – 0 – 0   Total 11 schools.

    District 6 —         14 – 15 – 3 – 3 – 2 – 3  Total 40 schools.

    District 7 —         30 – 24 – 20 – 23 – 18 – 6  Total 121 schools.

    District 8 —          0 – 2 – 0 – 2 – 1 – 1   Total 6 schools.

    District 9 —          12 – 6 – 3 – 2 – 0 – 0  Total 23 schools.

    District 10 —         11 – 7 – 15 – 2 – 1 – 2  Total 38 schools.

         Here we see the disparity in the number of schools per district, a high of 121 in one to a low of 6 in another.

         Would a merger of the two smallest districts (8 and 5) with others and a shift to 10 districts, not 12, help?  Again, I am sure greater minds than minds has considered it.  Both small districts (8 and 5) are in the now “West”, so a re-casting of the remaining 10 districts would be necessary or there would be 4 in the west and 6 in the east.  And scheduling and various league ramifications would also be necessary.  Naturally, feelings or politics would be involved in such modifications.

         It is interesting that the classifications of the schools in 6 classes are fairly consistent with the total schools in each classification.  These are 1A – 95; 2A – 94; 3A – 88;  4A – 92;  5A – 98; and 6A – 88.

         The problem is the vast disparity among the various districts in each class.  Only District 7 in the West has a good number in most classes with their shrinking 6A class the least due to continuing population decline in many communities.

         Only three districts are “big” in school numbers D7 – 121; D3 – 92; and D1 – 70.  Midrange districts include D11 – 47; D6 & D12, 40 each; D10 – 38; D4 – 34; and D2 – 33.  District 9 drops down to 23 total schools and then 11 of D5 and 6 of D8.

         Would a shift to 5 classifications instead of six help in this regard?  Here again, the shift from four to six classes for 2016 was a move to “better balance” the various size schools.  Would ten districts and 5 classifications help?  I certainly do not know the answers.

         I still like a competition between East and West as the two final opponents, otherwise, what could you call them?  Side “A” versus side “B” has no cachet.   Again North and South would erase the former status and start a new arrangement after 35 established championships; not favorable to my thinking.

         Many conversations regarding the annual championships has centered around two schools; two very successful schools, St. Joe’s Prep in 6A from D12 and Southern Columbia in 2A from D4.

         Back years ago such conversations were heard about Central Bucks West in 4A of D1 and Berwick of 3A in D2.  Very successful programs draw comments from many and the discussion falls into categories of favor and disfavor as well.

         But something I think you would find in most successful high school football programs would be excellent and proficient coaching, school and community backing, sufficient facilities, dedicated athletes, and a number of excellent, skilled, and/or talented players as well.  The last is the hardest to come by without all of the first-named assets.  Winning draws.  The object of playing is to win.

         Despite the current excellent records of the Hawks and Tigers, it will not be forever.  Ask C B West, Archbishop Wood, Berwick, Mount Carmel, and other schools that once seemed to be “unstoppable”, or a forever dynasty.

         As to the playoff brackets, the biggest talking session this year was a big gap in the Western D5 bracket when Erie Cathedral Prep had a month off (10/28 – 11/25) which included two weeks of byes with opt-outs by the opposition of D8 and D6.  The opt-outs are perfectly acceptable by policy and Cathedral Prep, who was a strong 8-2 with the losses to out-of-state powers lost to eventual state champion Pine-Richland 21-14.  You cannot be sure that the score would have been different without the month off; but perhaps?

         District participation from 1988 through 2022.

         A lot of discussions has been made since the PIAA allowed the inclusion, actually fostered the inclusion it has been said, of D12 in the PIAA in 2004 (Public league only) and 2008 (Phila Catholic League).  There is no question that a difference was felt since the entire District was admitted in the latter year of 2008.

         First, there is also no question that the D7 concept of the whole district being one league, the  WPIAL, has made it the dominant district in championship participation and the number of titles won.  It has appeared in every state championship from 1988 – 2022, and in many cases filled the entire side in the four state titles years of 1988-2015.  Only in the second championship in 1989 did D7 have only one entrant – Upper Saint Clair that beat D3 entrant Wilson West Lawn 12-7.  From then on no less than two entries per championship and many times 3, or the entire west side of 4.  Through last year (2021) D7 holds 102 state titles.

         As D12 is East (in most cases) it did not affect D7 in participation when it came to the fore.  At a quick look, it appears that D12 holds only a slim 1-game edge over D7 – 6 to 5 in all classifications combined.  {2022 results evened this to 7-7 D12 vs D7}.

         Naturally, the districts most affected by D12 would be the Eastern districts, and mostly in the higher classifications.  From 2004 through 2007, no District 12 public league team made it to the championships.  That all changed with the inclusion of the Phila Catholic League in 2008.  Since 2008 D12 has been represented in every championship, of course not in every classification.

         But unlike D7, who has had 45 different teams (2022 included) vie for a state championship, D12 in its 17 years of participation in the PIAA has sent only 5 different teams until a new 6th entry for 2022.  Having only 1 class 1A and 1 class 2A it is in the larger classifications that D12 has had the most impact.  Three-A and 4A when it was four championships a year, and 6A and 5A now which is 6 titles each year is where D12 shines.

         But as to a district dominating, I point out that as a district, D12 is 16-13 through 2022 in all classifications combined.  At .552 this is the 2nd best winning percentage of all districts, and first is D4 at 18-13 .581 and next is D11 at 11-9 .550.  District 7 is 56-50 and .529, and finally, last above .500 is D2 at 11-10 and .524.  All the other Districts are .500 or under in Championship wins and losses.

         I think that D12 has adversely impacted Districts 1, 3, and 11 to the most degree.

         In the first 16 years of Chips 1988 through 2003, District 1 ruled the Eastern 4A bracket with 11 appearances in 4A to D3 with 4 and D11 with 1.  The four years of PPL D12 only {2004-2007} swung to D11 who placed three teams in each of the 2005 and 2006 championships and was the 4A rep three of the four years.

         With the D12 entrance of the PCL, there have been no years from 2008 through 2021 without a PCL representative, which of course is also a D12 rep.  The only PPL team yet to have appeared is Imhotep Charter School which has appeared in four different classifications a total of 7 times.

         Conversely, both District 1 and District 11’s participation in the State finals dropped considerably.

         D1 has appeared only 3 times in the 2008-2022 (15-year) period.  D11 has also only appeared 3 times and has not been seen in 7 years, last appearing in 2015 when Parkland narrowly lost to Pittsburgh Central Catholic 21-18  in the last 4A game where it was the largest class.

         District 3, the largest eastern district and second largest overall to D7 in teams was among the first districts to play for both East and West in certain classes.  It is hard to determine what effect this had without a study of the district since 2008 with its wins and losses.  However, it seems to be an all-win, or all-loss district when you look at its 6 classes’ performances.  In 6A it is 0-4.  In 5A 0-2.  In 4A 3-4, the most balanced class.  In 3A 1-11.  Then it flips the other way in the two smallest classes, 2A 4-0; and 1A 6-0.  Undefeated in 2A and 1A with three different schools in each class establishing those records.

         District 11 has yet to appear in 6A or 5A but has a 4A record of 2-4, and winning margins in the other three classes – 3A 3-2; 2A 4-3; and an unbeaten 2-0 class 1A mark.

         The other two Eastern districts; 2 and 4; have been mostly smaller classification centered with only 2 class 6A and 5 class 5A in D2 and in D4 no 5A and only one 6A in Williamsport.  They would be somewhat less affected by the primary larger school strength of D12’s inclusion.

         District 2’s greatest participation in states was the first 10 years of Chips 1988-1997 when Berwick was a national power.  But they were represented every year in that period, sometimes with two reps per year.  After that, it was scattered appearances in 2007, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014 & 2018.  In 2019 D2 had two entries for the first time since 1997; Dallas lost and Wyoming Area won.  That was their last participation now absent last three years.

         District 4 is basically being carried by a single entity presently, Southern Columbia in 2A.  The District still houses the winningest team in the state, Mount Carmel with 866 wins (2019 last noted).  But, first in 1A and now in 2A Southern Columbia carries the District with 21 championship appearances and 13 titles claimed, both records, or course.  It is only fair to mention that they also hold the record for the most losses in championship history at 8.  In 1A they are 6-7, and in 2A they are 7-1 for their 13-8 overall and have 6 consecutive 2A titles, another state record.

         Only 5 other teams from D4 have made the finals.  Also in 2A, Mount Carmel was 4-1 in five state title matches.  South Williamsport was 0 for 2, once in 1A and once in 2A.  Montoursville lost in a 2A final; Selinsgrove won its only final in 3A and Jersey Shore lost its only final in 4A.

         There is no doubt that D12 has made a major impact on the scene.  However, it has primarily been in the top two classes both when they were 3A and 4A and now 5A and 6A.  The Philadelphia Catholic League has been dominant since its 2008 PIAA entrance over the Phila Public League in general; in their annual Thanksgiving rivalries, and in playoffs.  But, as with Southern Columbia and Mount Carmel in D2; it has basically been two teams at finals from D12 causing all the commotion.  These were originally St. Joe’s Prep and Archbishop Wood.

         Another factor is the PCL includes schools not in the city of Philadelphia proper but in Bucks, Montgomery, and Delaware counties.  If this were not so, Archbishop Wood’s fine record would be in D1 as would LaSalle’s (Montgomery County) as well.  With the inclusion of the new Neumann-Goretti in 3A for 2022, D3 now has had six schools participating at States; not many for a 40-school district.

         St. Joe’s Prep in 4A and 6A is 7-2 in 9 appearances.  Archbishop Wood in 3A & 5A is 6-2 in eight finals.  Imhotep of Public League football in D12 has appeared in 2A, 3A, 4A, & 5A.  Imhotep is 1-6 in seven appearances.  LaSalle had appeared twice in 4A and is 1-1.  Likewise, West Catholic appeared twice in 2A and is also 1-1.  Neumann-Goretti this year lost a mighty defensive battle with Belle Vernon of D7, 9 to 8.  NG was the 5th PCL and 6th overall D12 team to appear at States.

         Everyone that is interested in Pennsylvania high school football is aware of the decline in general of the sport in PA.  The numbers are down.  There are a great number of football size and speed individuals in schools that are not playing football.  The reasons are likely many and diverse.  The risk of injury is certainly a consideration for some parents even though the “concussion problem” seems to have cooled down.

         But the local school near me offers football, baseball, basketball, bowling, cross country, golf, ice hockey, Lacrosse, soccer, swimming, tennis, track, and wrestling.  Not to mention a flock of clubs and other extracurricular activities if you so desire. There are a great number of other choices to stay active in or out of sports.

         For years I have tried to count the players on the sideline when attending games or even seeing them on a video stream.  A lot of schools, including big classifications, do not have packed sidelines. And small-school-wise, I have counted some single-digit sideline troops along with maybe 12 to 15, or so.

         A factor unaccounted for in anything I have read is the vast number of children from other countries that have immigrated to the United States.  Many Asian and Hispanic, along with most other countries, do not have football in American terms.  Their football is soccer to us.  As noted in the recent World Soccer publicity, the U S is an underdog in that sport.  However, our schools’ soccer programs are taking many potential football players for certain.  And many times also provide a kicker for a football team as well, when scheduling allows.

         Reviewing what I said above about the sports and clubs available at the local high school, how possibly does a school promote and highlight its football program?  Some schools seem capable of doing it.  However, how in the Devil is it possible?  With all the other sports and clubs, along with the worsening security issues around schools and games, how do you promote football?

         And, when it comes to the state championship playoffs, how can we level the field?  Perhaps the move from four to six classifications did help that some as the average margin of victory the last two years was 13.2 (2021) and 16.8 (2022); down from ranges such as 32.3 (2004) or 27.5 (2015).  It seems 1999 provided the most competitive championships with an average MOV of 7.0 and four scores of 14-13; 21-7; 13-6; and 27-21.

         I am afraid that the sport of football is in for a tough road in Pennsylvania given all I have observed and somewhat some of what I have said here.  Hopefully not in the time allotted to me as I am well over the hill in age to most readers.  I saw my first high school football game in October 1951.  I loved it from the start and that love grew year by year; this year being my 72nd season.

         I also very much like the EasternPAFootball website and all through the year it is one of perhaps 10 sites that I visit every single day, all year, never an exception.

         I wish all the writers of comments on the Forum here best wishes and good health and safety in 2023.  I read them all although I seldom comment, as everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I am thankful for the interest shown in high school football.  About 250 days to high school football!!

    MECHANICSBURG, PA — Nothing was going to stop them. From the first meetings in January to summer practice, to the first snap in balmy Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, nothing was going to get in the way of the St. Joseph Prep Hawks from winning another PIAA Class 6A state championship but time.

    That time came Saturday night when Samaj Jones, Josiah Trotter, and the Hawks unloaded 365 days of frustration out on Harrisburg, 42-7, in the PIAA Class 6A state championship at Chapman Field at Cumberland Valley High School.

    Jones completed 9-of-10 for 262 yards and four touchdowns, while the West Virginia-bond Trotter made a game-high 13 tackles—11 in the first half.

    The usually reserved Hawks’ coach Tim Roken even got a little emotional addressing his team after the victory, and there was a reason why.

    “It was a long 356 days and there were a lot of sleepless nights, thinking about how we ended last year,” he said. “This is a group that made it a goal in January to make sure we finish the mission this time. These seniors made sure to play for last year’s seniors, and these underclassmen made sure these seniors went out the right way.

    “I’m so proud of our coaches, how hard they work and the sacrifices they made. I told our guys last night when things weren’t going well early on, this group is relentless, and we saw that in the first game against St. Thomas Aquinas (in Ft. Lauderdale). We wanted to sharpen the edge and make sure we were playing our best football at the right time of the year.”

    Jones felt he had to retrace his steps. He knows exactly what he was doing, what he did, and where he spent the final minutes of last year’s PIAA Class 6A state championship.

    Jones, the St. Joe’s Prep 6-foot-1, 210-pound gifted junior quarterback, watched from the bench in 2021 when the Hawks lost to Mount Lebanon in the state finals. Jones was pulled from the game because the last time he threw a pass in 2021, it was aimed at the back of the Mt. Lebanon player’s helmet in frustration.

    The memory burned in his mind for a year.

    He was building for an explosion.

    “This is everything I wanted, and I never wanted anything more than this. There were a lot of doubters out there,” Jones said. “There is a drastic change from where I was last year, that kid watching from the bench feeling sorry for myself, to who I am now.

    “This was a statement. I have a ring now—and I earned it. It’s the best feeling in the world.”

    It was the seventh state championship in the last decade for the Hawks, who are 7-2 in title games (winning in 2013, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2022, losing in 2017 and 2021). The Hawks (12-1) have now won four of the last five 6A titles and five of the last seven since the PIAA instituted the Class 6A system in 2016.

    The St. Joe Prep seniors graduate as three-time state champions in four years, with the 2021 loss to Mount Lebanon (35-17) serving as powerful motivation to get back this year.

    Trotter had a difficult time last year with the state title loss. He had a difficult time watching the seniors walk off the field the last time without a state title—which is becoming a rarity at St. Joe’s Prep. Against Harrisburg (11-3), Trotter was a tackle machine, with his name called by the PA announcer on every other play.

    “That bothered me losing last year and seeing our seniors walk off the way they did. It’s why I wanted to get back,” Trotter said. “I thank God for what we went through. We really felt like we had a fire; that we had something to prove. That fire came out in the first game of the season. That loss from last year didn’t send off the seniors in the right way. I wanted to send the seniors off the right way this time.”

    On the first play of the game, Jones bolted through the middle of the field for a 65-yard touchdown, igniting the Hawks’ offense towards 420 yards of total offense and scores on their first five drives.

    “That first play set the tone, it was a missed assignment on our behalf, but you can’t have MAs against teams like that,” Harrisburg coach Calvin Everett said. “This moment right here is really going to make us better moving forward. We’re a really young team. We have to grow from this and use this to come to this offseason and build, and build, and build. Hopefully, we’re going to be ready for the moment when it comes again.”

    Harrisburg’s lone touchdown came against the Hawks’ second-team defense when Shawn Lee Jr. hit Kyle Williams for a 66-yard touchdown pass with 4:28 to play.

    The Cougars’ first chance to score came with 7:51 left in the third quarter after Harrisburg’s Raytel Bryant intercepted Jones. Harrisburg drove to the Hawks’ four, though turned the ball over on downs when Hawks’ linebacker Nick McGlynn sacked Lee at the 10.

    The Hawks turned that into a 42-0 lead when Jones hit Owen Garwood with a 16-yard touchdown pass with 10:49 left to play and the game well over.

    The game was actually over by halftime.

    St. Joe Prep scored on its first five possessions, surging out to a 35-0 lead, scoring on five of their first 16 plays. Its drive chart read: 1 play, TD; 8 plays, TD; 2 plays, TD; 2 plays, TD; and 3 plays, TD.

    By halftime, the Hawks had outgained Harrisburg, 311-127, averaging 18.29 yards a play to Harrisburg’s 3.85.

    On the Hawks’ first 11 plays, they scored three times, and gained 200 yards of total offense. After Samaj Jones’ 57-yard touchdown pass to Elijah Jones with 5:56 left in the half, the Hawks were averaging 19.5 yards a play. Of the Hawks’ first 13 plays, they only faced third down twice, one on a third-and-22 that Jones converted on a 44-yard completion to David Washington.

    Samaj Jones was 7-for-7 for 263 yards and three touchdowns. Washington caught four of those passes for 123 yards, averaging 30.8 yards a catch while the game was somewhat competitive.

    But it’s a game and a season that was really over before it started.

    Nothing was going to stop Samaj Jones, Josiah Trotter, and St. Joseph’s Prep from winning the PIAA Class 6A state title in 2022 but time.

    That time bomb imploded Saturday night.

  • 2022 PIAA State Championship Class 4A Preview

    2022 PIAA State Championship Class 4A Preview

    This year christens a new venue for the PIAA state football championships—Chapman Field at Cumberland Valley. This year’s state championships also welcome four teams that have never been to the state finals before, which is in the seventh year under the 6A system.

    Only two defending state champions return this season, Southern Columbia going for its sixth-straight title (and all-time high 13th overall) at Class 2A, and undefeated Aliquippa (13-0) looking to become the first team in the storied history of the Quips to become repeat state champions, and in the process become the first undefeated Quips state champion.

    There is only one rematch from last year’s state finals, which again will feature Aliquippa, in the Class 4A game against District 3 champion Bishop McDevitt.

    Four teams are here for the first time: District 7 champion Union (Class 1A), District 8’s Westinghouse (2A), and the Class 3A state title will involve two new teams to the finals, District 7 champion Belle Vernon against District 12’s Neumann-Goretti.

    In Class 6A, Philadelphia heavyweight St. Joseph’s Prep will be making its seventh-straight championship appearance, going for its fourth state title in five years, and its seventh state title in 10 years. The Hawks top the list of large school state championships (6—two at 4A and four as the 6A) since the PIAA instituted the state high school playoff system in 1988. Since the 6A system was incorporated in 2016, St. Joe’s Prep has been involved in every Class 6A state championship.

    Last year, there were three undefeated teams in the state finals, this year, just two, Westinghouse (14-0) and Aliquippa (13-0). The Quips also carry the state’s longest winning streak at 24 games.

    Of the 12 teams playing in the state championship this weekend, District 7 (Union, Aliquippa, Pine-Richland, and Belle Vernon) leads the state with four representatives, followed by District 12 (Imhotep Charter, Neumann-Goretti and St. Joe’s Prep) and District 3 (Steelton-Highspire, Bishop McDevitt and Harrisburg) with three each. At the same time, District 4 (Southern Columbia) and District 8 (Westinghouse) have one each.

    Class 4A Thursday 7 p.m.

    (D-3) Bishop McDevitt (12-1) vs. (D-7) Aliquippa (13-0)

    This could be the best game of championship week. Aliquippa is actually a Class 1A school, playing way up at 4A based on its success. The Quips won their first Class 4A state title last year, 34-27, over McDevitt. This is Aliquippa’s ninth trip to the state finals (two as a 4A, two as a Class 3A, and five as a Class 2A). Both quarterbacks return, junior Quentin Goode for the Quips, and sophomore Stone Saunders for McDevitt. Both arrived at this rematch after dominant semifinal victories. Aliquippa went off on Allentown Central Catholic, 31-10, behind 5-10, 190-pound sophomore tailback Tiqwai Hayes, and juniors John Tracy and Cameron Lindsey. Goode has thrown for 1,909 yards and 22 TDs, while Hayes has rushed for 1,911 yards and 32 TDs this season. The Quips are playing for history, and they know it. No Aliquippa team has ever repeated as state champions and no Quip state championship team has gone undefeated. These Quips can achieve both.

    But they’re going to have to go through McDevitt, which smoked Crestwood, 35-0, in the semifinals behind Saunders’ three TD passes, 140 yards rushing from 5-8, 180-pound senior tailback Marquese Williams, and 95 yards receiving from 6-foot, 185-pound senior Rico Scott. Saunders has thrown for an amazing 3,416 yards and 49 TDs, while Williams has rushed for 1,378 yards and 26 TDs. Defensively, McDevitt smothered Crestwood for 26 yards of total offense. The Crusaders will be making their second-straight finals appearance. This is the sixth time the Crusaders have reached the state championship (1995, 2010, 2011, 2013, 2021, and 2022). The Crusaders have one state championship, beating District 7 Burrell, 29-0, back in 1995 as a Class 2A. Since then, McDevitt has been to the finals three of four years as a Class 3A (2010, 2011, 2013), reaching the state finals for the first time last year as a 5A and back again standing in the way of the Quips and history this year.

    State bound! Bishop McDevitt Dominates Crestwood, Advances to Championship Game

    READING -There was a lot at stake heading into last night’s game at Don Thomas Stadium. The game featured stars on both sides of the ball. The winner would advance to play in the PIAA Class 4A State championship game next weekend at Cumberland Valley High School. 

    Last night, Bishop McDevitt’s defense was dominating. McDevitt held Crestwood to 26 total yards. On offense, Stone Saunders led the Crusaders’ charge throwing three touchdowns. That was the good. 

    But instead, we saw the field turning yellow because of all the penalty flags thrown. 

    As the game went on, the game got chippier. Both teams combined for 28 penalties for 267 yards. But end to end, McDevitt blanked Crestwood 35-0 to advance to a second straight PIAA Class 4A championship game. They get a rematch with Aliquippa, who defeated Allentown Central Catholic 31-10.

    “This is what we have been battling all year for,” said McDevitt’s Head Coach, Jeff Weachter. “Aliquippa has always been on our minds. Most people in the state were saying it’s going to be a rematch, so I guess it will be.”

    “They have been focused all year and we have played one game at a time,” said Weachter. “It’s a short week and we will enjoy this tonight, but we have to get back to work tomorrow.”

    Going into the game, Crestwood needed to control the clock to keep McDevitt’s offense off the field. They did that in the opening drive. The Comets ate up over six minutes of the first quarter clock, keeping the ball away from the Crusaders’ high-octane offense. 

    Crestwood faced a fourth-and-eight on McDevitt’s 32. An incomplete pass by Jaden Shedlock caused the Crusaders to take over on downs.

    “Its a tough offense when you are not used to it,” said Weachter. “Our players never saw it before but we adjusted to it. After the first drive, our defense did a good job stopping them.” 

    Stone and company began to move the ball down the field. They converted on fourth down twice to keep the drive alive. But the Comets, Cole Kakalecik, and Magnus Bibla specifically, came up with a big sack on Saunders on third down. Facing fourth-and-17 on Crestwood’s 30, Saunders calmly stepped up in the pocket and threw a laser to Rico Scott in the end zone for a 30-yard pass. Gustavo Garcia’s kick was no good and it was 6-0 McDevitt at the end of the first quarter.

    Crestwood would struggle to move the ball the rest of the half and McDevitt struck twice in the second quarter. Saunders hit Tyshawn Russell for a seven-yard touchdown pass and Marquese Williams found paydirt from 15 yards out.

    At halftime, The Crusaders lead 20-0.

    McDevitt got the second-half kickoff and didn’t waste any time. Scott followed his blockers down the sideline for the 81-yard kickoff return. Just 16 seconds into the third quarter and the score was McDevitt 27-0. The Crusaders finished the scoring with a Saunders to Russell 15-yard touchdown pass.

    How good was McDevitt’s defense last night? 

    After Crestwood’s first drive of the game, they didn’t give up another first down until about ten minutes left in the game. They held the Comets’ star running back, Noah Schultz, to ten carries for one yard and only allowed five rushing yards. 

    With 1:24 remaining in the game, things got really chippy. After offsetting penalties and time running out, McDevitt’s Head Coach Jeff Weachter thought it would be best for his team to head to the locker room after the game and not shake hands with the Comets. McDevitt’s coaching staff did shake hands with the Comets. 

    McDevitt’s stars of the game

    Stone Saunders passed for 230 yards and three touchdowns

    Marquese Williams rushed for 140 yards and one touchdown

    Rico Scott caught seven passes for 95 yards and had an 81-yard kickoff return 

    Tyshawn Russell had nine catches for 83 yards and two touchdowns. 

    The defense held Crestwood to 26 total yards of offense.

  • Samaj Jones Leads St. Joseph’s Prep Over Parkland

    Samaj Jones Leads St. Joseph’s Prep Over Parkland

    BETHLEHEM – The Prep offense was unstoppable in the first half scoring on seven consecutive possessions. Samaj Jones led Prep’s attack today scoring four touchdowns (two touchdowns and two passing) in a 52-12 win Saturday afternoon in a PIAA Class 6A quarterfinal game at BASD Stadium. 

    With the win, Prep faces Garnet Valley out of District 1, who defeated Central Bucks West 35-7. 

    The first quarter was back-and-forth on the first four drives. Prep’s running back Erik Sanchez scored on a 42-yard run followed by a Gryffin Mitstifer 39-yard field goal. It was 7-3 St. Joseph’s Prep with 7:37 left in the first quarter.

    Jones answered on the next drive scoring from 12 yards out. The Trojans moved the ball again but settled for a field goal attempt. Mitstfifer hit a 41-yard field goal with 2:03 left in the first quarter and the score was 14-6 Prep. 

    “Defensively we let them move the ball down the field a lot in the first half,” said Head Football Coach Tim Roken. “We were able to hold them to field goals for a lot of those opportunities.”

    On their third drive, Khaseem Phillips scored on an eight-yard run extending Prep’s lead to 21-6 with 58 seconds left in the first quarter. 

    “Khaseem has been carrying us most of the year and we have had some injuries at the position,” said Roken. “He works hard for these opportunities and made the most of them today.” 

    In the second quarter, Jones took over. He threw two touchdown passes. One pass was to Isaiah West for 23 yards and David Washington Jr. caught a seven-yard touchdown pass. 

    But it was Jones’ highlight reel run that stood out in the second quarter. He leaped over a defender and went 42 yards for the score. Just like that, it was 42-6 with 2:37 remaining in the first half. 

    Jones finished the night passing for 210 yards and rushing for 94. His offensive line gave him time to make plays.

    “He has great command of the offense and today our offensive line played really well,” said Roken. “We were able to move the ball down the field offensively.” 

    Sanchez got his second rushing touchdown of the first half. He powered in from five yards out with 1:33 left. 

    At halftime, Prep led 49-6. Now with a running clock, in the second half, the Trojans needed a big play to start of the second half.

    They got it. Parkland’s Nakhi Bullock took the second-half kickoff and ran it back 95 yards for the touchdown. Jack Harrison caught a Luke Spang pass for the two-point conversion. Prep led 49-14 with 11:43 left in the third quarter.

    “We didn’t start the second half off right and had to hit the reset button,” said Roken. “Doesn’t matter what’s on the scoreboard, we have to play to a standard.” 

    Prep scored on their next possession. This time, Ryan Miller’s 28-yard kick pushed Preps’ lead to 52-13.

    With a running clock, the final score of the game came late in the third quarter. Parkland’s Harrison caught a 26-yard pass from Spang for the touchdown. 

    Spang finished the night passing for 235 yards and Bullock caught eight passes for 125 yards.

  • Wyomissing Continues District 3 Class 3A Dominance with 63-7 Romp

    Wyomissing Continues District 3 Class 3A Dominance with 63-7 Romp

    Wyomissing continued its district dominance with a 63-7 thumping of West Perry in District 3 Class 3A championship Friday afternoon at the Spartans’ A-Field.

    Six different players rushed for at least one touchdown: Matt Kramer had 155 rushing yards and three scores, Charlie McIntyre 160 yards and two scores, Drew Eisenhower 82 yards and a score, Jeremiah Diaz 80 yards and a score, Ryker Jones 49 yards and a score, and Will Delp 33 yards and a score.

    In total, the top-seeded Spartans (12-0) rushed for 618 yards to capture their fourth consecutive district championship.

    “We’ve created a dynasty at Wyomissing,” senior running back Matt Kramer said. “It’s like a tradition. I told my guys today that we’re the three-time defending champs and it’s almost like every year it’s our tradition to do it, but we still got to earn it.

    “We came out here and earned it today.”

    All of the fast and athletic Spartans running backs run behind a massive offensive line headed by Penn State recruit J’Ven Williams (6-5, 295 pounds) and Pacen Ziegler (6-4, 275). Junior Caleb Brewer (6-5, 275) was out of Friday’s game with an injury but holds offers from Army, West Virginia, Syracuse, Cincinnati, Illinois, Rutgers, UConn, Princeton, Duke, Pitt, Western Michigan, Toledo, Houston, Boston College, and Maryland.

    Somehow his absence didn’t matter.

    The third-seeded Mustangs (11-2) made it seem like it would be a game after scoring on a 46-yard pass from Marcus Quaker to Ian Goodling gave them a 7-0 lead with 7:53 left in the first quarter.

    But McIntyre took the second play of Wyomissing’s first drive 73 yards for a touchdown just 53 seconds later.

    The Spartans then forced a four-and-out and went 47 yards in 10 plays while chewing up about 5:00 of clock before Kramer pounded in from the 4 with 48 seconds left in the first to give Wyomissing the lead.

    Kramer then darted for a 63-yard touchdown to make it 21-7 with 7:51 left in the second quarter and scored from the 18 just 2:12 later.

    Drew Eisenhower scored his touchdown from the 11 with 23 seconds left in the second quarter to give the Spartans a 35-7 lead at the half.

    Jones scored his 41-yard touchdown with 8:34 left and McIntyre scored on a 63-yarder with 6:09 left in the third.

    Delp scored from the 1 with 10:03 left in the game and Diaz took his sole carry 80 yards to the house with 3:48 left in the game.

    Wyomissing attempted only two passes out of its Wing-T formation orchestrated by longtime and legendary head coach Bob Wolfrum, who became the winningest coach in District 3 history with his 349th career win.

    “I get that they say I’m the winningest,” Wolfrum said. “But I don’t win any of the games. I’ve been here a long time. You don’t get to be the winningest unless you’re old to start. We have consistency within the staff. We all have each other’s backs and it’s easy to plan what we do because we’ve done it for so long.

    “We really are in good shape just because of the tradition and consistency of our coaching staff. The kids expect to win because we’ve been doing it for so long. We’re in good shape as far as that goes.”

    Quaker finished with 190 passing yards and 61 rushing yards and Ian Goodling had 128 receiving yards for the Mustangs.

    West Perry moves to 4-7 overall and 0-2 in district championships; Wyomissing moves to 40-18 and 11-8 in championships.

    Wyomissing travels to District 4 champion Danville in the first round of states next week.

  • Haverford School caps historic season with Inter-Ac title in 21-19 win over Episcopal Academy

    Haverford School caps historic season with Inter-Ac title in 21-19 win over Episcopal Academy

    Haverford School couldn’t practice on Friday afternoon because of the rain, so the Fords took their final season walkthrough indoors in their gym.

    It’s when coach Brian Martin pointed something out to his team. Up there, adorned on the gym wall hung a gold banner with maroon numbers on it under the heading Inter-Ac Football Champions. The last year was 2015, the last time the Fords won the Inter-Ac, and the last time they went undefeated.

    Martin swore another year needed to be added.

    On Saturday, it was, when the Fords got by Episcopal Academy in a classic, 21-19, at EA, for Haverford School’s first Inter-Ac title since 2015.

    The Fords matched that by going undefeated for the first time since 2015, landing at 10-0. The loss ended EA’s season at 9-1.

    The last time Haverford School and Episcopal Academy met undefeated came in 1970. The Fords won that game, too.

    Haverford School got a career-best three-touchdown performance by Chase Knox, a crucial fourth-quarter interception in the end zone by senior cornerback Wills Burt and a truckload of memories that will last for decades.

    Knox’s performance offset the huge game by EA’s TJ Cadden, who scored three touchdowns himself, two on plays of 90 yards or more, with one coming on a 98-yard touchdown reception and another on a 90-yard kickoff return that gave the Churchmen new life when they were seemingly out of the contest.

    “We knew we were the better team all the way around,” said Knox, who is getting looks from the Navy and Delaware, and what promises to be a growing number after they see his EA game film. “It was a crazy environment. It was big for our school and our team, and we really wanted to do this for each other, especially our group of seniors.

    “To be honest, TJ was a big problem for us. His speed took over. We started to get a little comfortable after we went 21-7, but TJ wasn’t satisfied and he took off. Our defense played well, but we got hurt by big plays, and we made some big plays ourselves.”

    Haverford noticed Episcopal played a lot of man-to-man defense. The Churchmen kept playing man and never adjusted, and it’s something the Fords took advantage of.

    Two of Church’s three touchdowns came on the same play, his other receptions came underneath on slants.

    “Coach Martin pushed on us the history all week long and we were playing for our alumni and everyone who wore the maroon and gold before us,” Knox said. “On Friday during practice inside the gym, coach Knox let us know that we were going to put another year up on that banner.”

    But Cadden kept getting in the way.

    The game was seemingly put away when Knox scored for the third time, on a 9-yard scoring strike from Gavin Wright with 10:47 to play, which put Haverford up, 21-7. But Cadden took the ensuing kickoff 90 yards and it was a game again.

    The Churchmen were driving to tie the score with the inside of eight minutes to play when Fords’ linebacker Lou Atkinson tipped a pass from EA quarterback Na’Rome Rayborn. Burt made a diving interception off the deflection in the end zone.

    It was a bittersweet ending for Burt, who played his last football game. He went out a winner.

    “I had my guy covered when I saw Rayborn roll right,” said Burt, a lacrosse commit for national powerhouse Virginia. “I saw TJ Lamb open free behind me, so I faded back. When Rayborn threw it, I closed on my guy. Lou tipped it and I dove for it.
    “It’s the last football game that I’ll ever play in my life. I dreamed about playing at EA under the lights growing up as a kid. I live within walking distance of EA and went to EA until third grade when I transferred to Haverford School. I had an image in my head of everyone storming the field after the game, and it’s something I’m going to be telling my kids about someday.”

    Once again, as the game closed within four minutes, Episcopal Academy came charging back again, this time behind senior backup quarterback Nick Wolff, playing for the injured Rayburn.

    With 1:15 left, Wolff hit Cadden for a 9-yard score, but since the Churchmen missed the extra point on their previous touchdown, they were forced to go for a two-point conversion to tie the game.

    Wolff faked a pitch and tried to run it in, but was stopped inches short of the goal line.

    “We always talk about brotherhood and these guys were definitely an example of that,” said Martin, who’s been teaching at Haverford School for 20 years, been coaching at the school for 18, and finished his third year as head coach. “To be honest, I thought we would be successful. I didn’t think that we would go undefeated, but this senior group was special. The kids fed off how special they were.

    “They were a close-knit group and they’re great kids all around. They’re a special group. They wanted to do it the right way. I’m so proud to be their coach.”

    Burt said everyone counted out the Fords the whole season. The seniors believed an Inter-Ac was going to happen because they believed in themselves.

    “I’ve never been part of a team like this,” he said. “It’s a team that’s been so close through the years. We all knew the goal that we wanted. We’re all brothers. Remembering how close we were is what I’ll remember most.”

  • Mount Carmel Area defeats North Penn-Mansfield 60-20

    Mount Carmel Area defeats North Penn-Mansfield 60-20

    MOUNT CARMEL – Letting an overwhelming underdog hang around can be dangerous. Better to start fast and not let the underdog stick around and gain any sense of hope of an upset.

    That’s exactly what Mount Carmel did on Friday. Fresh of its first undefeated regular season since 2008, top-seeded Mount Carmel made sure it didn’t let North Penn Mansfield hang around for very long in Friday night’s District 4 Class 2A playoff opener. After turning the ball over on downs in the red zone on its first possession, the Red Tornados proceeded to score on nine of their next 10 possessions, including its next four drives in the first quarter, as the Red Tornados used quick scoring drives to quickly pull away from the Panthers and advance to next week’s district semifinal with a 60-20 win.

    The Red Tornados will take on Hughesville at home next week after the fifth-seeded Spartans went on the road and knocked off fourth-seeded Bloomsbury 12-3.

    “I thought we executed well on offense and our defense played really well,” said Mount Carmel coach John Darrah. “They’re kind of a hurry-up team and like to throw the ball a lot but we were able to put up a lot of points, and I thought our younger guys got a lot of valuable experience in the game, too.” 

    “It’s a special place down here, they’ve got a great thing, and we’ve been here before so we knew what to expect but nothing prepares you,” said North Penn Mansfield coach Chris Olson. “We knew we were going to have to come in here and play hard and we did for a little bit but then things started to fall apart a bit and we couldn’t right the ship tonight. They’re going to do some special things this year.”

    Oddly enough, the Panthers ended up with more first downs (19) in the game than the victorious Red Tornados (17). But just six of North Penn Mansfield’s first downs came in the first half, as a majority were in the second half after the mercy rule was invoked.

    The main reason why Mount Carmel had so few first downs despite scoring 60 points was due to its quick scoring drives, which were the order of the night. The Red Tornados scored seven touchdowns, including six in the first half, on drives that lasted under a minute. Only two scoring drives took more than a minute, with the Red Tornados’ longest scoring drive of the night checking in at just 1:35.

    Three touchdowns were single-play drives, including their first score, when Xaviar Diaz got loose for a 36-yard touchdown run to put Mount Carmel up 6-0 at 6:45 to go in the first, after the Red Tornado defense forced North Penn Mansfield into a three-and-out on its ensuing possession after Mount Carmel had turned it over on downs.

    After another three-and-out, Cole Spears capped a four-play drive with a 17-yard screen pass to Matt Schicchitano to put Mount Carmel up 12-0. That drive took 1:14, and it was Mount Carmel’s second-longest drive by time of the game.

    One more three-and-out later by North Penn Mansfield gave the Red Tornados the ball near midfield, and this time, Luke Blessing burst loose up the middle for a 49-yard touchdown run. Later on in the first quarter, Michael Farronato found the end zone as he took a handoff on a counter play and went into the end zone from 13 yards out, making it 26-0 before the end of the opening quarter.

    Mount Carmel’s lone major miscue of the night gave North Penn Mansfield its only points of the first half, as a mishandled handoff was picked out of midair by Ethan Dick, who was in the right place at the right time, and he returned it 40 yards for a touchdown in the first minute of the second quarter.

    But the Red Tornados answered right back less than a minute later, as Garrett Varano capped a two-play drive with a 34-yard touchdown run, the first of two rushing touchdowns on as many carries on the night for him. Later in the second quarter, Varano would run it in from 21-yards out to cap a three-play drive, the second-longest of the night for Mount Carmel in terms of plays. In between Varano touchdowns, Blessing took a screen pass from Spears and turned it into a 39-yard touchdown reception.

    “Garrett is a really versatile player,” said Darrah. “He made some great moves, even had one called back as well, so he did a really great job in the open field and stayed on his feet and had a lot of success tonight.”

    “That’s the biggest difference we run into, is we don’t have the strength to keep up with some of these bigger teams like Mount Carmel,” said Olson. “They’re bigger, faster, stronger. We can scheme all day but the bottom line is if you don’t have the guys to execute, then it’s going to be a long night like it was tonight.”

    Spears, who completed 11-of-15 passes for 217 yards and the pair of touchdowns, was particularly efficient on the screens, as Mount Carmel got a good chunk of its passing yards on the evening with just short passes. 


    “That’s something (screens) that we wanted to work on coming into the game so we just decided to let it rip,” said Darrah. “It’s something we’ve been practicing all year and I thought we did a nice job of executing them tonight.” 

    The Panthers did manage a pair of scores in the second half. Kohen Lehman took a short pass from Karson Dominick and turned it into a 36-yard touchdown reception with 9:14 left in the third quarter. Lehman, playing in his final high school game, wrapped up a stellar career with 144 all-purpose yards and the touchdown.

    Later in the second half, Dominick found Cooper Shaw for a four-yard touchdown pass, putting a cap on his night, which featured 150 yards on 18-of-33 passing.

    Although it was mainly the second string and JV players that played most of the second half, the Red Tornados didn’t take the foot off the gas peddle by any means. On the first play from scrimmage of the second half, Michael Kimsal broke off a 61-yard touchdown run, the third single-play scoring drive of the game for Mount Carmel.

    Later in the third, freshman quarterback Gavin Marshalek found a wide-open Tait Adams for a 65-yard touchdown pass on his only throw of the game.

  • Steel-High wins wild one over West Perry, 53-34

    Steel-High wins wild one over West Perry, 53-34

    Steelton-Highspire and West Perry offenses average over 40 points per game.

    It was likely that a different aspect of the game would have to be the difference in deciding the Mid-Penn Capital division title game between the Steamrollers and Mustangs Saturday afternoon at a sunny War Veterans Memorial Stadium in Steelton.

    That proved to be the case as the teams combined for 87 total points Saturday.

    It ended up being the Rollers’ winning the turnover battle 3-1, including a sensational one-handed interception by defensive back Daquan McCraw, and Steel-High pulled away for a 53-34 victory after jumping out to an early four-score lead.

    McCraw’s interception came after the Rollers (6-0, 8-1) already held a 14-0 advantage, and although he returned it to the 24, a penalty gave Steel-High the ball at the 50. It didn’t matter.

    Alex Erby hit Jaeiron Perry and Durrell Ceasar for gains of 23 and 25 and Ronald Burnette scored from the 5 to make it 21-0 with 4:10 left in the first quarter.

    “It kind of came out of nowhere,” McCraw said of the interception. “I had a mindset the whole game that if the ball was in the air, I’m going to be the one to go get it on offense and defense. I ended up getting that pick and it changed the whole momentum of the entire game.”

    Tylishaun Parker recovered the short opening kickoff and Erby found Perry for a 10-yard touchdown four plays later. After Steel-High forced the Mustangs (5-1, 9-1) to punt, the Rollers embarked on an eight-play, 74-yard drive capped by Burnette’s 7-yard TD.

    Following the score after McCraw’s interception, the Mustangs turned it over on downs and Erby immediately hit Perry for 42 yards down to the 3. Burnette tacked on another to make it 27-0 with 1:47 left in the first quarter.

    West Perry answered with a quick-strike 55-yarder from Quaker to Derek Snook to make it 27-7 just 21 seconds later.

    Erby hit Perry for a 30-yard TD with 8:24 left in the first half to extend the lead to 34-7.

    Derek Snook caught a 26-yard pass and had a 20-yard run for the West Perry offense on the next drive, which Tucker Ziegler finished with a 1-yard plunge to make it 34-14 at the 4:45 mark.

    Then McCraw made his second one-handed catch on a 60-yard bomb from Erby just 1:13 into the third quarter and the Rollers were back up by 27.

    McCraw wasn’t wearing gloves today, switching it up after he’s had some problems with drops occasionally this season.

    “Everybody’s been in my ear about it,” McCraw said. “You know, I just took it into consideration. I was like alright, let me see what it’s like without the gloves today. It just happened so quick. As soon as it hit my hands I just knew that was my ball.”

    The Mustangs didn’t go out without a fight.

    Marcus Quaker hit Ian Goodling for a 43-yard TD with 5:27 left in the third and found him again from 29 yards away to make it 41-27 just 2:17 later.

    But Erby, who finished with 380 passing yards and four TDs, and his receivers were relentless through the air and Burnette, who finished with 104 rushing yards and four TDs, continued to churn out tough yardage on the ground for Steel-High.

    Erby hit Ceasar for a 30-yard TD with 44 seconds left before the fourth.

    Quaker scored a 3-yard rushing TD with 8:26 left in the game, but Burnette finished a 52-yard drive with a 2-yard TD to seal a 53-34 victory for the Rollers with 5:40 left.

    Steel-High will face Fairfield in the District 3 Class 1A championship with the winner moving on to states.

    “We want to prepare the right way for all of our opponents,” McCraw said. “Of course we do want to come out on top next week, make it farther down the road in playoffs and into states.”

    The Mid-Penn Capital title is back in the Rollers’ hands after falling to Boiling Springs last year.

    The loss is a bitter one for West Perry, which will be the No. 3 seed in the District 3 Class 3A tournament. The Mustangs have steadily improved from 2-5 to 5-6 to 9-1 the past three seasons.

  • Wyoming Area outgunned by Southern Columbia, 55-28, in High-Octane Matchup

    Wyoming Area outgunned by Southern Columbia, 55-28, in High-Octane Matchup

    FRANKLIN TWP. — Wyoming Area was 2 yards away from making Friday night’s non-conference game against Southern Columbia a one-score game. Then the Tigers’ Braeden Wisloski struck on back-to-back plays changing the entire complexion of the contest.

    The All-State running back and Maryland recruit stripped a Warrior’s ballcarrier on the 2-yard line ending what was looking like a touchdown drive. On the very next snap, the former PIAA 100-meter champion got the corner on a sweep and raced 98 yards for a touchdown.

    Wyoming Area, which came in having won four of its last five games, never recovered. The Tigers won a first-half track meet to open a big league before eventually beating the Warriors, 55-28, at Jim Roth Field.

    The two-play swing was emblematic of how the night went for both teams. Wyoming Area couldn’t get out of its own way, turning the ball over four times in the first half despite churning out nearly 280 yards of offense. Southern Columbia was opportunistic, turning those four turnovers into 20 points as it opened a 27-point lead at the half.

    Wyoming Area wasn’t outclassed by any means. It was just outplayed. Aaron Crossley eclipsed the 300-yard rushing mark for the fourth time this season, running for 312 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 35 carries. It was the most rushing yards against Southern Columbia since Steel Valley’s Nahjier West ran for 288 yards against the Tigers in the 2016 PIAA Class AA championship game.

    “We’re not happy with the outcome, but there were some positives,” Wyoming Area coach Randy Spencer said. “There were positives for sure, but you can’t turn it over four times and not tackle well.”

    “We tried everything we could, and we played the way a Warrior football team should play,” said Crossley, who went over 1,800 rushing yards this year. “If we don’t win there’s always frustration. But we just have to see what we did wrong and fix those things and move on to Pittston next week.”

    Southern Columbia was leading Wyoming Area, 27-14, when the Warriors began a march toward the Tigers’ end zone. On second-and-goal, quarterback Michael Crane was stood up on the 2-yard line, and before officials could blow the play dead, Wisloski ripped the football from Crane’s arms.

    On the very next snap, Wisloski took a wing-back sweep (which Southern had already scored on earlier) to the right side. He raced past the Warriors’ secondary and coasted into the end zone. All of a sudden, instead of being down just a score, Wyoming Area stared at a three-score deficit.

    “We felt confident that if we go in there, it’s a one-score game, and we’re right there punch for punch,” Spencer said. “That’s a key point in the game where it was a turn of momentum.”

    “Those turnovers, maybe that’s a good sign because we just haven’t been getting them this year,” said Southern coach Jim Roth, the state’s career wins leader. “But that’s heads up from Braeden, if you’ve got the guy stood up, see if you can’t rip the ball out of there.”

    The three-score cushion which turned into four and then five was enough to save the Tigers from a Wyoming Area run game it never figured out. Crossley’s second run of the game went for an 80-yard touchdown. He was over 100 rushing yards before the end of the first quarter. He was at 200 before the end of the first half. And Crossley averaged nearly 10 yards per carry last night.

    He did it by running past defenders, like on his 80-yard score. He did it by bullying his way through arm and shoulder tackles to turn 3-yard runs into 10-yard runs. And he did it by exploiting the gaps his offensive line was able to create for him.

    “Our linemen just block tremendously,” Crossley said. “The creases they’re able to find and the work they do has escalated over the season.”

    “Our No. 1 concern was our run defense and we struggled at that again,” Roth said. “(Crossley) had something to do with that. He’s a heck of a player. He looked good on film, but until you see him in person, it’s totally different. He was tough to bring down and we didn’t tackle him well.”

    But not even Crossley’s huge night could overcome the early mistakes by the Warriors. Jake Toczylousky intercepted the first pass of the game and returned in 24 yards for a touchdown. The first of two lost fumbles by Wyoming Area led to a Jack Biermass 1-yard touchdown run. And Wisloski’s strip led to another score.

    In between, Carter Madden ran for a 42-yard touchdown. Louden Murphy scored from 64 yards out on a sweep. And Wisloski, after picking up 10 yards on a run, pitched to Murphy who raced the final 56 yards to the end zone.

    Because of the scoring of the lateral play, in which Wisloski gets credit for a carry for 10 yards and Murphy gets no rushing attempt but 56 rushing yards, at one point Murphy had one carry for 120 rushing yards and two touchdowns.

    But the Tigers were explosive like that all night. They had just 13 offensive plays in the first half but totaled 309 yards. And that’s despite five of those plays resulting in a total of 0 yards. Southern finished with 405 yards of offense on just 29 offensive plays.

    Conversely, Wyoming Area had 445 yards on 65 snaps.

    “Braeden had the wheels turning tonight,” Roth said. “Stealing the ball on the 2-yard line, then pitching the ball? We don’t coach pitching the ball like that, but it looked like it was scripted because he pitched it and Louden was right there and he took off with it.”

    Southern’s turnover prowess Friday was a sight for sore eyes on the coaching staff. The Tigers entered the game minus-4 in the turnover department this year. They’re now even after Friday’s game.

    And it led to an important bounce-back win after Southern lost for the third time this season last week against Mount Carmel.
    “This has probably been our worst year for turnovers in quite a while,” Roth said. “Maybe that’s a good sign.”

    Pottsville Defense Leads the Way in Big Victory Over Wilson Area

    EASTON – Pottsville went on the road Saturday afternoon against Wilson Area and picked up a 39-6 win in a Schuylkill/Colonial Gold Division game at Smith Field. 

    Joey Palko led the Crimson Tide defense recovering two fumbles and an interception. “Palko did a great job today for us,” said Head Football Coach Tom McGeoy. “He was in the right spots and made plays.”

    On the opening drive, Pottsville’s Parrish McFarland rushed for 29-yards on six carries to set up his one-yard touchdown run with 7:06 left in the first quarter. Christian Alvarez’s kick gave the Crimson Tide a 7-0 lead.  

    Early in the second quarter, the Crimson Tide covered 90 yards in nine plays starting with 11:10 left in the first half. Amaree Bainbridge took the direct snap and capped off the drive when he broke free for a 44-yard touchdown run. With 6:23 remaining in the first half, Pottsville led 13-0.

    “We have been using the wildcat the last few games,” said McGeoy. “He made a nice run, broke a tackle, and was gone.”

    On the Warriors’ next drive, Pottsville’s Tejay Allen stepped in front of a Jeramy Cressman pass and went 42 yards for a pick-six. 

    The Crimson Tide capitalized on another turnover. Bainbridge stripped the ball and recovered the fumble on the 49. It took one play. Allen hit Palko, who caught the ball over the defender and went 51 yards for the score.

    “That catch over the top of that player was incredible,” said McGeoy. “He stole that interception out of the guy’s hand in the wind. It was a great play.”

    It was 26-0 Crimson Tide with 4:37 left in the half. The Defense wasn’t done in the first half. Palko recovered a fumble on the big hit by Zach Ott and they took over on the 36. 

    “Zach had a nice game and he did a good job on his one-on-one matchups,” said McGeoy. “We wanted to keep the pressure on them and we did.”

    Wilson’s Alexander Rooks got a big sack on third down and forced Pottsville to punt.

    At halftime, the Crimson Tide led 26-0.

    The Crimson Tide came out of halftime on a mission. McFarland had a big run of 48 and capped off the eight-play, 82-yard drive going in from 12 yards out. They led 32-0 with 8:31 left in the third quarter. 

    “Parrish had a nice game rushing for us today,” said McGeoy. “He has had a good stretch and is a guy we look to get us going offensively.”

    Selinsgrove rolls at home

    SELINSGROVE – The Selinsgrove Seals football team bounced back from last week’s road loss against Mifflinburg by routing visiting Central Mountain in their return to Harold L. Bolig Memorial Stadium on homecoming night.

    Selinsgrove jumped out to an early lead and never looked back as they picked up a 42-6 victory over the Wildcats in the Selinsgrove football program’s 1,000th game.

    Tucker Teats led the way for the home Seals offensively, scoring the game’s first three touchdowns in the opening half.

    “We shifted some guys around offensively to have a lot more one-way guys tonight. I thought it brought the intensity up. Our guys looked fresh and the o-line did a great job opening some holes for Tucker (Teats).” said Selinsgrove coach Derek Hicks on his junior running back’s a strong performance.

    Teats scored twice in the first quarter and again in the second quarter on runs of two, 25, and 50 yards to put Selinsgrove up 21-0 early in the game’s second quarter.

    “We put a new tight end in (Andrew Sassaman) and he was setting the edge really good on outside runs.” said Teats, crediting his performance to his teammates. “We switched our lineup to get a few more one-way players on offense. They got a great push all night. Credit to the line. I love ‘em”

    Teat’s second rushing score came as a result of some strong play on special teams by Selinsgrove. On Central Mountain’s third punt of the night, senior defensive lineman Spencer George burst through the line and blocked the kick, resulting in a Selinsgrove recovery at the Central Mountain 11-yard line, setting up a short field.

    “We’ve stressed special teams from day one,” said Hicks of his team’s ability to excel in all facets of the game. “That was Spencer George’s second block of the year. Those guys are doing a great job on execution. I’m very happy with the performance all around.”

    Quarterback Gavin Bastian added a rushing score of his own late in the opening half. With just 52 seconds remaining in the half Bastian kept the ball on a QB sneak at the goal line to score on a one-yard run. Bastian produced a stellar performance passing the ball as well, going on a streak in the opening half where he completed six straight passes, finishing 7-for-10 for 72 yards in the opening half of football.

    With a 28-0 lead following halftime, Selinsgrove received the second-half kickoff and didn’t take long to score again. Just two plays into the second half, senior halfback Garrett Paradis scored on a 58-yard jaunt to put the game into the mercy rule early. The score gave Selinsgrove a comfortable 35-0 cushion.

    The Seals tacked on one more score in the game, as yet another senior running back found the endzone when Philip Gesumaria ripped off a 71-yard rushing score. In all, eight different ball carriers ran the ball for the Seals, who scored six rushing touchdowns in the game.

    Central Mountain was able to avoid the shutout late, scoring a rushing touchdown of its own. Late in the fourth quarter, the Wildcats put together their best drive of the night, going 49 yards on 12 plays on a drive that culminated in a rushing score by backup quarterback Thomas Sprague.

    Sophomore running back Jake Weaver led the Wildcats in rushing, carrying the ball just four times for a whopping 47 yards – all in the second half. Freshman back Carnell Noone didn’t trail Weaver by much, toting the ball eight times for 42 yards.

    Central Mountain starting quarterback Brady Myers posted solid passing numbers in the opening half before being removed from the game with an injury just before halftime. Myers completed his first four passing attempts and finished the night 4-for-5 for 19 passing yards.

    Central Mountain dropped to 0-7 on the season with the loss and looks to bounce back on the road this coming Friday against Garden Spot (5-2).

    Selinsgrove looks to use this victory as momentum following a 19-0 road loss last week against Mifflinburg.

    “Mifflinburg played us really well last week, but I’m happy with the way our o-line was clicking,” said Coach Hicks. “Tucker (Teats) ran well, Mark (Pastore) looked comfortable, even some of his incompletions were good balls that were just off our guys’ fingertips. I think this was the most comfortable he’s looked all year.”

    Selinsgrove (5-2) heads all the way to Hollidaysburg (1-6) this Friday night to take on the Golden Tigers.

  • Berwick’s stingy defense leads it to win over Wyoming Valley West

    Berwick’s stingy defense leads it to win over Wyoming Valley West

    KINGSTON — Rowan Slabinski didn’t really have to do much on his second-quarter interception Friday night. The Berwick defensive linemen in front of him were the ones putting the pressure on Wyoming Valley West quarterback Lucas Zdancewicz.

    But from his spot just behind that defensive line, Slabinski found the football floating in his direction after Zdancewicz tried fruitlessly to get rid of it before being driven into the Spartan Stadium turf. Slabinski cradled the football and casually jogged into the end zone untouched for the exclamation point on a brilliant defensive performance.

    Berwick’s starting defense allowed just 12 yards of offense Friday in a 41-13 win which got the Bulldogs back to .500 ahead of a brutal four-game stretch to close out the season.

    “Coming off a loss the kids were anxious to get back out there and prove themselves,” Berwick first-year coach Mike Bennett said. “They were challenged from top to bottom this week.”

    That challenge came after the Bulldogs’ defense allowed more than 400 yards of offense, including 212 on the ground, in last week’s loss to Wilkes-Barre. So Berwick went starters against starters for much of practice this week in order to get everyone prepared for Friday night’s rivalry game.

    Berwick’s defense spent so much time in the Valley West backfield, the Spartans could have charged it rent. Berwick’s didn’t just shut down Valley West’s run game, it eliminated it entirely.

    Against the Bulldogs’ first-team defense, 14 of Valley West’s rushing attempts went for 1 yard or fewer. Ten of those 14 carries resulted in negative yardage.

    “We were angry after last week,” Slabinski said. “All week we stepped it up to play like this. We stuck to our assignments and won the game.”

