2011 Small School Defensive Player of the Year: Brandon Smith, Lewisburg

On Thursday Lewisburg’s linebacker Brandon Smith was named to the Class AA All-State Football team. But before he even took a snap there was fear that he would be lost for the season due to a back injury. But he never missed a snap and played hurt all season. If you look up the word […]

The purple and gold have a message to headquarters: […]

Clairton wins third straight title

HERSHEY, Pa. – About an hour prior to kickoff, the hood of one of Southern’s school buses was raised briefly for what appeared to be some sort of engine inspection. And while Clairton’s offense was very much slowed by Southern’s grinding, ball-controling Wing-T offense, it didn’t take long for junior Tyler Boyd to rev his […]

PIAA “AAAA” state championship preview – Central Dauphin (14-1)

It’s been quite a while since District 3 sent a representative to the PIAA AAAA championship game. Try longer than a decade and a half. It’s actually the 20th season (if counting 1992 as the starting point) since Cumberland Valley hoisted District 3’s only PIAA AAAA championship.  Lower Dauphin was the last D3 AAAA title […]

PIAA “AAAA” state championship preview – North Penn (13-2)

District 1 used to be a frequent participant in PIAA championship games, making a total of 12 appearances from 1990 to 2004. But since 2004, D1 hasn’t sent a team on to compete for a state title in the state’s largest classification. District 11 took a stranglehold on PIAA final appearances before a two-year run […]

Archbishop Wood throttles McDevitt for first PIAA title

HERSHEY, Pa. – There have been some dominant teams who have been counted among the Class AAA ranks in PIAA history, including the 1992 Berwick Bulldogs and 2008 Thomas Jefferson Jaguars.

HERSHEY, Pa. – About an hour prior to kickoff, the hood of one of Southern’s school buses was raised briefly for what appeared to be some sort of engine inspection. And while Clairton’s offense was very much slowed by Southern’s grinding, ball-controling Wing-T offense, it didn’t take long for junior Tyler Boyd to rev his […]

PIAA “AA” state championship preview – Lancaster Catholic (15-0)

Prior to 2003, the Lancaster-Lebanon League could only claim a pair of PIAA finals appearances – Wilson-West Lawn in 1989 and Conestoga Valley in 1991. Neither trip ended well for the L-L League. The Bulldogs and Buckskins would lose their appearances by a combined 14 points. And so it stayed until 2003. But between 2003-’09, […]

That Championship Season?

That is the question for eight remaining teams that will invade Chocolate Town this weekend.

While nothing can match the hype of a championship game it […]

Central Bucks West roots

In the 90’s, Central Bucks West was “King” of Pennsylvannia high school football in Class 4A. Under coach Mike Pettine they won state titles in 1991, 1997, 1998 and 1999. They hold a Pennsylvania record of 59 straight wins. You can’t help but notice that Archbishop Wood and North Penn have a little Central Bucks […]

PIAA “A” state championship preview – Clairton (15-0)

It’s been a long, long time since the WPIAL has seen a team have a run of dominance like the Clairton Bears have had these last few years. And really, in some facets, Clairton’s dominance is unlike anything the WPIAL or state has ever seen. Clairton can add yet another notch in their caps to […]

PIAA “A” state championship preview – Southern Columbia (14-1)

When the state last saw Southern Columbia in Hershey, the Tigers were flying past District 10 champion West Middlesex to their PIAA-record fifth consecutive state championship, supplanting Berwick’s previous state standard of four straight titles from 1994-1997. At that point in time, the Tigers had the stranglehold on the state’s smallest classification; Steelton-Highspire hadn’t yet […]

PIAA “AA” state championship preview – Tyrone (14-1)

If anybody outside of northeastern Blair County had the Tyrone Golden Eagles reaching the PIAA championship game this year, please stand up and take a bow.

PIAA “AAA” state championship preview – Bishop McDevitt (13-2)

Last year at this time, we were talking about Bishop McDevitt as a “first-in-a-while” type of program, referencing its appearances in PIAA championship games. That same type of chatter can’t be applied this year, except when speaking in terms of hoisting PIAA gold. For just the third time in District 3’s PIAA finals history, a […]

PIAA “AAA” state championship preview – Archbishop Wood (13-1)

Skipping the Beaver Stadium Sidelines

By BILL ALBRIGHT WesternPAFootball.net Writer STATE COLLEGE — Saturday’s Penn State game with Iowa had just about everything.