    Whatever those assignments were, they must have involved breaking through the Spartans’ offensive line like a game of Red Rover. But instead of sending one person at a time, it was the entire Berwick defensive front breaking through, like on Slabinski’s interception.

    Zdancewicz began his drop-back on that ill-fated second-quarter play and almost immediately had pressure in his face. His only hope to avoid a sack was to flip the ball away in desperation. The only problem with that plan was Slabinski was the only one in the area to catch it.

    That’s just what the senior did. And with nobody in front of him to slow him down, Slabinski waltzed into the end zone. The defensive score was the reward for a defense that was relentless through the first 24 minutes of Friday’s game.

    “I didn’t really do much,” Slabinski said. “The ball just kind of came to me. It was great to see our defensive linemen get after it like that.”

    “I think it’s always our plan to be aggressive and be physical like that,” Bennett said. “I don’t think we got to it as much last week, so we wanted to get back to doing that this week. That’s who we are.”

    Slabinski’s score gave Berwick a 35-0 lead at halftime, invoking the mercy rule and a second-half running clock. It was the perfect complement to an explosive Berwick offense which didn’t run many plays Friday but made the ones it did run count.
    Berwick ran 17 first-half plays. Four of them produced touchdowns. Five more produced first downs. Drey Wilk scored on the Bulldogs’ third offensive snap when he took a Wildcat snap, raced up the middle, then cut to the right sideline to finish off a 40-yard touchdown run.

    Berwick needed just two plays on its next drive to score when Matt Lonczynski hit Wilk in stride for a 34-yard touchdown pass. Wilk has turned into a dynamic offensive threat for the Bulldogs this year. His rushing touchdown was his fourth of the season. His receiving touchdown was his seventh.

    Wilk had just one touchdown rushing and receiving a year ago.

    “He’s a playmaker and we like to do different things to get him the ball,” Bennett said. “He’s very special and he’s really just hitting his stride right now.”

    Ethan Lear added to Berwick’s 13-0 lead when his 37-yard run set up his own 8-yard scoring run. Bo Sheptock ripped of a 65-yard run of his own in the second quarter to set up his 3-yard touchdown run.

    By the end of the first half, Berwick was averaging better than 16 yards per carry and nearly 15 yards per snap. At the same time, Valley West had just 2 yards rushing on 17 attempts and 19 total yards in the first half.

    “We felt like there were some big plays there for us to make, but we wanted to grind it down and run our offense,” Bennett said. “If they were going to give us certain things, we were going to take it. It’s those regular plays that our playmakers can stretch from a 5-yard play to a 35-yard play, and that’s what makes those guys special.”

  • Harrisburg defense leads the way in big victory over Cumberland Valley

    Harrisburg defense leads the way in big victory over Cumberland Valley

    Two heavyweight Mid-Penn Commonwealth opponents reared their heads at each other Saturday afternoon at a sunny Severance Field in Harrisburg.

    Harrisburg defeated Cumberland Valley 30-14 behind a staunch defense and a plethora of rushing talent with different strengths.

    Temple commit and shifty Kyle Williams rushed for 137 yards and two touchdowns, bruising Mahkai Hopkins rushed for 138 yards and a score, and the Cougars’ “dark side” defense held the undefeated Eagles to 21 points below their season average.

    “The dark side,” Williams said about the defense. “We call them the dark side, we love that defense. So just having that dark-side mentality. We know what [Cumberland Valley] does so just stressing to stop that and preparation.”

    Hopkins, who’s 6-1, 240 pounds, plays linebacker on that defense. Terrell Reynolds, who’s 6-2, 245 pounds, plays end and had a sack Saturday. Then there are the speedsters in the secondary including sophomore Quincy Brannon, who had an interception. It’s a recipe for disaster for opposing offenses.

    For the most part, the Eagles (1-1, 4-1) handled it well, but in the end, the Cougars (2-0, 3-1) pulled away to hand them their first loss of the season.

    “It felt good to have a team win,” Brannon said. “We needed this one. We played as a team and played great today. I’m proud.”

    The first quarter ended scoreless with the longest play coming on a 13-yard pass from Harrisburg quarterback Shawn Lee to Ameer Grandberry.

    The second quarter was more prosperous for the Cougars. After a Cumberland Valley punt put the ball at their own 42, Williams darted 49 yards to the 6 on third down and scored on the next play. Hopkins pounded the 2-point conversion in to make it 8-0 with 6:02 left.

    Brannon then picked off a pass from Isaac Sines 52 seconds later and Harrisburg was in business at the Cumberland Valley 26.

    Lee finished off the short, four-play drive with a 1-yard plunge to make it 14-0 with 2:26 left before halftime.

    Cumberland Valley responded in the third quarter when Bryce Staretz ran 42 yards to the end zone with 3:22 left to pull the Eagles within a touchdown.

    It appeared the Cougars would impose their will in the fourth when Hopkins ended a long drive with a 14-yard TD up the gut with 6:58 left to push the lead to 22-7.

    But on the ensuing kickoff, JD Hunter returned it 85 yards to the house and the Eagles were within striking distance at 22-14.

    Williams eventually put the game away with his second TD, this time from 4 yards, with 2:04 remaining.

    “It’s a big confidence boost but we’re not getting satisfied off this,” Williams said. “We’re adding more fuel to the fire. This win helps us out a lot but we’re still hungry.”

  • Seals rally late, top Braves

    Seals rally late, top Braves

    SELINSGROVE – Some late-game heroics helped Selinsgrove pick up a home victory Friday night as the Seals defeated cross-river rival Shikellamy by a final score of 35-7.

    Things took a while to heat up, as Selinsgrove finally got things clicking late in the game – scoring 28 points in a six-minute span mid-way through the fourth quarter – to win the 2022 edition of the Rally in the Valley.

    Tucker Teats picked up a game-high 189 rushing yards as he toted the ball 30 times for the home Seals. Teats also scored twice in the game.

    “At halftime we talked about getting the running game going,” said Selinsgrove coach Derek Hicks. “I kind of challenged our offensive line to start getting a push. It took a little while. We were a little slow coming out of the half, but we got going and the defense did a great job all night as well.”

    Defense was obviously key early on for both teams, as each team picked up just two first downs apiece on the opening quarter. Following a Shikellamy three-and-out to open the game, Selinsgrove got its first chance on offense, but was stifled by a stout Shikellamy front seven. The Braves earned two sacks on their first three defensive plays of the game. Lucas Wetzel came through with a sack on first down, while Mason Rebuck helped end the drive with a sack on third-and-long.

    In all, the Braves held Selinsgrove to -15 yards of total offense through the first four offensive play of the game.

    After a scoreless first quarter, the home team was able to break through and put a few points on the scoreboard. Facing a fourth-and-two from the Shikellamy 28-yard line to open the second quarter, Teats picked up a solid six yards on a run play to convert a crucial first down. Later in the drive it was Teats again, capping off a 13-play, 79-yard drive that ate nearly five minutes off the game clock.

    The Seals threatened again late in the half. Sophomore fullback Jarrod Bullington ripped off a 49-yard run to set the seals up deep in enemy territory. Two plays later the Shikellamy defense reared its head again, putting a stop to the drive. With Selinsgrove quarterback Mark Pastore rolling to his right, a blindside hit by a Shikellamy linebacker jarred the ball free. Wetzel fell on the loose ball to recover the fumble and give the Braves the ball back with just over two minutes remaining in the half.

    Selinsgrove took a 7-0 halftime lead, but momentum didn’t seem to favor either team. Coach Keiser decided it would be a suitable time to shake things up in the quarterback department to try to gain that momentum in favor of the Braves.

    “Luke (Wetzel) hadn’t played quarterback since last year. We wanted to see it and I thought he did a good job.” Said Shikellamy coach Jim Keiser.

    Wetzel entered the game and connected on his first three pass attempts, including a deep pass down the right sideline to running back Chase Morgan to pick up 29 yards on his first pass attempt. Unfortunately for the Braves, the potential scoring opportunity stalled out deep in Selinsgrove territory. A rush attempt on fourth-and-2 from the Selinsgrove 21-yard line was stuffed by the Seals’ front seven to get the ball – and potential momentum – back to the home squad.

    Two drives later the Seals found the endzone again to open it up to a two-score game. Once again it was Bullington that ripped off a 41-yard run to put Selinsgrove in striking distance. Bullington finished the night with over 100 rushing yards, toting the ball just six times for 104 total yards.

    After a few Bullington carries, Pastore dropped back on a pass attempt and launched a ball to the endzone’s front pylon on a corner route by Josh Domaracki. Thanks to a Shikellamy defender falling down on the play, Domaracki hauled in the throw for a 16-yard touchdown.

    The touchdown broke things open for Selinsgrove, as the Seals went on to score 28 points in the final quarter.

    With the Braves down two scores, Gavin Bastian picked off an errant throw on Shik’s first play of the ensuing drive. Three plays later it was Bastian himself that found the endzone for the Seals on a 34-yard catch and run.

    “It feels great.” said Bastian on his two big plays. “The defensive line put me in a position to get that interception and my quarterback made a great throw.”

    Shikellamy refused to go down quietly. Facing a potential shutout, the Braves knocked the goose egg off the scoreboard on the kickoff following the Bastian touchdown. Chase Morgan fielded the kick at the Shikellamy nine-yard line and showed an impressive burst of speed to fly past all 11 Selinsgrove special teams’ players on his way to the endzone for a 91-yard kickoff return.

    Unfortunately for the shorthanded Braves it was too little too late. Selinsgrove continued to pound the run, grinding down the Shikellamy defense.

    On the ensuing drive it took Selinsgrove just seven plays – all on the ground – to drive 66 yards and score again. Teats picked up his second score of the night on a 13-yard run to cap off the drive. Two plays later the Seals intercepted Shikellamy again, as Caleb Hicks picked off a pass at midfield and took it back to the house for a defensive touchdown.

    “We’ve got a lot of guys playing both ways and we just ran out of gas.” said Keiser. “I thought we played tough, especially being without our first and second-string quarterbacks. Turnovers just killed us in the end, but I’m proud of our kids. I thought they played really hard.”

    “The fourth quarter was definitely where we wanted to be,” added Coach Hicks on his team’s performance. “Shikellamy had a great game plan. Watching film coming in we knew their defense was tough. They did some good things against Jersey Shore on film, and they played us tough early.”

    The 35-7 victory improves Selinsgrove’s record to 4-1 to start the season.

    The Seals travel to Mifflinburg (4-1) next week for a tough matchup with the Wildcats.

    Meanwhile, Shikellamy dropped to 1-4 on the season and heads back on the road this coming Friday night to take on the Shamokin Indians (2-3).

  • Parkland Rally Falls short Against Central Catholic

    Parkland Rally Falls short Against Central Catholic

    OREFIELD – The night got started honoring the 2002 Parkland Trojans Football Team. Parkland won the PIAA Class 4A title that season, defeating Woodland Hills 34-12. Leading the team were former Head Coach Rob Melosky and one of the greatest Pennsylvania high school football players, Austin Scott.

    In 2002, Scott rushed for 3,853 yards and 53 touchdowns.

    The duo was on hand one more time together at Parkland School District Stadium to honor the 2002 team. Melosky now works on the Central Catholic staff, working with the offensive line. 

    “On the first play of the game when Austin broke it, it set the tone of the game,” said Melosky. “The entire season had so many great memories and to win a state title was special.”

    Friday night we got to see another running back showcase his talent. Central Catholic’s Caiden Shaffer scored two touchdowns to lead the Vikings to a 21-14 win over Parkland in the EPC South Division game. 

    It was the Trojans who made a statement right out of the gate. Parkland drove 75 yards on five plays. Freshman running back, Marquez Wimberly, went in from 12 yards out. Gryffin Mitstifer’s kick was good and Parkland led 7-0 with 9:19 left in the first quarter. 

    The Vikings overcame a turnover deep in Trojans territory and finally got on the scoreboard. The offensive line set the tone, especially running behind Raheem Battles and Fynn McDonalds. The big play that set up the score was a 29-yard run by Shaffer down to the Trojans’ one. Three plays later, he capped off the drive with a one-yard touchdown run. Tamlin Ferguson’s kick was good and we were tied at seven with 7:07 left in the first half. 

    The Vikings’ defense got a key interception by Ethan Hosek. They took over on Parkland’s 20. The Vikings drove down to Parkland’s four-yard line facing a fourth down and one. They converted the fourth down and Shaffer got his second touchdown run of the quarter. This time it was from two yards out with 2:52 remaining in the first half. They led 14-7. Shaffer finished the night rushing for 123 yards on 23 carries and two touchdowns.

    “You know what you are going to get with Caiden every night,” said Vikings Head Coach Tim McGorry. “He is tough and not afraid of contact. He gets stronger as the game goes.” The Vikings’ Braheem Battles intercepted a pass late in the first half. But, the Trojans’ defense held and stopped the Central Catholic offense deep in their territory. At halftime, the lead belonged to the Vikings14-7.

    Coming out of halftime, the Vikings went up two touchdowns with 6:53 left in the third quarter. Nathan Schultz got the handoff and broke several tackles en route to an 11-yard touchdown run. The score was now 21-7 Vikings. 

    Parkland had some key players out Friday night, including their starting quarterback Luke Spang. Nakhi Bullock stepped in and played quarterback for the Trojans. Late in the fourth quarter, Bullock weaved his way through the Vikings’ defense for a nine-yard score. The Trojans cut into Central Catholic’s lead 21-14.

    Parkland seemed to have all the momentum late in the fourth quarter. The Trojans were facing a third down and 19 but converted the play when Bullock hit Trey Tremble for the first down on 40. Bullock used his arm and legs making play after play during the drive. Bullock slightly underthrew the ball and Jake Parker made the needed adjustment, catching the 28-yard pass with 2:22 left in the game down to the Vikings two. Bullock tried to hit a receiver deep in the end zone, but a penalty on the Vikings’ defense moved the ball to the one with 2:18 remaining.

    It looked like Bullock was going in for the game-tying touchdown with 2:12 left in the game. But a hard hit jarred the ball loose and Rajan Stevens recovered the ball in the end zone for the Vikings to persevere the win. 

    “I thought we played well three and half quarters of the game,” said McGorry. “We had mental mistakes and penalties that crept in. We made it a lot harder on ourselves than it needed to be.” 

    Next week Central Catholic (3-1) is home against Freedom and Parkland (2-2) travels to Whitehall.

  • Crestwood beats Wyoming Area

    Crestwood beats Wyoming Area

    MOUNTAIN TOP — Before the ball was even snapped, Noah Schultz knew there was going to be an open field where he was running. The Crestwood senior has been in that situation plenty of times before in his career, so he focused on taking the play where it was supposed to go and then running like hell.

    Sixty-six yards later Schultz was in the end zone for the third time in the first half of Friday’s game against Wyoming Area. And it may have been his easiest tote of the night.

    But there weren’t many contested carries for the Comets last night. They ran the ball so well behind a veteran offensive line that they didn’t even have to throw a pass. The Comets compiled 520 rushing yards and bounced back from a disappointing loss a week ago by beating Wyoming Area, 49-7.

    Crestwood coach Ryan Arcangeli wanted to get back to what his offense does best following last week’s loss to Dallas in which an abundance of uncharacteristic mistakes spelled their doom. What the Comets’ offense does best is run the ball. It doesn’t necessarily matter who in their backfield carries it behind an offensive line which created gap after gap for Schultz and his teammates to run through.

    The Comets averaged nearly 12 yards per carry last night. Schultz himself ran for 191 yards on 14 carries, the third-best total of his career.

    “We feel really good about our seniors up front and the gentlemen we have behind them,” Arcangeli said. “So we said let’s show all the hard work we put in in the offseason and let’s keep the ball on the ground. We have confidence in them. And I can’t say enough about our entire offensive line and the backfield because they answered the challenge.”

    Crestwood had already opened a three-score lead in the second quarter when Schultz stood in the backfield and knew he was about to pop a long run. When he took the snap on the sweep play the Comets executed all night with aplomb, Schultz got the open area he expected and he coasted to the end zone.

    It was the second of three touchdowns Crestwood scored on their first four snaps of the second quarter. And even with 32 minutes left in the game, it was a knockout blow against a Wyoming Area defense that had no answer for any play Crestwood ran.

    The Comets had 17 runs of 10 yards or better. Three of those runs were 60-plus-yard touchdown runs. And those three individual carries totaled more yardage individually than Wyoming Area ran for as a team.

    “As long as we get our blocks down, we know those runs will be open, and our guys continued to do that,” Schultz said. “They made the blocks and we made the plays.”

    “That’s our strength,” Arcangeli said. “We liked our matchups (on the perimeter), and our staff does a good job of picking out where we can win some matchups. But you still have to go out and execute, and the kids did that.”

    Behind an offensive line of Chris Smolenak, Aidan Jardine, Aleks Jaskiewicz, John Jones, Andrew Lenahan, and tight end Zach Sheloski, Crestwood had five players run for at least 57 yards. Jaden Shedlock ran for 97 yards and a touchdown. Brady Davidson added 70 yards and a touchdown. Nick Miscavage had just one carry, but it was a 63-yard score. And Brendan Dennis ha 57 yards and a touchdown.

    The Comets’ powerful run game not only produced yards and points, but it also kept the ball out of the hands of Wyoming Area’s dynamic running back Aaron Crossley. Crossley, ran for nearly 500 yards through the season’s first two weeks but gained just 42 yards on 13 carries last night. A well-rested Crestwood defense was relentless in their pursuit of Crossley and the rest of the Warriors’ backfield. Even when they didn’t tackle well, they forced Wyoming Area ballcarriers to get around 3 or 4 defenders just for a 4-yard gain.

    “Don’t think that wasn’t part of the deal for us running the ball,” Arcangeli said. “Don’t give that kid any more touches than he needs. He’s electric and certainly one of the best backs around here. But sometimes a really good ground game can rest our defense so they can prepare for a guy like that.”

    After a loss last week which was filled with so many mistakes, Crestwood righted the ship last night. It got back to what it does best. It built confidence in its game plan. And it executed the way it knows how.

    “That was a great way to bounce back,” Schultz said. “It was the best way to bounce back.”

  • Harrisburg Runs Past Delaware Valley 32-3

    Harrisburg Runs Past Delaware Valley 32-3

    HARRISBURG – The definition of an intersectional battle should be this matchup of District powerhouses, from District 3 Harrisburg and from District 2 Delaware Valley.  The Warriors made a long trip to FL to open the season.  Harrisburg’s first game was to be in the Peach bowl classic.  Unfortunately, mother nature stepped in and spoiled things.  Harrisburg jumped out quickly in this one.  Del Val came off blocks quickly and slugged it out with the Cougars for three quarters.  Harrisburg (1-0) got it in gear in quarter four and came away with a 32-3-win Saturday afternoon over Delaware Valley (0-2).

    The Harrisburg D controlled this game from the outset.  Raytel Bryant had a pick six and Del Val could not muster any running attack the entire game.  Mahkai Hopkins and Kyle Williams set the tone on the ground all game for the Cougars.

    On the second play of the game, Bryant put Harrisburg up on a pick 6.  7-0 early.

    Del Val answered with a nice drive and field goal by Everett Bell to make it 7-3.

    On the next Harrisburg possession, QB Shawn Lee hit Elias Coke for a 41-yard score. Off to the races right?  Not so fast.

    Both defenses played tough and we went into halftime with Harrisburg up 13-3.

    Harrisburg was the only team to move the ball in quarter three.  The only problem was the Cougars turned it over in the red zone twice.  We went to quarter four with the score still 13-3

    Quarter four was all Harrisburg. The ground game wore down the Warriors.  The final was 32-3.

  • Defense leads the way as Imhotep wins over Bishop McDevitt

    Defense leads the way as Imhotep wins over Bishop McDevitt

    The defense was a huge part of Imhotep’s 19-14 win over Bishop McDevitt at Chambersburg’s Peach Bowl, but the 82-yard touchdown blast by sophomore and Georgia commit Jabree Wallace-Coleman set the tone.

    With Division I athletes scattered across both rosters, Wallace-Coleman’s huge run shined through. He went almost the entire distance and threw a McDevitt defender out of his way en route to the score.

    “I’ve been thinking about that play all week,” Wallace-Coleman said. “Because earlier this week 24/7 came out with rankings for my class and they said there were 100 people better than me. I was just trying to show them that they were not.”

    Wallace-Coleman’s lengthy score made it 13-0 with 6:53 left in the second quarter after quarterback Mikal Davis hit Johann Hennigan for an 11-yard score with 4:12 left in the first.

    The Georgia commits’ touchdown broke the game open. McDevitt didn’t go out easily.

    Highly regarded prospect Stone Saunders hit Tyshawn Russell for a 34-yard touchdown with 6:44 left in the third to make it 13-7 and that score held to the end of the quarter.

    Rahmir Stewart pounded it in for a score with 8:53 left in the fourth to make it 19-7 for the Panthers. It looked like it was over.

    Then, Jaire Rawlison returned a Wallace-Coleman fumble 39 yards for a touchdown and it was 19-14 with 3:20 left. That’s when Imhotep grinded it out and ran out the clock, including a big first down run from Coleman.

    “I was going through it for a little bit but my teammates they like my family,” Wallace-Coleman said. ”They help me. They pick me up and told me to go get my money back. That’s what I did.”

    The game had extra meaning for the Panthers, of which many members were talking about how the Crusaders were talking about putting up 40 points leading up to the game. Wallace-Coleman had a Bishop McDevitt championship photo in his Twitter header leading up to the game.

    “That was disrespectful,” Wallace-Coleman said of the pregame banter.

    The Panthers controlled throughout and were only threatened after the fumble return for a TD. They then closed the game out with the rushing game and defense. The D-I talent on the defensive side of the ball helped.

    “I’m just trying to win states,” Wallace-Coleman said. “[I want to] get my jukes better, and get a little faster.”

    Overall, the game was a beautiful showcase between two teams, and players, destined for success at the district, state, and professional levels.

    It was the first week of football, or Week 0 as some like to call it, but the talent was evident on both sides. Check back in for Week 11.

    Imhotep heads to Archbishop Spalding and McDevitt to West Toronto Prep next weekend.

  • Windber defeats Fairfield with 57-0 win

    Windber defeats Fairfield with 57-0 win

    John Shuster and Windber Area Football were coming off their first district title game appearance since 2017. The Ramblers hadn’t won since 2008. They faced top-seeded Westinghouse in District 5-8 Class 2A championship last season and fell in a heartbreaking 35-34 loss when a field-goal attempt went wide right at the end of regulation.

    The Ramblers had 11 seniors on last year’s team but returned Shuster, who rushed for 1,284 and 22 touchdowns as a junior. Shuster and the Ramblers have been itching to start a new season and get that district championship loss out of their minds.

    “We’re just trying to bounce back from last year and do our own thing this year,” Shuster said. “We want to take it farther.”

    That frustration was released Saturday as Windber from District 5  blew out District 3 Fairfield 57-0 at the Chambersburg Peach Bowl. The lead ballooned to 35-0 by halftime with the Ramblers doing whatever they wanted on the ground. Shuster had 140 yards and three TDs. Colin Marx had 100 yards and a TD, and Luke Hostetler added another score on the ground.

    With the running-clock rule in effect in the third quarter, Windber added to its advantage with a 39-yard touchdown run from Blake Klosky and Hostetler’s second touchdown of the day, this time from 23 yards. Lucas Rummel pounded it in for a four-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter to expand the lead to 57-0.

    Windber and Shuster, now the senior leader who recently picked up an offer from Clarion and has interest from Saint Francis, are aiming to keep the ground success up to get back to the district championship. Shuster hopes to rush for 1,000 yards or more in his fourth consecutive season.

    MILTON – In the months leading up to the inaugural game at the brand new Alumni Stadium on the campus of Milton High School, head coach Phil Davis may not have been able to dream up a better opening performance.

    The Milton Black Panthers (1-0) shut out visiting South Williamsport (0-1) by a final score of 28-0. Milton’s offense hummed on all cylinders throughout the game, as the Black Panther offense rolled for 300 yards on the ground and three rushing touchdowns.

    The defense stepped up too, limiting a South Williamsport offense that prides itself on strong offensive line play to just 164 total yards of offense. The Black Panther defense also forced four turnovers en route to the season-opening shutout.

    “I think there was a little more pressure on the kids than they realized tonight,” said Davis on the inaugural game at the team’s revamped stadium. “They didn’t let that affect them at all. They were ultra-focused, and they executed really well on both sides of the ball. I’m really happy for these kids tonight.”

    Milton forced one of its turnovers on South Williamsport’s opening offensive play of the game. With momentum on their side, Milton looked to punch in a quick score, but Mother Nature had other plans. An hour and 45-minute rain/lightning delay forced teams and fans alike to seek shelter. Coach Davis’ team had been in a similar situation before, and he knew his team would know how to perform after such a long layover.

    “We experienced that last year when we went to Nativity and had an hour and 15-minute rain delay. So, most of these guys experienced that last year,” said Davis. “They’re a pretty mature team. We’ve got some great leaders and their goal was to come out here and be successful tonight.”

    Sure enough just two plays after the long delay, Milton was on the board for the first time in the 2022 season. Quarterback Cale Bastian scampered in from eight yards out to give Milton an early 7-0 advantage.

    Bastian would go on to lead Milton in rushing yards on the night, toting the ball 14 times for 105 yards and a score.

    “All the credit goes to the o-line on that,” said Bastian. “The guys up there were creating holes that you could pretty much drive a truck through. That makes things easy for us. All the credit to those guys.”

    “Coming out and getting that score right away was huge for us to get things started,” added Davis.

    Milton found the endzone once again later in the opening quarter after forcing yet another fumble. With South Williamsport in a threatening position, Dylan Reiff fell on a loose ball in the Milton red zone to keep momentum with the home team.

    Milton drove 90 yards on seven plays on the ensuing drive to go up 14-0.

    Another clutch touchdown came with the clock nearing all zeroes in the opening half. On third-and-goal at the South Williamsport three-yard line, Bastian connected with Peyton Rearick to put Milton up 21-0 at the halftime whistle.

    On four first-half drives, the Black Panther defense forced one punt and three fumbles to end Mountaineer drives prematurely.

    “(South Williamsport) has a great offensive line and that’s been a concern of ours all month preparing for them,” said Coach Davis. “We preach running to the ball and that’s what causes turnovers. Those four turnovers were the difference in the game in my opinion.”

    Milton found the endzone one more time late in the contest when freshman running back Monty Fisher took a 26-yard house call. The freshman got all his carries in the second half and recorded nine carries for 68 rushing yards in his varsity debut.

    “I feel like we wore them down late,” said Davis “We had contributions from a lot of different runners. We started cramping up a little bit at the end and had to use other kids, but the offensive line kept making holes and making things happen. All the credit goes to the kids and our coaches. I’m just lucky to be a part of this.”

    South Williamsport was led offensively by bruising running back Ryan Casella. The 6’-210lb junior toted the ball 13 times for 73 yards. Senior running back Caden Harris also added 71 yards on the ground for the visitors.

    Milton takes its 1-0 record on the road to Towanda next week, while South Williamsport looks to rebound on the road against Montgomery.

    2022 Defensive Outlook: “Our players have to stay aggressive and play with a high level of energy coupled with the ability to play fast without overthinking their assignments.”

    2022 Special Teams Outlook: “Winning the field position battle while not giving the big play on special teams and making a few ourselves.”

    2022 Offensive Outlook: “Like any offense, you want the ball in the hands of the most impactful player(s). Starting with Razan Parker and utilizing additional talent under center whether Malachi Jackson in his third year or Jaylen Johnson in his second year, Coach Skalski looks to use sleight of hand to move his weapons into positions to succeed. For that to happen he hopes the offensive line can come together quickly to help fill the void left by ‘21 starting left tackle where starter Jayden Fraticelli continues to mend from offseason knee surgery. Ball control and moving the sticks will guide the Rams to victory.”

    2022 Defensive Outlook: “Deontra Smith’s defense took hits in the off-season due to graduations and transfers. The defense will look to its middle at the linebacker position for the experience of Donovan Hairston and Parker to team with many other potential standouts who will battle for the starting role during camp. The defensive line will be anchored by a return of starters such as Frank Robinson and Tahaj Washington to control the line of scrimmage.”

    2022 Special Teams Outlook: “This group will need to replace kicker and punter Wakean Russell who surprised many with his strong leg during his senior year. Coach Schloss’ unit may need to turn to youth to sure up the kicking game. But there is word around camp that an incoming freshman could win that job. Overall both units played a significant role in a number of games for the Rams in ‘21 and they hope is to have more of a positive impact in ‘22”

He is the leader of our defense. He led the team in tackles the last two seasons. Teams need to account for where he is on defense. He runs well and gets to the edge from his inside LB position. He is being recruited by Delaware, Lehigh, and Penn. Ben is an outstanding student in the classroom and on the football field. He is always in the weight room.”

    2022 Defensive Outlook: “Tigers return six Defensive starters from a year ago. They will rely on being aggressive and use their athleticism to give multiple looks. The defense has a good mix of players at all three levels that will give them depth. The middle linebackers have a lot of experience and should be the strength of that side of the ball. Look for the Tigers to be stingy on defense this season.”

    2022 Offensive Outlook: “The Tigers are returning seven starters on offense. They will rely heavily on the offensive line where they have all but one starter returning. There will be a lot of competition in the skill positions as the Tigers lost a lot to
    graduation and will be very young. Big play guy Cade Christopher returns as well as returning RB Dalton Clymer. Look for the Tigers to try and establish the run game early and often.”

    2022 Special Teams Outlook: “Tigers will have competition in the kicking game this year, and the punting duties will be held by Seth Kern this season.”

    2022 Offensive Outlook: “Need to replace the production of starting QB, the league’s leading rusher, and two All EPC linemen. Upfront three starters return on the O line. Four different members in the backfield received meaningful touches during the 2021 season and the receiving corp production is all back.

    2022 Defensive Outlook: “The secondary should be a strength with the entire group returning and adding some talented young players. Five different linebackers return that played valuable minutes in 2021. Need to replace two All-League performers up front.”

He has excellent vision, footwork, and balance which he uses perfectly to cut off blocks. Along with his great running ability, he probably has the best hands on the team. As good as Drew is on offense or special teams, he brings great value to the defensive side. He helps set up the defense, and led the team in interceptions, but what people might not notice is he is not afraid to stick his nose in for tackles in the run game. Drew will look to follow up his huge Jr season, with an even bigger senior season.”

Kahlen is one of three linebackers returning for us this year. This group should be the heart and soul of our team.”

We had all the trust in him when he subbed one of them out. He has a nose for the football, excellent Blitzer, and most of all he is a fierce hitter. He has that same attitude when he is running the football, he is not looking to avoid contact. But he also has that home run speed that he showed when he got his opportunities last season. We have very high expectations for him this fall.”

He has a great ability to chase plays down the line in the run game as well. On offense, we are going to look at him as a TE, but he also will be playing tackle as well. His strength on offense is his ability to move people on down blocks which is critical in the wing-t run game. We had a 3-year starter in Aiden Mack who set that edge for us, and we believe Caleb will absolutely be able to do that job for us next year at either TE or OT. What we like about Caleb is he plays with a little bit of a nasty streak, you gotta love a lineman playing that way!!”

Jeremiah was always the guy that would create a big play in all three phases of the game. Often times he would Score a TD, hold for the extra point, run down and make the tackle on Kick-Off, and then play defense. He NEVER came off the field. Additionally, he is the epitome of being a STUDENT-ATHLETE.

He is benefitting from playing in our offensive system since he was in 7th grade through the middle school program. He is an outstanding student in the classroom but he also picks things up extremely well on the football field. His brother Andrew (now at Muhlenberg College) was an outstanding player & leader for us and Danny is looking to follow in those footsteps. Danny did a great job stepping in for Sr., Collin Quintano when he was out with injury last season, and he won both games as a starter. He has room to grow within our offense and I feel that his work ethic and ability will carry him as he prepares for the 2022 season.”

    Coach’s Comments:  “Riley played the perimeter extremely well while on defense in 2021 performing at a hybrid DE/OLB position for the Falcons.   Riley is also an integral part of Pottsgrove’s success on offense, lining up as both an attached TE and detached TE! Riley excels at blocking in the run game and is an extremely skilled receiver. Riley looks to build on his success in his junior season in 2022.”

  • Conrad Weiser Among Nation’s First Football Programs To Use MVP Sprint

    Conrad Weiser Among Nation’s First Football Programs To Use MVP Sprint

    Conrad Weiser Among Nation’s First Football Programs To Use MVP Sprint – The Newest Robotic Tackling Dummy Built To Reduce Player-On-Player Contact 

     Weiser Football Looks To Smart Solution to Counter Concussion Concerns In Practices

     Robesonia PA, (May 16, 2022) – In an effort to reduce the player to player contact and sports-related concussions, Conrad Weiser is among the first programs (schools) in the country to use the “MVP|SPRINT, a mobile, self-righting, robotic tackling dummy designed to replicate an in-game experience by simulating a real football player in size, weight, and agility.

    “We understand the need to change the way the game of football is played and practiced and are now leading the charge by adding MVP|SPRINT to our training program,” said Coach Moyer-HFC. “Our Weiser Football Program recognizes the increased attention surrounding sports-related concussions and their impact on the well-being of our athletes. We are eager to have the MVP|SPRINT and to be among the first adopters of this innovative technology.”

    The MVP|SPRINT may look like an ordinary tackling dummy but is far from it.  The remote-controlled, self–righting, mobile tackling dummy, weighs 165 lbs and can reach speeds up to 16 mph.  It is designed to replicate in-game experiences and allow players to get realistic reps in a safer way. It can be used in a variety of drills, from tackling and blocking to running and passing, allowing players to make full contact while minimizing injury risk.

     “Protecting athletes is critical and the very reason MVP|SPRINT was developed. It’s a solution that will allow youth, high school, collegiate, and professional players to fully execute a tackle on a non–human device and it eliminates player-on-player contact during drills while maintaining the level of challenge associated with tackling a live person,” said Dartmouth Football Coach, Buddy Teevens, whose Ivy League program was among the first in the country to eliminate full-contact and use the MVP.

    In 2014, Teevens challenged and inspired a group of his student-athletes from Dartmouth/Thayer School of Engineering to develop a mobile training device that simulated human motion and performance. Months later, the first MVP prototype made its debut as the first moving-non human target at Dartmouth football team camp’s opening day.

    Since its debut, MVP has garnered national attention from coaches, players, medical professionals, and trainers and even made a LIVE television appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Hard Knocks, ESPN, NFL Films and many others. At Dartmouth, the football team saw a significant reduction in concussions in the first two years where MVP’s robotic tackling dummies were implemented into practice, and during the 2018 season, 21 out of 22 starters played in every game, leading Dartmouth to a 9-1 season.

    Weister Football is among the first programs to purchase the MVP|SPRINT which was designed to fit the performance needs of high school & youth programs.  MVP LLC completely sold out of their first batch of SPRINT units for the 2019 season.  Conrad Weiser is joining an elite group training with MVP technology, including ½ of the NFL, over 75 Colleges, and more than 250 High Schools.

    The SPRINT is $3,450 and is available for purchase on www.mvpdummy.com.

    About MVP LLC: MVP is a privately held robotics & engineering startup that specializes in developing high-performance robotic solutions for sports and tactical operations, headquartered in Bradford, VT.  MVP invented the world’s first rigorously engineered robotic mobile tackling dummy. Using state-of-the-art mechanical and electronic design (functionality), MVP’s team of engineers and designers is revolutionizing how athletes train for any sport, safely.

  • Radnor hires Kyle Yeiter as Head Football Coach

    Radnor hires Kyle Yeiter as Head Football Coach

    Last week, Radnor announced their new Head Football Coach, Kyle Yeiter. He replaces Tom Ryan, who resigned in January. 

    “I know I have some huge shoes to fill. Coach Ryan is a kind of a legend in Radnor and Delco,” said Yeiter.

    He is a teacher at Radnor Middle School 

    “For the last six years, I have taught at Radnor Middle School. I teach the eighth Grade Integrated Program called Soundings.  Soundings is a nationally recognized, ungraded program that integrates ELA, Social Studies, and Science into a student-centered and research-driven experience for eighth-graders.”  

    “I consider myself beyond lucky to teach in such a great school district… and even luckier to teach in such a unique program.”

    What is your previous coaching background? 

    “My first experience of coaching football came during my sophomore year at Ursinus. I went in as a Strong Safety, but I tore my hamstring three times over my first year and a half at Ursinus. After tearing it the third time during camp my sophomore year, the coaches (Coach Gallagher and Coach Quigley) thought they could put me to some use. That year, I ran our Defensive Scout Team/Huddle during practice, as well as the Special Teams Box on gameday. Thankfully, I was able to get Platelet Replacement Procedure on my hamstring and play my final two years at Fullback.”   

    “When I graduated, I did my student-teaching at Central High School in Philadelphia (my alma mater).  There, I was the DB/QB coach in 2012. Following that year, I moved on to coach at Father Judge High School (2013-2016). Again, there I was the DB/QB Coach.” 

    “In the spring of 2017, my friend Ryan Nase got the head coaching job at Cheltenham High School and asked me to join the staff. I served as the Defensive Coordinator there my last three years, being part of our 2019 Team that went to the 5A State Title Game against Archbishop Wood.” 

    “This past year I was the DBs coach and Special Teams Coordinator at Archbishop Wood (a little weird coaching at the spot that beat you in the state championship only two years prior).”  

    What are your goals for this team? 

    “My ultimate goal is to turn this into a college-like experience for our players.  I really believe that so much of the success that Coach Nase was able to build at Cheltenham was due to how the entire program was run (we did have a lot of stud players too).  From the way we watch film, to the way we analyze our opponents, to how we lift/condition, to how we practice, Radnor Football will be run like a top-notch program.  There are some resources that we will use, such as a VR Football Program created by my brother, that will help us to reach that goal.”              

    “I know this will take some time to build, but I want our kids to be excited to be part of something like this.  At the end of the day, if we are able to accomplish this goal, the wins and losses will take care of themselves.”             

    “Additionally, for any of our players that have the goal to play at the next level, I will do everything in my power to make that come true for them.” 

    What are your thoughts about the league you will be playing in?         

    “I think that Southeastern PA has some of the best and most competitive football in the entire state. I have had the opportunity to coach in the Philadelphia Catholic League and Suburban One for many years.” 

    “Now, I am moving to the Central League, which I see as extremely similar to Suburban One (Of course we are all considered District I). Every single week you are going to be playing a really good team, which is something that I look forward to. Ultimately, our goal is to build a program that has sustained success year-in and year-out like Garnett Valley and Strath Haven.”

    Registration is Now Open for the 2022 RSFA/ BIG 33/ PSFCA 5 Star Regional Combines

    We are excited to invite you to participate at our 2022 Combines!

    Our combines are for upcoming 9th-12th grades (classes of 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026) and are designed to give these athletes the opportunity to showcase their talents and testing skills in the 40-yard dash, 5-10-5 shuttle run, L-Drill, Broad Jump, and Vertical Jump. At our combines, we use Dashr Laser Timing Systems for the most accurate timing. We have upgraded all of our laser timers to the New Dashr Laser Systems for the best timing and scoring.

    In addition to the testing portion, our participants get the opportunity to work with coaches during the individual offense, and individual defense periods. At the end of the combine, participants compete in 1 on 1’s, and 2 on 2’s by their positions. We invite college coaches from DI, DII, and DIII, and national recruiting services to attend our combines to evaluate talent.

    At the end of the combines, we send each athlete their individual scores. We ask all participants and their parents if they would like for us to send their scores to college coaches.

    Top performers from our Regional Combines are invited to participate in our Elite Showcase during the weekend of the BIG 33 Football Classic. Don’t miss this opportunity for your athlete to showcase their talents and skills, and have a chance to impress college coaches at all levels on site.

    After receiving feedback from college coaches in attendance, all of the coaches stated that they enjoy getting to see the participants perform up close and that they get the chance to pull the participants aside to ask them about their goals to play in college, ask them about their academics, and about the leadership skills they possess. Several of our participants who were in the class of 2022, committed to schools that attended our combines last year.

    Come join us at our combines to compete, showcase your talents and abilities, and get noticed.

    Upon registration, you will receive important information leading up to the combine, and you will be directed to download our app where all participants will have their own profile with all of their educational scores, and combine scores. We will be launching our app soon! Stay Posted

    We enjoy bringing the best opportunities and resources for our football players across the state of Pennsylvania to help them reach their goals to potentially get noticed and play at the next level.

    Sign up: The 7v7 Tournament on Saturday July 9 at Whitehall High School

    Hello Coaches,

    I hope your off-seasons are off to a great start.

    We are looking to hold our second 7v7 Tournament on Saturday, July 9 at Whitehall High School. This year we are partnering with St. Luke’s Sports Medicine to provide even better coverage for our athletes throughout the tournament. In the Lehigh Valley every summer there are two big Summer League Basketball tournaments that promote the sport of basketball. We are looking to do that for the football community as well. We will provide greater Athletic Training coverage than we had last year thanks to St. Lukes and their team. We want to make this the premier tournament in Eastern PA all while keeping the cost reasonable.

    The format will consist of a three-game pool play, followed by a single-elimination tournament-inspired playoff. Every team is guaranteed at least 4 games. Everyone participates in the tournament playoff and seeding will be based on pool play. A basic set of rules are included in this email so you can see the style of play. There will be no “small school” and “big school” categories. Pools will be divided as fairly as possible.

    The cost of attending the day will be $100 per team (Checks made payable to “Varsity W Club”) due on the day of the tournament. This will cover the PIAA officials working every game. We will not have volunteers as referees and we feel these officials should be paid accordingly.

    We are hoping to secure 20 teams, with a possibility of expanding to 24 teams if field space permits. Registrations will be handled on a first-come basis. Please let me know as soon as possible if you are planning on attending so we can reserve your spot.

    Thank you for your time!

  • Ben Thompson named McCaskey Head Football Coach

    Ben Thompson named McCaskey Head Football Coach

    Served as interim head coach during 2021 season

    Lancaster, Pa.—Ben Thompson, who stepped in as McCaskey’s interim coach just prior to the 2021 season and led the team to its first two wins in three years, is losing his interim tag.

    The school board on Tuesday named Thompson the school’s head football coach.

    “It is an honor to be part of a program with such a proud history,” Thompson said. “With support from the district, community and alumni, I would like to continue to grow this program into something that will fill us all with #TornadoPride.”

    Thompson has been a member of the McCaskey coaching staff for the past three years, two as JV head coach. He also served as defensive coordinator for the varsity team and coached numerous position groups, including running backs, linebackers, cornerbacks and wide receivers. He was the team’s strength training coordinator in 2020. He stepped in as interim head coach when Sam London abruptly resigned days before the start of practice to accept an assistant coaching role at Waynesburg University.

    “Coach Thompson performed admirably this season, in a less-than-ideal situation,” athletic director Jon Mitchell said. “I have strong confidence in his plan and his vision for the future of our program, and I’m excited to support Ben as we work to make his vision a reality.”

    Thompson was a standout athlete for Coatesville High School, serving as captain of the football team in his senior year and earning a scholarship to Division I Florida A&M. He continued his playing career at Cheyney University, making the PSAC All-Academic Team from 2008-2010.

    Thompson is a special education teacher in the School District of Lancaster. He holds a bachelor’s in special education from Cheyney and a master’s in online education from Wilkes University.

  • Penn-Trafford captures first state title with a 17-14 OT victory over Imhotep Charter

    Penn-Trafford captures first state title with a 17-14 OT victory over Imhotep Charter

    Cade Yacamelli was losing sleep. Carter Green was sitting by himself in an empty parking lot urging his teammates forward. John Ruane was looking at game film and nodding his head, that this could be solved.

    In mid-September, Penn-Trafford had lost its second-straight game, sitting at 2-2. Its star player, Yacamelli, was convinced things would eventually click. Its quarterback, Green, was telling his teammates in group chats “never again.” Ruane knew his team was far better than how they were playing.

    Turns out that they were all right, when their ideas all merged on Friday night at Hersheypark Stadium, when the Warriors won their first PIAA state football championship, beating mighty Imhotep Charter, 17-14, in the Class 5A title in overtime on a Nate Schlessinger 24-yard field goal.

    Yacamelli, bound for Wisconsin, rushed for 100 yards on 21 carries, and scored once, while Imhotep Charter sophomore tailback Tre McLeod pounded away for a game-high 185 yards on 28 carries, and Rahmir Stewart scored both Panther touchdowns, his second came with 7:29 left and seemingly gave Imhotep the game.

    No one thought Penn-Trafford (13-2) would get to the state championship—let alone win it.

    “We were 2-2 at one point this year, and I remember I came home one day and I was really frustrated, and I was getting no sleep,” Yacamelli recalled. “I knew what we had. It just wasn’t clicking for us. All of a sudden, we went back to practice, I talked to my coaches, I talked to my team, and stuff started clicking. And then some more, and some more. We kept getting better every week.

    “This program is also built on being the underdog. Finally, we win something, and finally, people give us credit. They have D-I guys, and people have to start respecting this program and this is my last game, unfortunately, and of course, this is satisfaction and clarity.”

    Imhotep went up 14-7 on Stewart’s five-yard run and two-point conversion with 7:29 left to play.

    That’s when the Warriors responded with a 12-play, 56-yard drive, ending with Jack Jollie’s two-yard pass reception of Conlan Greene’s jump pass and Schlessinger’s extra point with :34 left in regulation.

    Imhotep won the overtime toss and elected to defend. That resulted in Schlessinger’s field goal.

    Everything fell apart for Imhotep in overtime. First, the Panthers jumped offsides, which pushed the ball back to the 15 (in high school each team gets the ball at 10 with four downs to score). After a Stewart five-yard run, a high snap placed the ball back at the 26. Imhotep, a team known for its potent ground game, couldn’t move—and the celebration began for Penn-Trafford.

    On September 17, Penn-Trafford lost to rival Peters Township, 28-14, under a morass of penalties and mistakes. Monday, September 20 may have been the most important day of the Warriors’ season.

    “The Monday after we lost to Peters Township and I said to the coaches on Saturday morning, we’re still good, we just can’t kill ourselves with penalties and turnovers,” Ruane said. “But saves us when those kids came in with an angry attitude and decided to fix it. They wanted to turn the season around. That Monday was eye-opening to all of us. We got on a roll and we haven’t looked back since.”

    Imhotep (11-2) finally broke the scoreless tie with a 12-play, 67-yard drive—all on the ground. The Panthers only had to convert two third downs, before Rahmir Stewart scored on a fourth-and-6 when he swept outside untouched for the first score of the game with 3:29 left in the half.

    Penn-Trafford responded with an eight-play, 65-yard drive. The big play was the twisting, turning 36-yard run by Yacamelli, placing the Warriors at the Imhotep two-yard line.

    As the final seconds of the half were disappearing, Yacamelli plowed into the end zone from two yards out with just :04 left. Schlessinger added the extra point and the early difference.

    “Imhotep are monsters but we felt our chemistry together, that was the difference, we believed in each other,” Green said. “I remember after the loss to Peters Township and I remember sitting in the car for 30 minutes that night and I went on a group chat with my team and said ‘never again.’ It helps having Cade.”

    For the most part, Imhotep did a good job containing Yacamelli in the first half. The 6-foot, 205-pound senior carried 11 times for 68 yards, averaging 5.8 yards a carry.

    Imhotep ruled the time of possession, 39 to 18. The Panthers rushed for 219 yards, but they were also penalized 12 times for 81 yards, many of those flags coming on third-and-short.

    “At the end of the day, we had a chance to win, and we didn’t execute,” Imhotep coach Devon Johnson said. “It’s heartbreaking. But I’m proud of my guys. They fought all year. I told my team to walk off this field with their heads held high.”

  • The Battle of the Bishops turned out to be a fight until the end.

    The Battle of the Bishops turned out to be a fight until the end.

    Bishop McDevitt held off Bishop Shanahan for a 28-21 victory in the PIAA Class 4A semifinals Friday night at Coatesville High School.

    The District 3 champion Crusaders (12-1) move on to face District 7 champion Aliquippa, a 41-16 winner over Jersey Shore, in the title game in Hershey. It’s the first state championship game for the Crusaders since 2013.

    The Crusaders did it by being backed with big plays from its stars, such as Old Dominion commit Mario Easterly and coveted DI-prospect Marquese Williams, but a tipped pass and pick-6 both by linebacker Nate Kinsey for a 29-yard touchdown extended the lead to the largest of the game at 28-14 with 7:08 remaining in the third quarter.

    Bishop Shanahan quarterback Cooper Jordan, who made plays with his arm and legs all day for the Eagles (11-4), returned the ensuing kickoff for 91 yards after his fellow returner pitched it to him on a reverse and the Eagles were within a score.

    Bishop Shanahan ended up punting on its next three drives, with punter Zane Domsohn putting the Crusaders in difficult field position, but Bishop McDevitt started to chew the clock with Williams, who had 106 rushing yards, and Cyncir Bowers, who finished with 53.

    The Eagles had a final opportunity from their own 37 with 2:55 after forcing the Crusaders to punt, but their final effort on fourth-and-10 from Bishop McDevitt’s 27 ended in a 3-yard run.

    Bishop Shanahan running back and linebacker Brandon Choi, who holds offers from Dayton, Penn, and Fordham, scored the game’s first touchdown on a 13-yard reception to make it 7-0 with 5:48 left in the first quarter.

    Easterly caught a 16-yard pass from Stone Saunders to tie it at 7 with 2:05 left.

    Jordan scored on a 7-yard run with 7:32 left in the second quarter and the Eagles retook the lead at 14-7.

    Williams, a junior who holds offers from 22 DI schools including Notre Dame, Penn State, Michigan State, and Cincinnati, burst for a 25-yard score with 4:09 left in the half. Choi got through to block the extra point and Bishop Shanahan still led 14-13.

    After a 3-and-out to begin the third quarter, the Eagles punted to Easterly who took it 38 yards to the 13. The Crusaders scored three plays later on Bowers’ 4-yard run and converted the two-point conversion to make it 21-14, and it felt like the momentum was beginning to shift.

    “I mean I thought I was going to score,” Easterly said with a laugh. “My eyes were in the end zone but I had so many blockers in front of me and it was just them and the sideline and I had nowhere else to go. It was great though, set us up for a touchdown.”

    Bishop Shanahan took over on offense and that’s when Bishop McDevitt senior backer Kinsey swatted Jordan’s pass and caught his own deflection going 29 yards to the house to push the lead to 28-14 with 7:08 left in the third.

    “Once I saw that ball go up I got it,” Kinsey said. “I saw the end zone in front of me and knew I had to get that touchdown for the team. It felt amazing.”

    Easterly had been to this point in his career as a freshman, but came out on the losing end to the tune of a 48-7 drumming to Cathedral Prep. The Crusaders last won a state title in 1995. Needless to say this one meant a lot to Easterly, Kinsey and the rest of the team.

    “I just wanted to go out with a bang,” Easterly said. “My senior year I wanted to do what a lot of McDevitt teams haven’t done in the past: Go to a state championship. We haven’t won a state championship in so long so just to be here my senior year is crazy.”

    Any thoughts on Hershey?

    “I’m super pumped we worked so hard for this,” Kinsey said. “We deserve this and I think we can do it. I know Aliquippa is a good team, but we’re a good team too.”

    “It’s going to be fun, man,” Easterly said. “Stay tuned. That’s all I got to say.”

    SHILLINGTON – The District 3 Champion Wyomissing Area Spartans took care of business on Saturday afternoon, defeating the District 2 Champion Scranton Prep Cavaliers 35-14 in a PIAA 3A Quarterfinal matchup at Governor Mifflin stadium.

    The Cavaliers (11-1) had a rough start to the game, losing 2,000 yard back London Montgomery to an upper body injury.  He would not return to action following x-rays at a local hospital.

    Even with Montgomery, the Cavaliers would have been hard pressed to stop Wyomissing (14-0), who scored on their first three possessions of the game to take a 21-7 halftime lead.

    Wyomissing’s offense was methodical throughout the game, churning out yards and first downs on each possession, patiently moving the ball downfield, but their most dominant performance came in the third quarter.

    The Spartans received the second-half kickoff and marched 66 yards on 12 plays, while chewing up 6 minutes and 32 seconds of clock.  The drive was capped by a two-yard Tommy Grabowski touchdown.

    After holding the Cavaliers to a three-and-out totaling -8 yards, Wyomissing retook possession with 4:26 left in the third quarter.  Again, the Spartans were on the march, this time for 71 yards in 10 plays, culminating in an 18 yard Amory Thompson touchdown run with 11:41 to go in the fourth.

    Third-quarter statistics like 137 yards to -8, 9 first downs to zero, and a 14-0 advantage are not numbers fans are used to seeing in PIAA Quarterfinal games, but those moments are seemingly what Wyomissing lives for.

    “We expected to be able to come out today and run our offense,” said junior running back Drew Eisenhower following the game.  “Jet sweeps, blasts, we were able to run our full playbook.”

    Eisenhower carried the ball 13 times for 133 yards and two scores on the afternoon.  Senior Tommy Grabowski added two touchdowns of his own and fellow senior Amory Thompson finished the scoring with an 18 yard, fourth-quarter run.

    Wyomissing quarterback Ben Zechman attempted only one pass on the afternoon, a two-point conversion caught by Thompson.

    Scranton Prep set up their first-half touchdown when punter Rob Rossi took a fake punt 40 yards to the Wyomissing 8.  Liam Barrett would score four plays later to make it a 14-7 game, but that is as close as the Cavaliers would get.

    Wyomissing heads back to the PIAA Semifinals for the third time in the last three years, a fact not lost on Eisenhower.

    “Oh, it’s big!  I remember two years ago when we lost to Tamaqua, and that loss hurt.  Going to the state championship last year felt great, but losing did not.  We’re looking to get back to where we were last year.”

    The Spartans will play District 12 Champions Neumann-Goretti, a 28-0 winner over Danville, in the PIAA Semifinal next weekend at a site and time to be determined.

  • Imhotep Charter gets offensive in winning the District 12 5A championship

    Imhotep Charter gets offensive in winning the District 12 5A championship

    They knew what they had. It just had to cook a little bit. So, when Imhotep Charter’s offense began maturing, things would begin to look frightening as to just good the Panthers could be.

    It’s coming together now.

    Imhotep rolled over Father Judge 42-7 on Saturday in PIAA District 12 5A championship in a game that seemed to be a formality before it began.

    Imhotep (8-1) now advances to take on Erie Cathedral Prep in the PIAA Class 5A state quarterfinals, which will likely be scheduled for Friday, at 7 p.m. possibly at Hershey Park Stadium. Judge (6-5) will play on Thanksgiving against traditional rival Lincoln.

    After a slow start, Imhotep’s offense started rolling and didn’t stop until coach Devon Johnson pulled his starters midway through the third quarter. By then, the Panthers had built a 36-0 lead, behind a balanced attack that had sophomore quarterback Mikal Davis complete 8 of 11 passes for 114 yards, including a 48-yard touchdown strike to RJ Atkinson in the second quarter when the game was still competitive.

    Behind tackles Kaliem Croswell and Emir Stinette, guards Giovanni Graham and Nasim Gray and center Enyphe Wooten, the Panthers pounded Judge for 219 yards rushing, 101 coming on a career-best effort from freshman Jabree Wallace-Coleman, who had carries of 15, 21 and 38 yards.

    “Most of our running backs were banged up early this season,” Wallace-Coleman said. “Once everyone got back, we were okay. I think our offense has a lot of confidence, because we can go that deep at running back. I think we have the best running backs in the state right now.”

    Wallace-Coleman may have a point, with sophomore Tre McLeod, Will Robinson and Rahmir Stewart all sharing the ball.

    Running this, of course, is Davis.

    Unsure the first month of the season, the 6-foot, 200-pound sophomore has developed poise and confidence. He’s making better decisions and sees the field far better than he did a few months ago—which makes for a tough time against future Imhotep opponents—like Erie Cathedral.

    “We’ve been putting a lot of work in at practice and going against the best defense in PA, which has made us a lot better,” Davis said. “I feel comfortable with these guys. I love it. Our blocking, our timing, my footwork, we were worked on all of that.”

    The game was essentially over by halftime. The Panthers scored on three-straight possessions in the second quarter, the first on Davis’ TD connection to Atkinson, followed by Stewart’s 5-yard TD run with 4:11 left in the half, and it ended with junior Corey Downing’s 60-yard punt return for a touchdown with 1:37 left in the second quarter.

    “Just look at all of the kids with all of the offers, so you know that Imhotep is very talented,” said Judge coach Frank McArdle, who did a great job in making the Crusaders competitive this season, playing up at 6A since Judge was the only 5A team in the Catholic League. “They’re talented and they’re huge, so they were tough to move. With their athleticism, we were trying to go north and south, and we did a decent job early. It just fell apart fast. We have Lincoln on Thanksgiving, and it’s a nice way for the kids to end the season.”

    Wallace-Coleman’s 1-yard run with 1:07 left in the third quarter closed the Panthers’ scoring.

    Judge did not get its initial first down of the game until the final play of the third quarter. Crusaders’ senior quarterback Mike VanHorn scored serious tough guy points, because he kept getting up after being plowed by the Imhotep defense all afternoon. It led to Judge’s only score, a VanHorn 6-yard run with 6:27 play.

    “We’re really excited about Jabree, who was banged up like a lot of other backs,” Johnson said. “We had to eliminate mistakes, and not working behind the sticks. Our kids have been feeling more and more confident with what they’re doing. It was crazy for Mikal Davis who faced Pittsburgh Central Catholic, DeMatha and La Salle in his first three games.

    “He’s gaining confidence and growing at the right time, because this is when we’ll need him.”

  • Steel-High defeats Delone Catholic 42-20

    Steel-High defeats Delone Catholic 42-20

    Top-seeded Steelton-Highspire defeated No. 2 Delone Catholic 42-20 to win the District 3 Class 1A title in back-to-back seasons Saturday afternoon at Veterans Memorial Field in Harrisburg.

    Daivin Pryor rushed for 118 yards and a score and also had a receiving touchdown and an interception to lead the Rollers (8-2) to their second consecutive title.

    Steel-High went undefeated last season and won the PIAA Class 1A state title. It started this season 7-0 before two straight losses to Big Spring 49-14 and Boiling Springs 29-28 put a damper on the end of the regular season.

    The Rollers put those losses behind them in the district final.

    “My mindset was to just get out here and win this week,” Pryor said. “We had a good team coming in here that really wanted it badly. A couple of years back they beat us on this field and then we went out there and beat them on their field. They came back, so we wanted to do it again.”

    The Squires (6-5) beat Steel-High 39-27 in a 2019 district semifinal; the Rollers evened the score in 2020 with a 23-13 victory in the district final.

    Losing a Division I talent like Penn State commit Mehki Flowers, who transferred to Central Dauphin East after helping Steel-High win the state title last season, would put a strain on any team. The Rollers showed the capability of performing on the same level, averaging 55 points per game in their 7-0 start. The 35-point loss to Big Spring and a one-point heartbreaker to Boiling Springs to end the season hurt, but the Rollers showed moxie in rebounding in the district final.

    “It all was a long process,” Pryor said on attempting to match what Steel-High did in 2020. “It started back in the summer and spring. We had to work, watch the film, go in the weight room. Every practice we were here working hard. In the end, we had to execute and that’s what we did.”

    It didn’t start ideally for the Rollers and Pryor as the running back fumbled on the first possession and Delone Catholic’s Brady Dettinburn recovered at the 15. Dettinburn eventually ran it in from 5 yards out and the Squires went up 7-0 with 10:01 left in the first.

    Alex Erby hit Tyrone Moore on a 28-yard pass to tie it with 3:12 left.

    Pryor got the only score of the second quarter with a 5-yard run to make it 13-7 with 42.3 seconds left in the half.

    Erby hit Jaieon Perry for a 12-yard score with 9:14 left in the third and it seemed as though Steel-High was about to roll with a 21-7 lead.

    Delone Catholic responded with a 68-yard pass from Ryder Noel to Gage Zimmerman and the Squires were back within a score at 21-14.

    It was all Rollers from there.

    Jakhai Noss pounded it in from 5 yards out with 1:31 left in the third. Erby hit Rell Ceaser Jr. for a 10-yard touchdown with 6:48 left in the fourth. Erby hit Pryor for a 21-yard score with 4:49 in the fourth and the scoreboard read 42-14.

    Noel hit Dylan Staub for a 13-yard TD with 1:03 left in the game for an empty score.

    The Rollers will play District 4 Class 1A champ Canton next week in the first round of the PIAA state tournament.

    Is another state championship on the mind?

    “Yessir,” Pryor said with a smile.

  • Bulldogs Win Thriller on Late Field Goal

    Bulldogs Win Thriller on Late Field Goal

    YORK – “You got this!”

    Those were Wilson wideout Cameron Jones’ words of support for sophomore kicker Ben Rada as the Bulldogs took possession at their own 25-yard line with 7:14 left in the game.  Tied at 11 points a piece with Central York, Jones must have had a feeling that Rada would be the game’s hero.

    Jones wasn’t wrong, but Rada was one of many.

    The Wilson Bulldogs (9-3) defeated defending PIAA 6A finalist Central York (11-1) and Penn State bound quarterback Beau Pribula 14-11 Friday night in a District III 6A semifinal matchup.

    Wilson’s game plan was simple:  run the ball.  The Bulldogs were able to do just that, to the tune of 62 attempts for 349 yards on the ground.  Wilson had two second-half drives that gained 162 total yards on 26 total plays and ate 12 minutes of clock without attempting a single pass.

    The determined Bulldog defense did an excellent job of limiting opportunities for Central York.  The ever-dangerous Pribula still managed to go 20-33 for 308 yards and a touchdown, but the Bulldogs pressured him up the middle all night, giving him little to no time to operate without someone in his face.

    Pribula, without time in the pocket, was forced into settling for underneath throws thanks to a two-deep shell that allowed the defenders to keep speedy Panther receivers Imeir Manigault and Treyshawn Smith in front of them for most of the night.

    “We threw a lot at them,” said Wilson head coach Doug Dahms following the game.  “We threw a lot of blitzes at them, we mixed the coverages, and, hey, they played well enough.”

    After a first half which saw both teams fail to turn long drives into points, the second half began with Wilson quarterback Brad Hoffman calling his own number over the right side, lowing his shoulder, and knocking a Panther defender three yards backward to earn a tough 12 yards.

    “In the first half we weren’t really going as hard in the backfield and upfront,” said Hoffman after the game.  “We knew that and we got together at the start of the second half.  We knew this was a close game and we could pull it off.”

    Hoffman, who would finish with 29 carries for 167 yards, was joined in the backfield by fellow senior Jadyn Jones, who gained 161 yards on 27 carries on the night.

    According to Hoffman “It all came down to the grit of our offensive line.”

    After a fumble ended Wilson’s promising drive to open the second half, Central York was able to move the ball 97 yards in just 4 plays to take an 11-3 advantage, the Bulldog offensive line showed that grit, methodically moving Panther defenders for more than enough yards to keep the chains moving.

    The holes got bigger as the second half wore on.  Hoffman was able to rumble for a 41 yard gain over the right side to set up Wilson’s only touchdown of the night.

    After holding the Panthers to a three-and-out on the ensuing possession, the Bulldogs were back in business, using an efficient 12-play 71-yard drive to get to the Central York four-yard line, where the drive stalled.

    Enter Ben Rada.

    “Those were the first and second field goals we’ve attempted this year,” said Dahms.  “That’s a little scary, but what better time to do it!”

    Rada hit his 21-yard attempt right down the middle, just like Jones said he would, advancing the Bulldogs to next week’s District 3 6A Championship.

    “We all looked at each other at the beginning of the season and we set our goals:  league championship, district championship, state championship,” said Hoffman.  “We knew that we would have to go through these guys to get there, and having that in the back of our heads pushed us to get this win tonight.”

  • Wyomissing Area Dominates Northern Lebanon, 65-3

    Wyomissing Area Dominates Northern Lebanon, 65-3

    WYOMISSING – If you ask the die-hard fans of the Wyomissing Area Spartans, the same question keeps coming up:  “I thought we lost a lot from last year, why are we doing so well?” You can’t really blame them; transitions usually don’t usually look this easy.

    That question became a little easier to answer on Saturday as Wyomissing (11-0) advanced to the District III 3A semifinal round with a 65-3 drubbing of visiting Northern Lebanon (4-7) in a quarterfinal matchup at the A-Field.

    Wyomissing’s Wing-T expertise was on full display from the first possession.  The Spartans rolled up 478 yards of total offense, 430 of that on the ground.  Their top three rushers gained 269 yards on just 13 carries.  The Wyomissing backs gained yards around the edge, off tackle and up the middle, frequently running through holes 10 yards wide.

    The 65 points are the most the Spartans have ever scored in a playoff game, but the level of offensive production isn’t shocking.  What’s shocking is that the Spartan defense held Northern Lebanon to just 20 total yards in a game in which the staters only played a quarter and a half.

    Much of the credit for Saturday’s dominant defensive display should be given to the Spartan’s secondary:  juniors Drew Eisenhower and Charlie McIntyre, and seniors Nevin Carter and Amory Thompson.  The solid coverage they provide allows the pass rush to disrupt timing and the linebackers to flow to the ball.

    “Coming into the game we knew what we were expecting,” said Carter, who scored on a 77-yard pick-six in the first quarter.  “We love when teams pass.  It gives us the chance to get the interceptions you saw today.”

    “When we play a team that’s more focused on running, we have to worry about tackling and wrapping up,” added Thompson, who scored two first-quarter rushing touchdowns.  “When we play a team like this we’re more focused on the pass coverage and where we need to be to cover the pass.”

    That focus forced Viking quarterback Ethan Ebersole into 5-19 passing and two interceptions.  Those five completions gained just 19 yards.

    Wyomissing will potentially have five more games and the deeper they go, the better their competition will be, beginning next week with a perennial showdown with Middletown, a 35-21 winner over West Perry.

    Looking forward, Thompson and Carter feel that their best defense is still to be played.

    “I think we’ve got so much potential,” said Carter.  “I know we’ve seen some good teams, but I feel we can get to a level we haven’t seen yet.”

    “During most games we have a couple missed opportunities, missed interceptions, blown coverages,” said Thompson.  “When we clean up those mistakes, we may reach our full potential.”

    That’s the answer to the question:  seniors that are still learning, still pushing and still perfecting their craft.  They aren’t satisfied, not yet.

  • “Big Time” 49-35 Win By Big Spring Over Conrad Weiser

    “Big Time” 49-35 Win By Big Spring Over Conrad Weiser

    The long bus ride from Newville to Robesonia Friday Night only symbolized the process it has been for the Big Spring football program.  A “Big Time” process for Head Coach and Athletic Director Joe Sinkovich, a “Big Time” commitment for the school district and “Big Time” support from the community all working together to bring this Bulldog football program back. This year’s Bulldog team had been a “nice” story.  Then, a thumping of the defending PA Class A champion made everyone sit up and take notice.  And now…with a resounding 49-35 win at Conrad Weiser in a District playoff opener, the “Big” is back in Big Spring (8-3) football.

    There were lots of stars in this one on both sides of the ball.  Big Spring’s QB Ethan Eisenberg accounted for four TDs and was throwing darts all night to his receivers all over the field.  Dylan Wakefield ran wild for the Bulldogs and had three rushing TD’s.  Even hobbled by a severe ankle injury, Conrad Weiser QB Logan Klitsch had an outstanding performance.  Klitsch had four TDs throwing and one rushing for the Scouts.

    Here is Big Spring Head Coach Joe Sinkovich’s post-game comments.

    https://twitter.com/BadgleyBruce/status/1456804072602931203

    It did not take long for Big Spring to seize the moment in this one.  Like just one play……

    Weiser would take the lead 7-6 as the first quarter ended.

    Eisenberg hit Caleb Massare across the middle and Big Spring was back in front.

    Weiser came right back when Klitsch hit Anajay Feliciano on this pretty play.

    Dylan Wakefield’s short TD run put the Bulldogs back in front 20-14 with 1:49 left in the half.  That was just enough time for Klitsch and Conrad Weiser.  The Scouts came right down the field to take a 21-20 lead going into the break.

    Big Spring came out fired up on both sides of the ball in the second half.  Eisenberg took their first play of the second half 64 yards to the house to make it 28-21.  Then a “Big Time” play on defense by Tucker Lowery ended the Scouts next possession.

    Big Spring stretched the lead in quarter three with some big offensive and defensive plays.

    Klitsch and Conrad Weiser did not go down without a fight.  The Scouts drew to within seven halfway through quarter four.  But the Big Spring offense could not be stopped and the Bulldogs came away with the “Big Time” 49-35 victory.

  • Wyomissing Area routs Conrad Weiser, 45-7

    Wyomissing Area routs Conrad Weiser, 45-7

    WYOMISSING – In 1993, on a warm November Saturday, a scrappy and talented Conrad Weiser team rolled into the A-Field to end the season and derailed a state-ranked Wyomissing squad by the score of 14-7, ending the Spartans hope for making the PIAA playoffs for the first time.

    28 years later, the Scouts tried to make history repeat itself, but in the end, the Spartans (10-0) ran past the Scouts (7-3) by the score of 45-7.  With the victory, Wyomissing earned its third consecutive Berks League Section II title.  It will also be their last.

    Saturday’s game was the last in the storied 64-year history of the Berks (formerly Inter-County) Football League.  The league started in 1957, has featured 29 different teams and almost 2,500 league games.  It produced many District III champions, state playoff participants, and one PIAA Champion, Wyomissing Area in 2012.  Next year, the Berks League teams will join an expanded Lancaster-Lebanon Super League, following a trend becoming more popular throughout the state.

    Saturday’s game also marked Wyomissing’s third consecutive undefeated regular season, a first in the long history of Berks County football.  It was also Wyomissing’s 26th consecutive regular victory, which is four short of Wilson West Lawn’s Berks record of 30.

    On top of all that, it was also Senior Day!

    However, all that history took a back seat to a truly dominant performance by a talented Wyomissing football team, a team that has a historic look.  The Spartans didn’t have to look too far into the past for motivation.

    “Last year we shared the league championship with them (the two teams did not play due to a COVID affected schedule),” said senior fullback Tommy Grabowski following the game.  “That just made us really mad.  We came out here today and gave it everything we had.”

    The key for the Spartans was attempting to contain the league’s most prolific offense. The Scouts came into the game averaging 413 yards of total offense, 180 on the ground, and 233 through the air.  The swarming Wyomissing defense, however, allowed only 22 rushing yards and a stingy 97 through the air on Saturday.

    “We had to establish the outside because their quarterback (Logan Klitsch) is really mobile,” added Grabowski.  “We had to shut it down and we did that very well today.”

    Senior cornerbacks Amory Thompson and Nevin Carter locked down a talented Conrad Weiser receiving corps while the Spartan defensive line disrupted Kitch’s timing, pinning him in the pocket for the duration of the afternoon.

    “Our coaches told us that Weiser used to be one of Wyo’s big rivals back in the day,”  said Thompson after the game.  “So we had that extra chip on our shoulder today.”

    That chip allowed the Spartans to get whatever they wanted on offense.

    Grabowski gained 116 yards on 13 carries to go along with three touchdowns.  Thompson ran for 105 yards on 10 carries and a score.  Junior quarterback Ben Zechman threw only three passes but connected for a 26-yard touchdown strike to fellow junior Charlie McIntyre.

    The Scouts entered the game as the fifth-ranked team in District III 4A, and many felt that they represented the last test for Wyomissing before what looks to be a long playoff run.  Faced with that perceived adversity, the attempt to extend the win and undefeated season streaks, and the ghost of eerily similar games past hanging in the ether, the Spartans more than rose to the occasion.

    “It’s everything to us,” said Grabowski.  “We work extremely hard for this and it’s just paying off now.”

    Nazareth uses one-two punch to knock off Whitehall

    NAZARETH – Mason Kuehner and Tyler Rohn packed a powerful one-two punch for the Nazareth Area (6-3) Football team. 

    The 5-foot-11,165-pound Kuehner scored three touchdowns while Rohn, the 5-foot-10 195-pound running back rushed for 175 yards on 31 carries and two touchdowns. The two guided the Blue Eagles to a 35-14 victory over Whitehall (3-5) on Friday night at Andrew S. Leh Stadium.

    “Rohn ran like a mad man tonight,” said Tom Falzone. “He is a senior and a captain for us. The offensive line did a good job opening up holes for him.”

    The victory was Nazareth’s Head Football Coach Falzone’s 50th win with the Blue Eagles. 

    Kuehner scored three different ways. He had a 10-yard touchdown run, caught a pass for 25 yards, and intercepted a pass which he returned 23 yards for a score. He finished the night with two interceptions. 

    On the Blue Eagles’ opening drive, Rohn and Sonny Sasso established the running attack. At the 50, Sasso completed back-to-back passes of 17 and 20 yards to set up Kuehner’s 10-yard touchdown run. Chris Bugbee’s kick made it 7-0 with 6:43 left in the first quarter.

    Mason was busy in the first quarter. He intercepted a Trey Dogmanits’ pass to Whitehall’s 25. One play later, Sasso fired a pass to Kuehner for a 25-yard touchdown pass.

    “He is such a super athlete and we try and find ways to get him the ball,” said Falzone. “He does it on both sides of the ball.” The first quarter went to the Blue Eagles.

    Whitehall, down 14-0, got their offense going in the second quarter. The Zephyrs capped off an 11-play, 83-yard drive. Damonte Foreman’s two-yard touchdown run cut the lead in half. Andrew Deutsch’s kick was good and the Blue Eagles lead was 14-7.

    The Zephyrs weren’t done. The defense forced another punt and the offense scored another touchdown. Dogmanits hit Devin Donatelli for a 40-yard touchdown pass.  It was tied up at 14 with 6:05 left in the first half. 

    Nazareth’s offense got back into rhythm. Rohn carried the ball five times during the drive including powering in from six yards out to give the Blue Eagles the lead back, 21-14 with 3:30 left in the first half.

    After a Nazareth punt to start the second half, The Blue Eagles’ defense came up with a big play. Kuehner intercepted a tipped pass by Matt Capobianco and took it 23 yards for the score. The lead was 28-14 with 10:31 left in the third quarter. 

    “His interception was a game-changer for us,” said Falzone. “That tipped ball he picked and took in was a huge play and a momentum swinger for us.”

    Rohn seemed to get stronger as the game went. Rohn ran the ball 10 of 15 plays and finished the drive scoring from one yard out. 

    With the win, Nazareth sets up up a big game next week against Easton Area who defeated Emmaus 17-13. Whitehall is home next week against Northampton.

    Eric Striba Rushes for 4 Touchdowns in Bangor Win at Wilson Area

    EASTON – Early in the game, tied at six, the Slaters ripped off 31 unanswered points in a 37-6 win over Wilson Area Saturday afternoon at Smith Field. Eric Striba had a great day, rushing for 183 yards and scoring four touchdowns. 

    “It goes back to the off-season. We didn’t block well last year and we struggled upfront,” said Bangor Head Coach Paul Reduzzi. “Coaches Sui and Andrews put in a new scheme this year and it has been unbelievable. The kids have worked hard to get better and it shows.”

    The opening drive was the Striba and Kael Godshalk show. They combined for 65 yards rushing on 11 plays capped off by Striba’s one-yard score. The two-point conversion was no good and Bangor led 6-0.

    The Warriors answered right back to tie the game up at 6. It took seven plays for Wilson’s Damian Simpson to score from 4-yards out. 

    At the start of the second quarter, the Slaters had the ball on the Wilson 36yard line. Striba hit Gabe Woolverton for an 18-yard completion down to the 18. Two plays later, Striba finished off the drive with a 13-yard touchdown run. The two-point conversion was good to Woolverton and the Slaters led 14-6.

    The Warriors’ next drive ended with a punt deep in their territory. The punt was blocked and recovered by Jacob Weaver for a safety to extend the Slater’s lead to 16-6.

    Striba’s third touchdown run of the day pushed Bangor’s lead to 24-6 with 2:59 left in the half.

    The Bangor’s defense started to make some noise late in the first half. Wilson next drive ended on an interception by Slaters’ Derrick Zamorsky. 

    Bangor went into halftime leading, 24-6.

    In the third quarter, Wilson got the ball first at their 29. The Slater’s defense came up with another big stop. Weaver sacked Cayden Stem forcing a punt. 

    After back-to-back fumbles by both teams, the Slaters got their offense going in the second half. They went 63 yards on six plays as Striba went in for his fourth touchdown run of the game. They led 30-6 with 4:52 left in the game. 

    “Striba is a student of the game and led them in the weight room in the off-season,” said Reduzzi. “He really worked hard to get stronger and better. He is an exceptional kid on and off the field.”

    The Slater’s defense wasn’t done. MJ Sui intercepted a pass ending a Warriors drive. Bangor couldn’t capitalize on the interception turning the ball over on downs.

    The Warriors were on the march driving to Bangor’s 18. But, the Slater’s defense came up again with a big play. Weaver almost got another sack but caused an errant pass which led to a Landon Uhler interception. 

    Bangor’s Godshalk scored from one yard out and the big chunk of the drive was a Striba 62-yard run. Gabe Woolverton’s kick made it 37-6.

    Weaver led the team on defense with four sacks, safety, and several quarterback hurries. 

    “He’s only a sophomore and has done a great job this year,” said Reduzzi. “He’s getting better each game.”

    Next week, Bangor host Pottsville and Wilson Area host Blue Mountain.

    HARRISBURG – It is very clear when you attend a CD East –  Harrisburg football game that these teams both want to win, BADLEY.  Besides being an important League game, this matchup means a year’s bragging rights over the loser.  With both teams off to fast starts this season, the winner would also be looking at hosting a District playoff game.  So with all this on the line, it was easy to see why emotions were running high at Severance Field Saturday afternoon. Harrisburg(6-1) built an early lead via the air.  Then held off a late CD East (5-2) comeback bid to come away with a Mid Penn Commonwealth 25-20 victory.

    Both Harrisburg QB’s Zakii Lewis and Shawn Lee were effective.  Justin Cook had two TD receptions for the Cougars, one covering 78 yards.  CD East was led by Marcell McDaniels who had one offensive and one defensive Touchdown.

    It took both teams a while to get settled.  Harrisburg broke out on top late in Quarter one.

    CD East answered back on its next possession to draw within a point as we started quarter two.

    Quarter two was big for Harrisburg.  Lewis hit Cook for a 78 yard score, and a big defensive score put Harrisburg up 19-6 at the break.

    Harrisburg took the second half kick and extended the lead to 25-6.

    CD East got back on track and drew within 25-13 heading to the 4th.

    CD East had their chances but the Harrisburg D proved to be tough in quarter four.

    It REALLY got interesting when CD East scored as Harrisburg was trying to run out the clock.  But the Cougars recovered an on sides kick to preserve a 25-20 win.

     

  • Shamokin’s Stout Defense Tops Shikellamy

    Shamokin’s Stout Defense Tops Shikellamy

    SUNBURY – Entering Friday night’s tilt with Shikellamy, the Shamokin Indians knew a strong defensive performance would be needed. Sitting at .500 coming off a shutout loss to Jersey Shore, the Indians needed a bounce-back game in a big way.

    The team got just that, allowing just one late fourth-quarter touchdown in a 21-7 road victory over Shikellamy.

    Not only did the defense hold a home Braves squad to seven points, but they also won the turnover battle in a big way, earning a pair of turnovers that set the team up in plus field position on two of the team’s three touchdown drives.

    “We played complementary football in all phases tonight,” said Hynoski of his team’s victory, “Our special team’s play led to a touchdown; good kick coverage led to a good defensive stand. The game just kind of went from there.”

    The Shamokin defense showed up early, holding Shikellamy to a three-and-out on the opening drive of the football game. On Fourth-and-four at their own 24-yard line, a bad snap on a punt attempt forced Shikellamy to turn the ball over at their own eight-yard line. It took Shamokin just three plays to find pay dirt and open a 7-0 victory.

    Max Madden plunged in from seven yards away for the score; the first of three rushing touchdowns on the night for the senior back. In all, Madden toted the ball 22 times for 113 rushing yards and three scores on the night for the Indians. He was the game’s leading rusher in both attempts and yards gained.

    “You can always rely on Max (Madden),” said Hynoski of Madden’s performance. “I don’t know if Max has ever played a bad game, honestly. He’s a hungry, determined kid that has all the tools of a great running back. I tell him every week that when you go, we go.”

    Early in the second quarter, Shikellamy put a solid drive together but stalled out in Shamokin territory. Coltyn Sempko and Isaac Schaffer-Neitz combined for six carries for 34 yards on the drive, but a fourth-and-two incomplete pass forced a turnover on downs at the Shamokin 46-yard line.

    Once again Shamokin used the momentum from a turnover to produce a score of its own. Quarterback Brett Nye completed three of four pass attempts on the drive to set up a Shamokin score. Madden opened the drive with a 21-yard gain on a screen pass, while Tyler Whary caught an impressive pass of his own. Facing a fourth-and-eight at the Shikellamy 31-yard line, Nye launched a ball deep downfield that was tipped by defender Nyzir Brown but caromed right into the arms of Whary for a 27-yard gain. On the very next play, Madden plunged in from four yards away for his second score of the game.

    Shamokin’s next big defensive play came in the second half. On Shikellamy’s first drive of the second half, the Braves faced a third-and-nine at their own 12-yard line. Quarterback Brayden Wertman looked right and threw a pass that sailed over his receiver’s head and right into the arms of middle linebacker Aaron Frasch. The interception gave Shamokin the ball at the Shikellamy 15-yard line and two plays later it was Madden yet again diving in from four yards away.

    “I just followed my blockers,” said Madden, who accounted for 113 of the Indians’ 139 rushing yards in the game, “They were opening up good holes for me. I just followed them, and they led me to the endzone a few times.”

    “We were actually down a starter on the o-line tonight. We had a tackle come in and fill in and did a really good job.” added Hynoski of his team’s offensive line play that helped lead Madden and the team to victory, “We did a good job firing off the ball. If you can fire off the ball and knock them back, that’s a good start.”

    The lone Shikellamy touchdown came late in the game’s fourth quarter. Facing a 21-0 deficit, Shikellamy started a drive on its own 27-yard line with 10:21 remaining in the game. The Braves proceeded to go on a 16-play drive that took over six minutes off the clock before Gage Wolfe plunged into the endzone from 10 yards away to break up the Shamokin shutout.

    Despite scoring the lone Braves touchdown, Wolfe finished the game with just 16 rush yards in four carries. Sempko led the Braves rushing attack on the night, racking up a team-high 72 rushing yards on a team-high 15 rushing attempts.

    Shamokin’s Colin Seedor led all pass catchers in the game with 44 receiving yards which all came on one reception in the game’s opening quarter. John Peifer led Shikellamy in receiving, hauling in three receptions for 19 yards.

    “Everyone played well tonight,” said Madden. “Our defense held up nicely, only allowing one touchdown tonight. They set us up inside the 10-yard line a few times I think. It makes it a lot easier to score from there.”

    Shamokin improved to 4-3 overall this season with the win and hosts Milton (5-2) this coming Friday night. Shikellamy dropped to 1-6 overall with the loss and is scheduled to travel to Lewisburg (2-3) this coming Friday.

  • Alex Erby throws three touchdowns in Steelton-Highspire win over Middletown Area

    Alex Erby throws three touchdowns in Steelton-Highspire win over Middletown Area

    Steelton-Highspire quarterback Alex Erby is only a sophomore and has a resume that would make a senior jealous.

    Already a state champion and program record-holder in passing yards, passing touchdowns, passing yards in a single game and passing touchdown in a single game, Erby added to that resume Saturday in the Rollers’ 26-0 victory over Mid Penn Capital opponent Middletown at War Memorial Field.

    He threw for three touchdowns, all in the second half, but more notably for 255 yards which broke the all-time record for career passing yards in Steel-High history.

    “I just gotta give props to my O-line,” Erby said. “They’ve been the key to my success. Also the hard work. We are right back at it on Sundays. It’s a dog mentality and we’re going to keep pushing.”

    Last season, Penn State recruit Mehki Flowers was on the team giving Erby a prized recruit at wideout. He’s spreading the ball around more this season. Three players caught touchdowns Saturday. Tyrone Moore had 10 catches for 112 yards and a score. Rell Ceaser Jr. had five grabs for 79 yards and a score. Jaeion Perry had four receptions for 64 yards and a score.

    “It’s definitely a lot harder not having Mehki, Damein Hammonds and Odell Greene,” Erby said. “We all just have to keep getting better every week, execute and keep growing as a team.”

    The Rollers (1-0, 5-0) got off to a slow start Saturday, halted by five penalties, three punts and an Erby interception in the first half.

    The Blue Raiders (0-1, 2-3) weren’t much better with five penalties and five punts.

    The teams were scoreless at the break, the first game of the season that the Rollers were tested. Their four previous victories were by 77, 55, 61 and 34 points.

    “We realized (Middletown) was a really good team with good players that could potentially play at the college level,” Erby said. “I was keeping my composure and just trying to help the team calm down (at halftime). I could tell we were getting a little riled up. We’ve been through this before though, so we just had to keep pushing.”

    And push they did.

    Daivin Pryor rushed for 34 yards on Steel-High’s first drive of the second half and finished it with an 8-yard touchdown. Pryor finished with 22 carries for 128 yards for the Rollers.

    Next were two 41-yard touchdown strikes from Erby, one to Ceaser with 1:52 left in the third and the second to Perry as time expired in the quarter.

    Suddenly the Rollers were leading 19-0 heading to the fourth.

    Erby put the nail in the coffin with a 4-yard touchdown pass to Moore with 2:02 left in the game.

    Erby’s dad, Andrew Sr., is the Steel-High head coach and his brother, Andrew Erby Jr., is a starting defensive tackle, which the sophomore sensation thinks has its pros and cons.

    “It can be a good and a bad thing sometimes,” Alex said with a smile. “I’ll get yelled at for throwing into double-coverage on my pick, but it’s good because I can sit down with my dad every night and prepare for the week.”

    The Erby trio will be preparing to go 2-0 in the Mid Penn Capital division when they face Trinity next week.

  • Cowanesque Valley defeats Columbia-Montour Vo-Tech 50-12

    Cowanesque Valley defeats Columbia-Montour Vo-Tech 50-12

    ALMEDIA – When a high school team accomplishes something that hadn’t been done while any of its current players were alive, then you know the program is making progress.

    With a 50-12 win over Columbia-Montour Vo-Tech on Saturday, Cowanesque Valley improved to 3-2 on the season. It marked the first time in the 2000s that the Indians have had a winning record at the halfway point of the regular season.

    “I got here two years ago and we were on an 18-game losing streak. We won three that first year and then two out of seven last year, so for these guys, winning three out of their first five is unprecedented so I’m pretty happy with that but you can still see (room for improvement),” said Cowanesque Valley coach Mike Schmitt. “We’re still trying to get over that hump of being able to do everything right all the time. We’re still building a culture of being good no matter what.”

    The Indians came out on top and in a big way despite CMVT controlling the ball for 35:02 out of 48 minutes. Cowanesque Valley scored five touchdowns on drives of under two minutes, including three that took under a minute, and also added a score on special teams.

    “We were able to do what we wanted offensively and we’ve got some receivers that are really quick,” said Schmitt.

    The Indians’ first drive would be an accurate representation of their quick-strike method that they used throughout the game. After forcing a CMVT three-and-out, the Indians took over on their own 27, and on the second play from scrimmage, Jacob Schmitt found Tucker St. Peter for a 59-yard touchdown reception to cap a :19 drive. That was the first of three touchdown tosses on the afternoon for Schmitt, who threw for 228 yards and also ran for a score.

    After the teams traded interceptions later in the first quarter, Cowanesque Valley struck on a :37 drive, which also took just two plays, but this one began at the Ram 14-yard line, and was capped by Schmitt’s eight-yard run.

    The Indians made it a three-score game on their next drive as Tim Freeman capped a five-play, 43-yard drive with a two-yard touchdown run. This drive took an eternity compared with their first two scoring drives – all of 1:39.

    The Rams then put together their first of two long scoring drives in the game that spanned nearly 17 combined minutes. This one took up nearly the entire second quarter as Toby Zajac completed a 19-play, 68-yard drive that lasted 9:34 with a two-yard touchdown run. CMVT overcame a pair of penalties to sustain that drive, which was aided by two Cowanesque Valley penalties.

    Zajac was quite busy on the afternoon as he carried the ball 36 times for 122 yards, part of 53 rushes for the Rams on the day.

    “That’s my brand of football – long drives, take time off the clock and keep their offense off the field,” said CMVT coach Mark Varner. “That’s what we’ve been working to all year. The difference today was that we didn’t make that one mistake. We didn’t fumble that one snap, we didn’t have that penalty that kills drives, we didn’t have that negative play to get us behind the sticks and we made positive plays. I feel if we can get three yards every play, we’ll go for it on fourth down anywhere on the field. We kept on having positive plays and building off those plays.”

    “To their credit, that drive really knocked us back and we tried to just play our base defense and see what would happen and they really did a good job,” said Schmitt.

    That drive cut Cowanesque Valley’s lead to 22-6, but the Indians followed it up with a quick answer, as they took the ensuing kickoff at their own 37, and on the first play from scrimmage, Schmitt hit Elliott Good for a 63-yard touchdown pass, and after the Indians hit the PAT, they went into halftime with a larger lead (23 points) than they entered the second quarter with (22), despite the Rams’ controlling the ball for over three-quarters of the quarter.

    The Indians made it a double gut punch to the Rams to open the second half as St. Peter returned the second half kickoff 74 yards for a touchdown to make it 36-6. After the Indians picked off the Rams’ Caden Long at their own 25, Cowanesque Valley put together its fifth sub-2:00 scoring drive of the game, capped by Tanyon Brown’s 33-yard touchdown reception to make it 43-6 and put the game into the mercy rule.

    “We basically played two minutes of bad football,” said Varner. “We played the last minute of the first half bad and the first minute of the second half bad, those were two big scores we shouldn’t have allowed but besides that, I think we continued to move forward when we were down. For what we had on the field today with our young guys – we started five freshmen today – I can take that.”

    Freeman found the end zone for the second time in the fourth quarter as he capped the only drive of the game for the Indians that lasted more than 1:39 – this one a nine-play drive that last 4:47 – with a three-yard touchdown run, capping his 132-yard rushing day.

    Trailing 50-6, CMVT put together another long scoring drive that took up over half of the fourth quarter. This one went 11 plays and 67 yards and took 7:21, and was capped by an 11-yard touchdown run by freshman Braxtyn Brown.

  • Malvern Prep creates an identity in a 21-0 victory over Archbishop Wood

    Malvern Prep creates an identity in a 21-0 victory over Archbishop Wood

    Malvern Prep’s Jack Capaldi & Yaadir Nash

    Every football season is an odyssey of discovery. No coach truly knows what they have until a few games are played, or sometimes a month into the schedule.

    On Saturday, Malvern Prep coach Dave Gueriera received a firm idea where he sees his Friars going after they beat a very good Archbishop Wood team, 21-0, at Penn’s historic Franklin Field.

    “Wood’s a good team, and we executed well offensively and we were stout against the run,” Gueriera said. “We felt we should have won the La Salle team (in the season opener). We wanted to finish every quarter and every play, and we did a good job with that.”

    Malvern quarterback Jack Capaldi completed 8 of 13 for 191 yards and two touchdowns.

    “We had a really good week of practice this week, and that’s why we had the kind of game we had today,” Capaldi said. “Wood is a good team. Coming in, we knew they were going to be a tough team. Everyone was really focused during practice. That’s what really pushed us.”

    Malvern opened up even more what had been a dominant performance with a 42-yard touchdown pass from Capaldi to D’Angelo Stocker with 6:15 left in the third quarter for a 21-0 lead.

    By the fourth quarter, Wood (3-1) was playing to prevent getting shut out and Malvern (2-1) was looking to whittle down the clock.

    The Vikings received a spark from sophomore quarterback Mekhi Wharton, after starting quarterback Trey Holsman was forced to leave the game in the third quarter with an injury.

    But just when it looked like Wood would get on the board early in the fourth quarter, the Vikings imploded at their five. A Wood penalty pushed the ball back to the 10, a Malvern sack shoved the Vikings back nine more yards and the drive ended on a Wharton desperation incompletion to the end zone.

    On Wood’s drive, with Holsman back in, the Vikings once again drove to the Malvern five. This time, the drive ended with Malvern’s Isaiah Wright intercepting a pass in the end zone.

    Wood coach Matt Walp wasn’t too happy when he walked off the field on Saturday. He knew his team was better than how they played.

    “It starts during the week if you don’t practice all week long, but if you don’t come together as a team and have all the big names, you will not make plays when they need to be made,” said Walp, who has no problem being honest. “We got beat on two plays in the first half, two plays, that’s all they had. We were out of position, it happens.

    “In the second half, we hurt ourselves. You don’t win making mistakes against good football teams. We have to clean it up.”

    Malvern took a 14-0 lead into halftime, beginning with a 77-yard touchdown pass from Capaldi to Yaadir Nash with 8:41 left in the second quarter. It’s the first time Wood trailed in a game this season.

    “That TD gave us the momentum and once we saw we could punch them in the mouth the same way they could punch us,” Nash said. “We realized our strength and we realized we have a team out here.2

    That was just the start.

    On the next possession, the Friars benefitted from great field possession for Wright to take a handoff up the middle going 19 yards almost untouched for a 14-0 lead after the Wright conversion run with 4:35 remaining in the half.

    The Friars had pounded a very good Wood defense for 189 yards of total offense while holding Wood to a mere 41 yards of offense. The Vikings couldn’t do anything on the ground, held to 0 yards rushing over the first two quarters, mostly from minus-29 yards in sacks.

    After Nash’s TD reception, the Vikings had a meltdown. They were having problems with the snap, causing Holsman to scramble for his life. In succession, the Vikings went for first-and-10 at their 20, to second-and-15 at their 15, to third-and-26 from their 4.

    It gave Malvern a great field position, which they used for the Wright score.

    If not for Tyrese Whitaker and Eric “Scoop” Gardner, Wood’s impactful junior defensive ends, and an interception late in the second quarter by Khadir Rowe it could have been worse.

    Malvern was driving in the waning seconds of the second quarter when Rowe stepped in front of a Capaldi pass at the Wood 10 to save the Vikings from more damage.

    That was it as far as mistakes for the Friars.

  • Philadelphia Catholic League Players of the Week Week of September 13th, 2021

    Philadelphia Catholic League Players of the Week Week of September 13th, 2021

    Offensive Player of the Week

    Aiden Clancy – Ryan – Jr. – RB

    Clancy rushed 16 times for 178 yards and two scores in the Raiders exciting win over rival Father Judge in front of a large and spirited crowd at Northeast H.S. Clancy’s 55-yard scoring run early in the 4th quarter provided the difference in the game. He earlier unleashed a 48-yard touchdown. Amazingly, Clancy’s 178 yards on the ground wasn’t much lower than what Ryan produced rushing as a team over the last two seasons (16 games – 284 yards). The victory snapped a 15-game losing streak for Ryan.

    Defensive Player of the Week

    Joe Mastrangelo – Ryan – Sr. – DB

    Not the biggest of kids, but Mastrangelo doesn’t have an issue standing out when he plays and typically does so in all three phases of the game. Exhibiting a nice combination of savvy and brass, the quick Mastrangelo provided a huge moment in Ryan’s 21-14 victory over rival Father Judge when he neatly stepped in front of a pass and streaked 79-yard to paydirt. He also chipped in with 8 tackles (5 solos) from the secondary. On special teams, he managed 63 yards in returns, despite losing most of a long punt return touchdown on a penalty. Offensively, he made 4 catches for 94 yards.

    Special Teams Player of the Week

    John Pergine – Wood – Sr. LB

    There was just no way I could leave this kid off the honor roll this week. Talk about a man possessed. Throughout Wood’s, 46-0 shellacking of Cheltenham there appeared to be multiple Pergine’s on the field at once. I had to keep looking to see if there was more than one #44 out there. Nah, just one. With most of his damage coming in the opening half, Pergine wreaked havoc on the Panthers’ offense and then some. He finished with a game-high 11 tackles (9 solos), two interceptions, a sack, and 4 other TFLs (19 yards in losses). But this is Special Teams Player of the Week, Mr. Huck? Ohh, he also blocked a pair of punts and twice provided moments that led to safeties. Phew!

  • La Salle outlasts Imhotep Charter, 13-8, in a battle of Southeast PA giants

    La Salle outlasts Imhotep Charter, 13-8, in a battle of Southeast PA giants

    Reflective moments don’t come often in the ever-moving ebbs and flows of a high school football season. The rare times those flashes do occur, you seize them like La Salle did Saturday afternoon in its 13-8 victory over Imhotep Charter at Springfield (Montco) High School.

    Neither the Explorers nor Imhotep was exactly at their best, but La Salle proved to be at its best when it had to be.

    Trailing in the fourth quarter, Explorers’ quarterback Alan Paturzo spotted Ryan Moore uncovered and lobbed a 12-yard TD pass with 7:28 left to play, which proved to be the difference.

    La Salle, ranked No. 3 in Southeastern PA by EasternPAFootball.com, moved to 3-0 with the victory, while the Panthers, who were ranked No. 2, fell for the first time this season, dropping to 2-1.

    La Salle’s Penn State-bound linebacker Abdul Carter had a sterling performance, making 12 tackles, while the Explorers’ Rutgers-bound powerhouse tailback Sam Brown rushed for a game-high 106 yards on 17 carries and scored La Salle’s first TD on a 33-yard reception in the second quarter.

    Some credit needs to go to La Salle tackles Ryan Carr, Luke Shissler, and Cole Kozlowski and guards Brendan Krug and Nick Araco, and center Dean Leader.

    The group of six dealt with possibly the state’s best defensive line in PIAA Class 5A. Imhotep’s Enai White was still a game-changer, making two tackles behind the line of scrimmage for minus-14 yards and posed such a looming threat that La Salle ran away from him for most of the game.

    “That was a great win for us because they’re a good team and we had some energy entering halftime,” Carter said. “I think we learned that we’re ready for the season because the heart we showed and the grit we showed is there. We made some mistakes, so we have to give it a little more focus.”

    Imhotep controlled much of the game, relying on defense and its ground game to keep La Salle off the field. But an interesting turn came when the Panthers’ explosive sophomore tailback Tre McLeod left the game early in the third quarter due to an injury. When he left, Imhotep’s offense left with him.

    McLeod, who rushed for 67 yards on eight carries, did the bulk of the damage for the Panthers, scoring on a 5-yard run in the second quarter with 1:57 left in the half. McLeod followed that up with a 2-point conversion and the Panthers carried that 8-7 lead into the fourth quarter.

    Each time he had the ball, McLeod was a threat to break a long run.

    The Panthers’ defense hung on but were tiring.

    “They have a lot of guys that go both ways, and you can tell that they were getting tired,” Brown said. “This win means a lot, coming out 3-0 and we have to keep getting better. Imhotep is a fast-paced team, and I can’t lie, they were slowing down.

    “We made a lot of mistakes today and still won. We need to execute better, and that starts Monday at practice.”

    Imhotep also took a deeper look at itself after the game. Coach Devon Johnson addressed his team, which could go deep into the PIAA Class 5A state playoffs and are certainly state championship contenders.

    “We had two of the biggest wins in program history and we got up on our high horse, but this loss will make us a better team,” Johnson said. “I told my team to feel this, and how horrible it feels, because it’s a feeling that I don’t want them to feel again.

    “This is the best thing that could have happened to us. Losing Tre, that hurt us. But we came out 2-1 through that gauntlet of the (opening) three games and it’s the best for us that this happened this way. I let the kids talk it out. It’s their team.”

    White, who really stood out as a leader after the game, made sure he and his teammates were aware that no fingers should be pointed at anyone but themselves.

    “And that starts with me,” said White, rated the nation’s No. 1 edge rusher. “I’m the leader of this team and we have to play harder. We can’t overlook anyone. This hurts. But I would rather feel a loss now rather than later. We had a bad week in practice and we have to address things. Everyone has to address their own issues.

    “Once that happens, we’re going to be back winning again.”

  • Muncy defeats Columbia-Montour Vo-Tech, 58-0

    Muncy defeats Columbia-Montour Vo-Tech, 58-0

    ALMEIDA – At any level, three touchdowns on three plays is impressive. That’s what Muncy accomplished on its first three possessions on Saturday at Columbia-Montour Vo-Tech. But the Indians weren’t done there.

    Muncy scored five touchdowns on single-play drives in the game, and the Indians’ speed and depth were simply too much for an overmatched CMVT team as the three-time defending District 4 Class A champions picked up their first win of the year, 58-0 over the Rams.

    “It was great to see our kids start going the little things well,” said Muncy coach Sean Tetreault. “They got back to the basics and it was great to see them come out and execute.”

    Muncy put up 271 yards of offense in the first half alone as the Indians raced out to a 43-0 halftime lead. After their first three offensive plays, the Indians were averaging 36.3 yards per play, and it was only that low because their third drive started on the Ram 3-yard line due to a long punt return. For the first half, the Indians averaged nearly 17 yards per play.

    Branson Eyer hit his cousin, Ross Eyer, for a 50-yard touchdown reception on Muncy’s first play from scrimmage following the Indians stopping the Rams on downs at midfield on their first drive. After a CMVT punt, Branson Eyer connected with Chase Crawley for a 56-yard touchdown pass. Then, following a 43-yard punt return by Ross Eyer, Austin Johnson punched it in from three yards out to make it 21-0 with 4:59 left in the first quarter.

    CMVT then committed turnovers on their next four drives, and Muncy capitalized on three of them. Two more were single-play drives that ended with touchdowns. Branson Eyer found Bailey Hadzinikolov for a 29-yard reception, and then Ty Nixon went for a 15-yard touchdown run following a fumble recovery deep in Ram territory.

    It was another Eyer to Eyer connection on the second play of Muncy’s next drive, this one from 49 yards out, to put Muncy up 43-0 with still 7:28 remaining in the half. That touchdown capped an extremely efficient day for Branson Eyer, as he threw four passes, all for touchdowns, for 184 yards.

    “We’ve got some great skill players. We’re still working out some kinks upfront, but anytime we can get a playmaker in space, I think it’s always ways going to go well,” said Tetreault. “We’ll take our shots when we need to, but those guys up front really gelled this week and that’s what made the big difference. They gave us protection when we had to throw it and they opened up some great holes for the running backs.”

    With it being a running clock in the second half, Muncy was able to rest most of its starters, and the Indians’ deep roster – notably deep for a Class A team – took over and managed two more scores. Freshman Landyn Wommer ran for a pair of touchdowns, one each in the third and fourth quarters.

    “It’s great to get a lot of the younger guys’ experience. Anytime we can get them on the field, whether it’s JV games or varsity games, the more experience we can get, the better,” said Tetreault.

    That rest could come in handy for Muncy, as after a Saturday afternoon game, the Indians will need to bounce back quickly for a Thursday night contest at Wyalusing. That game was shifted from Friday due to a shortage of officials in the Northern Tier League. Wyalusing had a scheduling conflict on Saturday, so Thursday was the only option.

    “We get the short week so it was great to get some of those younger guys into this game to give our kids a chance to recover, get healthy and get ready for Wyalusing,” said Tetreault.

    It’s been an interesting beginning to the season for the Indians. Last week, Muncy found out just 48 hours before the game that their scheduled Week 1 opponent, Warrior Run, wouldn’t be able to compete due to COVID protocols. That led to them adding a new opponent for opening week in Northern Lehigh, which was in a similar predicament, just 24 hours before the contest. The Indians dropped last week’s game before rebounding in a big way this week, and now, will have a shorter than usual week to prepare for Week 3.

    For CMVT, the Rams were hurt by being outmatched from a speed standpoint.

    “We’re really hurting for team speed right now,” said CMVT coach Mark Varner. “We’ve got some guys out and that’s really showing on the defensive side. They got to our outside and we can’t get out there from the linebacker standpoint, or the defensive back is a little slow getting to the outside receivers.”

    Despite moving the ball decently in stretches, the Rams were unable to put together any sustained drives, as the furthest they moved the ball on the field was the Muncy 44 on their first second-half possession. But they lost a fumble to end that drive, and overall, turned the ball over six times, with Muncy scoring 29 of their 58 points off the Rams’ turnovers.

    Despite having a similar result as their game last Saturday at Northwest, only this time being shut out, Varner did feel his team showed improvement.

    “I thought our offense improved, we opened it up a little bit more. I thought we did more things better than we did last week,” said Varner. “We’re lacking some speed right now and that’s something we’re going to work on but I did feel like we played better today. I’m happy with the improvements I’ve seen, I thought we did some good things and we just need to keep making them and keep improving.”

    One positive was the running of Toby Zajac, as CMVT’s junior running back had a busy afternoon rushing for 85 yards on 27 carries. Also, a week after not completing a pass, the Rams went to the air much more as they threw 14 times, with Caden Long completing five passes for 39 yards.

  • Northwest Area wins big over Columbia-Montour Vo-Tech, 61-6

    Northwest Area wins big over Columbia-Montour Vo-Tech, 61-6

    SHICKSHINNY – In last year’s abbreviated season, Northwest relied heavily on a single feature back, as its offense centered around its big senior running back in George May. If Saturday night was any indication, the Rangers will be spreading the ball around much more this season.

    Six different players saw first half carries, and for the game, the Rangers put up 330 rushing yards and 429 overall, yet no individual player had more than 100 yards of any type, and the most carries any one player had was just six, as Northwest scored on all seven of its first half possessions and racked up 320 yards before halftime as the Rangers easily topped Columbia-Montour Vo-Tech 61-6 in their first official game as a member of District 4. The school district officially made the move to District 4 from District 2 over the summer.

    “We were excited to get out here tonight. It was great to see a full house on our side and nice to have a little normalcy back with high school football,” said Northwest coach Lon Hazlet. “We were able to start fast, which was our goal. I think today showed a bit of our weight training and speed training from throughout our offseason process.”

    Making it all the more impressive, was that one of the Rangers’ best skill players, halfback Landon Hufford, didn’t play.

    “We really think we can spread the ball around,” said Hazlet. “Landon adds a whole new element. But we like the kids we have, and they’re young. We don’t have a single senior skill guy. We felt that we wanted to be a bit more diversified in our offensive look and we were able to accomplish that.”

    Northwest’s eight first half touchdowns were scored by six different players. Adam Chonko had both a 46-yard run and a 60-yard punt return, while Andrew Bonczewski hauled in a pair of touchdown passes from Carter Hontz. With the exception of a 10-play drive in the second half with a running clock, none of Northwest’s scoring drives lasted longer than five plays.

    It was Hontz that started the barrage of touchdowns on the Rangers’ first drive as he capped a five-play drive – which turned out to be Northwest’s longest in terms of plays of the first half – with a seven-yard run after CMVT went for it on a fourth-and-1 from their own 35 and failed to convert on their opening drive.

    Chonko’s 46-yard score capped a two-play drive to make it 14-0, and then the Rangers got a sack and fumble recovery on the first play of CMVT’s next drive. One play later, Hontz found Bonczewski for a 30-yard touchdown pass. Then, just before the end of the first quarter, Jake Bobersky burst loose for a 38-yard touchdown run to make it 28-0.

    Chonko then gave the Northwest crowd another electric play as he returned a punt 60 yards following CMVT’s next drive. Following another forced punt, Hunter Gmiter made it a second one-play drive as he found a hole for a 37-yard touchdown run.

    Chase Biller and Bonczewski added late second quarter touchdown receptions to make it a 55-0 game at the half.

    “They run a good misdirection offense, so I think our eyes got us in trouble,” said CMVT coach Mark Varner. “We were looking for the ball carrier instead of maintaining our gap responsibility.”

    For CMVT, the Rams were held to just 29 yards in the first half, all on the ground, as the Rangers crowded the box with 10 and sometimes all 11 and dared CMVT to throw, which they only did six times, all unsuccessfully.

    “You’ve got to give Northwest a lot of credit. They slanted well on the defensive side of the ball and stopped everything we wanted to do,” said Varner. “But we continued to battle and move forward. I thought in the second half, our young kids played really well.”

    One of those younger players, freshman Mason Haught, carried the ball 10 times for 90 yards in the second half, and his running helped the Rams to their only score of the game, as Dante DiAgostino capped an 11-play drive midway through the fourth quarter with a two-yard touchdown run.

    2021 Outlook:

    Offense: We need to develop our run game behind our offensive line. We are inexperienced offensively, so we are looking for guys to step up and establish themselves in our offense. We have a few different personnel packages we like offensively, but again, with us being so inexperienced we will need players to earn their spot throughout camp and the season. We have some young players who bring a nice mixture of size and speed on the offensive side of the ball, it is just about finding our identity as a young team. Limiting turnovers and penalties will be a major key for us to be successful offensively.

    Defense: Our defensive line will need to be our difference makers for us. We have 2 guys back on our defensive line, along with some other players who have contributed on game day. We will be looking at that unit to provide leadership and produce for us defensively. Both our linebackers and secondary as units are young with the exception of 2-3 players, but they are good athletes who have committed to improving throughout the summer as we approach the camp. We have to force turnovers and get off the field early by pursuing the football and tackling efficiently if we want to be a solid defensive football team.

    Special Team: We are putting an extra emphasis on special teams this upcoming season. We have to win the field position battle, so our punt and punt return units must be efficient for us. Also, our kicking game is extremely important. If we can win the field position game, tackle in space, force turnovers, and take care of the football, we can be a very good team in the special team’s phase of the game.

    2021 Defensive Outlook: We will base our defense on our team’s speed and physicality. With a strong LB/DB core returning, we again will look to our defensive line to sure up our D. We have several players who are looking promising on the defensive front.

    2021 Special Teams Outlook: K Seve Spruill returns this year with a stronger leg. P Nick Scannapieco can also help change the field position game. We should see some decent speed on our special team’s units this season.

    2021 Outlook

    Offense: We will look to develop consistency in both scheme and performance on the offensive side of the ball. Our guys up front gained valuable experience last season and have been committed both in the weight room and in drills throughout the off-season. Kael Godshalk is returning healthy and has been a leader on and off the field. At quarterback, both Eric Striba and Greg Campbell have performed well in our off-season drills and continue to develop within the offense. Gabe Woolverton returns in the H-Back position and he will play key roles touching the ball as well as blocking. We will need some players to step into the receiver roles and there are a number of players that have shown they are willing to compete for those spots. 

    Defense: We will look to develop a more physical and fundamental defensive scheme. We need to improve in creating turnovers and getting off the field on key downs. We return players at the linebacker position and we will look to them to lead the unit both verbally and physically. We have a number of players competing for playing time in the secondary. We expect this group to compete and be physical against the run, as well as execute coverage assignments. The biggest area of improvement will need to be upfront. Our DL players have worked hard in the off-season and we are anxious to see them continue to improve once we are on the field.

    His size, strength, and determination make him a great offensive lineman which has led to many Power 5 offers including Penn State, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, and Stanford.  Ryan is also a 4.0 student and an extremely well-rounded student-athlete.  We are looking forward to having Ryan as a leader on our offensive and defensive lines, as well as our entire team, for the 2021 season.

He is a leader both on and off the football field displaying what a true student-athlete should be like on a daily basis. He was a starter on the defense his freshman year and a two-way starter last year on both offense and defense. Expectations are high for Gavin but we expect him to reach them because he always does.

    Coaches Comments: Aiden is a physical specimen who loves the weight room, and it shows on the field. We are a run-heavy team, so he didn’t get a ton of receiving chances, but if you watch the game you see the impact he has in the run game. He is a devastating blocker, who runs his feet on contact, and plays to the whistle, which is why he is getting all these D1 offers.

    We plan on getting him more involved in the offense this year because he is just so much bigger and stronger than most DB’s and LB’s that will match up with him. He will also make an impact on defense this year.

Now a senior, Julien is poised to have a big season in all three components of the game.

He is an extremely fundamentally sound lineman and plays with great passion. He can play guard and center on the offensive line and looks to make the move to DE this season. We will go as our offensive/defensive line go and Jacob will be a large part of both.

He is a strong blocker and a very sound route runner. He has strong and reliable hands and knows how to get himself open. He has played both inside and outside WR in our system and I am excited to see how he will perform as a senior.

    He is the younger brother of an outstanding 1st Team AP All-State WR (David Sanders, Jr.). Nadir is a playmaker and he cares about his teammates. I am proud to say I have seen him mature over the past 2 seasons both physically and mentally and that has allowed him to take on a bigger leadership role each season for our team.

He may be transitioning into more of an H-Back on offense his senior year but will continue to play DE for our defense. He is also a long-snapper and rarely leaves the field for our team. He is a very athletic football player and is a very strong student.

    He works hard every day to make himself the best player he can be. He is very reserved and very focused on having success both in the classroom and on the field. I am very proud of Logan and how he has built up his body and how hard he has worked to be a leader for our team.

    Coaches Comments: Lucas Long has been a valuable part of our program for the past two years. He just finished his sophomore year reaching the district 4 AA Championship. Lucas broke into the starting lineup as a freshman and has not looked back. He is really working hard in the weight room and has become a team leader. Lucas is maturing and growing not only on the field but in the classroom as well. He is a joy to have on the team, and I am looking forward to seeing where Lucas ends up. We are expecting a great deal from Lucas who will only be a junior this season. He has increased his strength, and speed and is mastering his blocking assignments. His work ethic and overall fundamentals are really starting to open some eyes. He has a tremendous first step and moves extremely well for a big man. He has violent hands and loves to finish his blocks. He is a great young man with a ton of potential.

Cole solidified himself as the 4th DB in our scrimmage, getting player of the week recognition. He continued to get better throughout the season and, although overshadowed by our 3 seniors for post-season honors, played like an all-league performer. We expect Cole to be a leader in the secondary, as now the returning roles are reversed.

  • LaDontay Bell has created a winning culture at U-10 champion Chester

    LaDontay Bell has created a winning culture at U-10 champion Chester

    Excuse LaDontay Bell for his enthusiasm. The Chester High coach is in his fifth season as head coach of the Clippers. He just saw his team win the U-10 Championship on Saturday with a 26-18 comeback victory over Truman, and it comes after Chester’s 7-3 year in its last fall season.

    Bell has a reason to be pleased.

    Under Bell, the Clippers have gone 2-8 (2016), 2-8 (2017), 3-7 (2018), then in 2019 going 7-3. Under Bell, the program looks like it is heading in a positive direction.

    “I had to look in-house the last year we went 3-7 and make some internal changes, and we moved LaFennis Terry to defensive coordinator and we’ve gone 7-3 and now 5-1,” said Bell, who’s 40. “We made that change, and we haven’t had many points scored on us at all. One of my biggest words is ‘momentum.’ We have a young coaching staff that holds itself accountable.

    “We expected to go far this fall. (Senior running back) Anton Sterling was back, and we have a lot of faith in (junior quarterback) Isaiah Freeman (a transfer from Strath Haven).”

    But Chester may have someone very special that—so far—is under the radar in 6-foot-3, 190-pound junior linebacker and defensive back Darron Miller, who’s receiving interest from Temple and Syracuse, but it’s a list that promises to grow.

    “We’re making strides to the kind of culture that I wanted,” said Bell, who is originally from Washington, D.C., who received his undergrad degree at Cheyney and graduate degree in criminal justice from St. Joe’s. “The program has been resurrected; the culture has been resurrected. Our primary concern is landing young men into college. Last year, we got nine kids into school.

    “I tell my coaches, ‘Let’s stay relevant.’ We don’t treat our players like high school players. We try to treat them like collegiate players, so when they get to college it won’t be a culture shock.”

    Chester now sets itself up for a strong fall. The Clippers have to be strong considerations with Academy Park and Penn Wood for the Del-Val League title.

    “I can’t wait for the fall,” said Miller, who carries a 3.1 GPA and scored a 22-yard TD in the first half against Truman. “We like where we’re going. We can be a very good team and I think people will turn around and take notice. I think we can handle that pressure, and we put in the work.

    “We know from going 7-3 last year that we would have a target on our backs. We’re a family that holds everyone accountable.”

    There is something tangible that the Clippers can grab and hold tight. It’s a program that now has stability in Bell and more will be expected in the fall. Bell’s Clippers’ Way involves friend, trust, and grit.

    His team appears to be following those words.

    “One of my messages going into the Truman game is have no regrets,” Bell said. “We scored 20 unanswered points and the kids didn’t give up. Consistency is a driving force with us, and really like we have entering the fall. I think going into the fall we’re contenders.”

  • The 2021 PSFCA East-West Class 4-6A roster announced by Pa. Football Coaches Association

    The 2021 PSFCA East-West Class 4-6A roster announced by Pa. Football Coaches Association

    PENNSYLVANIA SCHOLASTIC FOOTBALL COACHES ASSOCIATION (PSFCA) IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THE 2021 PSFCA EAST-WEST 4-6A ROSTER

    The TWO (PSFCA) East-West All-Star games will be played on Sunday, May 30 at Central Dauphin School District’s Landis Field in Lower Paxton Township, Dauphin County.

    In 2021, a new era will be ushered in. For the first time ever there will be TWO PSFCA East-West All-Star games. They’ll be played Memorial Day Weekend, Sunday, May 30, at Landis Field (Central Dauphin School District) in Harrisburg. and the games are split among classifications. They will be played in conjunction with the Big 33 game.  The first game will be held at noon and will feature players from 1A thru 3A classifications.  The second game starts at 5 pm and will feature players from 4A through 6A.

    The first PSFCA East-West game was held in June of 2001 at Mansion Park in Altoona after members of the Pennsylvania Scholastic Football Coaches Association (PSFCA) approached the Allegheny Mountains Convention & Visitors Bureau to help organize and produce a sister game to the Big 33 Game. The Big 33 Game features the top players in the state against players from Maryland. Unfortunately, only 34 players can be selected to represent Pennsylvania, and in a state, with a rich football tradition, many quality players are left out. Thus, the PSFCA East-West All-Star Game was conceived giving the honor to play in a statewide, prestigious all-star game to more players.

    On Thursday, February 22nd, PSFCA East-West Rosters can be viewed on the PSFCA website, www.psfca.net (1-3A will be released at noon; 4-6A will be released at 2 pm)

    Maxwell Football Club Announces State Players of the Year

    Maxwell Football Club President, Mark Dianno, announced the 2020 Maxwell Football State Players of the Year. The winners were Curt Henry from Paul M. Hodgson Vocational Technical High School in Delaware, Mikai Gbayor from Irvington High School in New Jersey, and Kyle McCord from St. Joseph’s Preparatory School in Pennsylvania.  The three players selected are from schools located throughout each respective state. Players were nominated by their coaches throughout the 2020 season and were evaluated based on criteria that includes: football performance, academics, and community service.

    Henry was a first-team All-Conference and second-team All-State quarterback during the 2020 season. He has signed a national letter of intent to play football at Delaware State.

    During the 2020 season, Gbayor garnered All-Conference, All-Group, All-County, and All-State honors. The linebacker is committed to the University of Nebraska, where he will continue his football career.

    Kyle McCord was named All-State and the Philadelphia Catholic League Player of the Year in 2020. He was selected to play in the All-American Bowl and will continue his football career at Ohio State University. Kyle completed 99 of 153 for 1,582 yards and 21 touchdowns. Joining Kyle at the Ohio State is teammate Marvin Harrison Jr. Last year he threw for 2,399 yards and 31 touchdowns.

    The winner of Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania Player of the Year awards will be the candidates for the Club’s 35th Jim Henry Award as the Outstanding Player in the region. The winner of the Jim Henry Award will be announced on February 1, 2021.

    Recent winners of the Jim Henry Award include Will Howard (Downingtown West H.S. – Kansas State), Keith Maguire (Malvern Prep – Clemson),   Shayne Simon (St. Peters Prep – Notre Dame), Jonathan Taylor (Salem H.S. – Wisconsin), Brandon McIlwain (Council Rock North H.S – South Carolina/Cal), Kyle Shurmur (LaSalle College H.S. – Vanderbilt), Mark Pyles (Lebanon H.S – Bucknell Univ.)

    On this year’s honorees, Maxwell Football Club President, Mark Dianno, said “This year’s group of Mini-Max winners were challenged by more than just their on-field opponents.  They had to contend with circumstances of the pandemic impacting their families, communities, schools, teachers, academics, practices, coaches, and games; yet they consistently rose to meet those challenges and performed extraordinary feats on the fields, in their classrooms and in their respective communities. Our three State Players of the Year distinguished themselves both on and off the gridiron during these challenging times. On behalf of the entire Board of Directors and all the members of the Maxwell Football Club, we congratulate and salute the MFC State Players of the Year on their tremendous accomplishments and wish them much success in their future endeavors.”

  • Central York’s Gerry Yonchiuk named All-EPA Class 6A Coach of the Year

    Central York’s Gerry Yonchiuk named All-EPA Class 6A Coach of the Year

    What a first year it has been for Head Football Coach Gerry Yonchiuk. 

    Central York is coming off their most successful season in school history. Central York finished the season 10-1 and took a trip to Hershey in the PIAA Class 6A Finals.

    The Panthers won two state playoff games and were runner-up in the PIAA 6A Finals. He had five players named to the PA Writers’ Class 6A team: Beau Pribula, Judah Tomb, Josh Gaffney, Seth Griffiths and Jack Smith. 

  • Governor Mifflin’s Jeff Lang named All-EPA Class 5A Coach of the Year

    Governor Mifflin’s Jeff Lang named All-EPA Class 5A Coach of the Year

    What a year it has been for the Mustangs. They finished the 2020 season with an 8-1 record, plus the first District 3 title in program history. His team made it to the Eastern PIAA Class 5A Semifinals. 

    Since taking over the program in 2018, his team has a record of 23-10.

    Watch out for the Mustangs in 2021. They return one of the top running backs in the nation, Nick Singleton.

  • Jersey Shore’s Tom Gravish named All-EPA Class 4A Coach of the Year

    Jersey Shore’s Tom Gravish named All-EPA Class 4A Coach of the Year

    The Bulldogs made history in 2020. 

    Gravish led his Bulldogs to their fifth District 4 title since 2013 and the school’s first-ever trip to Hershey in the Class 4A State Finals. His teams have won District titles in 2020, 2019, 2018, 2016, and 2013. 

    He started back in 2012 and his team went 0-10. Since his first District title, he has a 70-30 record and five state playoff appearances.

  • Wyomissing Area’s Bob Wolfrum named All-EPA Class 3A Coach of the Year

    Wyomissing Area’s Bob Wolfrum named All-EPA Class 3A Coach of the Year

    Wyomissing Bob Wolfrum team finished 9-1, runner-up in the PIAA State Finals.  He has a record of 322-85-1 and No. 11 all-time in Pennsylvania History. He has been the head coach at Wyomissing since 1987. His teams have won nine District titles and won back-to-back the last two years. 

    One of the keys this year for Wolfrum was his vaunted ground attack. His Wing-T offense was tough to stop. His team rushed for 2,901 yards on 401 carries. This was an average of 7.23 yards per carry and 18 players touched the ball for Spartans.

  • Southern Columbia’s Jim Roth named All-EPA Class 2A Coach of the Year

    Southern Columbia’s Jim Roth named All-EPA Class 2A Coach of the Year

    Nothing lasts 37 years anymore. Nothing. Concrete football stadiums decay. Bronze monuments tarnish in time. Yet, in Southern Columbia, Jim Roth keeps going to practice every afternoon. He’s been doing it for close to four decades. The high school coaching legend does it based on a simple tenet: He likes what he’s doing.

    Roth likes it so much that no one in the history of Pennsylvania state high school football has done what he achieved in Hershey, winning a state-record 456 victories in his 37th year as a head coach, breaking the old mark of the late legendary Berwick coach George Curry, who accrued 455 coaching victories over 46 years.

    The record-breaking victory could not have come on a larger stage than the PIAA Class 2A state championship, which Southern Columbia captured for the fourth-straight time with a 42-14 victory over District 10 champion Wilmington at Hersheypark Stadium.

    Southern Columbia won its 11th state championship (Roth is 11-8 in state title games) and extended its winning streak to a state-high 60-straight victory.

    But what motivates anyone to do something for 37 years?

    “I like what I do,” Roth explained rather simply. “It’s something I enjoy. I started as an assistant in 1980 and in 1984 I took over as a head coach. I always looked at it one year at a time. People would ask if I thought I would accomplish this many wins, or a state record in wins or whatever? I would tell them that I’m always the one who looks at the task at hand.”

    “Myself and our staff are that way. They never wavered. They never dropped off, even after all those good players that we had the previous three years. We coached those players like they had to still prove themselves.

    “That’s been a real key to our success. We’ve been able to keep the kids hungry. Kids can get complacent, but our staff has been able to keep them on track. It’s not about the number of wins. I’m actually kind of glad the school did most of the honor stuff when the record was tied, because it wasn’t as involved.

    “To be honest, I’d rather not have the recognition for most wins. It’s part of football, where there are so many moving parts and there are so many people involved. Obviously, if you’re the head coach, they’re going to pin those wins on you. But it’s about the program and being blessed to have the dedicated coaches that I have had, and the kind of kids and the community support that we’ve received over the years.”

  • Steelton-Highspire’s Andrew Erby named All-EPA Class 1A Coach of the Year

    Steelton-Highspire’s Andrew Erby named All-EPA Class 1A Coach of the Year

    Coach Andrew Erby of Steelton-Highspire was named All-EPA Class 1A Coach of the Year.  The last time Erby was named All-EPA Coach of the Year was in 2017. Erby’s team finished the 2020 season beating Jeannette 32-20 winning the Class 1A State Title. His team finished 10-0.

    The road to Hershey wasn’t easy. In a quarterfinal game, against Old Forge, they scored a last-second touchdown when Alex Erby hit Mehki Flowers on the last play as time expired, winning 39-36.

    In the semifinal game, trailing Bishop Guilfoyle 14-13, kicker Bryan Hernandez kicked a 34-yard field goal to put the Rollers up 16-14 with 38 seconds remaining in the game.

  • Thomas Jefferson squeezes by Jersey Shore, 21-14, for its second-straight Class 4A state crown

    Thomas Jefferson squeezes by Jersey Shore, 21-14, for its second-straight Class 4A state crown

    It looked safe. Jersey Shore couldn’t move the ball. The Bulldogs had minus-66 yards rushing. They had 97 yards of total offense, based on their last two drives.

    Still, a bolt of fright ripped through Thomas Jefferson Saturday night in the PIAA Class 4A championship at Hersheypark Stadium.

    What appeared comfortable for 47 minutes and 39 seconds suddenly appeared scary. Twenty-one seconds later, sitting 21 yards away, the fear vanished in a 21-14 victory for the Jaguars’ second-straight PIAA Class 4A state title.

    Junior Conner Murga led the Jags with 114 yards on 24 carries, including a touchdown, but it was his fumble—and his fumble recovery that made the difference.

    “I wouldn’t say we were scared,” Murga said. “It’s been one of the greatest games I’ve ever been a part of. The fumble took a toll on me, but I had to forget the last play and I made up for it on defense what I couldn’t do on offense.

    “These close games are what I live for. We blew so many teams out that we might have gotten a little relaxed. We made some mistakes, but in the end, we all came together and we won.”

    As the final quarter began, Thomas Jefferson appeared in control. Jersey Shore had just 8 yards of offense, and based on 33 plays, the Bulldogs were averaging less than a yard a play (.24). Yet, Jersey Shore was hanging around, thanks to a 51-yard interception return by senior linebacker Dalton Dugan with 2:44 left in the third quarter. Dugan actually gained more on the pick-six than the Bulldogs had in the game at that point (not helped by the Bulldogs’ negative-21 yards of offense in the third quarter).

    But Thomas Jefferson responded.

    On the ensuing drive, the Jaguars drove all the way to the Jersey Shore 1-yard line, but another interesting twist occurred, when senior linebacker Gabe Packer forced Murga to fumble and Jersey Shore’s Hayden Packer flopped on the loose ball at the Thomas Jefferson 2.

    The opportunity blew up for the Bulldogs.

    Risking the game with just under 6 minutes to play, on fourth-and-one at its 11, Bulldogs’ coach Tom Gravish opted to go for it. The plan backfired horribly, when Jersey Shore quarterback Branden Wheary was stuffed at the line of scrimmage and the ball popped free, which was recovered by Murga (making up for the earlier fumble) at the Jersey Shore 4.

    One play later, Thomas Jefferson’s DeRon VanBibber bulled into the end zone from the four with 5:48 left to play, resulting in the game-winning score.

    Jersey Shore added a late score when Wheary hit Owen Anderson with a 1-yard TD pass with :34 left.

    Then, it got really interesting.

    On the ensuing kickoff, Jersey Shore recovered an onside kick at the Thomas Jefferson 48. Wheary then winged a 27-yard completion to Cayden Hess at the Jags’ 21, giving Jersey Shore a first down with :21 left at the 21.

    Four incompletions later and it was over—and the Jags could breathe.

    “It was pretty nerve-wracking there in the end, but I knew we could get a stop,” said Thomas Jefferson senior quarterback Jake Pugh, who completed 13 for 29 passes for 179 yards and a touchdown. “Our defense gave up only 7 points all night, and we would like to have won this easier.

    “But we have a bunch of characters on the team and this is something that I’ll remember for the rest of my life. I wouldn’t trade it for anything.”

    Thomas Jefferson took a 14-0 lead into halftime. The Jags stymied any offense Jersey Shore tried to generate. The Bulldogs’ six first half possessions went like this: loss of downs, punt, punt, punt, punt and punt.

    For the half, the Jags had outgained Jersey Shore, 199 to 29, averaging 5.85 yards a play to 1.07. The real telling number came on the ground, where the Jags pushed back Jersey Shore for negative-35 yards.

    Thomas Jefferson, however, only led 14-0, on a first-quarter Murga 3-yard run and Preston Zandier’s second-quarter 28-yard TD reception from Pugh.

    “Hey, the bottom line is that we won,” Pugh said.

  • Steel High Survives Jeanette to Claim 1A Title 32-20

    Steel High Survives Jeanette to Claim 1A Title 32-20

    (Hershey) Jeanette and Steel High were no strangers to the Hershey Park PIAA stage on Friday.  These two set the championship table in the 11AM start of our two day smorgasbord of Pennsylvania football. This opening act did not disappoint.  A furious fourth quarter had Steel High capturing its third PIAA Championship in school history 32-20 over a valiant Jeanette team.

    Odell Greene was a battering ram on the ground for the Rollers racking up 195 yards and a TD on the ground.  The Rollers Defense had two sparkling pick sixes.  One by Daivin Pryor and the other  by Damien Hammonds that iced the game late in the fourth quarter.

    Jeanette got on the board first with a nifty pitch and catch at the 6:15 mark of quarter one.

    Steel High tied it up on their next possession with a nice run Mehki Flowers

    Toby Cline who had 149 yards receiving on the day set up a score by Robert Smith to put Jeanette back on top.

    Steel High had a huge drive to end the first half.  Odell Greene punched it across to tie the score at 14 as we went to the break.

     

    Most of the third quarter was a back and forth between the defenses.  Steel High finally put together a drive.  The Jeanette defense stiffened so Bryan Hernandez booted it through to put Steel High in front for good.

    Each defense slammed the door until midway through the fourth.  And it was the Steel High defense that got the points  Check out this pick six by Daivin Pryor

    Jeanette did not go down without a fight.  Smith hit James Sanders to make it 24-20 at the 5;56 mark.  But the dagger was put in by Steel High’s Damien Hammonds pick six. The 32-20 triumph by Steel High was the Third PIAA title in school history.

  • Steel-High wins on late field goal

    Steel-High wins on late field goal

     

    Steelton-Highspire kicker Bryan Hernandez knocked in a 36-yard field goal with 38 seconds remaining and the Steamrollers held off Bishop Guilfoyle 16-14 in a PIAA Class 1A semifinal Saturday afternoon in a cloudy Steelton.

    Steelton-Highspire moves on to face Jeannette in the PIAA Class 1A championship Friday at Hersheypark Stadium at 11.

    The District 6 champion Marauders (7-3) struck first when Keegan Myrick returned a fumble 40 yards just 15 seconds into the game.

    Bishop Guilfoyle had a chance to score again on a drive sparked by a 35-yard strike from quarterback Konner Kiesewetter to Haiden Garner that put them at the 13. The Marauders ended up settling for a 20-yard field goal that was missed with 3:30 left in the first quarter.

    The District 3 champion Steamrollers (9-0) put together a drive all the way down to the Marauders’ 14-yard-line until a fumble halted the drive. The Marauders ran out the clock to end the first quarter.

    Steel-High defensive back Daivin Pryor made a broke up a deep pass from Kiesewetter to Garner on second-and-17 early in the second quarter and Bishop Guilfoyle was forced to punt.

    An illegal procedure penalty gave the Rollers good field position. Odell Greene and Mekhi Flowers picked up chunks of yardage on the ground to put Steel-High in the red zone. The drive was again halted by a turnover as Myrick picked off Alex Erby at the three-yard-line.

    A heavy dose of Myrick on the ground and a pass interference call had the Marauders within striking distance with less than 2:00 in the half. Steel-High linebacker Amari Williams halted the drive with a sack on third down and the ensuing fourth-down conversion failed. The Rollers took over at their own 34.

    Erby hit Flowers for a 21-yard gain before being picked off by Karson Kiesewetter. Bishop Guilfoyle ended the half with a 7-0 lead.

    The third quarter began with punts by each team and a failed fake punt by Bishop Guilfoyle.

    On the next drive for Steel-High, Erby completed a seven-yard pass to Flowers to convert a fourth down. Multiple rushes by Greene put the Rollers on the 11-yard-line when the third quarter ended.

    Flowers finally pounded in a four-yard touchdown for the Rollers to tie it 7-7 with 11:03 left in the game.

    After struggling in the first three quarters with four turnovers and a deficit, Steel-High head coach Andrew Erby knew his team had it in them to come back.

    “Being down a touchdown in a football game is nothing compared to some of the things we had to go through mentally and physically this season,” Erby said. “Real life lessons will teach you how to handle those things and gel and lean on each other.”

    The Rollers forced a punt on the next drive and took over at their own 17. After a three-yard loss, Flowers made the play of the game. He took a screen from Erby 86 yards to the house to give Steel-High a 13-7 lead with 6:28 left. An unsportsmanlike conduct penalty forced them to go for two, which was unsuccessful.

    “I knew we had to get on the board,” Flowers said. “I told my coaches to get the ball in my hands. I’ll do whatever to make it work. I executed the play exactly how I wanted and it resulted in an 86-yard touchdown.”

    “He shows up and makes separation,” Steel-High head coach Andrew Erby said. “Today he very well showed that he may be the best player in the state to make a play like that.”

    The Marauders weren’t done.

    Konner Kiesewetter hit Karson Kiesewetter for a 48-yard gain to the Steel-High 24. Myrick finished the 73-yard drive with a six-yard touchdown run with 3:54 left. Bishop Guilfoyle was back up 14-13.

    The Rollers took over at their own 42. Erby converted a crucial fourth-and-six with a seven-yard pass to Tyrone Moore. The drive came down to a fourth-and-12 from the 28 with :52 left. After both teams took timeouts, Erby launched a ball downfield to Flowers. It fell incomplete, but a pass interference was called on Bishop Guilfoyle.

    Bryan Hernandez calmly drilled a 36-yard field goal to give Steel-High a 16-14 lead with 38 seconds left.

    The Marauders again fought back when Konner Kiesewetter hit Garner for a 45-yard gain to the Steel-High 19. The 36-yard field goal attempt to win the game went wide left with 11 seconds remaining. The Rollers held on.

    “It takes a lot of work from our safety plan to our athletic trainer to everybody meeting across the board,” Erby said regarding a season during a pandemic. “It’s been a lot of work and a lot of people who supported these kids so it’s just awesome.”

    “We tell our team every day to give maximum effort until the clock hits zero,” Flowers said. “We do that every game. That’s the difference between us and other teams. We fight until the end.”

    Now the Steamrollers head to Hershey with a state title on the line.

  • Southern Columbia tops Richland, 57-30

    Southern Columbia tops Richland, 57-30

    ALTOONA – It’s been nearly two full years since Southern Columbia was seriously challenged in a game. In the 2018 District 4 championship game, the Tigers led Mount Carmel by just five points at halftime, 13-8, before Gaige Garcia returned the second half kickoff 89 yards for a touchdown, which greatly shifted the momentum of that game, which Southern would go on to win 39-14.

    That game, just two days shy of exactly two years ago on Saturday – on Nov. 16, 2018, was the last time Southern didn’t win with the mercy rule being invoked, and also was the last time the Tigers had a single-digit lead at halftime until Saturday.

    Taking on Richland in the PIAA playoffs for the second straight year, this time in the quarterfinals after last year’s record-setting Tiger squad beat the Rams in the semifinals, Southern led by just five points at the half, just like two years ago against Mount Carmel, after Richland scored three second quarter touchdowns to erase a 20-point lead that Southern had built after the first quarter.

    But just like two years ago, it was a big play on special teams that shifted the momentum, and Gaige’s younger brother, Gavin, followed the big special teams play with a big defensive play less than a minute later, and those two plays provided Southern’s answer to the first bit of adversity it faced this year and the Tigers went on to top Richland 57-30 to advance to the state semifinals next week.

    Southern head coach Jim Roth admitted he was as curious as anyone how his team would react to being in a close game, since it’s been so long since the Tigers were in one.

    “I didn’t know how we were going to respond. My wish was to not even get in such a situation and just play these next three games without being challenged,” Roth joked. “But you’re going to play good football teams this time of year and we knew this team was capable of giving us a challenge with everything they have.”

    But like they did back in the aforementioned game in 2018 and so many times before that, Roth’s team answered the bell, and by doing so recorded the Tigers’ 58th straight win dating back to 2017, now just eight shy of the state record of 66 held by Clairton from 2009-13. The win also brought Roth within one win of the state record of 455 career wins, held by George Curry.

    Yet, those marks were the last thing on anyone’s mind at halftime, as Richland had an opportunity to potentially take the lead as the Rams received the second half kickoff trailing by just five, but Southern forced them into a three-and-out. Richland punted and Jake Davis returned it 51 yards to the Richland 9-yard line. Two Gavin Garcia rushes later, he had a one-yard touchdown to extend Southern’s lead to 35-22.

    Just :31 and two plays from scrimmage later, Garcia came in for a rare appearance on defense and jumped a short sideline route to pick off the pass, shed a tackle and return it 20 yards for a touchdown, which, after a two-point conversion, gave the Tigers a 43-22 lead.

    “Most of our players only play on one side of the ball for the most part, but there are times when we’ll do something like that,” said Roth. “We had a few players nicked up with injuries so we put Gavin and Wes (Barnes) in and they’re both outstanding defensive players so if we need to go to them, they’re available and they can go out and do a tremendous job on that side of the ball as well.”

    Davis would make another big play on Richland’s next drive as he ended a nine-play drive by the Rams by picking off a pass at the Southern 26 and returning it to near midfield, where the Tigers took over and scored again on Braeden Wisloski’s 33-yard touchdown to go up 50-22.

    “Because of how well our defense has played, that was my biggest concern at halftime was ‘how are we going to handle this?’” said Roth. “Are we going to lack confidence or are we going to go out and play inspired football, and that’s what we ended up doing and that speaks to the character of the team and it showed what they’re capable of doing if we do face another situation like this.”

    Early on, it looked like it may be a repeat of so many of the Tigers’ previous 57 consecutive wins and within the mercy rule by halftime, as Barnes scored three first quarter touchdowns to put the Tigers up 20-0 after the first quarter.

    The Tigers recovered an onside kick on the opening kickoff, although it wasn’t intended to be one but rather a squib that didn’t travel very far, and Barnes capped a six-play drive with a nine-yard touchdown run.

    On Richland’s ensuing drive, the Rams went for it on fourth-and-2 from their own 40 and were stuffed by the Tigers, and Barnes then capitalized on just one play with a 40-yard dash for a touchdown.

    “(Southern’s potent offense) plays into it (in deciding to go for it), but that’s who we are,” said Richland coach Brandon Bailey. “If it’s fourth-and-2 and we believe we can make it, we’re going to go for it, so it’s really not a change from we do throughout the season. Certainly their ability to score all the time and wanting to keep them off the field does impact that decision but we got for it a lot on fourth down.”

    Richland went three-and-out on its next drive and punted, and Southern got backed up to their own 36 due to a penalty and negative play. On second-and-27, Barnes hauled in a screen behind the line of scrimmage and then proceeded to shed about a half dozen would-be tacklers on his way to a 64-yard touchdown.

    But unlike most of Southern’s opponents over the last several years, the Rams answered the Tigers’ initial surge and fought back. They forced Southern to punt after a three-and-out on their next drive – another rarity for the Tigers – and proceeded to put together a 12-play, 73-yard drive capped by a 29-yard touchdown pass from Kellan Stahl to Griffin Larue.

    Southern answered right back on its ensuing drive as it recovered another onside kick and took just six plays to find the end zone again, this time on Wisloski’s first touchdown of the game, a one-yard plunge to go back up 27-7.

    But from there, Richland countered with a 27-yard touchdown run by Grayden Lewis, which followed a 35-yard pickup earlier in the drive, and a 17-yard connection from Stahl to Larue.

    The Tigers’ next drive then stalled on downs at the Richland 37. The Rams took over with just :40 remaining in the half, and on their first play, Stahl hit Larue down the right sideline on a jump ball that Larue was able to take away from Davis, who had him well defended. Richland then faked the PAT and instead, Stahl found Jordan Ford for the two-point conversion.

    “We made some stops there in the second quarter and our kids played really hard. Offensively, we were able to settle down and let the speed of the game come to us,” said Bailey. “We’ve got a good offense and we were able to identify some weaknesses and what they were giving us and we were able to score three touchdowns in that second quarter.”

    “They made some plays. Their scheme makes it tough sometimes to consistently shut down the offense because they’re doing a lot of different things and are giving you a lot of variety,” said Roth. “Some of those plays they broke and scored points on were some of the same plays we stopped effectively for most of the game so it was just a matter of a loss of consistency there in the second quarter with our execution and you have to give them some credit as well.

    “But the most rewarding thing about this win is the way we responded. It was obviously the first time we were challenged all year. It was a tough game emotionally. It was very eventful, a lot of things going on.”

    After Southern answered with its three straight touchdowns in the third quarter, on just the fourth play of the fourth quarter, following a Richland drive stalling at the Southern 6, Garcia burst loose for a 78-yard touchdown run to put the Tigers up 57-22 and invoke the mercy rule, much later in the game than usual for Southern.

    Richland scored a late touchdown on Sam Penna’s 24-yard touchdown run with under a minute to play.

    “We came here intending to win the football game. We knew they had a bunch of really good players and we felt we had a lot of good players,” said Bailey. “We knew we’d have to play a mistake-free game and we did for a while but that third quarter got away from us a bit. When we went back down by three scores that certainly made it difficult.”

  • Marvin Harrison Jr. is conquering the Catholic League record book—and more big names

    Marvin Harrison Jr. is conquering the Catholic League record book—and more big names

    Marvin Harrison Jr. couldn’t help it. He was born into it—the pressure of upholding a Hall of Fame namesake, his father, NFL Hall of Fame receiver Marvin Harrison.

    The 6-foot-4, 200-pound St. Joseph’s Prep conquered that mountain early, becoming the Hawks’ go-to receiver in their drive to consecutive PIAA Class 6A state titles.

    Now, Harrison is climbing more mountainous big names, like former Roman Catholic great and Notre Dame great Will Fuller, playing for the Houston Texans.

    On Saturday night, the Ohio State-bound Harrison became the all-time Catholic League leader in career receiving yards with 2,467 yards, surpassing Fuller’s career mark of 2,380, in Prep’s easy 42-0 victory over Roman Catholic at Cardinal O’Hara. Harrison, who finished with 97 yards receiving and a touchdown, is also tied with La Salle’s Jimmy Herron with 33 career Catholic League touchdowns.

    “Marvin is a great young man whose appreciation for the game and his work ethic stands out every day,” Prep coach Tim Roken said. “He was injured in the summer running routes with a cast on his hand. He shows every day and looks to get better himself. He also makes sure the young guys are following in his footsteps.

    “Every time Marvin catches the ball, his goal is to get the ball over the goal line every time. When he came here at first (transferring from La Salle), it was about getting used to our way of things and the standard he would be held to. He understood that and rose to the occasion. He’s very mature in how he carries himself on and off the field.”

    Harrison himself didn’t know he broke any records, nor didn’t even hear the announcement he broke Fuller’s record after a 37-yard reception in the first quarter. Fuller’s previous mark was 2,380 yards and Harrison was just 10 yards behind entering the game.

    “I had no idea, until I came off the sideline and one of my coaches told me,” Harrison said. “I didn’t even hear the announcement, either. The goal is the same, too, winning a third-straight state championship. This season was a little scary. We didn’t think we were going to have a season.

    “If I look back on this year, I’ll remember the obstacles we overcame. We didn’t even have a place to practice because of the (COVID-19 pandemic protocols). We want to do something no other Prep has done and that’s win three-straight state titles.”

    Prep senior quarterback Kyle McCord, who will be joining Harrison at Ohio State, saw how Harrison has grown in the last few years.

    “Marvin is about the team and the team success much more than he is about any individual stats, so it doesn’t surprise he didn’t know he broke the record,” McCord said. “Stats and records don’t mean anything. He’s a team guy, and it’s what makes him so special, because he is among the top-five receivers in the nation and he’s concerned with the team.”

  • Cougars wear out Whippets in Celebration of Downingtown football

    Cougars wear out Whippets in Celebration of Downingtown football

    In many ways, 2020 has been a strange year. The 2020 version of the “Celebration of Downingtown Football” would be no different. In most years this passionate rivalry has massive playoff implications. This year is the first time in over 15 years that neither Downingtown school participated in the district playoffs.

    In what was a great defensive game, the Cougars from Downingtown East won the Celebration of Downingtown Football over the Downingtown West Whippets for the first time since 2017, by a 21-7 score.

    The defenses dominated the first half as Evan Wickersham had a 16-yard pass to Julian Williams for the half’s only score. This created a  7-0 lead for the Whippets. The Cougars were able to move the ball, but three turnovers (a lost fumble, and two interceptions) and a turnover on downs put a screeching halt to their early drives.

    The second half, especially the third quarter, was a completely different story. Downingtown East wore out the Whippets, putting up 21 points out of halftime. A one-yard run by Josh Asante tied the game at seven, then a five-yard pass from Jenkins to Asante on fourth and four put the Cougars up for good. Stanley Bryant capped off the scoring from nine yards out.

    Offensively, the story tonight was how effectively Stanley Bryant and Josh Asante ran behind Downingtown East’s massive line. The two of them ran for 300 yards on 54 carries. Asante had 151 yards on 28 carries, and Bryant had 149 yards on 26 carries.

    Both quarterbacks struggled, as neither completed half their passes. Jamy Jenkins threw for 67 yards and two interceptions on 6-14 passing. Evan Wickersham was an uncharacteristic 10-25 passing for 102 yards.

    After the game, West coach Mike Milano said, “They got after us and wore us out in the second half. We made too many mistakes.” His counterpart Mike Matta said, “We were the best version of ourselves tonight. Special teams were on point. We wore them out. This is just what we do. They are a fast-paced team, 16 (Julian Williams) is a heck of a player.”

  • Shore dominates Mifflinburg in District IV Class AAAA Semifinal matchup

    Shore dominates Mifflinburg in District IV Class AAAA Semifinal matchup

    By BILL ALBRIGHT 

    EasternPAFootball.com Senior Writer

    JERSEY SHORE — After suffering through a few small hiccups in the past several weeks, the Jersey Shore Bulldog football team returned to its old form Saturday night at Thompson Street Stadium as they scored a bunch of points, played a suffocating defense and as a result, kept their season record perfect at 8-0 by demolishing Mifflinburg 48-7 in the semifinal round of the District IV Class AAAA playoffs.

    Not in the mix to begin the season, the Shoremen were sparked by sophomore Brady Jordan who scored four touchdowns, the first two Shore scores on runs of 15 and four yards. Dalton Dugan got into the scoring act when he recorded a tackle of Mifflinburg quarterback Jacob Reitz in the end zone for a safety and a 16-0 Shore lead.

    Jordan finished with 68 yards on 11 carries and his four scores, while Cam Allison rushed for 149 yards and one TD on 20 totes to lead all rushers in the game.

    When Jordan and Allison weren’t busy running the ball, Shore quarterback Brandon Wheary was effectively using the airways to complement the ground game. Wheary completed 14 passes of 24 attempts for 165 yards and a pair of touchdowns, the senior signal-caller, connecting with Dugan for 10 yards and a score and Owen Anderson for an 18-yard scoring strike.

    Although he didn’t find the end zone, all-state receiver Cayden Hess hauled in a half dozen Wheary tosses for 70 yards to lead the Shore receivers.

    So how suffocating was the Bulldog defense? Check out these numbers. 

    In first downs, Shore had a huge edge by a 24-4 spread, Mifflinburg not recording a first down until the mid-point of the fourth quarter. Mifflinburg rushed 26 times for meager 50 yards while Reitz could only find receivers for another 32 through the airways.

    Not to be blanked, Reitz sneaked over from one yard out for the Wildcats only score with 2:58 left in the game to set the final.

    With the outcome, Shore moves to 8-0 heading into the district title game to host Shamokin for their third straight district crown. Mifflinburg concludes its season, even at 4-4.

  • Nittany Lions Drop Season Opener to Indiana

    Nittany Lions Drop Season Opener to Indiana

    By BILL ALBRIGHT 

    EasternPAFootball Senior Writer

    BLOOMINGTON, IN — Although the season opener between Penn State and Indiana wasn’t exactly a classic, it certainly had its moments. 

    The Lions made a lot of mistakes in the first half that resulted in a 17-7 Indiana lead at halftime. 

    After settling down from a first half that saw him toss a pair of interceptions, Nittany Lion quarterback Sean Clifford led the Lions back to a 21-11 edge in the second half for a 28-28 deadlock to set the stage for some “bonus” football between the two Big 10 programs. 

    Here is how the “bonus” football unfolded that led to a frustrating 36-35 loss for the ‘Nits. 

    “As always we thank you for your efforts of covering Penn State football and especially for those who traveled to get here,” began PSU head coach James Franklin. “You have to give Indiana a lot of credit. They played well and we didn’t. That is not a good combination, especially early on.” 

    Penn State had the choice heading into the overtime period and the Lions decided to take the ball and put the Hoosiers on defense. On the possession, Clifford completed a pass for nine yards to freshman Parker Washington and the touchdown. Jake Pinegar, who had misfired on a pair of field goal attempts earlier in the game, was good from placement and that made the score PSU 35, Indiana 28. 

    Facing the 7-point deficit, it was time for the Hoosiers to try and pull the game out of the fire. 

    The Hoosiers got the opportunity to win the game when quarterback Michael Penix hit Whop Philyor for a 9-yard scoring pass. Choosing to go for the two-point conversion and the win, the Hoosiers were successful on what was to be the final play of the game when Penix rolled to his left and headed for the pylon. 

    Diving for the corner, Penix literally scored the game-winner by mere inches after the call was upheld on an official review. 

    Mistakes and missed opportunities were a big part of the outcome for the Lions. 

    “We have not been a team to get a lot of penalties and we have not been a team to have a lot of turnovers and tonight we had both,” said Franklin. “We had ten penalties for a hundred yards which is very uncharacteristic for us and we had a lot of turnovers and a number of those were in the red zone. A lot of different situations came up in this game. We finally got into a rhythm in the second half, but you can’t play like we did in the first half on the road against a Big 10 opponent and expect to win.”

    MIFFLINBURG – A strong defensive performance and the ability to run the ball for big chunk plays led the Mifflinburg Wildcats to a 28-0 home shutout against visiting Hughesville Friday night.

    The Mifflinburg defense forced four turnovers in the game – three interceptions and a fumble recovery – and ran the ball for over eight yards per carry in the victory.

    The win was the third in a row for the Wildcats and their fourth of the season, improving the team to 4-3 on the year.

    “Having momentum going into playoffs is great.” said coach Jason Dressler. “Just the wins for us is great for the boys. The season started off rough but finishing so far at 4-3 is really good for the players, the team, the school and the program.”

    The game began with Mifflinburg turning the ball over themselves. After forcing a three-and-out and a punting situation for the Spartans, Mifflinburg muffed the punt and gave the ball right back to the Spartans in plus territory. The Mifflinburg defense stepped up and delivered again, halting a five-play drive, and forcing another Hughesville punt.

    The two drives to open the game by Hughesville resulted in -5 yards of total offense, as the Mifflinburg defense sacked Hughesville quarterback Joseph Swink three times in the first eight plays of the game. Emmanuel Ulrich, Quintin Doane and Josh Antonyuk were responsible for the three sacks.

    A coffin corner punt set Mifflinburg up deep in its own territory for its first offensive drive of the game. The Wildcats started at their own five-yard line, and in an attempt to get some breathing room from their own endzone, Colin Miller broke a 95-yard run up the right sideline for the opening score of the game.

    “They had a good punt. They pinned us all the way back at the five-yard line.” said Miller. “Our line stepped up and opened the hole for me. It got us all pumped up and ready to go for the rest of the game.”

    On the ensuing Mifflinburg drive the Wildcats struck again. This time the team pieced together an eight-play drive, mixing run and pass plays equally before John Darrup broke away on a 35-yard touchdown run on the opening play of the second quarter. A missed extra point put Mifflinburg up 13-0.

    It was the defense stepping up yet again on the following drive. After forcing a third three-and-out in four drives for the Spartans, a bad snap on fourth-and-eight sailed way over the punter’s head and into the Hughesville endzone. The Hughesville punter picked the ball up and threw it out of bound, but with no receiver in the area and the ball not making it back to the line of scrimmage, intentional grounding was called in the endzone, earning a safety and two points for the home team.

    The result of the safety put Mifflinburg up 15-0 and gave the home team the ball back with 9:51 remaining in the opening half. Once again the offense made it look easy, driving the field in just under four minutes to pick up a third touchdown in the game.

    With 6:04 on the clock, and facing a second-and-eight, Mifflinburg quarterback Jacob Reitz dropped back and sailed a long pass into the endzone for Cannon Griffith. Griffith came down in the endzone for the score to put Mifflinburg up 22-0 which would be the halftime score.

    At the half Mifflinburg was firing on all cylinders, outgaining the Hughesville offense 273-23 in total yardage.

    The Spartans’ best chance to score came on the team’s opening drive of the second half. The visitors recovered a Mifflinburg fumble near midfield and was able to drive all the way down to the Mifflinburg nine-yard line. The nine-play drive ended on third-and-goal when a trick play went awry for the Spartans, ending in the team’s second interception thrown of the night.

    Mifflinburg took back over at their own nine-yard line and drove the length of the field for their final score of the game. An eight-play drive culminated in a two-yard touchdown run by fullback Cade Dressler.

    The next two Hughesville drives also ended in turnovers, with the Mifflinburg defense forcing a third interception and a fumble recovery. Carter Breed picked off a pair of the three interceptions with Emmanuel Ulrich adding one himself.

    All the turnovers kept Hughesville off the scoreboard and preserved the shutout win for Mifflinburg.

    “This is what I wanted to see out of the defense tonight,” said Dressler of the shutout performance. “More aggressive ball playing. Much better than we’ve seen the last two weeks. Stepping up with good sound defense. I’m proud of the stuff the defense did for us tonight.”

    “I’m proud of the defense,” added Miller. “They all stepped up tonight. We wanted the goose egg and we got it because everyone put their hearts out on the line.”

    Miller finished the game as the leading rusher and receiver for the Mifflinburg offense. He ran the ball 10 times for 172 yards and caught three passes in the game for 34 yards.

    “All week coach said, ‘run game, run game, run game’ and he was right. If you dominate the run game, you dominate the game.” said Miller of the team’s performance. “Our line stepped up. They opened up some beautiful holes for us.”

    The win puts Mifflinburg at 4-3 on the season as they prep for a playoff run.

    “Oh yeah. Love the momentum,” said Miller. “Everyone is very excited. We’re all pumped up and ready to go in the playoffs.”

    Hughesville’s leading offensive producer in the game was fullback Colton Yocum. Yocum ran the ball 14 times and accounted for 68 of the Spartans’ 81 rushing yards in the game.

    Hughesville dropped to 1-6 on the season with the loss.

  • Canton shuts out Muncy

    Canton shuts out Muncy

    CANTON – In the bizarre world that is 2020, Canton held both its home opener and regular-season home finale simultaneously on Saturday night.

    Because the Warriors were forced to shut down for about a month due to a COVID-19 outbreak in the school district, Saturday’s game was just Canton’s third game of the season, in Week 6, and what would ordinarily have been Week 8.

    But if the Warriors play like they did on Saturday, it won’t matter how many games they actually get in during the regular season. Canton battled through a scoreless first half but took control of the contest both offensively and defensively in the second half as the Warriors scored three second-half touchdowns to top Muncy 19-0.

    The game was a rematch of the last two District 4 Class A championship games, both won by Muncy on Canton’s home field.

    “Troy is our rival but Muncy has also become a rival for the last two years. We’ve been at each other and we both have good teams with lots of athletes and it’s back and forth each time,” said Canton coach Tyler Sechrist.

    With the win, although they are just 3-0 with one more regular-season game to go on Friday at Northwest, it is now likely that the Warriors will again host Muncy in two weeks in the district championship game for the third straight season, although with it being 2020, nothing can be for certain until it actually happens. But, if this bizarre season is what it takes to get Canton that elusive district title, Sechrist will take it.

    “This year has been so strange, opening up against Troy right off the bat, then having a month off, then coming back against Athens, who was undefeated,” said Sechrist. “But this will all prepare us for down the road. We’re hoping to stay laser-focused the next few weeks. They say that things that take so long to get, it feels a lot better when you actually get it, so we’re hoping this is the year.”

    But assuming Muncy does return to Canton in two weeks, the Warriors will likely face an even tougher Muncy squad, which played without nine players on Saturday, including starting quarterback Branson Eyer, due to COVID-19 contact tracing. In his cousin’s absence, Ross Eyer moved from receiver to quarterback, and the Indians were also forced to start three freshmen on defense.

    “Ross had never played quarterback before this week so we knew there were going to be some growing pains, but he did a good job controlling our offense and we needed to capitalize when we had opportunities,” said Muncy coach Sean Tetreault. “We’ll be happy to get all of these guys back this next week, but our guys came out and played hard. They could have used all the excuses in the world, but they never gave up and that was great to see.

    “Muncy-Canton is always a physical contest upfront and we made a couple of key mistakes tonight and Canton played a great game.”

    Although the Indians were missing some key players, Canton’s defense stepped up big, holding Muncy to just 123 total yards, including only 29 in the entire second half. The furthest the Indians reached on the field was the Canton 29-yard line, which came twice in the first half. On both occasions, Canton stopped Muncy on fourth down plays. Muncy ran just six plays in Canton territory in the second half, and Indians picked up just one first down in the second half, and Canton sacked Eyer three times,

    Canton was equally challenged offensively in the first half, as the Warriors managed just 53 first-half yards. Canton punted on all four of its first-half possessions, while Muncy punted twice before being stopped on downs twice. The second of those stops came on a fourth-and-1 from the Canton 29 with 2:39 left in the half, and Muncy wouldn’t get that far on the field again.

    “Our defense has carried our team the last few years,” said Sechrist. “We played tough and disciplined and tackled well. But Muncy is going to come back with more firepower and they’ll have their quarterback back.”

    The Warriors elected to start pounding the ball on the ground in the second half. After running the ball 12 times and throwing eight passes in the first half, Canton went almost exclusively to the run after halftime, and it paid off, as Hayden Ward ran for 128 of his 137 yards and Riley Parker picked up 91 of his 116 yards in the second half.

    The difference was evident on Canton’s first drive of the second half. Starting at their own 43, the Warriors went 57 yards in six plays, and Parker scored the first points of the game on a six-yard touchdown run. He had three rushes on the drive, while Ward had two, and the other was a 19-yard reception by Ben Knapp, the only completed pass of the second half. It was also one of just two catches for the standout tight end, who the defense keyed on once again.

    “We took a couple shots (passing), but it’s tough because everyone tries to take Knapp away,” said Sechrist. “A couple of times he was double and triple covered, so we just decided we had to run the ball, so we adjusted to their defense and where they were, and used our two good backs.”

    With Canton controlling the game on the ground, it was Knapp’s blocking rather than his catching ability that helped make a difference in the second half. After Muncy picked up its only first down of the second half on its next drive, Canton stopped the Indians on a fourth-and-2 from the Canton 46.

    The Warriors then had a promising drive stopped when Cooper Kitchen’s pass intended for Knapp in the end zone was picked off, resulting in a touchback. But Muncy was unable to do anything with the turnover, and Canton took back over at its own 31 after a Muncy punt and Canton penalty on the punt return.

    From there, the Warriors put together a nine-play, 69-yard drive featuring rushes on all nine plays, capped by a Weston Bellows one-yard touchdown run to make it 12-0 with 10:07 remaining in the game. Although all nine official plays were rushes, Canton did benefit from a pass interference penalty on a third-and-10 play, which kept the drive alive.

    Later in the fourth quarter, Canton put the game away when Parker went into the end zone nearly untouched for his second score of the game, this one from 23 yards with 3:35 remaining.

  • Northwest Area falls to Line Mountain 47-20

    Northwest Area falls to Line Mountain 47-20

    SHICKSHINNY – When a single player scores four touchdowns before halftime, you know it’s probably going to be a good night.

    When you have a player run for over 200 yards and you outrush your opponent, it’s also usually a good night.

    Both of those things happened to opposite teams on Friday night, as Line Mountain quarterback Jacob Feese ran for four touchdowns in the first half alone and finished with 142 rushing yards as well as 99 passing yards to go along with his four scores, while Northwest running back George May ran for 211 yards and a pair of scores.

    In the end, five turnovers by Northwest ended up being the difference, including a particularly costly and momentum-shifting one early in the second half, and Line Mountain improved to 3-1 with a 47-20 win over the Rangers (3-3).

    “We can’t turn the ball over like that and expect to win,” said Northwest coach Lon Hazlet. “It’s a recurring theme for us and it’s something we not only talked about but worked on all week. It was the same great effort from our kids but the same result based on too many mistakes.”

    Those mistakes, along with Feese’s performance allowed the Eagles to negate May’s performance, which came on 31 carries. But of his 211 yards, 115 came in the second half, which Northwest entered trailing 33-7 thanks to Feese’s first-half performance, as he ran the read-option to near perfection.

    “Jacob has been doing a great job running our option offense and he’s making the right reads and being disciplined and when it’s time for him to pull the ball and run he does,” said Line Mountain coach Brandon Carson. “He does a nice job protecting the football and getting some extra yards with how strong he is and he’s got good feet.

    Two of Feese’s scores came directly off read-option plays, while the other two came on quarterback sneaks, which followed big gains earlier in the drives. His first one was a 48-yard run on Line Mountain’s first possession to put the Eagles up 6-0 after the Line Mountain defense stopped Northwest on downs at the Eagles 28-yard line.

    Northwest answered right back with a six-play, 69-yard drive featuring five rushes by May, including an 18-yard and 33-yard pickup before he finished the drive with a four-yard touchdown.

    But from that point, Line Mountain would score on four of their next five drives, and nearly five out of six, with a 47-yard field goal attempt by Brayden Boyer falling just short to end the half.

    Feese ran it in from one-yard out following a 24-yard pickup by Beau Keim with 10:55 left in the second, then the Rangers coughed it up on their own 39 to give it right back to the Eagles. Feese then connected with Garret Laudenslager for a 37-yard reception on Line Mountain’s first play, and then Feese finished with a two-yard plunge to make it 19-7.

    “We knew they were big upfront and so we had some matchups on the outside that we liked and we saw some times we thought we could take advantage of it, so we did a nice job of audibling it and taking what was there,” said Carson. “Garret moved to tailback this year but with his height and how small some of their defensive backs were, we felt we’d be able to take advantage of that matchup.”

    The teams then exchanged punts with Line Mountain gained the edge in field position, and that turned out to be a key when the Eagles took the ball at the Northwest 23, and in just one read-option play, Feese made it four touchdowns in less than two quarters.

    After another Northwest punt, Feese marched the Eagles down the field again with the first half coming to a close, and Laudenslager finished the drive with an eight-yard touchdown run to make it 33-7.

    “Our game plan was good. We ran the ball well initially but we didn’t tackle their quarterback. He’s good, he’s big and he ran it well, my hat’s off to them. We’ve got a really young group and we show it at times,” said Hazlet.

    The Rangers then fumbled on the ensuing kickoff, giving Line Mountain another golden opportunity, but Northwest’s defense was able to hold the Eagles to the long field goal attempt to end the half.

    Although they trailed 33-7 at the half, Northwest looked like it might seize some momentum early in the second half before turnover and big-play essentially put the game away for the Eagles.

    Line Mountain received the second-half kickoff and on the Eagles’ first play from scrimmage, committed its only turnover of the night when Laudenslager fumbled and the Rangers recovered in Line Mountain territory at the Eagle 47.

    May then ripped off a 32-yard run to set up the Rangers at the Line Mountain 15 less than a minute into the second half. But two plays later, quarterback Carter Hontz tripped while making a handoff to May and the ball ended up on the ground, where it was scooped up by defensive lineman Dominick Bridi, who ran it back 87 yards the other way for a touchdown to give the Eagles a 40-7 lead.

    “We wanted to get a stop to start the second half and we did, we got a turnover, and then we took the ball down and we were just trying to slowly get back into the game and hoping we could get a few things to go our way. Then they pick it up and run almost 80 yards with it,” said Hazlet.

    The Rangers would score on their next two drives, getting a 30-yard touchdown run by Hontz and another touchdown by May, but both took over four minutes to complete, and in between those drives, Laudensalger scored his second touchdown of the night on a 21-yard run to largely negate Northwest’s two second-half scores.

  • Southern Columbia rolls over Hughesville 56-7

    Southern Columbia rolls over Hughesville 56-7

    HUGHESVILLE – When you’re averaging over 20 yards a carry and have scored touchdowns on a third of your carries for the season, it’s pretty tough to improve on those numbers as a football season moves along.

    Yet, that was exactly what Gavin Garcia did Friday night with his performance at Hughesville as he ran for 186 yards and scored three touchdowns on only four carries as Southern Columbia raced out to a 50-0 halftime lead and easily topped Hughesville 56-7. The Tigers, who led 36-0 after the first quarter, have now won 52 straight overall and 85 straight regular season games.

    “Gavin was very good the last two years and he worked his butt off in the offseason and he’s elevated his game,” said Southern coach Jim Roth. “He’s stronger and that’s helped him become more explosive as a runner. As good as he’s looked the last two years, he just looks better this year. His quickness and direction change make him so difficult to tackle. You can talk all you want about outright speed, but his ability to accelerate and change direction and then have the strength on top of it make him so difficult to tackle.

    “We’ve got a nice complement (in the backfield) with Barnes, who’s explosive, strong and quick and Wisloski is the same, so we’ve really got a good backfield in terms of balance. Down the road, when we get teams that key on Gavin, it’ll be difficult for them to handle the other two as well.”

    In fact, Garcia scored more touchdowns (3) than he was tackled (1). The same could be said for Braeden Wisloski, who scored two touchdowns on two touches. Southern scored touchdowns on four of their first six, five of their eight and six of their first 11 offensive plays. They even managed to score when they didn’t have the ball when Hughesville snapped the ball out of its own end zone for a safety.

    Hughesville went three-and-out after receiving the opening kickoff, and after a nice 47-yard punt put Southern back at its own 29 to start its first possession, Garcia busted loose around the right corner and went 71 yards for his first touchdown on the Tigers’ first play.

    After another Hughesville punt, Southern needed just three plays to score again when Wes Barnes got loose down the left sideline for a 45-yard score. Barnes came up just shy of his second straight 100-yard game, finishing with 96 yards on six carries.

    Following the safety, the Tigers took over at the Spartan 37 following the free kick, and then on its first play from scrimmage, Jake Davis caught a receiver screen just a few yards past the line of scrimmage turned it into a 37-yard touchdown reception, reversing field toward the end of the run to keep the play alive and find the end zone.

    On Southern’s next drive, Garcia got loose again for a 53-yard touchdown, again on the first play of the drive, and then on Southern’s next drive, Wisloski burst down the sideline for a 60-yard touchdown. He then scored again on Southern’s next drive when he hauled in a 21-yard pass from Liam Klebon to make it 43-0 early in the second quarter. Klebon completed all three of his passes for 63 yards and the two touchdowns, an equally as efficient of a night as Garcia.

    Hughesville was able to pick up a pair of first downs – its first of the game – on its next drive, but it turned it over on downs at the Southern 46 with 3:46 left in the second quarter. All it took was one play once again by Garcia, this one a 54-yard touchdown scamper, to make it 50-0.

    “Southern is so disciplined, they don’t turn the ball over, they don’t commit penalties, they’re fundamentally sound and they play hard and fast all the time,” said Hughesville coach Adam Gehr. “We won’t see another team like that the rest of the season. They don’t make mistakes, they’re fast and physical and they’re just plain better.”

    While Garcia and the Southern offense were once again turning in an efficient and outstanding evening, the Tiger defense once again did its part to contribute to the victory. Southern’s first team defense held the Spartans to just 15 yards of offense in the first half and just three first downs.

    “We knew the guys coming up on defense were going to be solid players. We knew our defensive line was going to be solid,” said Roth. “A lot of these guys weren’t starters last year but they played so much between the varsity time they got in and the JV games they played, they ended up playing more last year than the starters. They worked hard in the offseason so they’ve been able to step it up physically because of their work and it was just a matter of them getting their chance.”

    Matt Masala added a touchdown run for the Tigers in the fourth quarter, a 16-yard run late in the game.

    That came after Hughesville got onto the scoreboard on Devin Swank’s 10-yard touchdown run with 4:09 left in the fourth quarter. The Spartans were able to move the ball in the second half against Southern’s second team defense. They put together a 15-play drive on their first second half possession that stalled at the Southern 10 on fourth down, but not before they moved the ball 60 yards. Swank’s touchdown finished an 86-yard drive that featured a 38-yard pass from Joey Swink to Hunter Herr.

    “One thing we harped about all week was effort and they didn’t quit tonight,” said Gehr. “We had a great week of practice and it may not have shown on the scoreboard but to our team it did. Southern’s a good team and we won’t see a team like that the rest of the season. Our kids were ready to go tonight and that’s one thing I was proud about.”

    The loss caps a three-week gauntlet of games for Hughesville, which faced Loyalsock, Mount Carmel and Southern in consecutive weeks. Though they lost each game convincingly, Gehr believes his squad will be better for it as they face a less daunting schedule for the final three weeks of the regular season.

    “I told them these next three weeks, if you give us that same effort, we’re going to be fine,” said Gehr. “Playing teams like we have these last three weeks makes our kids tougher as it should and as long as they keep giving effort, that’s what I’m more concerned about as anything so if they do that, I’m going to be pleased.”

    Late Touchdown Run Seals 35-28 win for Lewisburg over Midd-West

    SELINSGROVE – The last time Max Moyers played a home game on a Saturday night at Selinsgrove last year, he tore his ACL, which ended his junior season.

    This time, Lewisburg’s Saturday night home game at Harold Bollig Memorial Stadium ended much better for the senior back.

    With the Green Dragons and Midd West tied 28-28 with 1:30 remaining and Lewisburg backed up at its own 17-yard line following a 39-yard punt by the Mustangs, Moyers took control. He hauled in a pass for seven yards, his only catch of the night, and had 15 yards added to the end of the play after a personal foul. Moyers then took off on back-to-back runs of 32 and 29 yards, with the second ending in the end zone with :47 remaining to help Lewisburg come away with its first win of the year, 35-28 over the Mustangs.

    “That was Max literally saying ‘I’m not losing.’ Their defensive tackle had him by his chest and he just ran through it and shoved him off,” said Lewisburg coach Marc Persing. “I think it was good for his confidence that he can still break off those runs. When you’re playing us, you’re going to try to stop Max, but when things get rocking and rolling, that’s a three-headed monster with Ethan (Dominick) Max and Cam (Michaels). We just need to get rolling more consistently.”

    That three-headed monster was in full force on Saturday. With his strong finish, Moyers finished with 131 yards on 21 carries and pair of touchdowns, while Michaels hauled in seven passes for 98 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He also ran for 35 yards on three carries, one going to a score. Dominick, who played running back his first two years but moved to quarterback out of necessity this year, completed 10-of-19 passes for 136 yards and a pair of touchdowns, including 7-for-12 for 103 in the second half.

    “We put on film tonight that our quarterback can throw the ball. He’s another kid that just works and works and he’s a natural running back that’s committed to playing quarterback for this team because that’s what we need to do to be successful,” said Persing.

    Prior to Lewisburg’s final drive, Moyers had been somewhat contained by Midd West, rushing for 70 yards on 19 carries. He scored the first touchdown of the game to give Lewisburg a 7-0 lead late in the first quarter, but from that point, it was a back-and-forth game, with neither team able to pull away.

    “Moyers is a good back and we knew that, but I’m really pleased with our defensive front tonight. They did a good job containing their running game but they got those two plays and that was the killer for us,” said Midd West coach Bradley Hatter.

    On Lewisburg’s next drive after Moyers’ initial touchdown, the Green Dragons put together a six-play, 43-yard drive capped by a Michaels’ 12-yard touchdown run on the first play of the second quarter, which was just the beginning of his night.

    But from there, Midd West put together a long 15-play drive that took nearly seven minutes and was capped by Hunter Wolfley’s 13-yard touchdown catch in the corner of the end zone, which was the beginning of a standout night for the Mustang senior.

    Wolfley would go on to score all four of the Mustangs’ touchdowns, running 22 times for 61 yards and a touchdown and hauling in four catches for 107 yards and three scores.

    “He’s a really good player and does everything we ask of him. He battled through injury this week and came out and fought and competed and I’m sure he’s hurting right now,” said Hatter. “We challenged our guys and the one thing we wanted to see out of them was them competing and we did that, and I think we saw what we can do when we do that for four quarters. We just didn’t make enough plays.”

    Wolfley’s next two catches went for 52 yards and 35 yards, both touchdowns in the third quarter, and both following a pair of Lewisburg turnovers, which gave the Mustangs a 21-14 lead.

    But Lewisburg was able to answer with Michaels’ 20-yard touchdown reception, which came on a fourth-and-5 play with 3:17 left in the third to tie the game. Following a three-and-out by Midd West, Michaels keyed Lewisburg’s next drive with a 31-yard catch to flip field position, and then a 26-yard touchdown reception to put Lewisburg up 28-21 early in the fourth.

    But Michaels committed a costly mistake later in the fourth when he allowed a punt to hit him despite trying to move away from it, and Midd West recovered the fumble at the Lewisburg 26, and six plays later, Wolfley ran it in from 10 yards on a third down play to tie the game with 4:17 remaining.

    The teams exchanged punts on their next two drives, the latter of which by Midd West pinned the Green Dragons at their own 17, setting the stage for Moyers’ heroics.

    “We could have folded at halftime or when we fumbled the ball on the punt, but these kids just wanted to win and deserved to win, and we’re just going to get ready for our three-game gauntlet now,” said Persing.

    MOUNT CARMEL – A short week can be detrimental in football at any level, but particularly in high school where the learning process is perhaps more critical than at higher levels of football.

    For Mount Carmel, playing two games in five days, along with a dominant performance by Bloomsburg’s defense, was one of the reasons for its upset loss to the Panthers last Saturday night. Mount Carmel’s usual strong running game was stifled to the tune of just 40 yards last week.

    But with nearly a full week to prepare, practice, recover and learn from mistakes made last week, the results were much better for the Red Tornados on Friday. Mount Carmel ran for 337 yards and scored on all eight of their possessions as the Red Tornados topped Hughesville 54-7.

    “We had an opportunity to practice this week. We went back into the shotgun which is familiar to our kids and I think it was a little easier to get some guys some touches,” said Mount Carmel coach John Darrah. “From the first game to the second game, we saw some things on film but we really didn’t have the time to fix them rather than just talking about them.”

    Although they were victorious, the win came at a bit of a cost, as Mount Carmel lost another starting lineman in Jack Robert, who sustained a leg injury while making a tackle in the second quarter. Robert joined fellow starting linemen Matt Kelley and Nick Nestico as being injured, and Mount Carmel’s depth up front is a big concern with Southern Columbia looming in another weeknight game next Tuesday.

    “It’s more than a concern. I think we’re in red alert mode there (on the lines) and this was a deep line coming into this year but we just have several guys out right now, so things happen fast but I thought our guys stepped up well and our line blocked well tonight with some different guys in there in different spots,” said Darrah.

    Despite dressing 22 players to start the game on Friday, Mount Carmel still managed nearly 10 yards per carry in the first half as they ran all over the Spartans. Damon Dowkus set the tone on Mount Carmel’s first play from scrimmage after receiving the opening kickoff, as he took a handoff and picked up 33 yards. Julien Stellar finished that drive with a three-yard touchdown run, and then Stellar scored his second touchdown of the night on Mount Carmel’s next possession after a Hughesville punt, this one from 29-yard out to give the Red Tornados a 14-0 lead just over four minutes into the game.

    “We told our kids all week if they didn’t match Mount Carmel’s physicality, it was going to be a long night and unfortunately we didn’t do that and the scoreboard reflected it,” said Hughesville coach Adam Gehr. “Our kids did fight hard, they didn’t quit and kept battling the best they could but they were just bigger, faster and stronger than we were tonight.”

    Tyler Owens finished Mount Carmel’s next drive, with a three-yard touchdown run late in the first quarter, and then second-string quarterback Pedro Feliciano and given a series, and he capitalized by capping the drive with a 24-yard touchdown to Michael Balichick, who used his height to take the ball away from the defensive back who had the pass well-defended.

    Hughesville then fumbled the ball away at the Mount Carmel 3 on the first play of its next drive, and freshman Ryan Weidner took it in on the next play for his first career touchdown to give the Red Tornados a 35-0 lead.

    “We went back into the shotgun which is more familiar to our kids and I think it was a little easier to get some guys some touches,” said Darrah. “I thought our guys stepped up well and our line blocked well tonight with some different guys in there in different spots.”

    The Spartans again fumbled on their next drive, this time on the drive’s second play, and Mount Carmel once again capitalized, with Owens capping a seven-play drive with his second touchdown.

    “I was actually ok with our offense. We moved the ball a little early but the first series, we had two penalties, and not a lot of teams can recover from 2nd-and-20. We just shot ourselves in the foot. I told kids you weren’t as bad as you thought offensively but we were our own worst enemy on offense,” said Gehr.

    A 38-yard field goal attempt by Hughesville on the final play of the first half fell just shy of the goalpost and the Red Tornados took a 42-0 lead into the locker room.

    With a running clock in the second half, Hughesville put together a nice drive to start the second half after receiving the second half kickoff, going 73 yards in seven plays, capped by Aiden Barlett’s 17-yard touchdown to avoid the shutout. Barlett ended up leading the Spartans with 49 rushing yards on just three carries, all in the second half.

    Mount Carmel answered with a 19-play, 63-yard drive that took over 12 minutes and was capped by a six-yard touchdown pass from Cole Spears to Austin Garancosky. Michael Reed added a two-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter to cap the scoring.

    Defensively, Mount Carmel’s first team offense allowed just 51 yards to the Spartans in the first half, including just 27 rushing yards.

    “We had some different guys in there defensively, too, and I thought they did well and we played pretty well defensively,” said Darrah.

  • Spring-Ford pounds Perkiomen Valley in the PAC-10 season opener

    Spring-Ford pounds Perkiomen Valley in the PAC-10 season opener

    Chad Brubaker openly admitted it, in this new world of COVID-19. With limited practice, limited interaction, and limited practice time, the Spring-Ford coach knew as much about his team as he did visiting rival Perkiomen Valley Friday night.

    Brubaker received a fast lesson, courtesy of his offensive line—Ian Harvie, Conner McMahon, Kyle Kennedy, Ryan Beppel and John Kaputa—that bulled through, pushed around and at times stampeded over the Perkiomen Valley defense for 237 yards and three touchdowns en route to an easier-than-it-looked 27-13 opening Pioneer Athletic Conference victory Friday night.

    Spring-Ford junior fullback Harry Adieyefeh rushed for a career-best 180 yards and two touchdowns on 35 carries, and senior Nick Teets carried eight times for 85, including a TD—and two touchdowns that were wiped out due to penalties.

    It was utter dominance by Spring-Ford, and it was also an omen for more big nights to come.

    “I never like Week 1, because you’re never sure how your team is going to react,” Brubaker said. “I think we learned that we need to finish on the offensive side. There were things we adjusted tom but kids didn’t get adjusted to during the game.

    “Our defense played extremely well, but we left a lot of points off the board. We had two touchdowns called back in the second half, and there was excitement and some letdowns. We’ll look at the film and see where we made our mistakes and try to get better. That’s all you can you.”

    Spring-Ford was in control by halftime. The Rams scored on two of their first three possessions. By halftime, Adieyefeh had rushed for 114 yards on 24 carries, and the Rams had pounded Perkiomen Valley’s defense for 206 yards, while giving up a mere 29 yards from scrimmage for the Vikings.

    Perkiomen Valley didn’t achieve its initial first down until there was 11:15 left in the half. The Rams first punt of the game didn’t arrive until there was 4:16 left in the half.

    At one early juncture, Spring-Ford ran off 16 plays for 147 yards in total offense to Perkiomen Valley’s eight plays and minus-4 yards of offense.

    The Vikings did not help themselves by turning the ball over four times. Upper Perkiomen is very young. The Vikings return two starters on offense and defense.

    “That’s no excuse,” Perkiomen Valley coach Rob Heist said. “We pride ourselves on being able to execute, and we were dominated in all three facets of the game. I am proud of the kids and the way the fought back.

    “I think our kids are resilient. But we’re thankful to even be out here right now. I’m very thankful for that. We’re going to learn from this, and put this behind us for Upper Perkiomen next week.”

    Spring-Ford would like to bottle what it did and carry it through the rest of the season.

    “The offensive line did a great job blocking, and we came into this game thinking our run game would be a huge priority,” Adieyefeh said. “The line did a great job blocking. It’s only one game. I’m hoping we have more big games like this.”

    Kennedy, one of three seniors on the Rams’ offensive line, had a good idea that they push Perkiomen Valley.

    “We beat them pretty bad last year with the run game, as we felt we could the same thing this year,” Kennedy said. “This was new for us, because it’s very unusual playing Perkiomen Valley this early.

    “Right now, Coach Brubaker been preaching to us to take things day-by-day, and that’s what we’re doing.”

    TAMAQUA, Pa. – Both Lehighton and Tamaqua entered Saturday’s game with 1-0 records, when it was over the Blue Raiders left as the only team still undefeated. Tamaqua prevailed 20-14 over the Indians in a Schuylkill League showdown at Tamaqua Stadium on a seasonably cool Saturday afternoon.

    Both teams battled in the opening quarter, but remained in a scoreless tie into the second period. The Blue Raiders struck first when senior quarterback Nate Wickersham ran for an 18-yard touchdown with 7:56 left in the half. The extra point attempt was blocked to make it 6-0.

    Lehighton responded with a lengthy drive, but failed to get on the scoreboard when the Indians missed a 33-yard field goal with three minutes remaining in the period. That wouldn’t end their first-half scoring chances, however, as on the next Tamaqua possession Lehighton’s Brandon Kocher intercepted a Wickersham pass deep in Blue Raider territory.

    The Lehighton offense capitalized on that short field and a few plays latter J.J. McDowell punched in a score from two yards out. Lehighton grabbed a 7-6 halftime lead.

    In the second half, Nate Curvey began to take control for Tamaqua. The senior tailback had an 18-yard rushing touchdown with 7:23 left in the third quarter. A successful two-point conversion gave the hosts a 14-7 advantage midway through the period.

    The quick-strike offense of Lehighton had an answer, however. A minute later Richard Fronheiser connected with Zachary Hunsicker for a 77-yard touchdown reception. The game was tied up with 6:18 left in the third quarter.

    The Indians later in that quarter drove down the field with one minute left in the third period and attempted a 37-yard field goal to take the lead, but it was blocked. The score remained locked at 14 heading into the final quarter of play.

    In the fourth quarter Tamaqua head coach Sam Bonner switched up the offensive philosophy and used Curvey as a lead blocker and gave Logan Hess the running back responsibilities. It worked wonders for the Blue Raiders as they matched down the field near the goal line. The drive stalled there and following a timeout, Tamaqua went to the passing game on a bootleg where Wickersham found Nate Gregoire for an eight-yard receiving touchdown. Tamaqua grabbed a 20-14 lead after a failed two-point conversion to earn the victory.

    Tamaqua will face Riverside on Friday night for their next contest. Lehighton is scheduled to host Pottsville on Saturday at 6 p.m. for the Indians’ 2020 home opener.

    Jersey Shore football team dominates Shamokin in 41-7 win

    JERSEY SHORE – With everything 2020 has thrown at the world, just being out on the football field and playing an actual game had to feel like a relief for most teams making their 2020 season debut on Friday.

    That was certainly the case for both Shamokin and Jersey Shore for their opener, and though both were ecstatic and relieved to just be playing, the Bulldogs appeared to enjoy it a bit more. Jersey Shore, which is coming off its best season in school history and a Class 4A state semifinal appearance last year, thoroughly overmatched Shamokin on both sides of the ball as the Bulldogs picked up right where they left off in 2019 and showed they will once again be one of the favorites in District 4 Class 4A with a convincing 41-7 win over the Indians.

    “We were just so excited to get out here, we’ve been having Zoom meetings once or twice a week since March and it looked like we might not get to this day,” said Jersey Shore coach Tom Gravish. “We had a great summer since we were allowed to come back and work out so we’re proud of our kids but it’s only one game so we need to work hard this week to get ready for next week.”

    Shamokin struggled to put anything together on offense, as the Indians were held to just 117 yards of offense by the veteran Bulldogs as Shamokin’s young offensive line that returns just one starter from last year struggled to open up any holes for the Indians’ running backs and the team managed just 26 yards on the ground. Of their 117 total yards, 66 came on two plays alone. Jersey Shore recorded eight sacks and three additional tackles for loss.

    We’re just glad to be back playing football – the guys needed it,” said Shamokin coach Henry Hynoski. “We certainly have the ability but we need to fine tune some things. We’ve got some young guys and some new guys that have a lot of ability but it all starts with running the ball and we really struggled up front moving the ball offensively so that’s where it all starts. It’s a work in progress but they have the ability.”

    Jersey Shore’s hurry-up, no-huddle offense had little problem with Shamokin’s defense early on as the Bulldogs scored on four of their first five possessions. Cameron Allison outscored the Indians by himself in the first quarter alone, as he kicked a 29-yard field goal on the Bulldogs’ first drive, then later went in for a 12-yard run on a sweep play and then made a nice cut back to a wide open hole for a 35-yard touchdown run, making for a 16-0 Shore lead after the first quarter. Allison ran for 128 yards on 20 carries to go with his two touchdowns. One positive for Shamokin on the night is that the Indians were able to block four of Allison’s six PAT attempts.

    But those were of little consequence to the final outcome. When Allison wasn’t finding holes in the running game, first-year starter Brandon Wheary was finding them through the air at quarterback. In his first career start, Wheary completed 16-of-25 passes for 172 and four touchdowns without an interception.

    “We feel confident in him and Owen Anderson if we need to play him at quarterback and we have some good younger kids too,” said Gravish.

    Wheary’s favorite target was Cayden Hess, who hauled in eight passes for 85 yards, including on a slant route for a 14-yard touchdown early in the second quarter that made it 22-0.

    “To come out and start the season against that (the no huddle), we knew that they do it but you can never simulate it perfectly in practice so I’m glad we got experience against it in our first game but it is tough to simulate exactly what they do in practice, but we did our best with it,” said Hynoski.

    Owen Anderson did a little bit of everything on the night for the Bulldogs as he had five rushes for 66 yards, including a nice 22-yard gain on a fake punt on the first play of the second quarter, and also caught six passes for 82 yards and a pair of touchdowns. His first touchdown catch came with 3:11 remaining in the first half as he ended up with a pass that was tipped a few times near the end zone before settling in his hands on the goal line.

    A nice over-the-shoulder catch by Dalton Dugan for an 11-yard touchdown reception put the Bulldogs up 35-0 early in the third quarter and put the game into the mercy rule. Anderson hauled in his second touchdown of the night later in the third quarter before the starters were pulled.

    Shamokin got on the scoreboard in the fourth quarter when the Indians capped a 67-yard drive with a one-yard touchdown pass from Brett Nye to Michah Miller.

    Offense: The Tigers are returning just 3 on offense in RB Nick Henry, WR Justin Rodda, QB Justin Holmes. Those 3 are very explosive players that will look to lead the pistol/spread attack. The entire offensive line and TE are all gone due to graduation. The Tigers offensive success will depend on how quickly an inexperienced line can gel together and can work as a unit.

    Special Teams: Tigers look to continue to be very solid in the special teams area. The kicking duties will again be in the hands of Andres Garrido. Punter will be Nick Henry.

Unfortunately, he was only able to compete in 4 games last season because of a nagging knee injury. A team captain last year, we have a high expectation of Aidan and his ability to lead his teammates as well as return to form as one of the featured players on our team. Aidan is a tremendous student with the ability to unite his teammates and lead by example, we expect him to be a surprise force in our conference this year.

    Coaches Comments: Aeden Holler is an essential part of our defense and offensive lines. He plays the flex strong side defensive end and interior tackle positions. He is a 6’4 220lb young man who has been a two year starter for us. His statistics do not jump off the screen as he ended this season with 48 tackles, 8 TFL, and 1 sack, but his efforts freed up others to put up the numbers they did. The two players surrounding Aeden were both honored as all state defensive players. Aedan is a grinder for our program. He never misses a lift and has committed himself completely to become the best athlete and young man he can be. He is an individual I really foresee growing tremendously over the next few years as a dominant player in his senior year and at the next level.

    Coaches comments: Kaide Drick came on strong halfway through his sophomore year as a hard-hitting safety. As a junior, he started on both sides of the ball and made a name for himself as a running back with his tremendous vision and outright refusal to go down. Kaide is one of the hardest working players I have ever coached and his dedication to the weight-room this offseason has paid huge dividends as he put on 15 more pounds of muscle. He will enter the 2020 season as our featured back and playmaker and will be in the mix for the area’s top running backs.

    Coaches Comments: One of the smarter players on the team, and you get that from someone who has been on the field since 9th grade. He is the swiss army knife for us. On offense, he starts at WR, but plays some TE when we go two TE’s. He does a great job, both blocking and receiving, but on defense his versatility really stands out. His versatility showed in that he had a few sacks and a few interceptions. He can play both OLB spots which is different for us, and can easily slide back into either safety spot if needed. We had some injuries early in the season last year, and we needed him to make that switch until some young guys were ready to play. Darren is a hard worker in the weightroom and a team leader.

    Coaches Comments: Evan has always been a fierce hitter, and that continued last season. When he hits you, the run is over. We will look for him to make plays all over the field for us next year. Evan is outstanding at getting after the qb, so we will look to move him all over the field to give him more oppurtunities to rush the passer. He was an all league guard last year, but 3 games into the season we made the full time switch and moved him to FB. He is a hard runner, who looks for contact. He finished runs, and he is always going forward. With the loss of the two senior HB’s from last year, we will look for Evan to make an even bigger impact with his second season in the backfield. Evan is a lead by example type of player. He is very coachable and will do anything you ask of him. Evan has upped his game in the weight room, and become the strongest player on the team, and it shows with his phsyical play on the field.

    Coaches Comments: Joe has been a play maker for us ever since he won the starting job in 2018. His ability to move laterally and accelerate makes him a dual threat. He set single season pass records for yards passing (2,188) and TD’s (29) in 2019. He rushed for 521 yards and scored 10 TD’s. His football IQ has increased significantly. We look for Joe to take that leadership role and have another big season. Joe is a remarkable athlete and a pleasure to coach.

    Coaches Comments: Steven is a relentless effort player. He goes hard from the first snap until the last snap. He works just as hard on the practice field and sometimes we actually have to have him dial it down at practice. He only knows one way….100%. He plays mostly DE for us, which is the toughest spot on the DL for our defense but, he has the ability to play all 3 spots, and will likely continue to get some reps on the nose. He is a great blocker on offense, but we would like to keep him one way because of depth and the impact he makes on the defensive line.

    Coaches Comments: Chance played for Millersburg High School last year. This coming season Upper Dauphin and Millersburg will be doing a Co-op between the two schools for Football under Upper Dauphin High School. Competing against Chance I was very impressed with his ability and his speed. Getting to know him this off-season convinced me that he has the work ethic and academics to succeed at the next level in spite of his lack of height. I expect Chance to be a Team Captain this year, which will be impressive has a new player on a team.

We expect him to make the fulltime transition to QB this year, but take comfort in his ability to move around if we need that of him. Defensively, Tre started as a freshman at CB and proved to play beyond his age. We moved him to safety last year to take advantage talent, range and high football IQ. He’s a very talented player entering his junior year as a seasoned varsity starter, we have high expectations and expect him to be one of our team leaders.

  • Governor Mifflin’s Jan Johnson finds an NFL home with a Penn State connection

    Governor Mifflin’s Jan Johnson finds an NFL home with a Penn State connection

    Jan Johnson has always made his own opportunities. Coming out of Governor Mifflin as a 6-foot-2, 195-pound linebacker, he received two offers: Akron and Fordham. The problem was, Johnson had dreams of playing for Penn State.

    So, he made it happen—not on the greatest of terms, but on his terms.

    Johnson wound up gaining 40 pounds in his time at Penn State. He wound up earning a psychology degree in August 2018 and a master’s in management and organizational leadership in May 2019.

    And the self-made Johnson wound up going from preferred walk-on status at Penn State to being a two-year starter at middle linebacker.

    Now, the 2015 Governor Mifflin graduate is living another dream, beginning in a way he’s perfected, signing as an undrafted free agent with the Houston Texans, under former Penn State head coach Bill O’Brien. The New Orleans Saints, the New York Jets and Tennessee Titans also showed interest in Johnson, before he signed with the Texans.

    Johnson actually loved the process that led to this next stage.

    “You speak to the coaches over the phone and you go through the process like everyone else, and I really enjoyed it,” said Johnson, who turned 24 on April 9. “But the scrutiny that you undergo is no different than coming out of high school.

    “You’re going to get that ‘You’re too slow,’ or ‘You’re not any good this,’ or ‘You’re not any good at that.’ You just have to get the opportunity to prove people wrong. I just want to get my foot in the door.”

    Johnson didn’t carry his phone with him over the weekend, enjoying the time at home as best as he could during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis.

    Johnson is being projected as a linebacker by the Texans, and he’s in favor of playing special teams, which he played at Penn State on punt and kickoff return for the Nittany Lions. He’s not afraid of running down the field with his hair on fire, slamming into brick walls.

    “I love that,” Johnson said. “I’m willing to get on the field any way I can. I want to try and play football for as long as I can. I do see the sacrifice that pro football players go through. As long as you’re the hammer, you’re good and there are right ways and wrong ways to play the game.

    “I think overall I play the right way. I can look back at my career at Penn State, I just wanted to find a spot on the field, and I wound up becoming a captain and a two-year starter on the field. Going into the weekend, I hoped to get drafted.”

    Johnson has sound advice for high school players who are thinking of taking the same course he did. He’s never let anyone define him. No major schools recruited him out of high school. Still, he played for a Big Ten program.

    “It is possible, but you have to find a balance and find where you belong, and I felt like I belonged at Penn State,” Johnson said. “I am 6-foot-2½ and I had the size to gain more weight coming out of high school. I walked on, but I wasn’t small, either.

    “You have to be willing to work and prove that you belong. My scenario worked, but as a young kid, you need to look at the roster, see what is happening at that college, and look where you fit, in terms of position and what’s happening at that school.

    “I would say to any kid today playing high school football to be realistic. You can’t be 5-foot-9, 175 pounds and be realistic about playing Division I football as a middle linebacker. For someone like that, it’s best to go to a Division III school, get some film, and if a growth spurt comes and you become a monster, they’ll find you.

    “You have to know who you are and what you can do, and see where that fits with schools that you’re looking at. You can go from a walk-on to a scholarship player, and beyond. It worked for me.”

  • Wilkes-Barre Wonders: The Oral History of Pennsylvania’s Greatest O-Line

    The vein of prep Pennsylvania football talent is as rich as the Commonwealth’s anthracite deposits.  Over 500 Pennsylvania high schools have sent nearly 1,500 players to professional football.

    Some schools like Erie Central Tech (Fred Biletnikoff), East Brady (Jim Kelly) and Ringgold (Joe Montana) own bragging rights on producing an NFL legend.  A handful of schools like Aliquippa, Northeast or Wilson West Lawn can claim multiple alumni that distinguished themselves in the NFL.

    But in a commonwealth of nearly 13 million people, Wilkes-Barre’s James M. Coughlin High stands alone.  The Crusaders produced both a first-round pick who made a Pro Bowl, and a second alum who started in a Super Bowl.  That exacta is rare enough.

    Rarer still, is that not only did Pro Bowler Ron Solt and Super Bowl alumnus Bruce Kozerski play the same position (offensive line), but the two graduated in the same class.  Forty years ago, the Coughlin Crusaders dominated the Wyoming Valley Conference, in part to arguably the best offensive line in Pennsylvania high school history.

    This is the story of that Coughlin team, and the wild success that their alumni found after graduation.

    The ’77 and ’78 Coughlin Crusaders each only won six games.  At that point, the Coughlin line had a raw 6’4” athlete in Solt, who was still new to football.  They also had a good-sized lineman in Kozerski, who was limited due to a junior year knee injury.

    “Ronnie didn’t start playing football until he was a freshman on the junior high team.  He was obviously a big kid, but in his first year didn’t play a lot.  In his junior year, he became the starting guard,” remembers Coughlin running back Dave Shimshock.  “Bruce started as a center in his junior year and injured his knee.  He started getting into the weight room at that point and he was working out a lot to get the knee back in shape.”

    “I had a knee operation as a junior.  In my family, academics came first,” Kozerski explained.  “And by the time I started to think I was pretty good, I got hurt and the reality check was ‘I’ll never play in college so the best thing to do was to take care of my academics.’”

    Kozerski ultimately earned Academic All-American honors at Holy Cross, but there was a lot more football in his future.  “After my knee injury, my Mom wasn’t going to sign the physical form to let me play,” Kozerski shared.  “I begged my Dad to play and he said, ‘I’ll sign this paperwork but you’re going to need to start working out because if you get hurt again and I get divorced, I’ll never forgive you.’

    “That’s when I really took to the weight room,” Kozerski continued. “I went hard on my legs and back.  I was a 500 pound squatter and a 500 pound dead lifter.  I was an average bench presser for a guy my size but my hips, backs and legs were super strong.  That made all of the difference.”

    “Brucie had a lot of ability but I think his brain carried him as far as my body carried me.  I used to beat the hell out of myself but Brucie used his head,” Solt recollected.  “He knew how to study and prepare.  It was, ‘We’re gonna play a 4-3 defense this week where the nose tackle does this, this and this.  I’m going to prepare for him.’  Brucie was smart enough to get all of his ducks in a row.

    “Brucie was one of the best high school athletes that ever came around,” Solt continued, “but what goes for me and for a lot of other people is that if you don’t put in the hard work when you’re young, it never comes to fruition.  Bruce started when he was about six years old.  I didn’t start until I was a teenager so it was a little different.  But he had some talent.”

    “Ronnie, in my opinion, was way more athletic than I was at that point,” Kozerski admitted.  “I was 6’5” 265 pounds and never saw myself as that athletic, but Ronnie was.  He was a 220 pound kid in high school who was 6’4”, ran real well and he was a big strong lifter.”

    Kozerski and Solt both stood out in track and field.  Solt, also an excellent wrestler, placed in the top six in the State shot put championship.  Kozerski had similar success in States with the discus.

    “I did alright.  It was fun.  Track became a release for a lot of things that were building up in the offseason.  You work out and you train but you also want to compete against another guy that maybe threw the shot put or discuss, so we did that,” Solt remembered.  “I bet if you walked down the street all day long, you couldn’t find a guy who threw the discus better than (Bruce) threw.”

    The raw materials were in place to produce a special Coughlin fall in 1979.  “Going into our senior year, we had Ronnie as the right guard and Bruce as the right tackle.  Bruce had really increased his strength and his physicality.  We had a great line,” Shimshock said.  “We had a lot of starters coming back.”

    Coughlin traditionally scrimmaged Williamsport.  “In previous years Williamsport had really handed it to us.  And the tide turned during that scrimmage.  That’s when I knew that we had a good team,” Shimshock concluded.

    “We were pretty good up front of course with two guys who did make that kind of commitment and who didn’t know you could have that kind of success.  We didn’t know, at the time, that it was an exceptional offensive line,” Kozerski added.  “(Shimshock) ended up with several thousands of yards and a ton of touchdowns.  I think we saw everybody’s best shot.  I don’t think teams took special care to blitz or twist or run different things at us.  Not that I’m aware, of course, I was just a dumb high school kid at that point.”

    “Brucie was big and strong but we had a running back on our team that had 2,500 yards,” Solt echoed.  “Dave Shimshock went on to go to college with Bruce at Holy Cross.

    “Even though we wanted to think we were balanced, we really weren’t,” Solt admitted.  “We ran the ball 40 or 50 times a game and threw maybe 10 or 15 times a game.  Just something to keep you honest.  But the running game went a long way.  In high school, it becomes a predominant part of the game.  If you don’t have a good running game, high school teams just don’t seem to prosper.  I think you need to use up a certain amount of clock as you’re playing the game.  You can’t leave too much time to opponents.”

    “We ran the ball probably 85 to 90 percent of the time.  It was an I-backfield and it was wham, power or sweep most of the time and a lot of it was obviously behind those two,” Shimshock shared.  “The other part was running to the left and for a guy who was 240 pounds, Ronnie was fast.  His leading and pulling on a sweep was to my benefit.  Teams knew what was coming.  But because of the line and those two guys they might stop us every once in a while, but over the course of a game, we would just wear people out.   We had a couple of halves where teams kept us in check but we came out in the second half and wore them down.  There were games I can specifically remember where that was absolutely the case.”

    Coughlin went 11-0 and won the Wyoming Valley Conference.  The defense yielded just 17 points all season, with Shimshock and Solt playing two ways.  There was no PIAA championship then so Coughlin advanced as far as it could- to the Eastern Conference finals- only to be upset 19-6 against Scranton Central.

    “They were the better team that day for sure.  But it was a great year.  Obviously, it was a lot of fun all year long and the other thing with that team is that we had been friends, for the most part, our whole lives,” Shimshock remembered.

    All three had plenty of football left after Coughlin graduation.  Solt was the team’s blue chipper.  “Ronnie was being looked at by everybody,” Shimshock said.  “Maryland had a recruiter named Gibby Romaine.  He had recruited so many players from the area like Charlie Wysocki and Mickey Dudish.  Ronnie ended up going there and obviously had a phenomenal career at Maryland.”

    “I had a few offers with wrestling but it was more like ‘If you come here, you can wrestle if you really want to.’  I went to Maryland and I didn’t really have the desire to wrestle.  It was hard enough to prepare in the offseason for the next year, let alone start wrestling,” Solt noted.

    Solt, who graduated with a 3.8 GPA, had his heart set on the Fighting Irish.  “I told Notre Dame’s coach I wanted to come to Notre Dame my whole life,” Solt laughed.  “He said, ‘That’s really admirable.  I think you should go to Maryland!’”

    Shimshock was talented, but just 5’9” 165 pounds.  “I wanted to go to a D1 school but it needed to be a smaller D1, and this was the year before the FCS came into play,” he said.  “For Bruce, so the story goes and I don’t know how true it is, but Coughlin sent films out to colleges and Holy Cross saw Bruce on my film.  He was definitely under the radar.  I don’t think anybody realized how good he was.  Holy Cross saw him on my films and immediately became interested.”

    Neil Wheelwright, Holy Cross’s coach, came to Shimshock’s house to sign the letter of intent.  Shimshock’s Dad escorted Wheelwright to the Kozerskis, where Wheelwright obtained a second Coughlin signatory that night.

    “Ronnie would be a four or five star prospect where, coming out of high school today, I think Bruce and I might have been two or three star guys,” Shimshock feels.

    “I had opportunities to play at Miami (FL), North Carolina, Army, Boston College and a few other places.  But I took a trip to Holy Cross and really loved it,” Kozerski recalled.  “A huge reason why I chose the college that I did is because they had a program that allowed me to get a mechanical engineering degree and still play Division 1 football.  Most five-year programs are three years at one school and two years at another school in a different town.  This was five years in the same town.  I could play football for Holy Cross and go to Worcester Polytech at the same time.”

    All three distinguished themselves in college.  Solt made several All-America teams in his 1983 senior year where, protecting a quarterback named Boomer Esiason, the Terrapins completed their second straight 8-4 campaign.

    Shimshock holds the distinction of rushing for 100 yards against Army as an underclassman, and then intercepting four passes in one game as an upperclass safety.

    Kozerski was a first team All-American who won Holy Cross football’s first NCAA Post-Graduate scholarship.  He was part of the second class inducted into Holy Cross’ Ring of Honor.

    “We turned the program around.  In my freshman year, we were coming off of a very bad season.  In the second year, we were 6-5 and then 8-3.  We lost to Boston College when Doug Flutie was there and we had the lead with five minutes to go,” Kozerski described.  The Crusaders went 9-2-1 and earned an NCAA playoff berth in Kozerski’s senior year.

    The Indianapolis Colts selected Solt with the 19th pick of the 1984 Draft.  If Solt had never played a pro down, the pick alone guaranteed him a place in NFL history.

    Just weeks before that draft, Solt and the rest of the state of Maryland woke up one morning to discover that the Baltimore Colts had vanished. Owner Bob Irsay notoriously loaded the team into vans in the dark of night and moved to Indianapolis.

    The Colts’ first drafted as Indianapolis in 1984.  They took cornerback Leonard Coleman with their first pick.  With an extra first round pick- the Denver Broncos’ selection- the Colts conscripted Solt.

    “Irsay had the moving vans come move the whole team out, so I went,” Solt said.

    Why did the Colts have that extra pick?  Baltimore had the first selection of the 1983 Draft and chose a Stanford outfielder named John Elway.  The Elway family did not want John to play for Baltimore and Elway had posted impressive enough numbers with the Yankees’ single A affiliate- he slugged .464 and it’s safe to assume he graded out with a plus arm – to make spurning the Colts for baseball a credible threat.  Baltimore dealt Elway to Denver, receiving the pick that they turned into Solt.

    The Irsay family’s penny-pinching offers caused Coleman to sign with the USFL and Solt to fight for a better contract.  “Ronnie was holding out after getting drafted.  He called me one day and wanted to work out, so we met at the old high school stadium,” Shimshock remembers.  “We were running 40-yard sprints.  I wasn’t slow.  I was beating him by just one step…and I ran a 4.6.  Ronnie at that time was probably 6’4” 280, and literally just one step behind me running a 40.  That was an evolution for him that he had gotten so much bigger and in such better shape while at Maryland.”

    212 picks after Solt, the Bengals selected Kozerski in the ninth round.  There were 336 players selected in the 1984 Draft.  Just 20 played more NFL games than Kozerski.

    “Bruce was invited to the combine with another player from Holy Cross and did fairly well.  Bruce obviously made the most of it,” Shimshock relayed.  “I fall back to his intelligence and great technique.  He was big and didn’t make mistakes.  I don’t think any of us were surprised at all that he made the Bengals roster.  Bruce is a very good long snapper so you’ve got a guy who could snap, who could play any position on the offensive line and obviously is a good player.  I think it made the decision for the Bengals really easy.”

    Removing the 1987 NFL strike, Solt started 59 of his first possible 60 Colt games.  A terrible Colts team Solt’s rookie year had improved to 9-6, and winners of the AFC East, by 1987.  Solt not only got his first taste of the post-season, he also made a Pro Bowl along with fellow linemen Ray Donaldson, Chris Hinton and Hall of Fame running back Eric Dickerson.

    Dickerson advised Solt that the Pro Bowl game check wasn’t worth it if the player got hurt.  “I said ‘Eric, I can’t do that.  This is my first time.  I’ve gotta play like it means something.’  He said, ‘B.S.  If I get hurt, they don’t pay us enough money.’  I think they were giving us $5,000, which I thought was great at the time,” Solt recalled. “I could bring people from Pennsylvania over to the game!  I never had that concept of how much it would cost and how much we were making.  I just cared about having fun.  If I got hurt?  I’ll be better in a couple of weeks.

    “I’ll tell you a funny Eric story,” Solt continued.  “I was coming into mini camp in the offseason and Eric said, ‘Ronnie, don’t stay in a motel room.  Come on over and stay at my house.’  I thought, alright, it was close to the field.  About 4:30 in the morning all of these weird people started coming through the door.  I thought, ‘Maybe I should have stayed in the hotel!’  I said, ‘Eric, as much as I like hanging with you, I have to prepare for practice the next day.  We can’t be having parties at 5:00 in the morning!’”

    At the same time, two hours southeast of Indianapolis, Kozerski firmly lodged himself in the Bengals’ starting lineup.  He started 15 games in 1986 and started all but two games from 1988 through 1994.

    “I wanted to seize the opportunity and if I got the chance, I was going to do it.  I made it because of an injury,” Kozerski relayed.  “I was a long snapper for the Bengals and in week seven of my rookie year, we had a guard who got hurt.  I started against the New England Patriots, who I followed at Holy Cross, when they had Andre Tippett and Steve Nelson- two Pro Bowl linebackers.

    “The very first thing our coach said that week was, ‘Max Montoya, if you block Andre Tippett, we’ll win this game.’  (Max) was the guy who got hurt in practice.  I was snapping for kicker Jim Breech in practice, and (head coach) Sam (Wyche) walked over to me and said ‘Koz, if you block Andre Tippett, we’ll win this game.’  Boomer (Esiason) didn’t sleep.  Sam didn’t sleep.  (Offensive line coach Jim) McNally didn’t sleep all week,” Kozerski admitted.  “But we played and I had a helluva game.  I got one of the best compliments that I ever got in my playing career.  I happened to pass Paul Brown in the hallway the next Monday and he said ‘Koz, our team didn’t miss Max.  You did as good of a job as a Pro Bowl guard.’  I was flabbergasted and from that point on, I guess I was in the picture.”

    Kozerski, a three-time Pro Bowl alternate, was on his way.  “I played eight games at center the last half of that season because Dave Rimington got hurt.  And before you know it, I was starting at left guard,” Kozerski stated.  “In the second half of the second season, Rimington got hurt again and I had to go back to center.  The next thing you know, he is holding out so they said ‘Let Koz play center.’  I did and they cut him.  Center is where I spent most of my career.”

    Kozerski played next to multiple Pro Bowlers Montoya and Anthony Munoz.  Munoz, who is in the discussion for greatest offensive lineman in NFL history, overlapped Kozerski’s Bengal career for nine seasons.

    “People don’t know how much of a student of the game Anthony was.  He would bring a fresh notebook every week,” Kozerski described.  “He’d take notes on his guy every day until that book was filled.  There was nothing that surprised him.  He’d take away the guy’s best move, then he took away the guy’s second best and before you know it, you have a guy trying to get to the quarterback with his third or fourth best move and in that League, you don’t get to the quarterback with your third or fourth best move.

    “It was a running joke that McNally would hand out blocking sheets and the guy over Anthony would be erased.  He’d say, ‘We know that guy is gone.’  Anthony was that good.  After playing next to him for so long, you learned how important the details were: the hand placement, the head placement, the feet,” Kozerski continued.  “Not only that, but you won’t find a more genuine, real loving man in this world.  To be that vicious and violent on the field while off the field, he is the nicest man you’ll ever meet in your life.  He is God fearing.  He is just terrific.”

    Kozerski and Solt faced off twice.  The Bengals won in Indianapolis 23-21 on 1987’s opening weekend.  Solt, now an Eagle, got the better of Cincinnati in November 1991 when Philly beat Cincinnati 17-10 at the Vet.  Solt, given promises from the Irsay family that he would not be traded, ended a lengthy holdout and reluctantly signed a new contract in September 1988.

    The Irsays traded him to Philadelphia a week later.

    “’Ron is an All Pro who will come in here, start immediately at right guard for us against the Giants and really help us,’” Eagles Coach Buddy Ryan said at the time. “’He is a young guy who has only been in the league a short while, and I think he’ll come in and really put us over the top.’”

    Three years on the Vet’s notorious turf did not help Solt’s knees…or anyone with a feline allergy.  “We’d go out for walk throughs, and there would be all of these wild cats running around,” Solt recalled.  “I bet I could count 20 cats running around the stadium.  Easily!  That’s why you have cats, to get the rats.”

    Solt deserves a lot more credit for his Philly years than he gets.  He started 42 of 48 games from 1989 to 1991 when the Eagles went 31-17.  The ’89 offense finished in the top half of the NFL in points and yards while the 1990 offense ranked third in the NFL in both points and yards.  The 1991 offense struggled mightily after Hall of Fame-caliber quarterback Randall Cunningham was lost for the year early in the second quarter of the season opener.

    Eagles coach Buddy Ryan famously benched Solt in the 1990 Wild Card game after Cunningham was sacked.  Video shows that Ryan benched the wrong guy and Solt was run into by his own teammate.  “Watch the running back right here.  He knocks the guard (Solt) off of his block and allows that penetration,” is how broadcaster Dick Vermeil broke the play down to the ABC audience.

    Solt, who retired in 1992, unfortunately never got a playoff win.  Kozerski won three post-season games, including Cincinnati’s 21-10 defeat of Buffalo in the AFC Championship that punched a ticket to Super Bowl XXIII in Miami.

    “Obviously, the Super Bowl was the highlight of my career,” Kozerski said.  “There were so many good games and playing against great people but the Super Bowl was special with my family being there.  When you lose by a touchdown pass with 34 seconds left, you’re doing something right.  Or you were until those 34 seconds.

    “My big focus that week- and there were a lot of bells and whistles that went along with that, absolutely- was zeroing in on San Francisco’s Pro Bowl nose tackle Michael Carter.  He was the All-Everything and the argument was if I couldn’t block Michael, we didn’t have a chance,” Kozerski said.  “I want to go back to Merlin Olsen in the third quarter when he said, ‘He has had a fine day on Michael Carter.’  And this is on the national broadcast.  That was about as well as I’ve ever played, and I’ve had good games.  But that was such a demanding game for me that when it was over, win or lose, I was just burnt out.”

    Kozerski’s six-month old son Matthew was immortalized in that week’s Sports Illustrated.  Walter Iooss’ photo of a completely gassed Kozerski walking off the field with his infant boy is iconic.

    “Koz” retired in 1995.  His 172 games are eighth most in Bengal franchise history.  A Cincinnati.com poll this August ranked Kozerski as one of the top 30 greatest Bengals of all time.

    All three stayed involved in football after their playing days.  Shimshock’s son attended Coughlin and played football at Colgate- his Dad’s archrival.

    “It’s one of those things we have in common.  It was a lot of fun when he was at Colgate because we hated Colgate at Holy Cross.  And vice versa,” Shimshock shared.

    Kozerski has been the head coach at – ironically- Holy Cross High School- in suburban Cincinnati for over 20 years.  He also heads the Math Department and teaches honors Calculus, making him John Urschel before there was John Urschel.  Kozerski still gets back to Wilkes-Barre for family functions.

    Solt’s son Ryan was also a standout lineman at Coughlin.  Solt served as an assistant for the Crusaders and helped coach current Colt lineman Mark Glowinski at Lackawanna College.  “I could sit around but what fun is that?” asks Solt, who has had 13 operations.  “Every day, I get myself up, go to the gym and get something done.”

    While all three shepherded young football players, it’s unlikely that any of them as coaches will strike the gold mine that Coughlin yielded in 1979.

    “I get my chops busted all of the time that I ran behind two pro offensive linemen and anybody can do that.  It’s funny because it’s true,” Shimshock admits.  “You’d watch (Ronnie) play, and it was just cool.  It’s cool to this day that both of those guys were in the NFL.  One of my favorite moments is watching (Bruce) on NFL Films when they did the Super Bowl in 1989 and to see him walking off of the field at the end holding his infant son and pointing into the stands.

    “Bruce’s Mom was the school nurse.  We all knew each other and the family for forever,” Shimshock continued.  “They’re still legends in this area for where their careers went.  It’s a source of pride for me and I’m sure for everybody else who played with them on that team.”

    “One of my driving forces was that my father was the son of a coal miner.  My Mom was a tough daughter of a coal miner,” Kozerski relayed.  “All my Dad talked about were the guys who hung around the bar saying, ‘Aw, I coulda, woulda, shoulda’ and what they might have been.  Dad told me all of the time, ‘Don’t be one of those guys who shoulda, coulda, woulda.’  That stuck with me forever.”

  • Southern Columbia puts an exclamation point on perfection with a 74-7 record-setting 2A state title victory

    Southern Columbia puts an exclamation point on perfection with a 74-7 record-setting 2A state title victory

    Matt Topper Photos

    HERSHEY — The game was over before it started. It was done exactly 55 minutes before it started. Initially, the portents flowed in drips, then became more rampant when the Avonworth players began noticing to their right the Southern Columbia team filter out of its locker room at Hersheypark Stadium Friday afternoon.

    That’s when it was over.

    The Tigers hardly paid attention to Avonworth as they gathered at their end of the field. That’s what a proceeding reputation can do, mixed with overwhelming confidence.

    The only thing missing was filling in the final score and by how much—which actually mattered, since Southern Columbia was looking to break its single-season record shared with Terrelle Pryor’s 2007 Jeannette team for most points scored (860) in a season by a Pennsylvania team.

    Perfection and records, however, would have to take a few minutes.

    Avonworth took the opening kickoff 73 yards over six plays, and ended when quarterback Park Penrod hit a wide-open Trevor Faulkner for a 43-yard TD.

    Then Southern Columbia responded—with a bazooka.

    The Tigers scored 74 unanswered points en route to an expected 74-7 blowout, winning their third-straight PIAA 2A state championship and 10th overall state title.

    Southern Columbia’s 74 points was the most scored in a PIAA state championship game (the previous record was previously owned by North Allegheny, which scored 63 in a 4A 2012 63-28 victory over Coatesville). The Tigers’ 67-point difference was the largest margin of victory in state title history.

    The victory placed an emphatic exclamation point on a perfect 16-0 Southern Columbia season, and for a senior class that went 63-1 that mercy ruled every team they faced this season.

    Avonworth, which was playing in its first PIAA state championship, ended a single-season record breaking year at 15-1. The Antelopes, unfortunately, ran into a team of destiny.

    “To us, this was a normal game,” said Southern Columbia defensive back Jake Davis, 5-foot-9, 160-pound junior who had three interceptions in the first half and finished with nine this season. “That drive was a miscommunication. We got our heads in it and just moved on.”

    The Tigers’ Cade Linn’s 46-yard interception return, the Tigers’ third-straight pick six, provided the magic 41st point that gave Southern Columbia the single-season state record 861st point with 10:20 left in the half. The Tigers finished the 2019 season with a new state record 894 points, averaging an astounding 55.8 points a game.

    Davis had three of the Tigers’ six interceptions—all in the first half. Avonworth turned the ball over six times in the first two quarters (and 9 times overall, with six interceptions and three lost fumbles). Five of the first six turnovers were converted into touchdowns—with three-straight pick-sixes coming from Davis, Linn and Cal Haladay.

    “We told our kids that we have to play perfect and we came out and had a great, perfect offensive drive,” Avonworth coach Duke Johncour said. “Our defensive game was executed, we made them sustain a long drive with no big plays. And then turnover, after turnover, after turnover, and you’re not going to come back against a team like that.

    “It’s a tribute to them. They made those turnovers happen.

    “But we started something good here. This is the deepest run we made and I’m really proud of our kids.”

    By halftime, the Tigers held a bloated 55-7 lead. Ohio State-bound Julian Fleming, Southern Columbia’s 6-foot-3, 200-pound standout wide receiver who was chosen the Pennsylvania Gatorade Player of the Year, seemed almost an afterthought.

    Fleming scored on TD receptions of 12 and 63 yards. He finished with four catches for 124 yards. But six different players scored for Southern Columbia in the first half, and eight different players scored on 11 of the Tigers’ touchdowns.

    “The senior’s legacy will live on for a while, and as I mentioned earlier, for us to have such a consistent season that we’ve had, it takes a lot of people and not just the guys that have the big names and so worth,” Southern Columbia coach Jim Roth said. “There are a lot of guys on this team that are outstanding high school football players that go through somewhat unnoticed, because of some of the players that we do have.”

    Avonworth came into the game averaging 232 yards rushing a game, but the Tigers held them to 32 by halftime.

    The Tigers had amassed 314 yards of total offense, averaging 11.6 yards a touch, while the Antelopes picked up 114 yards of total offense, averaging 3.3 yards a play.

    With 3:25 left in the third quarter, Roth gave his offensive senior core a curtain call to a strong ovation from the Southern Columbia fanbase. With :52 left in the quarter, Roth gave his defensive starters their time.

    “There’s no better way to go out, and it’s been a great ride with great coaches,” Fleming said. “It is definitely bitter sweet. I couldn’t ask for any of a happier ending. There were a lot of tears shed there in the end.”

  • Kelley’s 5-TD night sends Dallas to State Finals

    Kelley’s 5-TD night sends Dallas to State Finals

    DANVILLE – It was a great night to be a Dallas running back Friday night in Danville, primarily starting running back Lenny Kelley, who posted a five-score performance to help his undefeated District 2 Class 4A champion Dallas Mountaineers earn a 56-28 victory over District 4 class 4A champion Jersey Shore to advance to the state title game in Hershey.

    The win improved Dallas to a perfect 15-0 on the season. The last time the Mountaineers were undefeated this late in the season, the team won a state title in 1993.

    “These are great young men, and this is a great year for Dallas,” said Dallas coach Rich Mannello. “This is the time of year where the work put in in the weight room and conditioning take over, and you saw that tonight.”

    The game got off to an inauspicious start for both teams, as the first three drives of the game resulted in three turnovers. Dallas turned the ball over on the first two offensive snaps of the game.

    “Nobody got rattled,” said Mannello. “If you looked at the sideline, we just went out and played defense and continued to do out thing. Eventually we were able to take over.”

    Dallas won the coin toss and elected to receive. On play number one, Kelley ran to the right side, but lost control of the ball shortly after crossing the line of scrimmage. The fumble recovery put Jersey Shore in great position to score the game’s opening points.

    Unfortunately for the Bulldogs, quarterback Tanner Lorson threw an interception on the third play of the drive to give the ball right back to Dallas.

    Once again on the first play of the drive, Dallas turned the ball over again. After a completed pass down the field for a gain of 18 yards, a Dallas wide receiver fumbled the football and gave possession right back to the Bulldogs.

    The turnover was the third of the game, which all happened in the game’s first three minutes.

    “That’s not what you want to happen,” said Kelley. “Fumbling the first two times we touch the ball is ot what we wanted, but we didn’t think about that. We decided to keep moving forward and we got the job done.”

    This time Jersey Shore took advantage. The Bulldogs marched a short 44 yards in just five plays to earn the game’s opening score. Running back Josh Malicky ran the ball up the gut, scoring on a second-and-one play from the Dallas 10-yard line.

    This would be the only time Jersey Shore held the lead in the ballgame, and it didn’t last long.

    On the ensuing drive, Dallas finally hit its stride on offense. Dallas drove the ball 62 yards on just a pair of big plays. A fullback dive resulted in a 15-yard gain up the middle for Danny Meuser and then on the next play, Dallas quarterback Michael Starbuck hit wideout Luke Delgaudio for a 44-yard catch and run to even the score.

    Dallas stopped Shore on a short possession and got the ball back with 7:32 remaining in the opening quarter. Once again the Mountaineers moved the ball flawlessly down the field to take their first lead.

    This time Meuser got the score after catching a ball in the flat and turning it upfield for a 19-yard catch and run for a score.

    After finding themselves in a 21-point hole in the first quarter last week, it was obvious the Bulldogs were not going to give up, especially this early. The team regained possession of the ball and marched right back down the field to knot the game back up at 14-all.

    Dallas struggled to stop the quick up-tempo pace of the Jersey Shore offense, which drove the ball 79 yards on eight plays, eventually scoring on a Cayden Hess reception. One of his two receiving touchdowns on the night.

    “We know eventually the weight room is going to take over,” said Mannello. “The pace of play and how (Jersey Shore) runs that offense is so fast. All of our guys play both ways and we’re in great shape.”

    From here on out it became the Kelley show. On Dallas’ next five possessions of the game, four ended in Kelley touchdowns. Some from long-distance, and some from up close.

    Kelley scored on touchdown runs of 12, 42, 2, 19 and 78 yards on the night, He carried the ball 26 times for 268 yards.

    “I felt a lot faster tonight,” said Kelley. “I think it was (quarterback, Michael) Starbuck. He let me use his gloves this week. I think it had something to do with that.”

    Kelley also commented on how great the Dallas offensive line played in the contest.

    “The holes were amazing tonight,” he said. “We got lucky a couple of times, but other that that, the holes were humongous.”

    Jersey Shore flashed some signs that the team could be staying in the game, but those signs quickly faded when the defensive unit struggled to contain Kelley and the rest of the Dallas offense.

    Down 35-14 at the half, Jersey Shore opened the third quarter with the ball and marched right down the field. Shore pieced together a 10-play, 63-yard drive to get back within two scores, but Kelley and the Mountaineers took right back over and drove down to tack on a score themselves.

    “It’s been fun,” said Jersey Shore coach Tom Gravish of his 2019 squad. “It was a thrill to get here. Every day was a blast. This team’s personality was great. It was such an enjoyable season.”

    Jersey Shore finishes its greatest season in school history with an overall record of 11-4.

    In the game, Tanner Lorson tossed his 33rd touchdown pass of the season, which tied a school record. Lorson broke 10 school passing records this season for the Bulldogs.

    Dallas takes its undefeated record into the state finals against Thomas Jefferson, 44-2 winners over Lampeter-Strasburg.

    “We’ve got the best school in the state and these kids deserve every bit of this,” said Mannello. “What you don’t see is what these kids put in for four years when nobody is watching to get to this point.”

  • Southern Columbia scores 42 by halftime in win over Upper Dauphin

    Southern Columbia scores 42 by halftime in win over Upper Dauphin

    SELINSGROVE – Most football coaches and teams aren’t interested in moral victories, especially at this time of the year.

    But those may be the only type of victories any team is able to come up with against Southern Columbia this season. Upper Dauphin, which entered Friday night’s PIAA Class 2A quarterfinal matchup with Southern Columbia having scored the third-most points in the state, managed to put the ball in the end zone in the first half against Southern’s first team defense for only the third time this season.

    The problem was, that came after the Tigers had already taken a 42-0 lead. Although the Trojans scored twice more in the second half against Southern’s second team defense and nearly doubled the number of points that the Tigers have allowed this season, it wasn’t nearly enough as Southern Columbia advanced to the semifinals and ended the most successful season in Upper Dauphin history with a 63-22 win over the Trojans.

    “We were just outmatched and we knew it coming in,” said Upper Dauphin coach Kent Smeltz. “Honestly, they’re the best team in the state in any classification. They’re just so talented and they’re well-coached. We knew what we were up against, but it still hurts.”

    Upper Dauphin finishes its standout season with a 12-1 record, the program’s first District 3 championship, and a Tri-Valley League title in the final year of the league as the Trojans will move into the Mid-Penn next year.

    “We got a great group of seniors and they’ve done so much for this program,” said Smeltz. “Everything comes to an end but it’s hard when it does.”

    What the Trojans were up against is simply one of the most talented teams in Pennsylvania high school football history, and the Tigers showed it once again as they scored on their first seven and eight of 10 possessions in the game. Southern, which entered the game with the second-most points scored in the state, featured a balanced offensive attack as quarterback Preston Zachman, the Wisconsin commit, threw for 112 yards on just 4-of-6 passing with a touchdown and also ran for 110 yards on just three carries for two touchdowns. Julian Fleming, the Ohio State commit, hauled in three catches for 80 yards and a touchdown, while Gaige Garcia, the Michigan commit, accumulated 80 rushing yards on only three carries with a touchdown, and younger brother Gavin Garcia had 91 yards on eight carries with a pair of scores.

    Meanwhile, the Southern defense, which entered the game having given up only 26 points in their first 13 games, yielded 22 to the Trojans as well as 280 yards. However, only 127 of those came in the first half against the first team defense, which still had its work cut out for it at times with Upper Dauphin’s misdirection plays.

    “They’re a good offensive team with a good scheme and if we take something away from this game defensively, it’s that when you play a team like this, you have to be disciplined, have gap control up front, and if you’re an outside guy, you can’t be peeking inside and everybody just has to play their position,” said Southern coach Jim Roth. “A few times we didn’t have a good angle on their quarterback on pass rushes and he was able to get outside, and he’s a good athlete. But, overall, our defense still played real well and offensively, we executed and everyone contributed.”

    For the second straight week, Southern Columbia’s defense forced a three-and-out on its opponents’ first possession after giving up a big play. Last week, Mount Carmel recovered an onside kick on the opening kickoff but Southern recorded a pair of sacks to force the Red Tornadoes to punt. This time, the Trojans got a 45-yard kickoff return by Macklin Ayers to set them up on the Southern 46. But Upper Dauphin gained a total of just three yards and punted, pinning Southern inside its own 20 at their own 19.

    But the Tigers would need just five plays to go the 81 yards and take the lead. Despite barely overthrowing a wide open Fleming for what would have likely been a touchdown on the first play of the drive, Zachman capped the drive with a 22-yard touchdown run in which he eluded a pair of blitzing defenders.

    Upper Dauphin then put together a sustained drive on its next possession, as it started at its own 30 and got four first downs to get down to the Southern 15, which included three third down conversions. But Jake Ramberger had the ball punched out on the 12th play of the drive and Jake Davis covered for the Tigers.

    “It would have been nice to have put one in there on our second drive but it wouldn’t have changed the outcome,” said Smeltz. “They’re just really, really good. Their speed – my goodness – their speed is unbelievable. There’s just not much you can say.”

    “That was a momentum swing without question,” said Roth. “Our defense has played well all year and whether it’s a stop or a turnover, it seems like if there’s even the slightest bit of adversity, somebody steps up and makes a play and that was another example there.”

    From there, Zachman hit Fleming for a 25-yard reception, and then three plays later, Zachman called his own number with a 54-yard run down the left sideline to make it 14-0.

    The Trojans went three-and-out on their ensuing drive, and Southern took over near midfield, where Gaige Garcia went for a 48-yard touchdown run on the first play of the Tigers’ next drive to make it 21-0.

    Following another Upper Dauphin punt, Zachman hit Fleming for a 39-yard reception, and then Gavin Garcia finished the two-play drive with a six-yard touchdown run to make it 28-0.

    After another Upper Dauphin three-and-out, Southern put together another quick drive that went 63 yards in just four plays capped by Fleming’s 16-yard touchdown catch in which he hauled in Zachman’s pass in double coverage while being held. The Tigers then made it 42-0 on Ty Roadarmel’s two-yard run after another Upper Dauphin three-and-out.

    Upper Dauphin was finally able to break through on the final play of the first half. After another great kickoff return by Ayers, this one for 37 yards, the Trojans took possession at their own 45 with 1:41 left in the half. Ayers hit Sam Kerwin for a 21-yard reception and Kade Matter for a 35-yard hookup to give the Trojans a first-and-goal at the Southern 2. Upper Dauphin took its final timeout of the half with :20 left and Ayers was stopped on first down at the Southern 1. With the clock running, Upper Dauphin displayed some outstanding discipline to get the entire offense set and run one more play, getting the snap off with about two second left, and Ayers ran it in to get the Trojans on the board. While a successful two-point conversion would have stopped the mercy rule from going into effect at the beginning of the second half, at least temporarily, the try was unsuccessful.

    That score marked only the third first half touchdown scored against Southern this year. Jersey Shore, which advanced to the Class 4A semifinals with a win over Pottsville on Friday, scored in the first half against the Tigers back in Week 7, as did Danville in Week 10. Aside from those two touchdowns, the remainder of the points scored against Southern this year have come in the second half against its second team.

    Two failed two-point conversion wouldn’t have mattered anyway, because Gavin Garcia found the end zone on a 20-yard run on Southern’s first second half possession to make it 49-6. The Tigers would add two more second half touchdowns, including a 91-yard kickoff return by Wes Barnes.

    Ayres added two more short touchdown runs for Upper Dauphin against Southern’s second team defense and the Trojans converted on both two-point conversions.

  • St. Joe’s Prep puts it on the line to win the District 12 6A championship By Joseph Santoliquito

    St. Joe’s Prep puts it on the line to win the District 12 6A championship By Joseph Santoliquito

    PHILADELPHIA, PA – No one said anything in the huddle. No one had to. All anyone wearing maroon had to do was look up at the 14-0 on the scoreboard to know the situation Saturday night against surging Northeast in the PIAA District 12 6A championship.

    So, they kept their mouths shut—and plowed ahead, like they usually do.

    In fact, they prefer to keep their heads down and move forward. It has a calming way of shutting off the noise. 

    Besides, St. Joe Prep’s offensive line would rather let their actions—and the outcome—do their talking. 

    In the end, the chilly temps were still invading everyone’s layer of clothing, but Hawks’ senior left tackle Matt Lombardi, who’s headed to Tulane, senior left guard Matt McGeary, junior center Maximus Fisher (one of the best names in high school football), right guard Casey Stephenson and right tackle sophomore Brad Harris were not saying much of anything.

    They didn’t have to.

    They were well fed and content—after the Hawks’ 43-26 victory over a very dangerous, and very fast Northeast team to win St. Joe Prep’s fourth-straight District 12 6A championship, 43-26, at Northeast.

    Prep (8-2) will now advance to the PIAA 6A quarterfinals against Nazareth next Friday at 7 p.m. at Bethlehem Area School District Stadium. The winner would then host the winner of State College (6-1) vs Pittsburgh Central Catholic (7-1) in the state semifinals.

    But none of this would not have been possible without “The Hog” up front. Playing without starting quarterback and Ohio State-bound junior Kyle McCord, who was resting an injured knee suffered the previous week against La Salle and listed as day-to-day, the Hawks, the defending PIAA 6A state champs, were a one-dimensional offense behind substitute quarterback Malik Cooper that pounded Northeast for 280 yards rushing.

    Still, it didn’t matter. 

    Prep senior tailback Kolbe Burrell did most of the work, rushing for a career-best 217 yards on 28 carries, averaging 7.75 yards a carry, and three touchdowns. 

    Burrell knew immediately who to thank afterwards.

    “I’ve been with all of those guys (on the offensive line) since I’ve been at Prep, so I could tell what their tendencies are,” Burrell said. “I know them well and you can tell what will open. And they won’t do a lot of talking. I would say they go out and get it. We’re all confident as a group, and they’re more the humble type. 

    “I do the talking. They impose their will.”

    They did. 

    After Northeast (11-2) bolted out to a 14-0 lead on Jon-Luke Peaker’s 85-yard run and Charles Britt’s 35-yard TD pass to Timir Jones with 2:24 left in the first quarter, Prep responded with 29 unanswered points to take control of the game.

    Northeast, despite strong games from Britt, who was 11-for-22 passing for 287 yards and two touchdowns, and Peaker’s 15 carries for 131 yards, were shutout in the second and third quarters, wilting in the cold under the Prep offensive front.

    “We really didn’t care what was going on, we knew we had to do our jobs,” said Stephenson, a former Howard commit who’s now opened up the recruiting process again. “A lot of it is assignments, execution and putting our heads down every single play.

    “The last drive we knew exactly what to do, to be patient and be calm. Northeast was very athletic, very fast, I’ll give them credit for that. But we didn’t panic.”

    Stephenson, Lombardi and McGeary wouldn’t let them.

    “We call ourselves ‘The Hogs,’ and we come knowing what we have to do,” Lombardi said. “We have faith in Coop all of the way. You have a guy like Coop who can run a 4.3, we’ll be fine with that any day.

    “Going forward, it’s the same mindset. We want to go 1-0 every week. We want to send off the seniors in the right way.”

  • Chris Matejcek Field Goal Lifts Allentown Central Catholic over Northwestern Lehigh

    Chris Matejcek Field Goal Lifts Allentown Central Catholic over Northwestern Lehigh

    The Tigers led 22-20 in the closing minute of the game. With 21 seconds remaining in the game, the Vikings lined up for the game winning field goal. Viking’s kicker Chris Matejcek has been in this position before. In October, against Freedom, the junior kicker hit the upright in a loss to the Patriots. But on this night, Matejcek nailed the 30-yard field goal stunning the top-seed in the District 11 Class 4A semifinals at Tiger Stadium Saturday night. The Vikings won 23-22 and move on to the District finals. 

    “Chris missed one a couple weeks ago against Freedom,” said Head Football Coach Tim McGorry. “We trust him and to see him get that kick is redemption. He’s a great kid and works really hard. He deserved it.”

    The Vikings next opponent will be Pottsville who defeated Bethlehem Catholic Saturday afternoon 18-13 in the other District 11 Class 4A semifinal game. 

    The Tigers started the game forcing a three-and-out and went right down the field for the 32-yard touchdown pass from Deven Bollinger to Justin Holmes. 

    Northwestern Lehigh wasn’t done in the first quarter. After Bollinger intercepted the ball on defense, he hit Jayden Allen for a 40-yard touchdown pass. The two-point conversion was good and the Tigers led 15-0 with 8:14 left in the first quarter. 

    Finally, Matt Rauscher got the Vikings on the scoreboard. The Vikings got a huge fourth down conversion that setup the score. His one-yard quarterback sneak cut the Tigers lead to 15-6 with 5:26 left in the first half. 

    The Tigers answered right back. Bollinger threw his third touchdown pass of the half. His 11-yard pass to Dom Harding gave Northwestern Lehigh a 22-6 lead with 1:13 left in the first half. 

    The Tigers, Reed Conrey picked off a pass ending Central Catholic’s drive, and they went into halftime leading 22-6.

    Rauscher got his second rushing touchdown of the night late in the third quarter. The two-point conversion failed and the Tigers led 22-12 with 2:37 left in the quarter. 

    Heading into the fourth quarter, the Vikings defense forced two three-and-outs and headed into the fourth quarter with a lot of momentum. 

    “We moved some kids around on defense in the second half and the kids stepped up,” said McGorry. “They did a good job shutting them down in the second half.”

    Tristan Francis scored from 12 yards out. The two-point conversion was good and the lead was cut to two with 9:31 to go in the game. 

    The Vikings defense stepped up in the second half. Both teams turned the ball over on downs. The Vikings got the ball back trailing by two points with 3:18 to go in the game.

    The Vikings got to Northwestern Lehigh’s 12 yard line. They called their final timeout with 31 seconds remaining in the game. With 21 seconds left in the game, they lined up for the 30-yard field goal attempt. This time, Matejcek’s kick was good. The Vikings led for the first time of the night, 23-22. 

    The Tigers had one more chance. Bollinger hit his wide receiver for a 57-yard pass completion down to the Vikings 19. But time ran out on Northwestern Lehigh’s season. 

  • Fords put brakes on Cougars in upset

    Fords put brakes on Cougars in upset

    Tonight at Kottmeyer Stadium, a bunch of supporters from Downingtown East were expecting a win over a double-digit seed. They also expected a rematch with their inter-district rival in the District 1 semifinals.

    To quote Lee Corso, “Not so fast, my friends.”

    The Fords from Haverford High School put the brakes on that rematch, dispatching the home Cougars by a 35-12 score. The win was Haverford’s second win ever in the District playoffs.

    Whatever could go right for Haverford, went right. The Fords’ offense was able to generate explosive plays, their defense suffocated Downingtown East’s run game, and their special teams scored. The Fords’ defense was highly opportunistic, forcing five turnovers.

    As for Buffalo commit Trey Blair, he was as advertised. On Haverford’s opening drive, Blair broke free a 54-yard touchdown run, giving the visitors from Delaware County a 7-0 lead. The advantage was short lived, as the Cougars’ Stanley Bryant broke free for a 64-yard run to cut the lead to 7-6.

    From there, it was all downhill for Downingtown East. Following Bryant’s touchdown run, Trey Blair returned the ensuing kickoff to paydirt to make it 14-6 and hit Sean Reynolds for a 26-yard pass to make it 21-6 after one quarter of play.

    From there, the Trey Blair show continued, a one-yard plunge made it 28-6. Their backup quarterback hit Justin Burgess to make it 35-6 at halftime.

    The only scoring in the second half was on a 64-yard run by Stanley Bryant.

    After the game, longtime Haverford coach Joe Gallagher said their game plan was a “scheme they had not run all year. It was a change of pace. This is one of the most physically and mentally toughest teams I’ve ever coached. They were 85% run all year.”

  • Montoursville football rolls to win over Warrior Run

    Montoursville football rolls to win over Warrior Run

    MONTOURSVILLE – After Montoursville defeated Warrior Run 28-7 back in Week 4 in what was a one possession game in the fourth quarter, Montoursville spent the week of practice after that game treating it like it was a loss.

    “We didn’t play well, didn’t block well, didn’t run or throw well or do that great on special teams,” said Montoursville coach J.C. Keefer. “So, we really went back to the grind after that game and that’s how we treated it this week, like we owe them one.”

    Whatever the case may have been, Montoursville got the result it wanted as the Warriors held Warrior Run to just two first downs in the first half and scored on their first five possessions en route to a 54-12 win over the Defenders in the District 4 Class 3A semifinal. The loss marks the end to the most successful season in Warrior Run’s history as the Defenders finish 7-5 while Montoursville (11-1) advances to play Loyalsock in next week’s district championship game. The Lancers topped Central Columbia 21-13 in the other District 4 Class 3A semifinal.

    “They’re a quality football team. Their (defensive) line definitely played better tonight than the first time we played them and that was part of the difference,” said Warrior Run coach Chris Long. “We got behind and couldn’t get much going in the run game at all.”

    “Our front four have been doing that all year long and that’s been the story of our success,” said Keefer. “They had a little chip on their shoulder because the last time we played these guys, we didn’t execute as well, so they came out with some energy out front and we got after it on both sides of the ball.”

    Warrior Run had just 83 rushing yards for the game, including only 27 in the first half. For the game, Montoursville outgained the Defenders 451-217.

    Warrior Run received the opening kickoff and went three-and-out on its first two drives, while Montoursville answered with a pair of touchdowns, going a combined 101 yards on just eight total plays on its first two drives to take a 14-0 lead. The drives were capped by a 7-yard touchdown pass from Hunter Shearer to Jaxon Dalena and a 29-yard touchdown run by Logan Ott.

    The Defenders were able to get a pair of first downs on their next drive when Remington Corderman hit Riley Daubert for a pair of long receptions of 28 and 35 yards, respectively, which brought the Defenders inside the 10 as the first quarter expired. But an incomplete pass on fourth-and-goal stalled the drive, and Montoursville answered with a 98-yard drive capped by Ott’s second touchdown run to take a 20-0 lead.

    Warrior Run went three-and-out again on its next drive and the Warriors scored on their ensuing possession again on Dalena’s 31-yard run to go up 27-0. The Defenders then fumbled on the ensuing kickoff return, setting up Montoursville on the Warrior Run 17. Three plays later, Shearer hit Ott in the end zone from 13 yards out for Ott’s third touchdown of the game and a 34-0 Montoursville lead heading into halftime.

    “They had a lot more playmakers that made big plays tonight,” said Long. “We had some stuff that we thought might work in the run game that just didn’t. We did some stuff to try to shift and we thought we’d gain an advantage trying to run away from (Cameron) Wood but they ended up moving him to tackle, which is more disruptive so we couldn’t get some of our gap schemes with the guards pulling going because he was blowing things up in the backfield. There was also no time for Remington to pass early on and that was big. They played it well up front, so hats off to them.”

    The Defenders got on the scoreboard on their first possession of the second half. They took over at their own 20 after the second of only two punts on the night for Montoursville and went 80 yards in seven plays, capped by a Corderman 20-yard touchdown run when he scrambled out of the pocket on a fourth-and-seven play. David Gearhart also had a 42-yard run for the big gainer on that drive.

    With second-string quarterback Maddix Dalena in, having replaced Shearer late in the first half after the Warriors had taken the 34-0 lead, Montoursville scored on its next two drives. Ian Plankenhorn kicked a 28-yard field goal late in the third quarter and then the Warriors finally put the game into the mercy rule when Rocco Pulizzi found the end zone from eight yards out early in the fourth quarter. Pulizzi led Montoursville with 148 rushing yards on the night.

    “I wanted to get Maddix and Jaxon a connection because he’s never thrown a touchdown pass to Jaxon and Jaxon is a senior so they probably won’t have another opportunity to do that,” said Keefer. “But I’ve been putting Maddix in all year in the first half. He’s a talented kid, just a sophomore so he doesn’t have the whole offense grasped yet but he’s going to be a super stud at the quarterback position so we’ve been getting him some experience in a lot of games because we really think he can be something special for us down the road.”

    Warrior Run got one more score when Corderman found Ahmahd Keyes on its next possession with a nice throw and an even nicer catch by Keyes for a 27-yard touchdown reception.

    From there, Plankenhorn kicked another field goal, this one from 26 yards, with under a minute to play and then Dylan Moll returned an interception 36 yards to cap the scoring.

    Following the interception, on the game’s final play, Daubert hauled in another pass, his fifth of the night, to go over 1,000 receiving yards on the season and 101 on the night on the final play of his high school career.

    The loss caps a breakthrough season for the Defenders, who won their first district playoff game in school history last week, which was also their first ever home playoff game.

    “I told the team there’s nothing to be ashamed of, don’t hang their heads and they should be proud of the season they had,” said Long. “We did things that no other team at this school has and the seniors have left a legacy and we’ve got things to build off in the future.”

    For Montoursville, they get to meet their next door neighbor in Loyalsock for the district title next week. The Warriors throttled the Lacers 41-6 back in Week 5. This rivalry game was previously played in Week 10 for several years before being moved to Week 5 recently for the very reason that these teams could meet in the postseason and have done so in the past. The teams most recently met in the 2014 District 4 Class 2A championship game, a two-point win for Montoursville, which came just three weeks after the Warriors defeated the Lancers in the final game of the regular season.

    “It would be difficult for both sides if we played Week 10 and then played again in Week 13 so that’s why we moved the game and now it’s playing out that way,” said Keefer. “It’s going to be a grind but lots of fun. It’s going to be a drag out, tough-up-front type of battles and we’re looking forward to it.”

  • Perkiomen School wins Pennsylvania’s first-ever eight-man football state title

    Perkiomen School wins Pennsylvania’s first-ever eight-man football state title

    The bus rides were often long, and often solemnly quiet. The Perkiomen School went 1-6 during 2018 in its first year of playing eight-man football. The Panthers played against teams from Connecticut, New York and New Hampshire. It meant 12-hour roundtrip bus rides that weren’t exactly boisterous after losing six of seven games.

    It’s why Perkiomen School’s 32-14 victory over Mercersburg Academy on Saturday in the inaugural Keystone State Football League (KSFL) championship had added importance. It meant the Panthers made history in becoming the first Pennsylvania state eight-man football champs—and it made all of the sacrifice and frustration of last season worth it.

    The Panthers finished 6-1 this year with a team that has four players from China and one player from Africa on it. And though they’re an eclectic group, almost every player on the Perkiomen School roster has in common of hardly playing any football prior to joining the Panthers’ eight-player squad.

    “It was quite grueling last year,” Perkiomen School coach Casey Perlstein remembered. “After 2017, we made the switch to eight-player football. I believe they finished 2017 with 18 players. There were 12 seniors on that team, so when they left, there wasn’t enough players to field an 11-player team.

    “The school didn’t want to discontinue football, so they made the move to pioneer eight-player football in Pennsylvania last year. We had 29 players last year and finished this season with 22 players.”

    Eight-man football consists of three down linemen on offense, and the field is 120 yards long, the same as a regulation field, but it’s 40 yards wide, as opposed to the regulation 53 1/3-yards width. On defense, you can rush all eight players, though it’s rare and highly risky.

    The time frame is the same as regulation high school games, with four 12-minute quarters.

    The impetus of the eight-player league came from Perkiomen School headmaster Mark Devey and athletic director Ken Baker. With the crazy travel involved, they started a four-team league this year with Valley Forge Military Academy and Delco Christian, along with Mercersburg and Perkiomen School.

    Both Perkiomen School and Mercersburg Academy had its share of stars. For Perkiomen School, 5-foot-6, 160-pound junior tailback/defensive back Tony Holden scored a pair of touchdowns in the championship, and 5-6, 160-pound junior linebacker Nolan Pedrick and 6-foot, 210-pound senior offensive guard/defensive Patrick Bayiha also starred.

    Campbell Prentiss, a 6-2, 190-pound senior, topped Mercersburg Academy list at quarterback, and tight end Jack Yeager, a towering 6-7 senior whose main sport is basketball, also excelled this season.

    Mercersburg Academy made the switch to eight-man football this season, finishing 5-3.

    “We all really enjoyed it,” Mercersburg coach Andy Brown said. “It was a winning experience and I’m ready to go again next year. Eight-man football really brings out the fundamentals of football. Eight-man football is exactly the same as 11-man football.

    “You’re still blocking, tackling and scoring touchdowns. The intensity is the same. You just have to switch up some things in how we run, blocking schemes and passing. Defensively, it’s a little harder going from an odd number to an even number of defenders, which isolates players. It emphasizes being in the right spot.

    “We dressed 21, 22 kids every game. All positions are earned.”

    Eight-man football is popping up all over the East Coast and there is good possibility it will grow in Pennsylvania.

    “We have guys who play other sports and play football just for fun, and it was great for them to come out on top and for the guys last year, when we were 1-6, it was great for them,” Perlstein said.

    Holden is even thinking about pursuing football in college. He played football for the first time last year.

    “I always wanted to play,” Holden said. “You can say I became an eight-man football fan. The game is the same as 11-man football. Some people don’t think it’s actual football, but it is the same.

    “Eight-man football actually shows what you can do. And I was on the team last year, and what we went through. Because of that, I had a chip on my shoulder. We wanted to come out and win and we didn’t have to take the bus ride this year.”

    There were plenty of smiling faces heading back to the Perkiomen School locker room on Saturday.

  • Knights Bounce Titans in Playoffs

    Knights Bounce Titans in Playoffs

    To run in the November 7th Bucks County Herald.=

    If this is a “down year” for #9 North Penn, what does an “up” year look like?

    In Friday night’s District One Class AAAAAA first round game, the Knights (8-3) ran 71 plays to host #8 CB South’s 38 and gained 25 first downs to the Titans’ four in a 35-7 victory.

    “Tonight was North Penn being North Penn.  They were able to run the ball effectively, load the box up and keep us from running the ball,” assessed South coach Tom Hetrick.  “We took some shots.  We didn’t hit the shots that we took.  It’s a lot of credit to them.

    “They got pressure on our quarterback and they didn’t give us the time to get the plays off that we needed to get off,” Hetrick concluded.  “They’re a good football team.”

    Delaware-commit R.J. MacNamara gave North Penn a 7-0 lead late in the first quarter on a touchdown plunge.  The Titan defense held North Penn scoreless for the rest of the half.  Dylan Cedotal snuffed out a fake punt on North Penn’s next possession.  Sean Smith broke up a fourth down pass to end the next Knight drive.

    North Penn’s final first half offensive stand brought them to the Titan-7 but linebacker Cole Cenci stopped quarterback Kolby Barrow for no gain.  A penalty and fumble forced North Penn to attempt- and miss- a 35-yard field goal.

    Cedotal’s play gave the Titans the ball at the NP-21 early in the second quarter.  The Knights turned away South on fourth down.

    North Penn broke through after halftime, opening the third quarter with touchdown drives of six and eight plays.  Fordham-commit Evan Spann followed his 47-yard run with a two-yard touchdown dash with 6:24 remaining in the game.  The Knights exploited a short field from a South fumble, the game’s only turnover, to add a late score and go up 35-0.

    Smith hauled in a 43-yard bomb from Carter Hallgren, putting South on the board with 44 seconds left.

    “That was probably the saddest moment of my career.  I don’t even know how to explain it,” Smith said.  “I just ran.”

    Hallgren completed nine of his 14 second half attempts for 105 yards.  Smith caught four balls for 78 yards.  Tyler Robinson had three catches for 34 yards.

    Smith racked up nearly 1,200 receiving yards on 62 grabs this Fall.  “We came back with a completely different offense this year so that changed a lot for us,” Smith shared.  “We had confidence in the players on the field on every single play.”

    The Titans (7-4) went 6-1 when they held opponents to 24 or fewer points.   Cenci paced South with a dozen tackles, including three for loss or no gain.

    “It was sticking together as a team, working hard and practicing every day,” said Michael McCuen, who had ten tackles and half a sack.

    Two weeks ago, South rallied from two scores down to beat North Penn 36-35.

    “We liked our game plan.  The kids felt confident.  We just didn’t get it done tonight.  And that’s credit to them,” Hetrick stated.  “We were able to get the run game going a couple of weeks ago and we just weren’t able to get that done tonight.”

    South’s pass defense was effective on Friday; North Penn was sacked twice and gained only 93 yards through the air on 18 pass attempts.

    The Knights’ rushing attack was another story.  Spann and Khalani Eaton combined for 276 yards on 31 carries.  North Penn advances to #1 Downingtown West on Friday

    “I don’t know, at the beginning of the season, if I would have predicted we’d have a home playoff game,” Hetrick admitted.  “We had a lot of inexperienced guys coming back and they continued to surprise us with their ability to re-focus.  We came away with some nice wins against some very good competition.  I’m proud of how they stuck with us.  We finished the regular season strong and I couldn’t be more proud of them for that.”

  • Defenders live up to namesake on historic night

    Defenders live up to namesake on historic night

    TURBOTVILLE – It was a historic night for the Warrior Run football programs on many levels.

    The game marked the first time the Warrior Run football program had hosted a playoff game in the 61 years of the program’s existence.

    By the end of the night, Warrior Run would also win its first ever playoff game in school history when the No.4 seeded Defenders knocked off visiting No.5 Lewisburg by a final score of 28-7 in District 4 Class 3A quarterfinals.

    The win advances the Defenders to the semifinals where the team will travel to No.1 seeded Montoursville, winners over Shamokin by a final score of 42-0 Friday night.

    The playoff home game and playoff victory weren’t the only historic moments of the night, as senior wide receiver Riley Daubert was able to set a pair of school records in the win. Daubert entered the game needing 47 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns to break a school record held by Warrior Run graduate Justin Brouse since he graduated in 2006.

    Daubert ended up catching four passes for 148 yards and a pair of scores in the victory, running his career stats up to 1,868 receiving yards and 19 receiving touchdowns with at least one more game to add on.

    “Ever since my freshman year we’ve had something to prove,” said Daubert. “Everyone and worked hard and has come together and it has helped us execute.

    “He’s bought in, he’s played well and he’s great on both sides of the football,” added Warrior Run coach Chris Long of his record-breaking receiver.

    It feels good to break the record(s), but I don’t care as much about that as getting a playoff win. I think we shocked a lot of people and it feels really good.”

    Warrior Run seemed to control the game from the start. Lewisburg opened up the game with possession of the ball, but quickly lost it eight plays into the drive when Warrior Run was able to force a strip sack on Lewisburg quarterback Nick Shedleski.

    The Defenders put the first points on the scoreboard on their second drive of the game. After a shanked punt by the Green Dragons, Warrior Run took over in plus field position and drove the ball 31 yards on six plays for a touchdown.

    Denver Beachel took a snap from the wildcat formation on a third-and-goal play from five yards out and ran it up the middle for the score.

    On the team’s very next possession, Warrior Run drove the field again and scored on a controversial 31-yard bomb from quarterback Remington Corderman to wideout Tyler Pick.

    Corderman rolled out of the pocket and facing pressure from the Lewisburg defense, lobbed a ball toward the front corner of the endzone to Pick. Both Pick and Lewisburg defender Cam Michaels came down with the ball, and after both wrestled for possession, the ball rolled away, but was called a touchdown on the field.

    A failed 2-point conversion attempt put the Defenders up 13-0 in the second quarter.

    Lewisburg scored its lone touchdown of the night with time running down in the opening half. With Warrior Run driving in Lewisburg territory, a botched handoff resulted in a Warrior Run fumble. The ball was scooped up by Lewisburg linebacker Ethan Spaulding and taken 65-yards for a defensive touchdown to make it a 13-7 game with 2:20 remaining in the half.

    Rather than hang their heads, or simply take care of the ball on one last possession before the half, the Defenders kept their foot on the gas pedal and scored in just over a minute on a 42-yard catch and run by Daubert. This catch broke the school record for receiving yards and tied the school record for touchdown receptions.

    In the opening half, the Warrior Run defense quietly held Lewisburg off the scoreboard, but in the second half, the defense made a statement. With the game on the line, Warrior Run allowed the Lewisburg offense to convert just two first downs in the second half to earn the victory.

    Warrior Run tacked on an insurance score when Daubert scored his record-breaking touchdown on a 65-yard catch and run late in the third quarter.

    “We had the whole community behind us tonight,” said Daubert. “We executed on both sides of the ball. We played lights-out defense and we made big plays all over.”

    The Warrior Run defense had five sacks on the night and forced four Lewisburg turnovers.

    “The defense played huge,” said Long. “It starts up front with Ahmahd (Keyes) and Pete (Reasner) and Kenny Newman. They are just a force. We got numerous sacks on Shedleski with those guys tonight. It was a great effort by them tonight.”

    Warrior Run is now 7-4 in a season where the team completed its first winning season since 2006. The Defenders take on Montoursville next week. Montoursville has lost just one game this season, which was against District 4 powerhouse Southern Columbia.

    “The feeling is unbelievable,” said Long. “This is what our goal was at the start of the season. We’ve accomplished it now. I’m just so glad for these guys, especially the seniors. They’ve accomplished something that no other team has ever accomplished.”

    Lewisburg’s season comes to an end an a four-game losing streak. The team concludes the season with a 5-6 overall record.

  • Thunder, Lightning, Trank, share Wyomissing attack

    Thunder, Lightning, Trank, share Wyomissing attack

    by Jim Burkman

    SPOTLIGHT ON BERKS SPORTS

    Rivalry week in high school football gets no better than the “Backyard Brawl” between Wyomissing and Berks Catholic in Section II of the Berks County Interscholastic Athletic Association. The 2019 version had more pre-game pomp and circumstance than ever before considering both teams entered 4-0, both teams were ranked number one in the district power rankings (Spartans in 3A and Saints in 4A), and they are not scheduled to play again over the next two regular seasons. But when the first whistle sounds, all of that means nothing.

    Wyomissing needed only 41 seconds to put points on the board as Max Hurleman (16 for 145) lightning bolted 60 yards on their second play from scrimmage. Aidan Cirulli’s kick made the score Wyomissing 7-0 less than four minutes into the game.

    The Spartans second possession was almost text book work. They held the ball for nine minutes and two seconds, ran 18 plays, converted two fourth down attempts, and gained 48 yards. Evan Niedrowski (22 for 78) thundered seven carries for seventeen tough yards on the drive. Berks Catholic’s defense finally got the stop they needed, and forced a field goal attempt that sailed wide.

    After forcing a punt that travelled two yards, Wyomissing went back to work offensively. They drove 45 yards in six plays ending with another Hurleman bolt from 23 yards out. A missed PAT made the score 13-0 with 2:56 to play in the half.

    On the ensuing kickoff, the Spartans pooch kicked and came up with the loose ball at Berks Catholic’s 32 yard line. The Saints defense held and forced Wyomissing to attempt a 49-yard field goal. Aidan Cirulli kicked a beauty through the uprights for a 16-0 halftime lead.

    As Berks Catholic was struggling to find a rhythm offensively, their defense settled in and held Wyomissing scoreless in the third quarter. But the Spartans once again forced their will at the start of the fourth quarter. They drove 51 yards in nine plays, and finished it with Hurleman’s third score of the game. This time it was from 22 yards. The kick was good for a 23-0 lead that would hold up until the end.

    The Spartans controlled the clock for more than 29 minutes, ran 58 offensive plays, and gained 304 total yards. On the other side, Berks Catholic had the ball for less than 19 minutes, ran 36 plays, and were held to 111 yards.

    When asked about the “Thunder and Lightning” title, Hurleman said, “No one calls us that, but it makes sense.” He added, “I was a little worried tonight about getting caught from behind if Larkin or MacFoy were on defense, but they weren’t out there so I knew I wasn’t getting caught.” Niedrowski added, “Honestly, I don’t mind going up the middle. I just love the contact. I like being hit more than hitting.”

    The third head of Wyomissing’s offensive monster is Jevin Tranquillo. Quietly he rushed for 41 yards on 10 carries. “I love when they get the ball because that means I get to block for them and they score. I feel just as proud as they do”, he said.

    Wyomissing (10-0) won Berks II for the first time since 2015 and clinched the top seed, and home field advantage throughout the District III 3A playoffs. They get a bye next week and must wait to see who they play.

    Berks Catholic (6-4) will fall from the top seed in 4A, but will likely stay top-4, earn a first round bye, and a home game.

  • Nittany Lions Hold off Michigan

    Nittany Lions Hold off Michigan

    By BILL ALBRIGHT
    EasternPAFootball Senior Writer

    STATE COLLEGE — Although it wasn’t exactly pretty at times, it was a huge win for the Penn State football team.

    Hosting 16th ranked Michigan, the 7th ranked Nittany Lions bolted out of the starting gate before providing the 110,669 fans with a few nerve-racking moments down the stretch. The crowd was the fourth largest in Beaver Stadium history for the 2019 version of the “Whiteout” game.

    The Lions came out of the locker room roaring, scoring three touchdowns in 17 minutes for a 21-0 lead. However, the Wolverines outscored their hosts 21-7 for the remainder of the game, the Lions keeping their Big 10 foe out of the end zone from inside the 5-yard line as time ran out to preserve the 28-21 win to remain perfect at 7-0.

    “First of all, I want to thank all of you guys for coming out and covering Penn State Football; we appreciate it, said PSU head coach James Franklin. “I want to thank the fans. We had 110,000 in the game, fourth-largest crowd in Penn State history. I want to thank the staff, the players, the fans, the lettermen, the alumni, the other 150,000 people out in the parking lot still tailgating and screaming, people sitting in the restaurants and bars screaming and going crazy because we did not do this by ourselves tonight. It was the entire Penn State community. It was a great win.”

    Following the game, Franklin had a lot of good things to say about the Wolverine program.

    “I have so much respect for the University of Michigan, their program, their history, their traditions. Michigan is very well-coached and very talented,” said Franklin. “We didn’t play I would say our best in all three phases tonight, but we played well enough to win the game. We played really good complementary football. We made plays when it was needed. We made big plays on defense when it was needed. We made big plays on offense when it was needed and the same thing on special teams. We will critique the heck out of this, find a way to get better. We will enjoy it the rest of tonight. We are 1-0, that is always the goal. There are a lot of teams around the country that are not 1-0 tonight, so we are going to enjoy it.”

    And there are the individual battles in every game.

    “We were able to win the field position battle, the turnover battle, the penalty battle, and we won the explosive plays battle by a very small margin,” cited Franklin. “It is a bunch of good stuff. No doubt that we have to get better, we all do, but great win and I couldn’t be more proud of our team, I couldn’t be more proud of our program. There’s nothing like being a head coach and walking into that locker room and watching our family celebrate together, that is what it is all about.”

    The Lions had things pretty much their own way while building up the 21-0 lead as they scored with six minutes left in the opening period before putting up two more scores in the first 7-plus minutes of the second quarter.

    Pat Freiermuth did the honors of scoring the first PSU touchdown when he hauled in a 17-yard scoring pass from quarterback Sean Clifford before Clifford got into the scoring act on the first play of the second period with a 2-yard sneak to paydirt.
    On the Lions second possession of the second period, Clifford and K. J. Hamler played their game of pitch-and-catch that resulted in a 25-yard touchdown, Jake Pinegar adding the PAT following all three scores.

    There is the old adage in the game of football that if a team is hanging around and it scores a touchdown in the final minutes of the first half, it many times spells trouble for the opponent. That is pretty much what happened to the Lions as Michigan running back Zach Charbonnet scored his first two touchdowns in the game with 2:55 left before intermission.

    After several changes of possession, it was again Charbonnet doing his thing with his second 12-yard jaunt to the house, and just like that the PSU lead had shrunk to 21-14 with 1:05 remaining before the turn for home.

    Feeling the heat from the Wolverines, the Lions immediately answered the second Charbonnet TD when Hamler sprinted past the entire Michigan secondary and Clifford hit him in stride with a 53-yard catch-and-run for the score. Pinegar made it 28-14 with the 13:14 left in the game., but here is where it appeared that the Lions began playing not to lose instead of keeping the throttle down and play to win.

    After a Penn State three-and-out, the Wolverines dialed up the pressure on both sides of the ball that resulted in a “sitting on the edge of your seat” finish.

    Methodically marching down the field, Michigan cut the PSU lead to seven once again when quarterback Shea Patterson sneaked in from the one with 8:48 left.

    Follow the Patterson score was a three-and-out for the Lions, and the frantic finish was just ahead.

    Taking over on the Nittany Lion 47 following a short Blake Gillikin punt, the Wolverine offense again went to work.
    Following a big third-down and a fourth-down conversion, Michigan had the ball at the Lion 7-yard line with a first-and-goal.

    Following back-to-back 2-yard rushes by Charbonnet and Patterson to the Lion 3-yard line, a Patterson pass was successfully defended by Jaquan Brisker and Jesse Luketa for the final Michigan opportunity to tie or win the game.

    Fourth-and-goal with the ball still at the Nittany Lion 3, Patterson’s pass was dropped by Ronnie Bell, Lion Lamont Wade defending on the play.
    Operating from their own 3, rushes for 5 and 2 yards by Noah Cain caused Michigan to use its second timeout.

    On a third-and-3 from the 10, Hamler did his thing as he rushed for 4 yards to the 14, causing Michigan to burn its final timeout.

    So what led to the choice of giving Hamler the ball to secure the win?

    “We just thought that instead of just handing the ball off with them overloading the box right there, we needed to go to one of our read plays where Sean [Clifford] has the opportunity to keep it or KJ [Hamler] can get it on the perimeter,” explained Franklin. “Although we had some success doing it, we didn’t feel like we were going to just be able to line up with their overloaded box like that and just hand the ball off again. Don Brown has been one of the better defensive coordinators in the country for a long time. He used to drive me fits when he was the defensive coordinator at Maryland and I was the offensive coordinator; we go way back. It really comes down to explosive plays against that defense, you have to hit explosive plays. You just know that he is going to overload you in the box and put his defensive backs on islands and you have to win. We missed some tonight, but we won enough of them and that was really the difference in the game.”

    With only 1:45 left in the game, it was time for three kneel downs by Clifford and the Lions had escaped the challenge of their Big 10 rival for the win.

    With the win, the Lions remain perfect at 7-0, traveling to East Lansing, Michigan, Saturday to face a dangerous Michigan State squad. Kickoff for that game is set for 3:30 p.m.

  • Central Columbia wins 24-21 in overtime thriller

    Central Columbia wins 24-21 in overtime thriller

    LEWISBURG – Whenever a team never trails during regulation of a game but still manages loses the game, that feeling is arguably worse than being blown out in the same contest.

    That is what happened to Lewisburg on Friday against Central Columiba, and judging from the blank looks on the faces of the coaching staff, this one strung a little bit extra, and it left the Green Dragons searching for answers.

    Lewisburg never trailed the Blue Jays during the game until it was over, as Mason Yorty kicked a 24-yard field goal in the first overtime and Central Columbia escaped from Lewisburg with a 24-21 win over the Green Dragons.

    “We made a lot of mistakes tonight but is the first week that we were really challenged to overcome adversity and our kids did it time and time again,” said Central Columbia coach Scott Dennis. “We were making mistakes but we kept pulling it together and we won the game and it’s really important going into the playoffs because now they’re battle-tested. They’ve been challenged and they know what it takes to win.”

    “We beat ourselves, that’s it,” said Lewisburg coach Marc Persing. “We talk to our players about having a high football IQ and running into the punter in the back of the end zone when we would have got the ball inside the 20 is a low football IQ play. When we’re punting and we whip a guy out of bounds when he’s potentially in the white, that’s a low football IQ play.”

    Those two plays, which had they gone differently may have resulted in a different outcome of the game, aided Central in mounting its late comeback to tie the game. Central’s defense also bore down in the second half, holding Lewisburg to only 82 yards in the second half after the Green Dragons had outgained Central in the first half.

    With the game tied 14-14 early in the fourth quarter, Nick Shedleski found an open Jackson Landis in the end zone for a 22-yard touchdown pass after scrambling around the pocket with 9:25 remaining in the fourth quarter to give Lewisburg the lead once again. That play capped an 85-yard drive that featured a pair of third and a fourth-down conversion. Aside from that drive, Lewisburg only had 22 offensive yards in the rest of the second half and overtime.

    Central went three and out and got pinned deep in their own territory after consecutive sacks on its ensuing drive. Punting out of their own end zone, the Blue Jays shanked it, appearing to give Lewisburg the ball at the Central 17-yard line. However, a five-yard running-into-the-kicker penalty gave the Blue Jays another shot to flip the field, and this time they punted to midfield, where on the first play of Lewisburg’s possession, the Green Dragons lost a fumble for their only turnover of the game.

    Central was unable to capitalize, but it flipped field position as the Blue Jays drove into the red zone before turning it over on downs with 2:49 remaining. Lewisburg was unable to do anything on its ensuing drive and was forced to punt with just over a minute left in regulation.

    On the punt return, Lewisburg was hit with a personal foul for a late hit out of bounds on punt returner Jacob Reifer, which gave the Blue Jays the ball at the Lewisburg 34 with 1:02 left.

    Two plays later, Garrett McNelis hit Troy Johnson for a 31-yard touchdown pass on a screen, and the PAT narrowly sailed through to tie the game 21-21. The Green Dragons would get the ball to midfield but a bad snap lost them 15 yards and any chance it may have had at setting up a potential game-winning field goal in regulation.

    The Blue Jays won the coin flip for overtime and Lewisburg took the ball first. On the third down play, Shedleski was sacked for an eight-yard loss, leaving the Green Dragons a 37-yard field goal attempt, which came out flat and was missed by Logan Moore. Central ran three straight running plays and got it to the 7-yard line to set up Yorty for the game-winner, which split the uprights.

    “I don’t think there’s any type of drill or anything that we can do (physically),” said Persing. “We encourage our kids to watch film, we talk about down and distance and situations but we have to do more as coaches because it’s c pearly not getting to them so we’re just going to continue harping on the same message (of football IQ) to the players.”

    The Green Dragons took a 14-0 lead on a pair of first half touchdowns. The first of those was a Shedleski two-yard run on their second possession, which came after Central muffed a punt for its only turnover of the game, giving Lewisburg the ball on the Central 27. The second came when Shedleski found Ethan Spaulding for a 10-yard touchdown pass with 10:40 remaining.

    It looked like they would take that into halftime until a series of plays with under a minute to go in the half resulted in Central cutting the lead in half. On a third-and-8 play from the Lewisburg 35, Shedleski was called for intentional grounding when his pass sailed high and well out of bounds, even though it appeared to go rightover the head of his intended receiver, and that resulted in a loss of 19 yards, setting up a fourth-and-27 from the Green Dragon 16. Central then blocked the punt by Shedleski, and Johnson beat Shedleski to the ball in the end zone and recovered it for the touchdown.

    Central would tie the game on a seven-yard touchdown pass from McNellis to Zander Bradley late in the third quarter before the Green Dragons went back ahead on their next possession, setting up the back-and-forth finish.

  • Episcopal Academy wears down Penn Charter, 21-17, in a classic

    Episcopal Academy wears down Penn Charter, 21-17, in a classic

    PHILADELPHIA, PA — The sense on the far sideline was that it wasn’t over. Even though Episcopal Academy had squandered what seemed like myriad chances to blow up its game against undefeated Penn Charter in the Inter-Academic League opener, the Churchmen still held the belief they would prevail.

    And with :32 left to play in the far corner of the end zone, after Malcolm Folk’s golden cleats touched just inside of the end zone with a 14-yard Maurcus McDaniel completion, Episcopal Academy prevailed, 21-17, in a classic Inter-Ac game under a gray October sky on Saturday afternoon.

    The Churchmen improved to 6-0 with the victory, while Penn Charter lost for the first time this season, dropping to 5-1 overall. 

    The Quakers did not exactly go down easy. 

    In the waning moments of the game, a 51-yard completion from senior quarterback Kyle Jones to freshman receiver Colin Schumm placed the Quakers at the Episcopal Academy 17-yard line with :14 left to play. But three incompletions followed and Episcopal survived.

    Episcopal has much to bottle and preserve from the victory. The Churchmen were trailing, 17-7, with less than six minutes to play. But there was a physical tax to the Quakers’ lead. Penn Charter players were cramping up throughout the entire second half. The Quakers looked as if they were tiring, while the desperate Churchmen were able to grab a touch of poise to score on their last two drives.

    A McDaniel 5-yard TD run put EA within 17-14, with 5:42 to play—and that came after a valiant Penn Charter goal-line stand the previous drive.

    Penn Charter was only able to whittle almost two minutes off the clock when EA got the ball again at its 46. The Churchmen converted three third downs, including the game-winning play on their 11-play, 54-yard drive.

    “We played some pretty good out-of-league opponents where we had to play a full four quarters of football and we were in football shape, and we were comfortable and they weren’t,” Churchmen coach Todd Fairlie said. “It would have been a real spoiled effort if the score didn’t work out the way it was. 

    “I felt like they were bigger in every position up front (and Penn Charter was), we kind of hammered them late. I’m a proud coach, because that’s the style we like to play. We just couldn’t finish. Once we got that (McDaniel TD run), we were going to get the ball back.”

    Fairlie used the game-winning play earlier, and liked it. So, the Churchmen opted to use it again.

    “I knew I was in tight space and I told Maurcus to throw it up there and I would make a play,” Folk said. “I think I had both feet in. we were having out problems. We knew this would be a tight game, and we just kept grinding.”

    And finally, McDaniel proved he can be clutch in adverse situations.

    The senior rushed five times for 30 yards and more importantly completed three passes for 14 yards—and the key was finding Folk in the corner.

    “We were looking for a mismatch on the (game-winning) play and Malcolm told me to have the trust in him,” McDaniel said. “I didn’t know he scored, because I was on my back. I heard the crowd and I saw the ref’s hands go up. 

    “Everyone was confident. We had the momentum all game. We knew we just had to finish. We can’t be satisfied now with what we did. This wasn’t our biggest test so far this season.”

  • Mount Carmel Area runs past South Williamsport 59-0

    Mount Carmel Area runs past South Williamsport 59-0

    MOUNT CARMEL – There’s no such thing as a perfect game in football like there is in baseball. However, if there were, what Mount Carmel did to South Williamsport on Friday would almost certainly qualify.

    Mount Carmel racked up almost 600 yards of total offense and scored touchdowns on all nine of its possessions – and by eight different players – while holding South Williamsport scoreless and barely over 100 yards as the Red Tornadoes dominated South Williamsport in a 59-0 win and looked the best they have all year in winning their third straight game.

    “I was really happy with the way our guys played. I think we put it all together and I was pleased with how physical we were all night,” said Mount Carmel coach John Darrah. “We have some guys developing, some guys getting healthy and more guys providing us depth so I would definitely say we’re starting to hit our stride.”

    Mount Carmel amassed 593 yards compared to just 119 for South as the Mounties only came even remotely close to the end zone on one of their 10 possessions. Mount Carmel averaged more than a first down on every snap, picking up an average of 11.4 yards per play and compiled an eye-popping 31 first downs. By contrast, South averaged only 2.8 yards per play as the Mounties found it tough to move the ball against Mount Carmel, especially on the outside, and had only six first downs, including just one in the second half largely against Red Tornado second-teamers.

    That number for South would have been even less if not for 42-yard run by Lane Lusk midway through the second quarter. Without that play, South only averaged only 1.8 yards a play. That play came with Mount Carmel already up 28-0 and it gave South a first down at the Mount Carmel 22. However, it would stall as a five-yard penalty moved them back and they turned it over on downs at the Red Tornado 18.

    South’s final two plays of that drive, run from the 18, were the only two plays in the red zone all night as the Mounties seldom crossed midfield. Only 11 of South’s 43 plays were run on Mount Carmel’s side of the field, seven of which were on South’s first drive of the night after receiving the opening kickoff. They completed passes on four of their first six plays – a change up from South’s usual strong rushing attack. But that drive would stall at the Mount Carmel 32 and South would only complete two more passes the remainder of the game.

    “They have great size, they’re strong and physical and what they run is very challenging (to defend),” said South Williamsport coach Chris Eiswerth. “Hats off to Mount Carmel. They did a tremendous job and it’s a great venue to play in.”

    The Red Tornadoes, meanwhile, scored a touchdown each time they had the ball. Logan Wills got the scoring started by hauling in a 20-yard pass from Tom Reisinger, on Mount Carmel’s first possession, which followed five straight rushing plays to start the drive. Reisinger threw for 117 yards on just four completions.

    Shane Weidner found the end zone from 16 yards out and then from five yards on the Red Tornadoes’ next two drives as he finished with 76 yards on just seven carries. Damon Dowkus punched it in from three yards out to put Mount Carmel up 28-0 midway through the second. A 51-yard catch-and-run down the left sideline by Jack Chapman highlighted that drive.

    A 34-yard touchdown run by Reisinger just enforce halftime gave the Red Tornadoes a 34-0 lead at the half, and then Mount Carmel’s second team produced four more touchdowns in the second half. An astounding 13 different players recorded a rushing carry for Mount Carmel, yet none had more than seven carries.

    “It’s a credit to our kids. Our line was doing a great job, our backs were running hard and that’s what happens when you execute,” said Darrah. “I thought we played disciplined as well and I was extremely happy with how physical we were on defense and we had a lot of tackles at the line of scrimmage, which is great to see.

    “I also thought our young guys did a great job also scoring some points and stopping their offense when they went in.”

    For South, meanwhile, the Mounties drop to 4-4 with the loss and have now lost four straight after winning their first four games.  The Mounties had to endure, for the second straight year, what could be one of the toughest three-game stretches of any team in the state with Southern Columbia, Central Columbia and Mount Carmel in succession. Now that they are through that gauntlet, they are focused on positioning themselves for the District 4, Class A playoffs, where they have as good a shot as any team, especially with the competition they have gone up against in the second half of the season.

    “We played all our kids, we got through the game, and we’re happy to move on and see what we can do next week,” said Eiswerth. “The whole thing with us is staying healthy and hopefully winning enough games to get to the playoffs and then try to do something there. That’s where we’re at right now.”

  • Lewisburg over Shikellamy 49-30

    Lewisburg over Shikellamy 49-30

    SUNBURY – Usually, when a team scores 49 points, including 42 in the first half, it means they were dialed in and ready to play. But following Lewisburg’s 49-30 win over Shikellamy on Saturday, Green Dragon coach Marc Persing was more concerned with his team’s inability to pull away from the now 1-6 Braves.

    “The whole vibe this week was just off. We didn’t have the best week of practice,” said Persing. “I don’t know if we were going through a little bit of Max withdrawal, but the vibe was off. We got here, it was a weird setting (6 pm start on a Saturday night), the kids were in a weird mood, and I said to a few of the guys on the staff, ‘I think we’re going to be in a ballgame tonight.’

    “They just didn’t seem like they had the mindset to play, but to my surprise, we came out and took care of business when we had to. But this was another week that I was looking to see if they would just step on the gas and give it to them but they took the opposite approach. That’s something that we need to clean up. I’m not sure exactly what it is yet, but the good teams don’t let a Shikellamy back in the game like that.”

    The Green Dragons were without Max Moyers, their playmaking running back who was hurt in last Saturday’s win over Bloomsburg, and although it’s not official yet, is likely lost for the season. Despite the absence of one of their biggest offensive weapons, the Green Dragons showed that they have the personnel to withstand the loss and still run a functioning offense.

    Lewisburg score on five of its six first half drives as Shikellamy was unable to put up much resistance defensively. Its five offensive touchdowns were scored by five different players, while Ethan Spaulding also added an interception return for a touchdown, all of which gave the Green Dragons a 42-14 halftime lead, which came after the game was tied 14-14 early in the second.

    But in the second half, the Green Dragons struggled finishing drives despite still enjoying the same advantage in field position as they did in the first half. Lewisburg’s average starting field position in the first half was its own 46, and in the second was its own 49, yet it only finished one drive with a score in the second half.

    The Braves hung in early and then refused to be put away late, mainly on the strength and toughness of its starting quarterback Drew Balestrini, who was the Braves’ leading rusher with 74 yards on 13 carries as he kept several plays alive with his ability to scramble outside the pocket and keep broken plays alive. Balestrini also threw for 166 yards and a touchdown, including 107 in the second half.

    Although Lewisburg didn’t have the same offensive success later in the contest, it didn’t end up being necessary after the team’s offensive and defensive exploits in the first half. After receiving the opening kickoff, on the Green Dragons’ fifth play from scrimmage, Nick Shedleski found Ethan Dominick down the right sideline for a 49-yard touchdown reception to put Lewisburg up 7-0 less than three minutes into the game.

    Dominick, who has replaced Moyers as the team’s feature back, also scored Lewisburg’s only second half touchdown on a 17-yard run, and finished with 87 rushing yards on 18 carries and also hauled in three passes out of the backfield for 97 yards.

    “I’ve been saying for two years now that this kid is going to be special,” Persing said of his sophomore running back. “You can make a case that he is a feature back on 90 percent of the teams in this conference. We’re lucky to have a kid like him as a second back. Him and Max were complimenting each other so well and we were getting better every week with our personnel packages and what we wanted to do. But our offense hasn’t changed a whole lot (without Moyers) other than we just let Nick be the four-year starter and captain and he did early.”

    Shikellamy put together a 10-play, 62-yard drive later in the first quarter capped by Balestrini’s one-yard run for a touchdown on a fourth-and-goal to pull within 7-6 after Lewisburg blocked the PAT.

    Lewisburg answered on its next possession as a 46-yard reception on an over-the-shoulder catch by Dominick set up the Green Dragons on the Shikellamy 1-yard line, and Shedleski ran it in one play later to put Lewisburg up 14-6. Shedleski had another strong game throwing the ball, as he hit on 8-of-14 passes for 218 yards and a pair of touchdowns, including 176 yards in the first half.

    “It was another fantastic game for Nick We knew how they were lined up that they were going to have a hard time covering backs out of the backfield, so went to that early and burned them on it and we forced them to play zone so we did what we had to do,” said Persing.

    The Braves pulled even at 14-14 early in the second quarter as Zahki Nettles capped an 80-yard drive with a one-yard touchdown, followed by a two-point conversion run by Balestrini. But from that point, Lewisburg ran off four straight scores to permanently shift the momentum of the game. Shedleski found Simeon Beiler for a 16-yard touchdown to cop a four-play drive with 9:37 left in the second.

    On Shikellamy’s next drive, Balestrini appeared to have the wind knocked out of him on a tackle after scrambling out of a collapsing pocket. That forced him to leave the game for a down, and on that play, backup quarterback Mason Brubaker’s pass was picked off by Spaulding, who returned it 34 yards for a touchdown, the first of two interceptions on the evening for Spaulding.

    After Shikellamy went three-and-out on its next drive, Lewisburg took over in Shikellamy territory and put together another short drive of just five plays, capped by a Gavin Sherriff 10-yard touchdown run to go up 35-14. The Braves also punted after a three-and-out on their next drive, and the Green Dragons again took over on Shikellamy’s side of the field, this time putting together a nine-play drive that took up most of the rest of the second quarter and was finished by a four-yard touchdown by Spaulding.

    The Braves made it a 20-point game midway through the third quarter on a 42-yard touchdown run by Coltyn Sempko, which followed a successful fake punt in which punter Jon Gittens found Brayden Long for a 22-yard reception. Shikellamy also tacked on a late touchdown after Dominick had scored his second touchdown of the game as Balestrini hooked up with Long for a 53-yard touchdown reception with 1:08 left in the fourth quarter.

  • Manheim Township Suffocates Warwick, Remains Undefeated As Blue Streaks Prevail In Heavyweight Fight

    Manheim Township Suffocates Warwick, Remains Undefeated As Blue Streaks Prevail In Heavyweight Fight

    The Hatfield family versus the McCoy family. The Montagues versus the Capulets. The Yankees versus the Red Sox. Red versus blue. Good versus evil. Alright, alright. Maybe that last one is a tad bit excessive, but depending on which side of the Lancaster Airport you find yourself living on, you might find it rather hard to refute.

    In terms of Lancaster-Lebanon League rivalries, there may not be one that is more passionate and hotly contested than when Warwick and Manheim Township line up across from one another. Distance-wise, there likely isn’t a battle in the L-L League housed within a shorter distance than the five-mile proximity that separates the Warriors’ and Blue Streaks’ respective homebases. Add that to the fact that some parts of both school districts share a Lititz, Pennsylvania mailing address, and it’s darn near physically impossible for factions of either fanbase to go even a day without somehow running into one other. In fact, the rivalry has become so inherently centralized that the winner’s prize has quickly morphed into to a postgame victory celebration held at the McDonald’s franchise on Route 501 with plenty of McFlurries to go around. That is if the ice cream machine isn’t broken of course.

    Yet even for how familiar Warwick and Manheim Township had viewed one another, no one involved in either side of the rivalry looked at each other quite like they did on Friday night at Grosh Field.

    For Manheim Township, let’s just be perfectly honest here for a moment: They fully expected to be right here in this very position.

    Coming into this weekend with a perfect 6-0 record to their name, the Streaks were fresh off back-to-back thumpings of Cocalico and Wilson—- both on the road no less—–for arguably the most impressive two-week consecutive stretch of play from any scholastic team put together thus far in the entire state. That said, the third, final, and by far juiciest week of their jaw-dropping road triumvirate brought them northward to tangle with Warrior counterparts for a matchup that had Warwick licking their chops for weeks.

    For as much as Manheim Township expected to be jostling for the #1 seed in the upcoming District 3-6A playoffs, so too did Warwick in the 5A field. The funny and somewhat ironic part of it was, that wasn’t always the case.

    You see, when looking at the Warriors’ football program, one needs to look just a handful of years back to find far more lean years that truly served as more the norm around these parts.

    If you’re a recent transplant to this part of the state, you might find it impossible to fathom the fact that Warwick was once a team fighting to find upwards of three wins a year given the video game numbers and blue-chip recruits now seen on the Warriors’ home sidelines, but it’s true. In fact, just four short years ago, when this crop of seniors roamed the halls as eighth graders at nearby Warwick Middle School, the Warwick football program campaign posted a far less excitable 2-8 campaign in 2015. Since then however, it’s been an unprecedented ascension to the ranks of the elite.

    Speaking of that group of seniors, consider this. It could easily be argued that they have had a hand in three of the school’s biggest wins ever given a destruction of powerhouse Wilson last season, claiming the school’s first ever playoff victory last year in a deluge against Palmyra, combined with the Warriors’ first victory over Manheim Central for the first time this century in a game played just three weeks ago. Needless to say, earning a fourth notch in that already bedazzled belt would provide for quite the achievement.

    So, with both teams coming into the evening while hovering well within the Top 5 of the state rankings in both the 6A and 5A respectively as proclaimed by a variety of publications, Warwick was set to host the week’s premiere high school football inside the entire state of Pennsylvania for the first time ever in an evening that was saturated with anticipation. So much so in fact, that Penn State head coach James Franklin decided to show up as well.

    Coming into the contest, Manheim Township likely had a list of goals they had complied in order for the Streaks to ultimately prevail on Friday night. Chief of among them, starting fast. Well, in that case, the message from the coaching staff was bought into hook, line and sinker.

    In terms of an initial series, one could not draw up one much better than Township’s opening march of the ballgame. Aided by their first gut-check of the night in the form of a 3rd & 6 conversion from senior quarterback Harry Kirk to fellow senior wideout Brett Benjamin which moved the Blue Streaks’ charge out to their own 40-yard line after a 20-yard pickup, Township would find difficulty in negotiating against the Warwick defensive unit over the next few plays. Good thing though that the Manheim Township playbook has a few extra pages contained in the back of it.

    Staring at a 4th & 6 just past their own 40-yard line, senior wide receiver turned part-time punter Mickey Stokes lined up in punt formation after the Blue Streaks’ first series had officially hit the skids. Yet even though Stokes routinely wears two hats for the Blue Streaks on Friday night, perhaps it’s time he soon adds a third to his wardrobe: Quarterback.

    On said play, Stokes took the snap and fired a strike over the middle to senior tight end Sam Emge which kept the drive alive as the Streaks advanced across the midfield stripe to the Warriors’ 42-yard line following the first monstrous 14-yard pickup.

    “Something we saw on film,” said Manheim Township head coach Mark Evans. “That was something we worked on all week to take advantage of. (Warwick) did what we thought they were going to and that’s hats off to Mark McCracken our special teams coordinator.”

    “Our special teams play has been a solid phase of the game that you have to win every week,” Evans added. “You have to win special teams every week and we’ve got a lot of guys that are doing a great job on special teams.”

    But they weren’t done there. Shortly thereafter, the Township offensive brain-trust dialed up a magnificent screen play in the face of the oncoming Warwick onslaught as Kirk found Jaden Floyd rolling out of the backfield with the senior duo accounting for the 14-yard gainer which moved the Township attack down to the Warwick 26-yard line. And after another third down conversion — this one to Jaden Floyd yet again protruding out of the backfield —- the Blue Streaks found themselves residing on the Warwick 4-yard line. From there, senior running back Bryce Casey was able to do the honors with the 4-yard touchdown plunge, putting the Streaks up 7-0 with 5:26 left to play in the opening quarter. Yes, that’s correct. Manheim Township had just marched 80 yards behind several key conversions and had gobbled up over half the quarter in doing so. If that’s not picture-perfect, you’d be hard pressed to offer something any better.

    So, with the Blue Streaks clearly feeling especially greedy given the manner in which they had been able to hog the ball on their opening series, it was time for Township’s vaunted defense to finally take the field against perhaps the most explosive offense this side of the Susquehanna. Good news for the folks from down the road in Neffsville, that unit was just fine as well.

    In fact, after holding the Warriors to a three and out on their opening possession of the night, Township then set up shop at their own 30-yard line after the exchange in possession following the successful stand offered from their defensive counterparts.

    Yet again, the Township kept the pedal down.

    Thanks in large part to another defensive conversion, this one in the form of a 3rd & 5 toss thrown from Kirk to Emge once again which picked up 12 yards, the Streaks then handed the keys to arguably the best running back in the entire L-L League, Jaden Floyd. Right on cue, Floyd took the handoff from Kirk and raced around the left side of the dominant Township offensive line and bolted for a 48-yard pickup which put the ball on the Warwick 1-yard line. From there, Kirk was able to call his own number as the 1-yard quarterback sneak gave Township the 14-0 advantage with 1:31 left to play in the first quarter as a silent hush fell over the partisan Warwick crowd.

    With their defense likely starting to suck wind while trying to corral the Manheim Township for nearly the entirety of the first quarter, it became paramount that the Warwick offense quickly bring something to the table in the face of the Blue Streaks’ snowball which was quickly speeding downhill at them. Fortunately for them, they found something.

    In fact, on the first play of the ensuing series, junior quarterback Joey McCracken was able to connect with senior wideout Conor Adams for the 27-yard hitch which ushered the Warriors’ attack down to their own 43-yard line. From there, the McCracken to Adams proved fruitful once more as the 9-yard hookup between the two on 3rd & 7 pushed Warwick past the midfield line for the first time all night with the ball now resting at the Township 47-yard line. Shortly thereafter, another McCracken to Adams toss moved the ball down to the Township 36 as the first quarter clock would eventually expire.

    Once the second quarter got underway however, the Warwick offense found the sledding against the Township D to be far more unforgiving.

    In fact, even despite the fact that the Warriors’ offense was able to sneak inside the redzone and get as far down as the Blue Streaks’ 16-yard line, the Township defense was able to rise up and stuff the Warriors on downs after a fourth down screen pass was stopped short of the line to gain.

    So, with the Township offense having pitched a perfect game thus far, the question begged as to whether or not the Streaks would continue their scintillating play on that side of the ball. Long story short, that would be a resounding, “Yup.”

    After taking over at their own 17-yard line following the turnover on downs, Harry Kirk dashed out to the Warwick 40-yard on the first play of the series on the quarterback keeper for a play that served notice to those in attendance that taking down Township is a task not designed for the faint of heart.

    That being said, the Warwick defense did rise to the occasion on this drive as key five-yard tackle for loss tallied by junior linebacker Caleb Schmitz forced the Streaks into yet another third down scenario. Ironically, while moving the chains on third down had clearly been a strength for Township all night up until that point, the Streaks would fall three yards short of the line to gain which set up a 4th & 3 at the Warwick 33-yard line. Well, at least they had been perfect on fourth down though right?

    Deciding to roll the dice, Township kept the offense out on the field for the biggest play yet in the still relatively young evening. In doing so, the Streaks were rewarded handsomely as Kirk found a wide-open Brett Benjamin underneath, as the 21-yard Kirk to Benjamin hookup moved the ball down to the Warriors’ 12-yard line. And with Kirk and the offense humming like a finely-tuned machine, a 13-yard touchdown dart from Kirk to senior wideout Nate Carpenter quickly put the visitors from Neffsville up by three scores at 21-0 with 6:30 left in the first half.

    Over the course of the next few drives, both sides would take turns falling victim to their defensive opposition —Township for the first time all evening after a sack tallied by Warwick’s Nolan Rucci on 3rd & 9 on the Blue Streaks’ ensuing possession —- before Township would saddle up and mount one last drive before the first half horn. However, the Streaks’ final drive of the first half perhaps provided the Warriors with some momentum heading into the break as the 34-yard Manheim Township field goal would be blocked on the final play of the second quarter, effectively sending both sides into their respective dressing rooms following an emphatic statement authored by the Streaks in the opening 24 minutes given their 21-0 cushion.

    Coming out of the break, it was time for Warwick to offer some sort of a rebuttal.

    After witnessing Manheim Township go into their bag of tricks on the Streaks’ opening series of the night, Warwick decided to do the same coming out of the intermission. Staring at a 4th & 4 at the Township 48-yard line, Warwick punter Conor Adams fired a pass out in the flat to a waiting Preston Johnson, as the fake punt gave Warriors an added boost of momentum with the ball now residing on the Streaks’ 37-yard line. From there, the Warwick attack would move down as far as the Township 4-yard line before the Streaks’ defense would once again rise up and stiffen, ultimately holding the Warriors on downs.

    But the Warriors were soon given a new lease on life.

    Despite their successful defensive stand, the Township offense took over deep within the shadows of their own goalposts. Needless to say, turning the ball over here could prove to be deadly. And almost as if to be right on cue, that is precisely what happened.

    On 3rd & 1 at their own 17-yard line, a Manheim Township fumble was quickly pounced on by Warwick’s Caleb Schmitz, giving the Warriors an extremely short field from which to work with. This time, the Warriors were ultimately able to cash in.

    Aided in the drive by a key 4th & 3 conversion by way of the quarterback scramble from Joey McCracken, the Warriors ultimately found paydirt as a 4-yard touchdown plunge from junior running back Colton Miller got the Warriors on the board at 21-7 with 2:45 left in the third. And after a three and out contributed by their staunch defense, momentum appeared to be switching sidelines and sliding over the Warriors’ bench as the third quarter events wound down.

    But it was not to be.

    Despite taking over at their own 45-yard following the exchange in possession, an equally ill-timed Warwick fumble gave the ball back to Manheim Township at the Warwick 47-yard line as the game then moved into the final quarter. Fortunately for the homestanding Warriors, the ensuing Township drive would not result in any additional Blue Streak damage as the Warwick defense would end up holding on downs, setting up shop now at their own 26-yard line.

    Without the shadow of a doubt, Warwick needed to find the endzone on this drive. Pronto too if they could muster it. So, the Warriors’ offense trotted out onto the Grosh Field turf knowing full-well the task at hand. And while every literal inch was truly earned, Warwick would eventually move out across the midfield line before reaching the Township 45-yard following a gigantic 4th & 8 conversion from the tried and true McCracken-Adams duo with the Warriors’ offense now starting to pick up steam. From there, Joey McCracken called his own number on the very next play from scrimmage and raced down to the Township 25-yard line for 20 more yards of additional real estate. After that though, the Township defense would surrender nary a yard as the Warwick drive was eventually put to a close following a magnificent tipped pass from Manheim Township senior Tyler Kurtz while operating from his linebacker spot on 4th & 10.

    Yet even though Township had just now taken over after successfully halting a possible Warwick scoring punch, the Blue Streaks’ offense would also be stymied as well on their ensuing possession following the turnover on downs as Township ended up punting it away to Warwick with the Warriors clearly needing to punch it in ASAP.

    In short, it would prove to be an assignment won by the Blue Streaks’ defense as a key sack on the Warriors’ ensuing possession by Township senior linebacker Josh Emge helped spell doom for the Warwick offense in a drive that too would also eventually end on downs with Township taking over at the Warriors’ 26-yard line.

    From there, Jaden Floyd ended up capping off the evening with a resounding exclamation mark for Manheim Township on this night as Floyd’s 4-yard touchdown burst and subsequent casual toss of a would-be Warwick defender in the endzone seemed to serve as an iconic microcosmic for Manheim Township’s resounding 28-7 triumph which kept the Blue Streaks perfect on the year while also knocking their archrivals from the ranks of the unbeaten on Friday night as the postgame masses quickly jettisoned off to the nearby McDonald’s to celebrate.

    “I don’t eat McDonald’s,” a happy Mark Evans said with a wide smile after addressing his troops for the final time on Friday night. “When I do though, it tastes like caviar. It’s like that rare moment where McDonald’s tastes really, really good. Maybe I’ll have some McDonald’s, but not right now though.”

    Okay. All jovial matters aside, this was an absolute statement made by Township over their backyard rivals in the Warriors’ house on Friday night. Not that only that, but it capped off maybe the most ridiculous three-week stretch of games that any squad could’ve been asked to play.

    “Operation hat-trick is now successfully completed,” Coach Evans added triumphantly. “We’re road warriors. We went on the road against three #1 seeds in their District 3 classification at the time against three unbeatens. Tomorrow maybe we’ll take a step back and take a little bit of a breather, but we can’t stop.”

    “Again, that goes back to the fact that we got a little complacent in the second half (against Warwick) so now we’ve got to go back to work. It’s good. That keeps us grounded.”

    NEXT UP: While many will likely see Township’s win over Warwick as the Blue Streaks’ final challenge of the regular season before they storm off into the postseason, the true fact of the matter is that the upcoming schedule really does not get any easier whatsoever given the fact that the 6-1 Cedar Crest Falcons come calling to Neffsville next Friday night. And if you’ve spent any sort of time around the L-L League, you know full-well that Cedar Crest is a school that thrives and relishes for situations such as the assignment placed before them up next on the docket where most would be quick to count them out. Not Township however. The Falcons are sure to have their full attention in practice this week. If nothing else though, the opportunity to raise the bar even further in the Blue Streaks’ camp still exists.

    “I still don’t think we’ve played a complete game yet,” said Evans. “The scary part is that’s there’s better in there somewhere. That’s also the good part. We have something to keep working for and keep striving for. I don’t think you’ll ever get the perfect game, but you sure as heck gotta work for it.”

    For Warwick, the schedule maker didn’t exactly do them any favors either considering the Warriors must now right the ship when they pack up the yellow school buses and head northward into Berks County to tangle with the Wilson Bulldogs next Friday night in West Lawn. And aside from the weekend worth of festivities that the Bulldogs will have planned for certain factions of their esteemed alumni, revenge will likely be on everyone’s mind considering the record-setting numbers Warwick was able to put up on the Bulldogs last year en route to their first victory over Wilson in over a decade.

  • Silver Anniversary of an Eagles’ Super Sunday

    Twenty-five seasons ago, a Goliath roamed the NFL, vanquishing the Davids in its path.

    The San Francisco 49ers owned the NFL’s best record, most prolific offense and sixth stingiest defense.  The Niners won Super Bowl XXIX 49-26; only a late San Diego Charger junk touchdown made the score look respectable.  San Francisco sent ten players to the Pro Bowl while producing the NFL’s best player on offense -AP MVP Steve Young- and defense with AP Player of the Year Deion Sanders.

    Across the country, 1994 disappointed Eagles fans.  The team ended the year on a seven-game losing streak, finishing 7-9 and costing head coach Rich Kotite his job.

    San Francisco was a nine point favorite when Philadelphia flew to the Bay Area to play the 49ers on October 2nd.  The 2-1 Eagles had extra rest from an early week four bye.  The 49ers were 3-1, coming off of a 24-13 win against New Orleans.

    If the NFL has Exhibit A for what can happen on “Any Given Sunday”, the Niners-Eagles game that October 2nd would be it.  When the smoke cleared, the Eagles thrashed San Francisco 40-8.

    The game is still historic as it’s Silver anniversary approaches: it is the worst loss ever suffered by an eventual Super Bowl champion.

    “It was a day that offensively, we could almost do no wrong.  From play calling to execution to just everything about it, we had gotten into such a rhythm,” recalls Eagle center David Alexander.  “Charlie Garner had gone off.  You felt like it was easy.  Obviously, they had some Hall of Famers on that defense.  But we were just ‘in the zone.’”

    Candlestick Park weather could be awful.  Early 1980s San Francisco Giants fans actually were awarded a medal for staying through an extra inning game.  Yet Sunday October 2nd was sunny, cool and breezy when the teams took the field.

    Philadelphia got called for holding on the game’s first play.  That hold might have been San Francisco’s highlight.

    The Eagles assembled a 10 play, 85 yard drive which ended on rookie Garner’s one yard touchdown.  Randall Cunningham hit Calvin Williams three times for 56 yards on the march.

    “I don’t think they were doing anything that we didn’t expect.  They ran a little more bump-and-run coverage early on,” Williams recollected.  “Whenever a guy is playing bump and run, the receiver and the quarterback have the advantage because you can throw ahead or you can throw behind.  That’s a hard play for the defender.  After a couple of catches, they went to some off coverages: playing seven or eight yards deep so we were still taking advantage of it.  That’s what I remember.

    “It was just a good day.  The weather was nice.  I always liked playing on grass as opposed to turf and,” Williams concluded, “we were just clicking that day.”

    “The 49ers had their scheme and they were not going to change,” Alexander commented.  “They had a system that they really believed in and they got their players to believe in it.  But when you go into a game, come out of the huddle, line up for the first series and they are exactly where you expect them to be…and they do exactly what you expect them to do.  It was a lot of fun.”

    On San Francisco’s first play, Eric Allen picked off an overthrown Young pass intended for Jerry Rice and returned it 11 yards.

    “When you have a guy like Eric Allen who should arguably be in the Hall of Fame, he is your lockdown corner and he is going to make big plays,” noted Eagle safety Rich Miano.  “With (Eagle defensive coordinator) Bud Carson, you knew every week that he was going to get you prepared for the best matchups.

    “Bud Carson devised a game plan to shut down what they did best, which was obviously Jerry Rice and the West Coast passing game.  But we were never physically or mentally intimidated by any opponent we ever played because we felt physically we were as good as any offense and mentally, we were prepared better.  If there is a Hall of Fame for defensive coordinators,” Miano feels, “Bud Carson and Dick LeBeau should be the first guys who go in.”

    One play later, Garner raced through a hole created by an Antone Davis cross block, shed two tackles and galloped 28 yards for a touchdown.  Eddie Murray’s extra point made it 14-0 with less than eight minutes elapsed.

    “Charlie Garner that afternoon was just in the zone,” Alexander said simply.

    “There is a physical memory of Charlie Garner where you realized how fast this guy was and how he probably never received the accolades of how talented he was as a running back,” Miano added.  “If the running game is on and (Randall) is making plays and those guys are doing their thing offensively, you know we’re going to take the ball away at some point.  You know they’re going to go three-and-out a bunch of times a game and we’re going to give the ball back to our offense.”

    Despite an Eagle neutral zone infraction on San Francisco’s first down, the Philly defense forced a three and out when a reverse to John Taylor on third-and-two was stopped short.

    Just three years prior, the 1991 Philadelphia Eagle defense ranked first in the NFL against both the run and the pass.  In June 2017, Football Outsiders ranked the ’91 D the NFL’s best over the last 30 years.

    The 1994 version still started holdovers Allen, William Thomas and Byron Evans.  The ’94 squad, who finished the year as a top five defense, also featured 1991 alumni Miano, Andy Harmon and Otis Smith.

    “We felt going into any game that we were going to dominate defensively, take the ball away and stop the running game,” Miano said.  “I think the narrative defensively- I know in that huddle and in that locker room was- it didn’t matter if you had Jerry Rice, Steve Young or Brent Jones.  You’re not going to score a lot of points on this defense and it’s going to be a long day.”

    Helped by a Gary Plummer pass interference call, the Eagles marched 51 yards to the SF-40.  Mitch Berger beautifully pooched a punt out of bounds at the PHI-3 to end the first quarter.  On third-and-nine, William Fuller beat Harry Boatswain and sacked Young for a safety.

    In the game’s first 16 minutes, a San Francisco offense featuring future Hall of Famers had one total yard- and was outscored by the Philadelphia defense 2-0.

    The in-rhythm Eagles responded by marching 56 yards on a six-play scoring drive.  Three Garner runs put the Birds in field goal range.  “The Eagles are just beating the 49ers to the punch on offense and on defense,” John Madden commented in-game.

    “Anytime you can run effectively, it’s going to help your pass game.  People start coming up and safeties start trying to creep to help the front seven,” Williams pointed out.  “Anytime you can have success on the ground, you’re going to open up some things.  As I recall, that’s what happened.  We had a good mix.  We had a good team.  Everybody was healthy. With that offense, when things were put together and we were clicking, that we would be hard to beat.”

    On third-and-ten, Randall Cunningham made one of those plays that makes him Randall Cunningham.  Flushed from the pocket, Cunningham raced to his right and launched a perfect 28-yard touchdown bomb over two Niner defenders into the outstretched arms of Victor Bailey.

    “That’s where Cunningham can kill you, when he scrambles,” Madden said.

    “I’ve been around football my whole life.  I’m coaching now.  I played ten years in the NFL and I’ve seen a lot of talented, special people but Randall was probably the most physically talented or gifted player that I’ve ever been around,” Alexander praised.  “I think he could do anything.  He was an All-American punter at UNLV.  He could walk out of the locker room cold and kick a 50-yard field goal. He made really fast guys miss and look slow, and he made guys look stupid when they missed.

    “He could be rolling left, stop and throw it back to the right 60 yards.  He had complete control of every body part, wherever his body was going.  He could throw it on a rope 40 yards deep down to the far hash and he could throw it softly over the middle,” Alexander concluded.

    In October 1994, the 49er franchise was in the middle of an NFL record 456 straight games without being shutout.  The streak didn’t end that afternoon; the 49ers converted two fourth-and-ones on a 7 ½ minute drive that ended with Young’s touchdown plunge.  The two-point conversion made it 23-8 with 4:25 left.

    Where Garner had been a hero on the ground- he had 94 yards on 12 first half carries- his receiving abilities fueled the Eagles’ response.  Cunningham faked a handoff to Herschel Walker, pivoted and hit a wide open Garner in the flat.  Garner raced 28 yards to the SF-12, just before the 2:00 warning.

    “This guy has really put on some show,” Pat Summerall described in his characteristic understated style.

    “Charlie did a couple of things well.  He wasn’t the fastest running back in the League but he had great vision,” Alexander described.  “I remember a couple of great runs up the middle.  One of the plays you remember from that game was him catching a screen pass and setting up blockers.  He understood blocking schemes and he helped set his linemen up for success.”

    Walker thundered into the end zone from the SF-2 on a first-and-goal; Philly took a 30-8 lead into halftime.  Philly gained nearly three times the total first half yardage of their hosts.

    The Eagle defense came out just as strong in the second half, forcing two three-and-outs in San Francisco’s first two possessions.

    “There were a lot of special, special football players on that side of the ball.  Incredible football players.  I had to go against those guys a bunch. I was glad I only had to go against them on Wednesdays and Thursdays in practice, and not on Sunday when I was trying to earn my living,” Alexander chuckled.  “When the offense is on the football field controlling the clock and scoring points, while the defense is on the sideline drinking Gatorade and getting their legs back under them, it’s momentum.  It’s a 12th man on the football field.

    “The offense was rolling with six or eight yard plays, driving and getting points while the defense was fresh and getting three-and-outs.  Then we’d score again.  It just completely snowballed on the 49ers that day,” Alexander said.

    Cunningham hit a diving Calvin Williams at midfield for a 15-yard completion on third-and-11 to keep Philly’s second drive of the half alive.  “I think, for us, it was proving that we can play with anybody at any time,” Williams reflected.  “I don’t know what the mindset of the San Francisco 49ers was.  But whether they were taking us lightly or not, my mantra was ‘I’m going to go out there and play the best I can.  I’m going to take care of my job.  Hopefully everybody else will do what they’re supposed to do.’”

    Garner picked up 16 yards on Philly’s next two plays.  When intended target Mark Bavaro was covered, Cunningham raced 11 yards on a bootleg to the SF-18.  Eddie Murray ended the drive with a 36-yard field goal; the 33-8 score made it a four-possession lead.

    Bavaro was open on a post pattern when Cunningham connected with him for an 18-yard touchdown.  The score, which capped a 57-yard drive, put Philly up 40-8 with 12:04 remaining.

    “Everything the Eagles have tried has worked.  They’ve run.  They’ve passed.  They’ve run options,” Madden said after Bavaro’s score.

    “We were kind of an older team,” Miano noted.  “Mark Bavaro was at the end of his career.  We had Refrigerator Perry.  People don’t recall that Herschel Walker was part of that team.  We had these veterans who may have been a little long in the tooth but were still very valuable.”

    San Francisco was held to eight points and just 189 total yards.  The Eagles ran for 191 yards and passed for 246, producing a balance that is the nirvana state for offensive coordinators.  Philadelphia gave up no sacks and committed no turnovers.

    Individually, Williams caught nine balls, a career high, for 122 yards.  Cunningham completed 20 of 29 pass attempts for 246 yards, two touchdowns and a 117.9 quarterback rating.  He only had eight more career games with a higher QB rating and as many passing attempts.

    “Randall was a human highlight film.  When you look at all of these athletic quarterbacks that are in the League and in college football, Randall is one of the pioneers,” Miano said.  “Randall was as good, or better, of an athlete as anyone playing the game today.  Randall could do things that nobody else could do and as a defensive back, I faced that guy in practice every day.  There was nobody else who could lock their hips out, have a front side read and throw the ball across his body with his wrist.”

    Garner’s NFL debut would be one of his finest games.  The Eagles’ second round draft pick that April, Garner rushed for 111 yards and two touchdowns on 16 carries.  Although he was just beginning a solid 11-year career, Garner would only have one more game- a 1995 win over a mediocre Redskins’ squad- where he would have more yards, more touchdowns and a better yards per carry than he did against San Francisco.

    If you told viewers that day that the eventual Super Bowl champ was playing in that game, everyone would have agreed.  They just would have picked the wrong team.

    Postscript: October 2nd was the day where the 1994 Eagles soared the highest.  A week 10 win over Arizona put the Eagles’ record at 7-2, but they closed the year with seven straight defeats.  There were injuries.  There were inconsistencies.  1994 was the first year of Jeffrey Lurie’s ownership, and rumors around the job security of both Kotite and GM Harry Gamble were constant, even during the wins.

    “Of course it is (difficult to avoid a hangover).  It’s not supposed to be.  You’re supposed to be a professional,” Alexander admitted.  “On the flight back from the West Coast to the East Coast, everybody is patting you on the back telling you how good you are and maybe you drink a little bit of the Kool-Aid.  You knew, going into that game, what kind of a special group the 49ers had.  They proved that obviously later in the year and that’s why we’re talking right now.

    “You need your head coach to do the Bill Belichick on you: to slam the playbook down on the desk and say ‘Last Sunday, you guys were awesome but today it’s Tuesday and you guys suck again.  And if you don’t want to suck on Sunday, you’ve got to work again.’”

    “You have to put it together and play it out all of the time,” Williams added.  “That was a good game for us but that was a year where we didn’t make the playoffs.  It’s a combination of things.  It’s the players on both sides.  It’s the coaching.  The players can’t feed into ‘we just beat a perennial team.  One of the teams of the 90s.’  And the coaches have to be able to manage that: to not let people think that just because you had one good game, that you have reached the pinnacle.”

    “The line between winning and losing is just so narrow in the NFL,” Alexander reminded.  “It can be just as simple as a mindset on two or three plays.”

    San Francisco clearly did not let the one-sided defeat get to them.  Head coach George Seifert rallied his troops the next week for a 27-21 win over Detroit and Barry Sanders.  That “W” started a run where the 49ers rattled off victories in 13 of their next 14 games.  Nine of the wins were by 15+ points, the most noteworthy being the 49-26 pasting of San Diego to earn the Super Bowl XXIX crown.

    Yet on Any Given Sunday, Philadelphia not just went toe-to-toe with the World Champs but annihilated them on the road.

    “Being part of, analytically or what historians would consider one of the best defenses in the history of the League, is something I’m most proud of,” Miano mused.  The apple of 1994 didn’t fall far from the 1991 defensive tree.  That defensive dominance, mixed with an in-sync offense, produced a record setting Sunday 25 years ago.

  • Green Dragons topped Bloomsburg 31-10

    Green Dragons topped Bloomsburg 31-10

    SELINSGROVE – It was one of the oddest, most unusual games that either team or coaching staff has ever been a part of.

    Bloomsburg and Lewisburg battled through two weather delays – one before kickoff and one near the end of the first quarter – totaling over two hours, but managed to get the game played. In the end, which didn’t come until 11:30 p.m., some big plays on offense, defense and special teams by Lewisburg ended up being the difference as the Green Dragons topped Bloomsburg 31-10.

    “I don’t have any words for it other than weird, odd, and crazy that I’ve ever been a part of in all my years around football” said Lewisburg coach Marc Persing.

    “It was crazy with all the lightning and everything but the game had to be played and we unfortunately weren’t able to play like I know we know how to play,” said Bloomsburg coach Kevin Seabrook.

    Although the Green Dragons made some impressive plays throughout, they all did so without perhaps their biggest playmaker, running back Max Moyers, who was injured on Lewisburg’s first possession after catching a screen pass and being tackled. He did not return.

    “We don’t have anything official yet, but it’s not looking good,” said Persing. “Our kids could have tucked their tails between their legs and packed it in for the night, but it’s the culture and it’s the buying in of these kids that literally has the next man up coming through. We’re blessed to have another running back of that ability in Ethan Dominick. We’re going to rely on our quarterback more and he played another phenomenal game tonight.”

    Nick Shedleski completed 14-of-19 passes for 181 yards and two touchdowns and also ran for a score for the Green Dragons as he stepped up with Lewisburg down its top back. Dominick ran for 51 yards and a touchdown as he became the feature back in Moyers’ absence. He also had a long kickoff return to start the second half that set up Lewisburg in the red zone and helped them extend their halftime lead.

    “There were a lot of players tonight who got a lot of reps who haven’t in the past so we just have to keep grinding,” said Shedleski. “A lot of kids stepped up and that’s a credit to them watching film and studying the playbook even when they’re not in every Friday night. They are preparing well and they did a lot of work tonight.”

    After a 95-minute lightning delay and an 8:35 pm kickoff, the teams battled to a 0-0 tie in the first quarter, which included a second delay – this one for about 30 minutes – which came with just :19 left in the quarter. After play resumed, Lewisburg ran out the clock in the quarter before running their play, which ended up being an incomplete pass.

    Bloomsburg took over at its own 30 and put together an eight-play, 51-yard drive that ended with a 36-yard field goal by Torsten Hartmann. A 26-yard reception by Brody Hock from Jack Howell was the big gainer on that drive. That combination was a key in Bloomsburg remaining in the game until Lewisburg pulled away late, as Howell finished with 191 passing yards on 15-of-34 passing, while Hock caught eight of those passes for 113 yards.

    Later in the quarter, Lewisburg took possession at the Bloomsburg 40 following a Panther punt and took four plays to find the end zone on a four-yard run by Dominick, who had 27 yards on three touches on the drive.

    That set up a furious finish to the half. With about :30 left, Lewisburg had a 4th-and-2 from their own 38 and appeared to be trying to draw Bloomsburg offside. But the ball was snapped instead, and Shedleski was dropped for an 11-yard loss. He was hit out of bounds, which drew a 15-yard dead ball penalty, and Bloomsburg took over at the Lewisburg 42.

    On the second play for Bloomsburg, Howell’s pass was picked off by Gavin Sheriff, who returned to 41 yards to the Bloomsburg 35. From that point, Shedleski completed two straight short passes to Ethan Spaulding, who got out of bounds both times and left a second to spare for a field goal attempt, which was nailed from 27 yards by Ben Liscum to give the Green Dragons a 10-3 halftime lead.

    Lewisburg kept that momentum and extended it as it received the opening kickoff of the second half and got a big 49-yard return by Dominick, plus a 15-yard facemask penalty to take possession at the Bloomsburg 17. The Green Dragons then went four plays to find the end zone on Shedleski’s five-yard run.

    On the ensuing Bloomsburg possession, the Panthers elected to go for it on fourth-and-1 from their own 39, and Howell found Daniel Guzevich for a 45-yard reception on a post route to set up the Panthers at the Lewisburg 16. Howell would later sneak it in from one yard out to make it a one score game again, 17-10, with 6:02 left in the quarter.

    But the Green Dragons answered back almost immediately. On the second play of their next drive, Shedleski found Spaulding, who eluded a few Bloomsburg defenders and ran a tight rope down the left sideline for a 78-yard touchdown reception to make it 24-10.

    “We had some missed assignments and we didn’t execute the way we know how to execute,” said Seabrook. “There were a lot of mistakes on our end but give credit to Lewisburg as well, but I know we can play better than we played tonight.”

    Bloomsburg turned it over on downs on its next drive and then Howell was picked off by Evan Gemberling on the drive after that. Gemberlings pick set up Lewisburg on the Bloomsburg 28, and the Green Dragons would take advantage as Shedleski found Jack Landis in the end zone on a fourth-and-5 play for a 23-yard touchdown to push the score to 31-10.

    “The kids here are great,” said Persing. “We could have started this game at midnight and they would have wanted to stay here and finish this game. This is a great group of kids and they want to win.”

  • Long Drives key in Vikings win

    Long Drives key in Vikings win

    MANDATA – Williams Valley was able to play the spoiler Friday night as the team took its undefeated record into Line Mountain’s homecoming.

    The Eagles paid homage to teams from the past with special throwback uniforms, sporting yellow tops and blue bottoms for the occasion, but the new threads alone were not enough to tame the undefeated Vikings.

    The Eagles were able to get the crowd excited early as the team struck for the game’s opening score, but there wasn’t much to cheer about after that, as Williams Valley stayed unbeaten to the tune of a 35-7 victory over the Eagles.

    Line Mountain opened strong, forcing a fumble by Williams Valley quarterback Bryce Herb on just the third play of the game. Line Mountain’s Cameron Smeltz fell on the football and gave the Eagles a first down at their own 39-yard line. Two plays later it was the Herb brothers that connected for the game’s opening score.

    Wide receiver Aiden Herb ran a quick slant over the middle as older brother Evan Herb hit his sibling in stride for what would be a 63-yard catch-and-run to put the Eagles up 7-0 just over a minute into the game.

    This would be the last time Line Mountain scored in the game, as Williams Valley took over from there.

    Third down conversions were the story of the game, as the Vikings converted 22 total first downs in the game. Of those 22 conversions, nine of them took place on third or fourth down.

    “That’s literally the story,” said Line Mountain coach Brandon Carson. “We had them in a lot of third-and-long situations and we just could not get off the field. They were able to make plays and we didn’t.”

    With the Vikings down 7-0, the team took the ball down the field in just one minute and 26 seconds to score on a 12-yard reception by Jayden Cruz from quarterback Bryce Herb. The Vikings missed the extra point and trailed 7-6 at the end of the first quarter.

    Line Mountain had a nice chance to extend its lead later in the opening quarter. The Eagles put together a nice 12-play drive but facing a fourth-and nine from the Williams Valley 19-yard line, Herb was chased out of the pocket and forced to throw on the run, which was intercepted in the endzone by Williams Valley’s Bo Raho.

    The Vikings then went on a methodical drive their own to eventually take the lead. Williams Valley went 80 yards on 13 plays in five minutes to take a 14-7 advantage. Cruz capped off the drive with his second score of the game and was also on the receiving end of a two-point conversion to get the Vikings back on track.

    Cruz finished the game with four catches for 68 yards and a pair of scores.

    The Vikings did much of the same on their next drive. After a beautiful punt by Jacob Feese pinned the Vikings back at their own three-yard line, the Vikings took 13 plays to score again, this time going 97 yards and taking nearly six minutes off the clock.

    The drive was aided by a Line Mountain defensive holding penalty that erased a sack by Dominick Bridi on first-and-10 at the Line Mountain 44 yard-line.

    This penalty resulted in a big swing, as instead of facing a second and long, the Vikings had a first-and-10 at the Line Mountain 34-yard line and scored just two plays later.

    The score was Williams Valley’s first rushing touchdown of the night as Brady Miller rumbled in for the first of his two rushing touchdowns in the game.

    Miller led all rushers in the game with 96 rushing yards.

    Surprisingly enough, the 97-yard drive was not the longest drive of the night by the Vikings. The team’s opening drive of the second half started at its own one-yard line following another coffin corner punt by Feese.

    Williams Valley used a terrific mix of run and pass plays to drive 99 yards in 10 plays, culminating in an 18-yard touchdown reception by Jesse Engle.

    The touchdown was Bryce Herb’s third touchdown pass of the night. Herb finished the night completing 17 of 23 pass attempts for 295 yards and three touchdowns. He was not sacked in the game.

    “I don’t know what is out west, but in the east, I do know this is the best receiving corps in single A,” stated Williams Valley coach Tim Savage. “Bryce (Herb) has been throwing the ball very well.”

    Savage went on to applaud his team’s offensive effort in a tough Tri-Valley Athletic Association matchup.

    “Besides one miscue on our part we would never have punted,” he said. “That just feels great as a play caller and a coaching staff as a whole. The kids executed and it all looked great.”

    Williams Valley scored one more time on the evening after Hunter Wolfgang busted through the line to block a Line Mountain punt in the fourth quarter.

    The block resulted in the Vikings starting a drive in Line Mountain territory and ended with Miller’s second touchdown run of the night.

    Line Mountain fell to 3-3 overall on the season with the loss.

    Evan Herb completed four passes for 97 yards and a touchdown for the Eagles, while Feese led the team in rushing with 67 yards on 16 carries.

    Williams Valley outgained the Eagles in offensive yardage 452-223.

    “They had some kids make some unbelievable catches. Their quarterback kept his head under pressure. It was a great job by them,” said Coach Carson, “We had some breakdowns, but we were in position a couple of times and they made great throws and great catches.”

  • Blocked punts propel Parkland past Liberty, 35-7

    Blocked punts propel Parkland past Liberty, 35-7

    BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Despite a low-scoring beginning to the contest, Parkland’s special teams helped the Trojans pull-off a 35-7 convincing win over Liberty on Friday night in an EPC football game at BASD Stadium. Parkland led just 7-0 after the first quarter, but blocked two punts and converted them into touchdowns to help secure the road victory.

    In addition to the special teams unit shining, Parkland’s defense also shared some of the spotlight on Friday night. Not only did the team hold the Hurricanes to just seven points, but the defense also snagged a fumble recovery and intercepted a Liberty pass, just in the first quarter, to stop two Liberty drives.

    Then the third phase of the game got the scoring started late in the opening quarter. To cap off a drive, Parkland’s Isiah Rico punched it in through a pile of players from two yards out. The Trojans took the 7-0 lead with 1:39 left.

    That lead did not last long, however, as the Hurricanes responded with 9:23 left in the first half with a two-yard rushing score of their own. John Vazquez took the rock to the endzone for Liberty.

    Parkland’s passing game netted the next score for the Trojans with just 1:55 remaining in the second period. Ty Tremba hit John Siggins for a 10-yard pass in traffic. That gave Parkland the 14-7 advantage at the half, and started the stretch of 28 unanswered points for Parkland for the rest of the game.

    Rico found paydirt again in the second half to start the scoring for the Trojans in the third quarter, this one a 15-yard scamper for the score, which made it 21-7 midway through the third quarter.

    Then in the final three minutes of the third quarter, Parkland blocked back-to-back Liberty punts deep in their own territory and returned them for touchdowns. The first, which rolled into the endzone, was picked up by Parkland’s Sean Cox to make it 28-7.

    Following the win, Parkland hosts Nazareth next week and Liberty visits Emmaus looking to bounce back.

  • Cowanesque Valley defeats Columbia-Montour Vo-Tech 20-8

    Cowanesque Valley defeats Columbia-Montour Vo-Tech 20-8

    ALMEDIA – Playing almost two hours from home, their senior quarterback knocked out of the game after their first offensive series, and being a young team made up almost exclusively of freshmen and sophomores, Cowanesque Valley could have easily folded on Saturday early against Columbia-Montour Vo-Tech.

    Instead, the Indians rallied behind second-string quarterback Tucker St. Peter and the Cowanesque Valley defense didn’t allow the Rams to finish many drives and the Indians snapped the program’s 18-game losing streak with a 20-8 victory over CMVT. The win is the first for the Indians since Sept. 22, 2017 against Wyalusing and the first for first-year head coach Michael Schmitt.

    “We did it with a lot of adversity after Seth went down early and it was a real team victory,” said Schmitt. “Everyone kind of fit in where they had to. We had a lot of freshmen and sophomores do a lot of stuff today. I’ve believed since the get-go that these kids can win some games this year and I feel like they have to believe it and I’m happy that they could feel that since they’ve worked hard and are good young men.”

    Cowanesque Valley limited CMVT to just 158 total yards and the Rams only twice got inside the Indians’ 30-yard line.

    “Defensively, we tried to play it simple and really tried to understand the scheme that they were running,” said Schmitt. “I thought we did a real good job with that. They adjusted and hurt us with a few things but we came back after that and were able to adjust and fix it. We just did what we were supposed to do – real simple and no blitzing.”

    For CMVT, it marked the second straight game the Rams were without senior running back Jake Shotwell, who was half of the two-headed monster in the offensive backfield, and the one player with big play ability on offense. Not having that big play threat had an effect on the offense, but head coach Mark Varner instead pinpointed execution as the main issue his team had against the Indians.

    “It all starts with fundamentals and right now, we’re lacking them,” said Varner. “We’ve had two weeks to prepare with Jake being out so we know he’s going to be out and can’t use that as an excuse. When you have a player like Jake out, you have to do the little things correctly and we didn’t do that today and if you don’t, you’re not doing to win.”

    Seth Huyler, one of just five seniors on the Cowanesque Valley roster and who was off to a good start to the season at quarterback, played just one series, completing all three pass attempts and making a 15-yard run on the Indians’ first play from scrimmage, before he was forced to leave the game due to a shoulder injury.

    St. Peter moved from receiver to under center and on his second series, was given a very short field with which to work after CMVT had a fake punt stopped from their own 20 on a fourth-and-3 play. Taking over at the CMVT 21, the Indians took four plays to put the ball in the end zone on a three-run yard by St. Peter to take a 6-0 lead after a failed two-point conversion early in the second quarter.

    “We’ve been getting better each week offensively and the game plan was to use our quarterback but when he went out, we had to do it differently with a smaller guy who less experienced but he did a great job,” said Schmitt.

    Later in the second, the Indians took advantage of a CMVT turnover to extend their lead. Kole Hurler, another one of the five seniors for Cowanesque Valley, picked off a pass at midfield and gave the Indians possession at the Ram 45 with 2:37 left in the half. Hurler then made a key play on offense as four plays later, St. Peter found him on a short out pattern near the left sideline, and Hurler eluded the sideline and a handful of CMVT defenders to go all the way for a 36-yard touchdown reception and put the Indians up 12-0 heading into halftime.

    Cowanesque Valley then had a sequence of events go against it to begin the second half, but once again, it responded right away. The Indians went three-and-out after receiving the second half kickoff and had their punt blocked, giving CMVT the ball at the Indian 33.

    CMVT then put together it’s only scoring drive of the afternoon, as they got six straight rushes from Mekhi Mundrick, the last being a two-yard plunge, followed by another Mundrick run for a two-point conversion to pull within four at 12-8 with 7:21 left in the third.

    But the Indians responded in a big way as they put together their longest and best drive of the game on their ensuing possession. An 11-play, 65-yard drive was capped by St. Peter’s nine-yard touchdown pass to Jacob Schmitt and he then found Hurler for the two-point conversion to give COwanesque Valley a 20-8 lead. The play for the touchdown was the second third down conversion of the drive, and the Indians also converted a fourth-and-2 on an 11-yard completion from St. Peter to Elliott Good.

    The Rams were unable to get anything going on the final three possessions, as they punted once, lost a fumble and then turned it over on downs.

  • Midd-West romps Blue Devils

    Midd-West romps Blue Devils

    BEAVER SPRINGS – For two drives to begin the game Friday night it looked like the Midd-West Mustangs might have their hands full with visiting Shenandoah Valley.

    Any hope for the Blue Devils quickly faded as Midd-West scored on five straight offensive possessions and even scored with the defense on the field as the home team rolled to a 54-6 blowout Friday night.

    Shenandoah Valley won the coin toss and chose to receive. The Blue Devils promptly put together a nice drive with quarterback Joseph ‘Junebug’ Karvois completing his first four passes of the game. Unfortunately for the visitors, the drive came to a halt shortly after crossing into Midd-West territory forcing a punt.

    The Blue Devil’s defense came out just as strong on the opening drive, holding the Midd-West offense to just four yards on three plays and gaining possession right back.

    From that point forward it was all Mustangs, as the team forced a Shenandoah Valley three-and-out thanks in part to a Ben Umstead sack that pushed the Blue Devils back deeper into their own territory.

    Just two offensive snaps later, the Mustangs were literally off and running as Hunter Wolfley galloped 85 yards for the game’s opening touchdown. Wolfley would score two more touchdowns on the night – One more on the ground and one through the air.

    “It was all our line,” Wolfley said of his team’s success on the ground. “We challenged ourselves to try to get 200 rushing yards this week and our line stepped it up a little bit.”

    The Mustangs finished with 210 yards on the ground.

    After a missed PAT, the Mustangs held a 6-0 lead and Shenandoah Valley went back to its areal attack. Unfortunately for the visitors, this resulted in an interception by Gabe Register that was taken back to the house for another Mustang score.

    With a modest 12-0 lead entering the second quarter, the Mustangs really found their offensive groove.

    Trey Lauver was the next to score as he took an inside veer 45 yards for a score. This was the first of two touchdowns on the ground for Lauver in the game.

    As the Mustangs’ lead increased, the team was able to take a 41-0 lead into the halftime break which put the mercy rule into effect right at the start of the second half.

    After a scoreless third quarter, Shenandoah Valley was able to drive for its lone score of the game. Junebug Karvois put together another drive with four completions, this one ending in a seven-yard touchdown to senior wideout Joey Alshefski.

    Alshefski may have scored the lone Blue Devil touchdown and finished the night with five catches for 26 yards and a score, but it was the other senior receiver for the Blue Devils that led all players in the game in receiving. Senior Alex Donchak put up an outstanding line of seven catches for 102 yards despite not finding the endzone.

    “We wanted that shutout, but we gave that up late,” said Midd-West coach Brad Hatter following the blowout. “But offensively we preformed well. They went in and took care of business.”

    On Midd-West’s next possession following the Blue Devils’ touchdown, a special moment happened when junior TJ Straub – a player on the Midd-West team with special needs – ran 20-yards untouched into the endzone.

    “We were hoping to be able to do something like that,” said Hatter. “(TJ) has been with us since day one. He’s been working hard, doing the conditioning and all that stuff, so we as a staff wanted to find a good time to get him in the game. Credit to Shenandoah Valley for working with us on it and making it a special night for him.”

    Midd-West scored a pair of touchdowns in the final five minutes to walk away with a 54-6 victory.

    “We played well tonight,” said Hatter. “You never know how you’re going to respond in games like this. It’s easy to overlook a team like this. In that first drive they had a few plays against us in the passing game, but we made adjustments and played solid football after that.”

    The Mustangs improved to 2-2 on the season and will host Jim Thorpe (4-0). The Olympians are coming off of a 76-0 shutout of Kutztown.

    Shenandoah Valley fell to 0-4 on the season and will take on Nativity BVMat 7 p.m. Friday in Pottsville.

  • Wyomissing Area cruises past North Schuylkill, 31-14

    Wyomissing Area cruises past North Schuylkill, 31-14

    WYOMISSING – The stage was set for No.5 Wyomissing (3-0) vs. No.1 North Schuylkill (2-1) this afternoon at Wyomissing. The Spartans defense came up big in the second half, especially in the fourth quarter with a pair of fourth down stops to secure the win. 

    Leading the way was Wyomissing’s Jordan Auman who scored a pair of touchdowns and threw another in a 31-14 win today.

    North Schuylkill turned the ball over on the opening kickoff at their eight-yard line. Wyomissing’s Braden Eberhart recovered the fumble. It would take two plays for the Spartans to get on the board. Auman hit Jevin Tranquillo for the touchdown pass. The extra point was good and the Spartans led 7-0.

    On Wyomissing’s second possession, Auman went in from five yards out. They led North Schuylkill 14-0 with 3:21 left in the first quarter.

    North Schuylkill cut the deficit to 14-7. Quarterback Jaden Leiby went 61 yards down the sideline for the score with 1:18 left in the first quarter. 

    The Spartans added to their lead. Aidan Cirulli kicked a 20-yard field goal to give them a 17-7 lead over North Schuylkill with 6:48 remaining in the first half. 

    Again the defense stepped up. Darren Brunner of Wyomissing had a huge interception with 3:29 left in the half to end North Schuylkill drive.

    That score stood. At halftime, Wyomissing led 17-7 and received the opening second half kick. 

    Wyomissing turned it over on a fumble at their nine-yard line. North Schuylkill recovered the fumble with 3:37 remaining in the third quarter. Leiby went in untouched from six-yards out.  Wyomissing led is 17-14.

    The Spartans offensive line took control capping a 13-play, 64-yard drive. With 9:59 left in the game, Evan Niedrowski scored from eight yards out. Wyomissing built their lead 24-14.

    Wyomissing added another score late in the fourth quarter. Auman went in from four yards out. 

    Note: North Schuylkill’s Jaden Leiby led the way with 79 yards passing and 139 yards rushing. Wyomissing’s Hurleman had 145 yards rushing on 15 carries leading the Spartans. 

  • Bangor holds on, bests Northern Lehigh 28-21

    Bangor holds on, bests Northern Lehigh 28-21

    Two first-half touchdown passes and then a late defensive stand helped Bangor beat Northern Lehigh 28-21 in a Colonial League contest on Friday night at a chilly and wet Bangor Memorial Park Stadium. The loss is the first for the Bulldogs this season.

    The two teams nearly went through the first quarter scoreless until Bangor (2-1) struck for a score. Joe Genteel heaved up a 37-yard pass to Nick Davanzo, who managed to stay in bounds and scamper a few yards for the game’s first touchdown. The Slaters led 7-0 after a quick first quarter of play.

    In the second quarter, Bangor broke through again with the same connection in the same fashion. Genteel tossed up a 52-yard pass to Davanzo, who beat a defender and strolled in for the score. Bangor led 14-0 with 10:03 left in the first half.

    Then the Bulldogs’ defense decided to take matters into their own hands. Zach Moyer intercepted a Bangor pass and ran it back 15 yards to the end zone to get Northern Lehigh on the scoreboard. Moyer followed that up by running in a touchdown a few minutes later to tie the game at 14 at the half.

    Then in the third quarter, the rain began to fall in the Slate Belt and persisted for the remainder of the game. As the teams battled Mother Nature, Genteel broke through the Bulldog defense line in the third quarter to break the tie and give the hosts a 21-14 advantage.

    That lead did not last long, however, as the Bulldogs answered. Moyer rolled out a tossed a 15-yard touchdown pass to Chase Misera in the end zone to tie the game once again, this time at 21.

    With the game knotted up heading into the fourth quarter and the rain falling harder, neither team could move the football with ease. Then with just 64 seconds left on the clock, Kael Godshalk pushed through at the goal line to put Bangor up 28-21.

    On the ensuing kick-off, Northern Lehigh ran a reverse to perfection and pushed deep into Bangor territory. Then a dead-ball penalty on the Slaters pushed the ball into the red zone. The Bulldogs advanced as far as the seven-yard line, where they had a third down, but took a sack. Then on fourth down, Moyer was hit hard and the ball jostled loose, which sealed the victory for the Slaters.

    The team of Genteel and Davanzo helped pilot Bangor to the win. Genteel went 9-10 passing for 186 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Davanzo hauled in seven passes for 157 yards and two touchdowns.

    Next week Bangor hosts the league-leading Southern Lehigh squad on Friday night. Northern Lehigh visits Pen Argyl on Saturday.

  • Mount Carmel shut out by Tigers

    Mount Carmel shut out by Tigers

    CATAWISSA – Coming off a dominating performance against a two-time defending state champion on national television last Sunday, Southern Columbia, a two-time defending state champion in its own right, picked up right where it left off in South Carolina in its home opener on Saturday night.

    The Tigers, who last lost a regular season game in 2011, dominated the one team that had even remotely tested them the last two years as they recorded their second straight shutout with a 48-0 win over Mount Carmel.

    Southern, whose last regular season loss was to Mount Carmel in the second-to-last game of the 2011 season when most of the current players were in elementary school, racked up 387 yards of offense, including 311 on the ground. It’s defense, meanwhile, seldom gave Mount Carmel any space in which to work, as the Red Tornadoes were held to just 29 yards rushing and only 153 overall, as well as just five first downs – including just two in the first half – while sacking Mount Carmel quarterback Tom Reisinger four times.

    “Our front was very good against the run and pass. We have enough speed with the front four that we can get pressure without blitzing and then when we do blitz, our linebackers are quick,” said Southern coach Jim Roth. “Our first two games we’re gone up against teams with veteran quarterbacks that have thrown the ball effectively and we just took them right out of the game.

    “When we talk pass defense, we say we need to cover people but it’s probably more important to get pressure on the quarterback because that goes a long way to helping the secondary in coverage.”

    Offensively, it was once again a balanced attack by the Tigers just as in Week 1. Gaige Garcia led the ground attack with 94 yards on 10 carries and a pair of touchdowns, while his younger brother Gavin, scored four touchdowns on five touches and finished with 86 yards. Julian Fleming hauled in four catches for 57 yards, including a 28-yard reception on Southern’s first play from scrimmage.

    “I thought they threw the ball a little bit more than we expected, but I thought we would defend the run better than what we did,” said Mount Carmel coach John Darrah.

    Fleming’s initial catch eventually led to Southern’s first score of the night on a two-yard run by Gaige Garcia. Mount Carmel went three-and-out again on its next drive, and Fleming then proceeded to return the punt 50 yards all the way to the Mount Carmel 4-yard line, from which Gavin Garcia punched it in one play later to put Southern up 14-0 less that midway through the first quarter.

    Mount Carmel then forced back-to-back three-and-outs for the Tigers, but also went three-and-out on its ensuing possessions while struggling with field position. Southern then took a 20-0 lead early in the second quarter on Gavin Garcia’s second touchdown, this one from seven yards out with 11:28 left in the second quarter.

    From that point, Southern would score on three of its next four possessions to take a 41-0 lead early in the third quarter. Gavin Garcia ripped off two long touchdown runs from 38 and 35 yards, and then Gaige Garcia added a 30-yard touchdown with 9:33 left in the third. Southern got a 58-yard interception return by Nick Zeigler to cap the scoring in the fourth quarter.

    “I think our offense executed a little bit better than we did last week,” said Roth. “The passing game looked a little bit better and I think that will continue to improve as Preston gets a little bit more comfortable with having that role as the starter and playing two ways as well.”

    But the big story was again the Southern defense, which is yet to allow a point through the first two weeks of the season against two outstanding, championship-caliber teams. Of Mount Carmel’s 51 plays, only seven were run on Southern’s side of the field. Only three plays were run beyond the Southern 40.

    “We just didn’t execute that well, especially early on. We had some protection breakdowns, which you can’t do against a really good team,” said Darrah. “They have a lot of speed and good players on defense so there’s not many holes. Especially early on, we just had a couple of busts in either communication or lack of execution and things like that put us behind the eight ball, so we need to clean that stuff up (moving forward).”

  • Breed leads Wildcats to 2-0

    Breed leads Wildcats to 2-0

    MIFFLINBURG – Things weren’t looking good for the home Wildcats through the first two drives of the game Friday night.

    Bloomsburg seemed to have the Mifflinburg rushing attack figured out, stuffing the Wildcats for just four rushing yards on five attempts in the Wildcats first five offensive plays of the game. The first drive ended with a three-and-out with one yard of offense. The second drive ended in a Mifflinburg fumble, which Bloomsburg turned into a score. The Black Panthers took the lead with four minutes remaining in the opening quarter.

    From that point a switch flipped, and the Wildcats came to life. The team racked up 234 rushing yards, with 179 coming from Mason Breed. From that point forward, the Wildcats rebounded to pick up a 39-13 win over Bloomsburg to improve to 2-0 on the young season.

    “I just told these guys, I can’t remember the last (game) where the opponent scored first and we ended up on top,” Mifflinburg coach Jason Dressler stated following the game. “We showed so much heart and so much toughness. We made a lot of mistakes in that game, but they just kept battling.”

    The Mifflinburg fumble that set up an early Bloomsburg score certainly set Bloomsburg up with the early momentum, but that didn’t last long.

    Mifflinburg’s Andrew Diehl fielded the ensuing kickoff at the Mifflinburg 11-yard line and scampered up the near sideline. The 89-yard kickoff return evened the score at seven apiece, just 13 seconds after Bloomsburg had taken the initial lead.

    “That was huge by Andrew to show his athleticism there,” stated Dressler. “We did a great job blocking. He saw the seam and took it. It was awesome. Great momentum for us.”

    Following the game-tying score a series of events happened. It didn’t seem as though either team wanted to obtain possession of the ball.

    Mifflinburg’s defense was able to force a three-and-out on Bloomsburg’s ensuing possession and took over in Bloomsburg territory. An interception on the second play of the drive gave the Panthers the ball right back.

    Unfortunately for Bloomsburg, their possession was short-lived. A fumble on the first play of the drive gave the ball right back to Mifflinburg, who ended the first quarter with an offensive three-and-out.

    Bloomsburg struck early in the second quarter to take the lead back. On first-and-15 from their own 14-yard line, Bloomsburg quarterback Jack Howell dropped back in the pocket and delivered a beautiful deep ball to Daniel Guzevich. Guzevich turned to locate the ball, and despite near-perfect coverage from DeGroat in the secondary, was able to make the catch and stroll into the end zone for an 86-yard catch and run score.

    Mifflinburg again struck back immediately, though not quite as quickly as it had the first time. Mifflinburg’s ensuing drive lasted 11 plays and took over four minutes off the clock in the second quarter. Halfback Mason Breed rumbled into the endzone from 11-yards out, his first of four scores on the night. Gabe Stetler knocked the extra point through the uprights to give Mifflinburg its first lead of the game at 14-13 with 6:26 remaining in the first half.

    In the second half, things really took off for Mifflinburg on both sides of the ball. Offensively the Wildcats more than doubled their score as the Wildcats outscored the Panthers 25-0 in the final two quarters.

    Breed scored his second and third touchdowns of the night.all four of his scores came on the ground – on the Wildcats’ first two possessions coming out of the half, as a stout Bloomsburg run defense early on looked as if it was wearing down.

    “We went in (to the locker room) and talked about things that we saw in the first half. We were anxious and we weren’t executing properly. We weren’t finishing things.” Dressler said. “We figured out a couple things and just made some minor adjustments and they came out here and did it.”

    Defensively in the second half, Mifflinburg forced a pair of turnovers and also blocked a punt which was scooped up and taken to the endzone by Michael Antonyuk on the final play of the game.

    “In the second half our defense really stepped up,” Dressler said, “There were a couple things we saw going on. We had to fix our tackling, but still they came out the second half and played phenomenal.”

    Breed finished the game with 24 rushes for 179 yards (7.5 yards per carry) and four touchdowns.

    “It was an amazing feeling,” said Mason Breed, “Last year I wasn’t able to play because of an injury and we lost big-time. It was a great feeling to get some redemption this year and be able to pound them and run the ball which we haven’t been able to do in a while.”

    The win improves the Wildcats’ record to 2-0 to begin the season. This is the first time Mifflinburg has started a season 2-0 since 2011.

    “It feels great,” said Dressler, “I’m very proud of this team… It was a battle and we knew it was going to be.”

    The Wildcats will look to improve to 3-0 Friday when the team plays host to Milton (0-2).

    Notes: The Wildcats lost to the Panthers in Bloomsburg last season 39-0… The Wildcats did not attempt a single pass play in the second half… Mifflinburg ran more running plays (45) than Bloomsburg ran total offensive plays (41) in the game.

  • District 1 Showdown, an absolute mow down

    District 1 Showdown, an absolute mow down

    In a potential district playoff meeting, the Downingtown West Whippets put the clamps down on perennial District and Central League power Garnet Valley, by a 42-19 score. Many people thought it would have been a better game, but it got away from the visiting Jaguars in the second quarter.

    Garnet Valley had a solid drive to jump on the Whippets for a 7-0 lead early. The drive was capped off by a one-yard run by Jake Morin.  Tyriq Lewis tied the game up on a 61-yard run on fourth down.

    During most of the first half, the Jaguars had some success with the veer option. A couple self inflicted mistakes (multiple fumbled snaps, missed field goal) allowed the Whippets to pull away.

    A Sean Pelkisson 22-yard run and a five-yard reception gave the Whippets a 21-7 halftime advantage. Howard made the connection to Pelkisson again to open the second half, which made it 28-7.

    At this point, the Jaguars showed some life. They scored on a six-yard pass from Gallagher to Craig to close the gap to 28-13.

    Any hope Garnet Valley had to get back into the game, was squashed with a 91-yard kickoff return by Julian Williams. Add in a one-yard run by Wil Howard, and it was too much.

    Kansas State bound quarterback, Wil Howard, threw for 155 yards, and Tyriq Lewis ran for 100 yards for West.

  • Midd-West takes season opener

    Midd-West takes season opener

    Beaver Springs – It was déjà vu for the Midd-West football team Friday night in Beaver Springs, as the team opened its second year with a football program in the same fashion it opened its first season, with a win over Marian Catholic.

    In last season’s opener, Midd-West earned its first career victory as a football program by earning a road victory over the Colts to open the season. Much was the same Friday night, though there was never much doubt that the Mustangs would be able to take care of business.

    Things did start out slow for the host team. After receiving the opening kickoff, the Mustangs promptly went three-and-out and then eventually punted on their second offensive drive of the game.

    Meanwhile the team’s defense looked outstanding. The Mustangs owned the trenches throughout the game, completely shutting down any hope Marian Catholic had of establishing the run game.

    In the Colts’ first two possessions of the game, the team posted -19 total yards of offense as the Mustangs stopped Marian Catholic in the backfield on five of its first six plays.

    Midd-West was able to flip the field following Marian Catholic’s second possession of the game. Both Thane Treaster and Brayden Swineford were able to get penetration to block a Marian Catholic punt, recovering the ball at the Marian Catholic 11-yard line.

    Midd-West put points on the board, though probably not in the way Coach Hatter had hoped. The team had to settle for a 32-yard field goal by Carter Sauer to take a 3-0 lead.

    On the following Marian Catholic possession, Midd-West continued to dominate defensively. After a holding penalty on the kickoff caused the Colts to begin from their own eight-yard line, back-to-back negative plays and a pair of false start penalties pinned the Colts back at their own one-yard line. On third-and-17, a host of Midd-West defenders swarmed the ball. They earned a safety by tackling the Marian Catholic ball carrier in the backfield for a 5-0 lead early in the second quarter.

    On the night, Midd-West stuffed the Colts’ running game as the Colts ran the ball 40 times for -13 yards.

    Midd-West scored its first touchdown of the season later in the quarter, as Hunter Wolfley scored the first of his four touchdowns on the night. This one coming on a 69-yard punt return for a score. Wolfley had found himself in the endzone twice before on the night, though both scores were called back due to a Midd-West penalty. Wolfley ended the night with a punt return touchdown, a receiving touchdown and a pair of rushing touchdowns.

    Wolfley’s punt return touchdown seemingly sparked the Midd-West offense. The team rallied to score two more touchdowns, one on a 17-yard Wolfley reception and another on a 36-yard Gabe Register reception, in the final two minutes of the quarter to take a 25-6 halftime lead.

    During the strong offensive outburst by the Mustangs, Marian Catholic was able to produce its lone score of the game. With 6:24 remaining in the second quarter, the Colts struck on back to back big plays to set themselves up in scoring position. On a third and ten from their own 22-yard line, Colts’ quarterback Matt Rehrig fired a ball to wide receiver Luis Terion, who made a defender miss and took the ball down the far sideline for a 42-yard gain. The very next play, halfback Nick Falls took a handoff for a 23-yard gain to put the Colts at the Midd-West 13-yard line.

    Three plays later it was Terion again who hauled in a fade pass from Rehrig for a 15-yard score.

    Midd-West didn’t slow down in the second half, as Wolfley scored yet again, tacking on a pair of rushing touchdowns to safely put the game away.

    “We cleaned things up a bit in the second half,” said Hatter. “We didn’t hurt ourselves like we did in the first half. We left 14 points on the board in the first half that had to come off because of penalties.

    “We worked well together as a team tonight,” Wolfley said. “There were some penalties here and there but it’s our first game. We had a good week of practice and that makes Fridays easier.”

    Midd-West allowed just 24 yards of total offense in the entire second half and only 63 yards of offense in the entire game.

    “In the first game, there is a lot of unknowns,” Hatter added. “We came out and challenged them and they answered the bell for us. It was a good win tonight.”

    Midd-West improved to 1-0 to begin the season and will take on Blue Mountain (1-0) on the road next Friday. Blue Mountain shut out the Mustangs in Beaver Springs last season.

    2019 Offensive Outlook: Having 8 new starters on offense means we are going to keep it simple and try to not give up easy turnovers or quick 3 and outs. If we can have good ball security and stay healthy early in the year we should be a very good team by then end of the season.

    2019 Defensive Outlook: The 2 starters we have returning are both extremely good football players who find the ball in space. We are focusing on trying to limits our mistakes and blown assignments to keep up in games.

    2019 Special Teams Outlook: Our special teams are starting from scratch with all of our kickers, snappers, and returners gone from last years team.

    Coaches Comments: Nick will be entering this season as an upcoming 4 year starter at the QB position. While stats are a good indicator of how a season went for a player, they don’t tell the whole story. An injury riddled junior season put a damper on his stats, but Nick’s leadership both on and off the field are what separates this kid from the rest. He was voted on by his peers to serve as team captain and also earned the trust from his Coach to make audibles at the line of scrimmage. Nick’s football IQ matches that of his hard work in the classroom as he has a 4.0 GPA and has a 1350 SAT score. He has all of the tools to make any FCS coach happy in the coming months!

He has been a full-time varsity starter since then. He is one of the hardest workers and tough as nails. He will often play thru injury, as he did in our district championship game last season. He played on severely bruised lower leg. This season Connor will be moving positions on both sides of the ball. Offensively, he will be bumping out to tackle and defensively he will be moving out to End.

    Coaches Comments: Josh has a phenomenal work ethic and may possibly have the highest ceiling of any player that I’ve coached. He can play either the 1 or 3 technique and will cause havoc at either position. His athleticism for his size is under appreciated as one can tell by his hudl tape. His punch at the point of attack is impressive and is directly correlated with his success throwing the shot put. Josh placed 5th at the PIAA State meet (AA) as a sophomore and is looking to improve upon that during his junior year.

  • 2018 EasternPAFootball.com Class 5A Co-Player of the Year, Keith Maguire, Malvern Prep (Non-PIAA)

    Keith, a Clemson signee, is a 6-2, 215-pound inside linebacker. No matter what Coach Gueriera needed him to do he would do it. On offense he rushed for 313 yards. He caught 17 passes for 314 yards and scored 12 (7 receiving, 5 rushing) total touchdowns. He had four interceptions on defense. He returned two of them for a touchdown. 

    “Keith is an amazing athlete. We knew he would be a top performer week in and week out on the field,” said Head Football Coach Dave Gueriera.  

    He helped lead Malvern to a third straight Inter-Ac title and an undefeated season. 

    “His leadership is what stood out the most during this 11-0 season.  He led by both his actions and vocally.  Keith had a great knack for getting his teammates on the same page throughout the season.    He has the utmost respect of everyone in the program, deservedly so!”

    He is currently ranked the 6th best player according to 247sports.com

  • 2018 EasternPAFootball.com Class 4A Player of the Year, Nazir Burnett, Bishop McDevitt (3)

    When you talk about elite players in Pennsylvania, you have to mention Bishop McDevitt’s Nazir Burnett.

    In 2018, he caught 78 passes for 1,746 yards and 25 receiving touchdowns while facing double teams and eight games where he was taken out at halftime or the third quarter.

    It’s mind boggling when you think he only played two quarters a game most of the time. Most receiving yards in a season is held by another McDevitt alum. Brian Lemelle in 2011 had 2,630 yards. Imagine if Burnett played all four quarters of each game. We may have been talking about a new receiving record in Pennsylvania. 

    “Nazir had the confidence that nobody could cover him one on one this season,” said Head Football Coach Jeff Weachter. “He possesses good size, 6’2 and runs a 4.4 with the large catch radius with natural hands. He runs the whole route better than anyone I have ever coached. College coaches that visited McDevitt in the spring, that watched him run routes in person were amazed. He is very smooth running routes and is excellent getting in and out of breaks.”

  • 2018 EasternPAFootball.com Class 2A Player of the Year, Julian Fleming, Southern Columbia (4)

    Julian Fleming was chosen as the 2018 Gatorade Pennsylvania High School Football Player of the Year on the day before Southern Columbia’s PIAA Class 2A State Championship. The junior, who makes an impact in all three phases of the game, can now add another award to his lengthy list. For the second year in a row Fleming has been picked as the EasternPAFootball.Com’s Player of the Year. In 2017, he shared the honor with teammate Gaige Garcia who had to be another strong candidate in 2018 for the award.

    Fleming, who is the top-ranked wide receiver in the country, has narrowed down his college choices to a list that includes both of this year’s College Football Playoff National Championship schools in Alabama and Clemson. He is not ready to make his selection quite yet. “I didn’t have much time during the season to look at things because I was fully committed to doing my part in helping the team,” said Fleming.

    Helping the team would be more of an understatement. District IV’s all-time leading receiver finished this championship winning season with career highs of 78 receptions for 1,524 yards and 22 touchdowns. The most overlooked part of his game is what he does on the plays that he isn’t touching the football. “I want to prove to everyone that I’m all about the team. When my teammates touch the ball, I want to give them a block to help lead them into the end zone,” Fleming said. The All-American made a highlight reel of blocks throughout the undefeated season.

    On defense, he was the definition of a shutdown cornerback. Very rarely did teams test him, but when they did the result was often a negative one. “He’s a complete player. No matter where you put him, he makes an impact. His athleticism and talent level makes him a nightmare for whoever he goes up against,” said head coach Jim Roth. Fleming tied for a team-high with four interceptions and he was able to return three of them for touchdowns.

    On special teams, he was one of the best punters in the state. Only having to punt 19 times total, his right foot averaged 41 yards per punt with only five of them being returnable. As a returner, him and Garcia were a nightmare for the opponent. On punts and kickoffs they combined to touch the ball less than 20 times because of how scary their presence is. Fleming was able to return a punt for a touchdown on one of the occasions where he was mistakenly given a chance. 

    He will head in to his senior season with 183 receptions for 3,942 yards and 55 touchdowns. The Tigers are 47-1 during his career including two state championships and one state runner-up. He wants to make sure that they get back to Hershey for his final year. “That’s our goal each year. You want to be playing in that sixteenth game. As seniors, we will be counted on as the leaders,” said Fleming.

  • Cathedral Prep Claims Third Straight State Championship And Fifth Overall

    HERSHEY – Running back Billy Lucas had a record night at Hersheypark Stadium Thursday night in a Class 4A state championship game. Lucas rushed for a record 287 yards and 40 carries to lead Cathedral Prep to their fifth state championship.

    This is the third straight year the Ramblers defeated Imhotep Charter in the state finals. The District 10 champions won 38-7.

    The Ramblers offensive line set the tone right out of the gates. They went 78 yards on five plays that were all runs by Lucas including a 56-yard touchdown run to take a 7-0 lead over the Panthers. 

    Cathedral Prep was on the move again and faced a fourth and goal. But the Imhotep defense stopped Lucas at the goal line. They took over at the one-yard line with 5:40 left in the first quarter. The Panthers tied the game up at 7. Dshaun Seals’ 19-yard touchdown run capped off a 16-play, 99-yard drive. 

    The Ramblers scored the next ten points before halftime. Regan Schleicher’s score on a 15-yard run.  Colin Kelly kicked a 30-yard field goal to put Prep up 17-7 at halftime.

    Imhotep was moving the ball on the opening drive of the second half. Jalen Sutton-Christian had a big run on fourth and 10 for a first down on Prep’s 22. Another fourth down try by Sutton-Christian almost connected in the end zone to Yusef Terry, but it was broken up by Colin Kelly. Prep took over on downs. 

    No surprise here. There was a heavy dose of running by Billy Lucas in the second half started wearing down the Panthers’ defense. Schleicher had a great fake to Lucas and went in from two yards out. The Ramblers led 24-7 in the third quarter with 2:47 remaining. 

    Imhotep fumbled on their next possession.  Cathedral Prep’s Ian Sitzler recovered the ball on Imhotep’s 22. A few runs later and Lucas went in from one yard out. 

    Lucas added one more score in the fourth quarter. He went in from nine yards out and with 7:23 left in the game Prep led 38-7 on their way to another state title.

  • 2018 PIAA Class 4A High School Football Preview

    Imhotep Charter (11-2) vs. Cathedral Prep (12-3)

    HERSHEY – The past few years the matchup at Hershey has been Cathedral Prep vs. Imhotep Charter. In 2015, Imhotep won the 3A state title and Cathedral Prep has won the last two at the 4A level.

    It’s like a boxing match….in this heavy weight bout, Cathedral Prep leads the score card two rounds to one heading into the fourth round. 

    Who will take control of this heavy weight battle? We will see Thursday Night.

    Let’s take a look at the teams.

    Imhotep quarterback, Jalen Sutton-Christian’s game has picked up since the playoffs have begun and the result is a more balanced team than earlier in the year. Jalen’s hot hand and Tyke Smith’s blazing running attack is a tough one-two punch to stop.

    Tykee Smith has broken two 90-yard runs the past couple of weeks. This includes a 93-yarder against Bethlehem Catholic last week. 

    The Panthers need to mix it up on offense against Cathedral Prep. They need to spread them out at times or run behind that big line and try to sustain long drives. 

    Imhotep has size, strength and experience on the offensive line and needs to move the chains against this Cathedral Prep defense. 

    Cathedral Prep’s running attack combo of Billy Lucas and Regan Schleicher ran for more than 300 yards rushing last weekend.

    Can Imhotep’s defense shut down this explosive offense? Their strength on defense is the secondary. Tykee Smith is the leader. Imhotep needs to keep the receivers in front of them. They need to force them to throw short passes and make plays. The Panthers defensive line needs to pressure Cathedral Prep’s quarterback.

    Here are some players to watch out for on the Cathedral Preps team.

    Quarterback Connor Schleicher completed 82 of 157 passes for 1,249 yards,16 touchdowns and three interceptions. He rushed for 672 yards and 12 touchdowns. 

    Running back, Billy Lucas, rushed for 1,660 yards on 199 carries and 19 touchdowns. Luke Sittinger rushed for 650 yards and six touchdowns. 

    Wide receiver, Jack Oedekoven, caught 37 passes for 769 yards and 10 touchdowns. Joseph Scarabino caught 18 passes for 447 yards and nine touchdowns.  

    Imhotep Charter Players to Watch:

    Quarterback: Jalen Sutton-Christian completed 50 of 86 passes for 735 yards and nine touchdowns. He’s rushed for two touchdowns. 

    Running backs: Tykee Smith rushed for 502 yards on 60 carries and nine touchdowns. Carl Jones rushed for 206 yards and three scores. HB Symear Williams rushed for 198 yards on 24 carries and three scores. 

    Offensive Lineman: LT Quadir Hughes, LG Lamar Johnson, C Marlon Westcott, RG Jordan Johnson, RT John Whitehead 

    Wide Receivers/Tight Ends: Yusuf Terry caught 28 passes for 487 yards and five touchdowns. Dshaun Seals caught 12 passes for 184 yards and one score. Karam Cummings caught 11 passes for 146 yards. 

    Defensive Line: DE Shaun Small had four sacks, DE Mark Johnson, DT Lamar Johnson had four sacks, NG Jordan Griffin

    Linebackers: LB Symear Williams had 16 solo tackles, 36 total tackles and three tackles for loss. OLB Nasier Dean had 16 solo tackles, 28 total tackles and four tackles for loss. LB Saint McLeod had 21 solo tackles, 34 total tackles and three tackles for loss. 

    Defensive Backs: CB Shafeek Smith, CB Anthony Gordon, SS Tykee Smith, FS Javon McIntyr.

     

  • Bethlehem Catholic wins big, 58-20

    KINTNERSVILLE – Bethlehem Catholic’s Tavion Banks rushed for 167 yard and five touchdowns to lead the Golden Hawks to a 58-20 win over Pottsgrove Friday night in a PIAA Class 4A quarterfinal game at Palisades High School.

    Quarterback Zamar Brake added 252 yards passing in a balanced attack last night. Bethlehem Catholic now waits for the winner of the Imhotep Charter – Valley View game Saturday afternoon at Northern Lehigh HS.

    Bethlehem Catholic took the opening drive and went right down the field. Banks finished off the drive with a 20-yard run. The Golden Hawks got two-points on a bad snap by the Pottsgrove center that led to a safety. It was 9-0 Golden Hawks in the first quarter with 5:27 left.

    Both teams scored twice before the end of the first quarter. The Golden Hawks’ Zaheer Seabrooks went in from 15 yards out and Banks had a five-yard score. 

    Pottsgrove’s first touchdown of the night was a Jay Sisko pass to Ryan Bodolus for seven yards. The most electrifying play on the night was a Jimal Springfield 99-yard kickoff return.

    After one quarter and a bunch of penalties, the Golden Hawks led 23-14.

    In the second quarter, Banks added his third rushing touchdown of the night. He went in from two yards out. Pottsgrove’s Michael Sereny had a 27-yard field goal that cut the lead to 30-17.

    In the third quarter, another Sereny field goal, this time from 31yards out cut the lead to 10. With 8:35 left in the quarter, Pottsgrove trailed 30-20.That would be the closest Pottsgrove got. 

    Despite sloppy play early in the game by The Golden Hawks, their defense stepped up and created three second half turnovers. They scored the next four touchdowns to ice the game. 

    Seabrooks had a 20-yard score in the third quarter. Banks added two three-yard runs in the fourth and Abdul Salahuddin finished the night with a three-yard run.

  • West Catholic’s Zaire Hart-Hawkins’ two touchdown passes leads Burrs over Dunmore

    SLATINGTON – Before going out with a injury, West Catholic’s Zaire Hart-Hawkins threw two first quarter touchdown passes to Seth Degree pacing the Burrs to a 21-3 win over Dunmore Saturday afternoon at Northern Lehigh’s Bulldog Stadium.  With the win, West Catholic will move on and take on the winner of the Richland vs. Ligonier Valley game.

    The Burrs started quickly down the field. On the team’s first possession, quarterback  Zaire Hart-Hawkins connected with Seth Degree for an 11-yard touchdown pass with 9:17 in the first quarter. This combination wasn’t done in the first quarter. Hart-Hawkins went to Degree again, this time with a 59-yard touchdown. The Burrs led 14-0 with 3:09 left in the first quarter. 

    The celebration would be short-lived. Hart-Hawkins was injured on the touchdown throw. The Burrs seemed to struggle after the injury in the first half. Right before halftime, Dunmore got on the board with a Peyton Badyrka, 33-yard field goal with 6.1 seconds left in the first half.

    Late in the fourth quarter, the Burrs added a late touchdown on a Jacir Savoy nine-yard touchdown run with 4:52 remaining in the game. The touchdown was setup by a long pass from Tre Johnson to Julio Dasilva.

  • Warrior Run overcomes first-half turnovers to top CMVT, likely clinch final D4 3A playoff spot

    TURBOTVILLE – Close but not quite enough. That, along with missed opportunities, has, unfortunately for them, been one of the themes of Columbia-Montour Vo-Tech’s 2018 season.

    It was again the theme in Week 10, and although it took until the fourth quarter, Warrior Run was the beneficiary as the Defenders scored three touchdowns, including two off CMVT turnovers to break open what was a scoreless game after three quarters, and top CMVT 22-6. The win likely clinches the final playoff spot in District 4 Class 3A for Warrior Run, and a trip to either Danville or Montoursville, although final official power rankings and playoff matchups won’t be available until later in the weekend.

    The loss could mean the end to CMVT’s season, as it had entered Friday’s game points behind Shikellamy for the final playoff spot in District 4 Class 4A despite having two more wins on the season. Shikellamy also lost on Friday to a 3A team in Milton, so either way, it will likely come down to just a few percentage points as to which team earns the right to play on the road at what will likely be top-seeded Jersey Shore next week.

    “I think we eventually wore them down with the run game,” said Warrior Run coach Chris Long, whose team team outrushed CMVT 256-138. “Early on, we had drives and fumbled the ball away so that was back breaking in the first half but we finally got it going in the fourth quarter.”

    After giving away fumbles on three straight drives in the first half, including one at the goal line, Warrior Run held onto the ball in the second half, and was able to take advantage of both of CMVT’s second half turnovers. That contrasted the Rams, which were unable to convert any of their three takeaways into points.

    We battled the whole game but just make too many mistakes especially in the first half.,” said CMVT coach Mark Varner. “I’m certainly not upset with how we played, they fought to the end, we came back but just fell a little short.

    “Our first three games we had leads in the fourth quarter and things like fumbles and offsides and penalties killed our drives and the same things happened tonight. That’s been the theme of this season but the other theme is we’ve been there to battle. There have been other seasons where at halftime, we’re in the mercy rule and have nothing to play for in the second half so I’m proud of them.”

    The Defenders took over at their own 37 late in the third quarter after recovering a fumble that came on a muffed snap. They then put together a nine-play, 63-yard drive capped by a Denver Beachel 7-yard touchdown run to finally break the scoreless tie with 8:30 remaining in the game. Beachel, who finished 83 yards on 18 carries while seeing snaps at running back, receiver and quarterback, also completed a 24-yard wide receiver screen pass to Nathan Michael one a 3rd-and-9 to extend the drive.

    The Rams answered right back as Cole Simpler found Michael Starr for a 50-yard touchdown pass down the left sideline on just the fifth play of CMVT’s ensuing drive. The two-point conversion failed, however, when Jake Shotwell was stuffed just shy of the goal line.

    Warrior Run then countered with a 52-yard touchdown run by Hoyt Bower on the first play from scrimmage of their next drive after they recovered an onside kick by the Rams to go up 14-6. Bower finished with 106 yards on just seven carries, all in the second half.

    “We’ve been working on our run game very hard in practice so it was good to finally see that go,” said Long. “Hoyt ran really hard. He’s one of our faster kids and we’ve been trying to figure out where to use him appropriately and we hit on some stuff tonight that they were giving us that some other teams haven’t given us in the past. He’s naturally fast and is a good athlete.”

    On CMVT’s next drive, Beachel picked off a Simpler pass near midfield and returned it to the CMVT 31, and two plays later, broke off a 28-yard touchdown run for his second score of the night to put the game away.

    One of the reasons that CMVT was unable to take advantage of Warrior Run’s three first half turnovers was due to it going 1-of-5 on fourth down conversions. The Rams’ first drive of the game, which was started after a 42-yard return on the opening kickoff by Shotwell, stalled on a 4th-and-3 from the Warrior Run 19 as Ty Babb was stuffed for a six-yard loss.

    Warrior Run’s first lost fumble came with 4:21 left in the first quarter, but CMVT gave it right back just three plays later with a fumble of their own. The Defenders then coughed it up on their goal line on their next possession, and the Rams were unable to make it even to midfield and were forced to punt.

    The Defenders then fumbled it away on their third straight possession with 6:57 left in the second quarter at their own 35. The Rams took over and after converting on a nicely-executed fake punt to extend the drive, stalled at the Defender 7 after being stuffed for a one-yard loss on another 4th-and-3 play.

    “We battled the whole game but just make too many mistakes especially in the first half,” said Varner. “That first drive we need to put that in when we had the momentum and then after the fake punt we needed to put that score in,” said Varner. “If we put those two scores in, it’s a different ballgame. We left them in the game and that’s something we did a little too much this year. We’ve let teams in the game and then one letdown or mistake really hurts us.”

  • Pair of picks pay off for Bulldogs

    HERNDON – The Tri-Valley defense used a pair of interceptions returned all the way for scores to defeat the Line Mountain Eagles Friday night in Twin Valley League action.

    The pair of pick-6’s lifted Tri-Valley to a 27-14 victory and improved the team’s record to 6-3 overall.

    “The defense has been getting better and better each week and they really stepped up tonight with the three interceptions,” Coach Jeff Sampson said of his team’s effort, “They set the table for us on offense.”

    Line Mountain fell to 4-5 overall with the loss.

    Things didn’t start out in the Bulldogs’ favor as the Line Mountain offense struck quickly, scoring on the team’s first play from scrimmage.

    Line Mountain quarterback Evan Herb took the snap and faked a bubble screen to wideout Breven Derk. Tri-Valley’s defense bit hard on the play action, leaving Line Mountain’s Garret Laudenslager wide open down the seam for an 83-yard catch and run to give the Eagles a 7-0 lead.

    “That is a play I just drew up a few days ago,” Eagles coach Brandon Carson said. “I knew it would work because of the way defenses have been attacking our bubble screen lately.”

    Line Mountain staved off a pair of Tri-Valley drives deep into Eagles’ territory, but on Line Mountain’s second possession of the game, the tables quickly turned.

    With Line Mountain in the midst of a 10-play drive, Evan Herb dropped back to throw on 4thdown and 10 at the Tri-Valley 34-yard line. Herb floated a pass over the middle that was intercepted by Tri-Valley’s Nick Stiely at the 19 and taken back all the way for the game-tying score.

    The rest of the first half was all Bulldogs.

    On their next offensive possession, the Bulldogs marched right down the field to take the lead. A 10-play 83-yard drive was capped off by a 7-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Dalton Leedy to halfback Ike Lucas.

    Tri-Valley scored again on its next possession to take a 21-7 lead. This time the Bulldogs used a 7-play drive to pick up the score. On 1stdown and goal from the 1-yard line, the Eagles’ defense held strong forcing a pair of rushes for no gain up the middle. On 3rdand goal the Bulldogs resorted to the pass and Leedy found Nick Ziegmont on a quick slant for the score.

    Tri-Valley took the 21-7 lead into the half, but Line Mountain was set to receive the second half kick. The Eagles seemed to have gone 3-and-out on the opening drive as the punter Derk trotted out onto the field. However, Derk took the snap and motored around the right side of the defense to pick up a first down.

    The drive later ended after the Eagles failed to convert on 4thdown and 4 at the Tri-Valley 30-yard line.

    With the third quarter winding down, Line Mountain found themselves with a chance to claw back within a score. The Eagles leaned on running back Colby Scott who pounded the ball down the field. Scott ended up earning the score on a 3-yard touchdown run on the second play of the fourth quarter to cut the Bulldog lead to 21-14.

    Tri-Valley found itself in prime position to salt the game away with just under six minutes remaining. The Eagles attempted to fake another punt deep in their own territory. This time Line Mountain could not convert, giving Tri-Valley the ball back on the Line Mountain 10-yard line with 4:49 remaining and a one score lead. After an illegal motion penalty backed the Bulldogs up to 2ndand goal from the 9-yard line, a Laudenslager interception kept hopes alive for the Eagles.

    Laudenslager’s interception gave the Eagles one last shot at tying the game, but that hope ended when Tri-Valley returned its second interception for a touchdown on the night.

    With 44 seconds remaining, Tri-Valley’s Tyler McGrath stepped in front of a curl route and took the ball down the near sideline to put the icing on the cake for the visiting Bulldogs.

    “The last couple weeks the defense has really helped us put points on the board,” Sampson said. “We’ll take them however we can get them.”

    Tri-Valley quarterback Leedy completed 57 percent of his passes for 201 yards in the game. He threw for a pair of touchdowns and a pair of interceptions.

    Line Mountain’s Herb had a rough go of things on the night, completing just six of 25 pass attempts for 144 yards, a touchdown and three interceptions.

    “We shot ourselves in the foot a couple times,” Carson said. “We have to do a better job protecting the football and being smart and making smart plays.”

    Stiely went over 100 yards receiving on the night for the Bulldogs, hauling in four passes for 101 yards. Line Mountain’s Laudenslager led all receivers in the game with three grabs for 120 yards and a score.

    One week after rushing for 139 yards individually and 179 yards as a team, Line Mountain’s Scott was held in check rushing the ball 29 times for 81 yards and a score. The Eagles ran for just 100 yards in the game.

    “We knew Tri-Valley was going to come at us hard and play aggressive,” Carson said. “They played better interior defense that I expected. We thought we could beat them up inside, but we didn’t.”

    Line Mountain lost a pair of offensive linemen in the game to injury and were also without the leading receiver from last week’s game – Adam Malafi – for an undisclosed reason.

    Tri-Valley (6-3) closes the regular season with a league game at Susquenita (4-5).

    The Eagles (4-5) close the season with a tough test as the team travels to Upper Dauphin (8-1) who will be playing for a chance to earn at least a share of the Twin Valley League title.

  • Eagles’ defense delivers late

    HERNDON – For the third consecutive week Line Mountain had taken its opponent down to the wire. Friday night the defense capitalized late, as the Eagles ended a two-game skid to pick up a victory at the team’s own Glenn Ressler field.

    The Eagles – coming off a pair of close road losses to Williams Valley and Newport – finally got the job done with some late defensive heroics.

    With time winding down in the fourth quarter Line Mountain clung to a 22-14 lead. With 6:45 remaining in the game Line Mountain quarterback Evan Herb dropped back on third-and-eight and delivered a pass to the right side of the field. The ball was intercepted by Pine Grove’s Dalton Kintzel and returned to the Line Mountain 36-yard line, setting up the visiting team with exceptional field position in an attempt to tie the game late.

    The Cardinals of Pine Grove put together a nine-play drive that ended in a two-yard Kintzler touchdown run with 3:46 remaining in the game, cutting the Line Mountain lead to 22-20. Needing two points for the tie, the Cardinals leaned on the fullback Kintzler again. This time the junior was stuffed at the line of scrimmage by Line Mountain’s Breven Derk to preserve the two-point lead.

    “Our defense has been doing a really great job lately,” Line Mountain coach Brandon Carson stated. “We’re proud of everyone working together and fighting hard for 48 minutes.”

    This wasn’t the final time the Line Mountain defense needed to come up big, as the Cardinals used a pair of timeouts and earned a three-and-out to regain possession with 1:43 remaining for a potential game-winning drive.

    Pine Grove took over on its own 31-yard line after a Derk pooch-punt, and on the first play from scrimmage gained 33 yards on a pass down the right side of the field from quarterback Josh Leininger to wideout Dawson Ibarra.

    After the big gain, Pine Grove was suddenly within striking distance at the Line Mountain 36. After having a hard time stopping the pass up to that point, the Line Mountain defense stood strong forcing three incomplete passes in the final four plays of the game to give the home team the victory.

    “The quarterback (Leininger) was doing a great job of throwing the ball on time and putting the ball right on the money for the most part.” Carson said. “That’s what was difficult for us to defend. We were in pretty tight coverage, but if your quarterback is putting the ball on the money and on time there isn’t much you can do defensively.”

    The win snapped the Eagles’ two-game losing skid and put the team back at .500 with a 4-4 record on the season.

    “Credit to them for making some plays on us,” Carson said. “They executed and made some plays, we just had to keep chugging along and grinding it out. We didn’t give up many big plays tonight and I’m proud of that.”

    The loss dropped Pine Grove to 4-4 overall on the season.

    Pine Grove opened the game’s scoring on an impressive drive in the opening quarter. On the team’s second possession of the game, the visitors marched the ball 76 yards on a 15-play drive that chewed over five minutes off the clock.

    The drive culminated in quarterback Leininger scrambling for his life on a fourth-and-five at the Line Mountain 18-yard line and finding pay dirt after the long run for the game’s opening score. Without a PAT kicker, the Cardinals were forced to go for a 2-point conversion which was successful when starting tailback Colin Luckenbill crashed through the line to give Pine Grove an 8-0 advantage.

    The Pine Grove defense began the game strong by forcing a turnover on downs, a punt and a lost fumble on the first three Line Mountain drives of the game.

    On the final drive before the halftime whistle, Line Mountain finally recorded its first points of the night. The Eagles put together an impressive drive of their own, marching the ball 57 yards on 13 plays before finding the endzone on a Colby Scott one-yard run with three seconds remaining in the opening half. Scott then plowed into the endzone again for the two-point conversion to knot the game up at eight points apiece at the half.

    “We noticed in film that they were playing their inside linebackers really wide which set up for our zone read really well,” said Carson of his team’s performance on the ground. “We knew we would be able to have some success running that tonight as long as we took care of our blocks and played a hard and physical game.

    “Colby (Scott) ran really hard tonight. He just kept his legs moving and lowered his head. The kid just plays really hard and I’m really proud of him tonight. He’s a great example of someone who really cares about the team and will do anything for the team.”

    Scott rushed for 139 yards and two touchdowns on the night for the Eagles, leading all rushers in the game.

    Line Mountain failed to score on the opening drive of the second half and punted away to the Cardinals who promptly regained the lead. On the eighth play of the drive it was Leininger again who found the endzone, this time from 43 yards away to regain the lead. The 2-point conversion try failed, putting the Cardinals up 14-8 with 4:55 remaining in the third quarter.

    Line Mountain struck back on its ensuing possession, using Scott to bulldoze the Eagles down the field and netting his second score of the night. After Scott’s six-yard rush tied the game, Jacob Feese entered the game and provided a crucial PAT to give Line Mountain a 15-14 lead with 3:22 remaining in the third quarter.

    Line Mountain scored again in the fourth quarter when quarterback Evan Herb used play action to find Derk down the left sideline for a 26-yard lob into the endzone to push the Line Mountain lead to 22-14 with 10:06 remaining in the contest.

    “It feels fantastic to get a win tonight,” Carson said. “We told the kids that in the three years since this coaching staff has been here that we’ve started 0-1 all three years and that was really the only time we’ve dropped below .500 on the season. This year we’ve been below .500 three different times. I don’t want to be there, I know the guys don’t want to be there. We needed a win for our psyche, for ourselves and for the community tonight. This was a big and important win for us.”

    Despite the loss, Pine Grove outgained the Eagles 269-263 offensively in the game. Pine Grove’s quarterback Leininger threw for 105 yards on 6-of-15 passing. All six passes were caught by wideout Dawson Ibarra who finished the night with a game-high six grabs and 105 yards.

    For Line Mountain, Herb threw for 85 yards in the game, spreading the ball around to three different receivers. Adam Malafi led the Eagles in receiving yardage with three catches for 39 yards. Derk followed closely behind with two catches for 30 yards and a score, while Garret Laudenslager also contributed with three catches for 22 yards.

  • At Long Last, Northern Lebanon Tastes Sweet Victory As Vikings Stymie Pequea Valley For First Win Of The Season

    As hard as it may be to believe, last week in Pennsylvania high school football marked the midway checkpoint of the regular season. And as is the case each and every season when the temperatures start to drop, the action on the field only continues to heat up with teams from all around the commonwealth trying to chase those precious few playoff bids. In fact, Friday night around the Lancaster-Lebanon League was a prime example of that very fact. Across all three divisions, first place was on the line with Wilson battling Manheim Township in Section 1, Manheim Central and Cocalico renewing acquaintances in Section 2, and Lancaster Catholic matching wits with Annville-Cleona down in Section 3.

    So while there were clearly plenty of intriguing matchups of which to choose from, there were other equally big games on the docket. Case in point, Pequea Valley making the roughly 90 minute bus ride up to Lebanon County to tangle with Northern Lebanon in a game between two combatants eager to pick up a badly-needed and quite frankly, much-deserved win this season.

    Through the first five weeks of the season, it’s been fair to say that this year has taken on some uncharacteristic twists and turns for the proud Viking football program that resides in Fredericksburg. And in some cases, at no fault of their own.

    Coming off an unquestioned string of dominance that is best exemplified by three L-L League Section 3 titles in the last four seasons, an achievement that truly stands on its own merit, the Vikes entered Friday night’s contest with an 0-5 overall mark, including a 61-14 defeat at the hands of Ephrata earlier this season. A victory which oh by the way just so happened to end a 52 game winless drought for the Mounts, the state’s longest ongoing such streak at the time. However that game in and of itself illustrates just how rare this season has been for the Northern Lebanon Vikings.

    Originally scheduled to be played at the friendly confines of Northern Lebanon back on August 31st, heavy rains rolled through the central Pennsylvania area that afternoon prior to kickoff, ultimately forcing the field to be deemed unplayable and consequently shifting the contest to Ephrata’s turf field complex instead, coupled with an early morning Saturday wakeup call to add a little extra salt in the wound. However even with all the adversity placed in front of them that could easily derail most teams, the Vikings have remained undeterred through it all by continuing to show up and battle each and every week, including a hard-fought 19-14 contest against up-and-coming county rival ELCO last week, just seven days after falling to Annville-Cleona 62-13, serving as finite evidence.

    It just so happened that their opposition standing on the other sideline Friday evening also had a similar story to share.

    For Pequea Valley, it became obvious right from the jump that this season would be one that would test the Braves’ collective mettle. Already beset with the unfortunate fact of low numbersfrom which to work with, the Braves entered their season-opening game on the road at Kennard-Dale even further behind the proverbial 8-ball by not having the talents of junior quarterback John Smith who was sidelined with an injury.  And unfortunately for those that call Kinzers home, the Braves would ultimately fall to K-D that night by virtue of a 33-0 decision before going on to start the 2018 campaign with an identical 0-5 mark as well. However just like their counterparts on Friday night, Pequea Valley has also continued to navigate this season’s choppy waters by turning in their best performances to date the last two weeks, including a nip-and-tuck Brave Bowl 19-6 defeat to neighboring rival Octorara last time out.

    And so, with both teams clearly playing their best ball of the season and poised to come out on the other side of their early trials and tribulations, Pequea Valley and Northern Lebanon were prepared to get after one another with both teams chomping at the bit to finally quench that long-awaited thirst of victory for the first time in 2018.

    In many ways, you’d be hard-pressed to find a much better start to a game than the one authored by Northern Lebanon Friday night. Starting off at their own 32-yard line to begin the contest, the Vikes immediately went to work with a nice mix of run and pass to throw off the Pequea Valley defense. And when faced with their first tumultuous test of the evening in the form of a 3rd& 13 attempt, the NL offense was able to pass with flying colors as NL junior quarterback Ethan Borcky was able to roll right, eluding the oncoming Pequea Valley pursuit, before firing off a dart across the middle to Alex Folmer, as the junior duo helped move the chains in the Vikings’ favor as NL was able to cross the midfield stripe down to the Pequea Valley 42-yard line. As fate would have it, Northern Lebanon’s proficiency on third down throughout the entirety of their initial series would prove to be the catalyst behind their early success, perhaps none best exemplified than with the Vikings facing a 3rd & 10 from the PV 20-yard line. On the play, Northern Lebanon decided to get tricky with it, and reaped the successes in doing so, as Alex Folmer received the end-around handoff before racing 20-yards to the endzone with the pigskin in tow as the home-standing Vikings were able to draw first blood at 7-0, landing an absolutely emphatic first punch that gobbled up the first 5:52 of game time.

    Although Pequea Valley would show positive signs on their first possession of the game as well, the Braves’ early advance was ultimately put to a halt by NL junior linebacker Chase Bressler, who was able to stuff a PV 4th & 4 attempt at the Viking 28-yard line. However just like their opposition, Northern Lebanon would also fall victim to a turnover on downs on their ensuing possession, giving the ball back to the Pequea Valley offense just before the first quarter clock expired.

    But that wouldn’t exactly be the worst thing in the world.

    Playing with an already inspired effort to that point in the contest, the Viking defensive unit was able to rise up and contribute a little scoring of their own as a Spencer Linton interception was returned into a 78-yards Pick 6 as the senior defensive back was able to put the blue-clad Vikings up by a two touchdown advantage at 14-0 following the PAT with 10:49 left to play in the half.

    If you’re keeping tabs at home, that would make a Northern Lebanon touchdown scored thus far on offense and on defense. Well, naturally that would leave just one remaining phase of the game left to go right? Bingo.

    After Pequea Valley was forced into a punting situation following a failed 3rd & 13 attempt at their own 41-yard line, senior utility man Ethan Herb trotted out onto the muddy field awaiting the oncoming Brave punt. And after what started out looking like a fairly innocent punt return, instantly escalated into a 74-yard house call as Herb was able to stroll into the endzone around the left side following the superb job of his wall of blockers out in front, giving Northern Lebanon the suddenly commanding 20-0 cushion with 4:29 left in the opening half.

    Needless to say, staring at a three touchdown deficit all while hunting your first win of the season, isn’t likely to give teams the fuzziest of feelings. So needing a spark, any kind of spark in order to ignite the possibility of some late-half momentum, Pequea Valley would also turn to their special teams in order to get the job done.

    With Northern Lebanon having to punt the ball away deep in their own territory with the first half clock melting down, the Braves opted to go after the block rather than settling back into return formation. And it would soon prove to be a wise decision as PV interior lineman Sean Gray was able to push his way through the line of scrimmage, getting his big mitts up in the chilly autumn air and blocking the NL punt, allowing the Braves’ offensive unit to set up shop at the NL 15-yard line with two minutes and change left to tick off the first half clock.

    It certainly wouldn’t be easy, but the Braves were ultimately able to negotiate past the stingy Viking defense with a key 4th & 11 conversion that was hauled in by junior wide receiver Michael Finger by way of a nifty toe-drag at the NL 1-yard line. From there, quarterback John Smith was able to do the rest of the work as Smith’s 1-yard QB sneak on the very next play allowed the visitors from Kinzers to get on the board, making it a 20-6 affair with just 26 seconds left to expire following the botched 2pt conversion attempt before both squads would eventually retire to their respective dressing rooms with the 14 point bulge remaining intact.

    In a word, the second half of Friday night’s L-L Section 3 tilt between Pequea Valley and Northern Lebanon would appropriately defined by defense. In fact, just one first down from scrimmage was shared between the two teams in the third quarter of play. Yet for a 12 minute span that could certainly be described as nothing more than “ho-hum,” it was far from it.

    While first downs might have been hard to come by from either offense in the third period of play, Pequea Valley found themselves knocking on the door following gigantic takeaways deep inside NL territory on two separate occasions in the game’s third period following an interception by Michael Finger and a fumble recovery by Zach Shaw respectively. Yet even with their backs up against the wall, the Northern Lebanon defense refused to yield, closing the book on both sudden-change scenarios by forcing PV into 3 & outs both times.

    And so with no additional harm done on the scoreboard, the hometown Vikings were now just 12 minutes away from a feel-good victory.

    Once again however, the Viking defensive unit continued to reign supreme as the game’s final quarter began to take shape with Northern Lebanon being able to turn away any sort of offensive threat from PV as the game wound down, giving the Vikings their first win of the season by virtue of a 20-6 triumph over Pequea Valley.

    “The first win is always the hardest,” Northern Lebanon head coach Roy Wall admitted following his team’s first victorious postgame huddle since last season. “Our defense played outstanding. They were all over (Pequea Valley),” Wall went on to add. “Our kids deserved a shutout the way they played.”

    Perhaps the best news to come out of Friday night for the Viking faithful besides the obvious? This year’s squad may very well finally be hitting their stride as evidenced by last week’s battle against ELCO coupled with getting over the hump on Friday night. “Historically our teams have gotten better as the season wore on,” Coach Wall offered regarding the here and now while looking ahead. “We don’t peak early. We’re ready to go at the end.”

    “This was a good test for us,” said Wall. “We’re teaching them how to win. We have 11 new starters on offense and 9 on defense so we’re learning, but tonight was a step forward.”

     

    NEXT UP: With the first win of the season now under their belt, Northern Lebanon will take their show on the road next week with an extra bounce in their step as the Vikings make the trek down Route 343 into Lebanon city to tangle with Lebanon Cedars in a game between squads eager to officially go on a winning streak down the final furlong after Lebanon’s triumph over Columbia this weekend.  And while it remains to be seen just how next week and the weeks after that will ultimately play out, you’d be foolish to bet against a battle-tested program like Northern Lebanon that continues to remain laser-focused on the task at hand. “I want us to continue to compete,” the 8th year Viking head coach remarked on what he hopes to see out of his squad as the regular season continues on before adding succinctly, “We have not yet played a full 48 minute game.”

    For Pequea Valley, the road ahead certainly does not get any easier for the immediate future. After Friday night’s defeat at the hands of Northern Lebanon, the Braves will go back to the drawing board while preparing to do battle with an angry Annville-Cleona outfit that is sure to come blistering into Kinzers coming off a home loss this weekend to Lancaster Catholic in a battle that was for first place supremacy in L-L Section 3. Yet even though the task of finishing out this season may seem long and daunting for Pequea Valley, rest assured that the Braves will continue to tackle all obstacles and challenges put in their path with the same relentless, attacking spirit that has come to epitomize their program—-A program who’s latter days are sure to be much better than their former days.

  • Red Raiders show no mercy, run away from Eagles

    Tonight’s matchup between the Coatesville Red Raiders and Bishop Shanahan Eagles at Jack Mancini Field, was a mismatch in every way.

    With Octorara departed to the Lancaster-Lebanon League, and District 3,  Bishop Shanahan has become the lone 4A school, and the smallest school in either division of the Ches-Mont League. Coatesville is the largest school in the league based on enrollment.

    The size of both schools’ rosters and the gap in talent was also significant, as the 49-0 score indicated.  Coatesville showed why they are possibly the best team in District 1 (and the state). They piled on 428 yards of offense and 42 first half points. Despite the impressive offensive numbers Coatesville put up, the score could have been worse in their favor.  A holding penalty nullified a Coatesville touchdown on the opening kickoff.

    On Coatesville’s second possession of the game, Aaron Young bolted 55 yards to put the Red Raiders on the scoreboard. Junior quarterback Ricky Ortega was involved in the next five Coatesville touchdowns, a ten-yard run, two passes to Dapree Bryant (60 & 25 yards), a pass to Dymere Miller (26 yards), and an eight-yard pass to Bryant.  The 25-yard pass to Bryant was something off a highlight reel. It was a one-handed catch and he managed to keep his feet in bounds. It was impressive.

    The 42-0 advantage put the mercy rule in place, but Coatesville’s backups were able to add a touchdown in the third.

    Statistically, Ricky Ortega had his best game of the season tonight, throwing for 210 yards (with four touchdowns), rushing for 92 yards plus a score, before being removed at halftime. Aaron Young ran for 126 and a score. Top receiver Dapree Bryant had 139 yards and three scores on six catches.

    Based on what I saw tonight, I don’t see many teams beating Coatesville this season. The main thing they MUST clean up, is the penalties. Although the Red Raiders were penalized 13 times for 96 yards. Only two were remotely significant, the holding penalty that nullified a touchdown on the opening kickoff and an intentional grounding penalty on Ricky Ortega.

  • Cougars show no mercy despite slow start, down Cahillites

    In the final week of non league games, the Downingtown East Cougars defeated the Cahillites from Roman Catholic, 42-7 at Kottmeyer Stadium. The win kept Downingtown East undefeated at 3-0 on the season and their seventh straight win over the Cahillites.

    The Cougars’ special teams started the game off slowly and almost put them in a two score hole off the bat. Despite forcing a punt on Roman’s opening possession, Downingtown East fumbled the punt at their own 15 yard line.  It took the Cahillites one play to take a 7-0 lead, as Ivan Thorpe hauled in a 15-yard strike from Rhyme Robinson..

    Things went from bad to worse on the ensuing kickoff, as it was fumbled by the Cougars at their own 25.  Like they did the rest of the night, Downingtown East’s defense stiffened, and it led to Downingtown East finally getting on the board.  Following a punt on Downingtown East’s first possession, linebacker Connor Noble jumped a bubble screen and returned it 55 yards to cut the lead to 7-6.

    From there, it was Downingtown East’s defense smothering Roman, and capitalizing on field position due to short punts by the Cahillites.  Luke Davis scored on a quarterback sneak and on an option run (34 yards) to expand the lead to 20-7. Zach Hamilton scored from two yards out to push the lead to 27-7 at halftime.

    Coming out of half, Garvey Jonassaint scored untouched on a 24-yard screen pass from Luke Davis to swell the Cougar advantage to 34-7.  On their next possession, Davis hit Matt Harootunian from 20 yards out.  Garvey Jonassaint’s two-point conversion put the lead at 42-7, invoking the mercy rule.

    The mercy rule was not needed, however, as the game was ended with 2:37 left in the third quarter, on account of multiple lightning strikes in the area.

  • Frosh QB shines in Selinsgrove

    SELINSGROVE – They say a little luck can go a long way.

    Friday night in Selinsgrove luck went 47 yards to be exact.

    In the second quarter of a 0-0 ball game between Selinsgrove and Jersey Shore, Selinsgrove freshman quarterback Daniel Shoch dropped back on 3rddown and 28 yards to go and fired a ball down the left side of the field into double coverage.

    The pass was tipped by the Jersey Shore corner then tipped again into the air by the safety before falling into the hands of Selinsgrove receiver Josh Nylund for a 47-yard gain on a play that seemed to jolt the Selinsgrove offense into gear.

    “We caught a lucky bounce on that double deflection,” Selinsgrove coach Derek Hicks said of the play. “That seemed to kind of springboard the offense.  After that we started moving the chains.”

    “Nylund really had my back there.” Shoch added. “He made a great play on a badly thrown ball.”

    The play kept a drive alive that ended up netting the Seals their first points of the game. Four plays after the miraculous grab, Shoch connected with Benjamin Swineford for a 10-yard touchdown pass.

    “Danny Shoch is a freshman and he played lights-out tonight.” Hicks said. “I don’t know what he ended up throwing for but I’m very proud of his efforts tonight.”

    After that touchdown drive the Seals began marching down the field with ease, mainly via the aerial attack by the freshman QB Shoch.

    Shoch and the Seals scored 31 points in the second and third quarters combined to come away with a 31-10 victory over the visiting Jersey Shore Bulldogs.

    Shoch’s impressive night resulted in the freshman completing 23 of 30 passes for 288 yards and three touchdowns. The three scores came from three different Selinsgrove receivers.

    In all, Shoch connected with seven different receivers in the contest with Swineford leading all receivers with 100 yards on the nose, and Nylund following right behind with 99 receiving yards.

    Meanwhile the Jersey Shore offense was never able to gain any traction. Though multiple drives resulted in a few first downs, the Bulldogs were never quite able to finish off drives.

    “We were kind of playing a good field position game with them there.” Jersey Shore coach Tom Gravish said. “That one pass that glanced off of two of our players, we thought it was a pick for us… We always talk about how one play can spark a team and at that time we had several plays for loss against their offense. That one play gave them a lot of momentum.”

    The Bulldogs were able to get on the board late in the opening half on a drive that stalled out at the Selinsgrove 21-yard line. Senior kicker Cameron Griffin stepped in and delivered a beautiful 38-yard field goal that cut the Seals’ lead down to 10-3 with just 1:34 remaining in the half.

    The Bulldogs hoped that score would help the visitors maintain momentum into the second half of play, but the Seals had other plans.

    On the ensuing drive which started with just 1:24 left on the clock, Shoch led the Seals 76 yards in nine plays to put another touchdown on the board with three seconds remaining on the clock.

    “That drive right before the half there was something.” Gravish said “The quarterback did a nice job getting the ball out. We knew that they run a lot of routes at the chains. We coached it all week and he (Shoch) just kept converting.”

    “I told the guys going into half that you may not see a better two-minute drill than that in a long time.” added Hicks. “The guys executed it to perfection. For a freshman to come out and have the poise to take the team down the field that quick was super impressive.”

    “The two-minute drive was amazing,” added Shoch. “My teammates really had my back and the coaches were calling all the right plays.”

    On the drive, Shoch completed seven of eight passes and drew a crucial pass interference call early in the drive on a 2ndand 5. The touchdown drive game Selinsgrove a 17-3 advantage at the half.

    The Seals found the endzone twice more in the third quarter to open a 31-3 advantage and then drained the clock for the win.

    Jersey Shore was able to find pay dirt late in the fourth quarter to score its lone touchdown of the night.

    On a 1stand 10 from the Selinsgrove 26, Jersey Shore quarterback Tanner Lorson dropped back and hit Anthony Shaffer in the flat along the right sideline. Shaffer made some nifty moves and broke away from the Seals’ defense for a 26-yard catch-and-run score.

    “We’ll get back to the drawing board and tomorrow is a new day.” Coach Gravish said. “We’re trying to find our identity. We like our players and we’re going to get better. Hopefully we can get a win next week.”

    The Jersey Shore Bulldogs – who are perennial District 4 playoff contenders – fell to 0-2 to begin the season. Up next on the schedule for the Bulldogs will be a home game as the team plays host to Montoursville (2-0) at 7 p.m. Friday. The Warriors are coming off a 42-0 shutout victory over Hughesville and have outscored opponents by a tally of 93-6 in the first two weeks of the season.

    Selinsgrove improved to 1-1 on the season and travels to state powerhouse Southern Columbia (2-0) at 7 p.m. Friday. The Tigers defeated Mount Carmel 41-7 Friday night and have outscored opponents 97-13 in the first two games of the season.

    “I’m proud of our guys.  We started slow. Both defenses came out strong, but I think we did a good job tonight.” Hicks said.

  • Mifflinburg over Hughesville

    MIFFLINBURG – It has often been said that the best part about freshmen and sophomores is they become juniors and seniors, meaning experience matters. While playing several young players, Mifflinburg has taken its lumps over the last couple of seasons, going a combined 5-16 over the last two years.

    If Friday’s opener was any indication, that experience will begin paying off this season. Mifflinburg’s junior duo of Gary DeGroat and Rylee Stahl, who both have seen significant playing time and shown flashes during their first two years with the Wildcats, showed just how much practice and experience matters in Mifflinburg’s 2018 opener. DeGroat completed 20-of-33 passes for 174 and also ran for 93 yards on 12 carries, while Stahl caught eight of those passes for 119 yards and Mifflinburg’s defense stifled Hughesville, holding the Spartans to just 35 yards in the first half and 103 for the game, as Mifflinburg topped Hughesville 22-7 for their first win on opening night since 2011.

    “They’re a dynamic duo. They work hard all year long and they’re finally juniors and I’m just glad to see them connect like they did tonight,” said Mifflinburg coach Jason Dressler.

    Mifflinburg held Hughesville’s senior running back Jase Wright to just 19 yards rushing, and he was stopped for negative yardage on six of his 11 carries. He ran for 14 yards and a first down on Hughesville’s first offensive play of the game, but that would end up being the second-longest play from scrimmage on the night for the Spartans, who made just six first downs in the whole game

    “I’m very proud of our defense with how we handled a run-based team,” said Dressler. “They swarmed to the ball and we expect that. We challenge them to win the first downs and just pursue it and swarm the ball and our defense was very strong tonight.”

     

    “Mifflinburg did a great job shutting down our run game tonight. We have to do a better job coaching, we have to do a better job of blocking but that starts with the coaching staff coming together and putting these guys in better position to make plays,” said Hughesville coach Adam Gehr, who made his debut as the Spartans’ coach. “We are capable of so much more, though, and the kids believe that and we’re going to be just fine moving forward.”

    By contrast, Mifflinburg made six first downs on its first drive alone, which ended in a touchdown that would be the only scoring of the first half. Robert Foltz caught a five-yard touchdown pass from DeGroat to cap a 13-play, 79-yard drive for the Wildcats, which included five completions by DeGroat, as well as a 22-yard run for the junior signal-caller, and a pair of third down conversions.

    “Gary’s composure and leadership tonight was showing. He was really into the moment and into the game, coming up with ideas and being a coach on the field and talking with the coaches on the sideline about what needed to be done,” said Dressler. “That first drive coming out was critical in the game with setting the tone.

    Although Mifflinburg put together a 12-play drive and a nine-play drive in the second quarter, they were unable to score as the Hughesville defense forced a punt and stopped Mifflinburg on fourth down at the Hughesville 29.

    The Spartans stopped another Mifflinburg possession deep in its own territory when Dylon Pequinot intercepted a DeGroat pass at the Hughesville 5 with 7:32 remaining in the third quarter. Hughesville was unable to do anything with its next possession, however, and Mifflinburg retook possession with great field position at the Hughesville 35 after a punt.

    From there, DeGroat ripped off a 25-yard run and got an addition five yards on a facemask penalty, and two plays later, he punched it in himself from three yards out and following a two-point conversion, Mifflinburg led 15-0.

    “We told the kids two weeks ago that DeGroat was their best player and we didn’t want him to beat us but unfortunately he did tonight,” said Gehr. “He’s a great quarterback and I’m not sure we’ll see a better one the rest of the season. Otherwise I’m happy with the defense. They settled down after that first drive and we bent a lot but didn’t break. We’ll get better there and correct the mistakes.”

    Hughesville answered with a nice 35-yard kickoff return by Carter Marquardt, giving them possession at the Mifflinburg 41. Spartan quarterback Jacob Corson the completed his first pass of the game to Wright for 32 yards – the Spartans’ longest offensive play of the game – and two plays later found Colton Yocum in the end zone for an eight-yard reception to cut the lead to 15-7.

    Pequinot picked up another interception on Mifflinburg’s ensuing drive, but on Hughesville’s next possession, Corson was knocked out of the game, and the Spartans would only gain 16 yards for the remainder of the game.

     

    “I’m not sure of his status right now. We’re hoping to have him back next week but we won’t know until the prognosis comes back,” said Gehr.

    Mifflinburg put the game away midway through the fourth quarter on special teams. On a Hughesville punt from the 16, the snap went over Wright’s head and into the end zone. Wright was able to recover and get off the punt, but it went straight up and landed in the end zone, where John Raker fell on it for a Mifflinburg touchdown.