Southern Nips Lewisburg in Final Minute

LEWISBURG, PA: If this game of high school football was not a barn-burner, then you’ll likely never see one.

Towanda Takes Advantage

BLOSSBURG, PA: After four straight losses to the Black Knights of Towanda, this looked like it could be the year that the Panthers of North Penn got the monkey off their backs.

Delco Christian vs. Bristol

Delco Christian came into this game with high expectations and wa on the same power trip that Calvary was against them the week prior. Enter Bristol.

Tigers Maul the Indians

KEMP MEMORIAL STADIUM: After flood waters ravaged much of the Susquehanna Valley and its tributaries, including areas like Catawissa, Elysburg and Shamokin, things were looking much more back-to-normal on Saturday night.

Dunmore Stays Unbeaten

Originally scheduled for Friday, Dunmore welcomed the Invaders of West Scranton to Bucks Stadium tonight.

The Invaders were led by the legs and hands of senior Malcolm Sweeting. Number 1 […]

Delco Christian: A Knight to Remember

To say that most people came into tonight’s DC v Calvary game expecting the end result to happen would be a lie. However, just like last week against the Drakes, DC made the argument that they were the new powerhouse in the BAL. In the battle of the best Calvary entering number 1 in division […]

Harding does it again

Harding does it again BETHLEHEM – For a second straight week, Nazareth Area found their team down in the second half and again it was Dan Harding who engineered a comeback.

Father Judge scores 28 of game’s final 31 points to down State College

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. – The Father Judge Crusader team gathered in a cluster on the visiting sideline and heartily sang their school fight song, “Here’s to our Crusaders.” Early on, the Philadelphia Catholic League reps didn’t have much to sing a jaunty tune about.  A slew of flags and inopportune turnovers dug a quick hole.  […]

Halifax vs Upper Dauphin

Even though some laugh at the big deal high school football is made out to be, tonight’s game could have inspired even the most naive football fan.  It was a thrilling and motivating skirmish, with both teams surging forward, creating a momentum and motivation only playing the game can actually fashion. In the beginning, things […]

Valley West Zooms Past the Comets

The Abington Heights Comets had won fifteen consecutive regular season games coming into this season.

Delco Christian: My Job Just Got Really Hard

Delco traveled to Jenkintown PA today to play a game against the Drakes. And what a game we had. After a quarter and a half it looked like Delco was on the brink of making their first game, and their first BAL contest a runaway. However, led by the defense of  Blaise Coggin who had […]

Judge is not used to seeing […]

Mistakes loom large as Wood blanks West Catholic

WARMINSTER, Pa. – West Catholic’s game plan against Archbishop Wood was rather simple.  Run the ball, control the clock and keep Wood’s explosive offensive unit watching helplessly from the sideline. West did the run the ball – 47 times to be exact – and limited the Vikings to only 38 total offensive plays.  But Wood […]

Bergen Catholic’s speed too much for La Salle

PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa. – Behind the area on the sidelines where the La Salle College High School football team stood, a weathered penny lie buried into the artificial surface, with the heads side facing upward. Supposedly, pennies facing heads side up bring good luck.  But fate was not ready to yield the Explorers a lucky […]

Halifax vs Steelton

Although the outcome of tonight’s game was unlike the predicted 14-12 for the Halifax Football team, it was an impressive display of talent and diligence.  Coming out of a disappointing season last year (3-7), this team is starting a new chapter.  Tonight, at Steelton, Halifax proved that they have skill and they’re determined to prove […]

Team #1 West Catholic (12) 0-0

Is a fifth straight season of 11+ victories and 440+ points scored in order for this Philadelphia small school powerhouse?  Probably.  West Catholic’s last four seasons have ended with totals of 11, 14, 12 and 13 wins and 444, 775, 477 and 548 points, respectively.  Dominant stuff, for sure.  Not to mention the fact the […]

Team # 1 Allentown Central Catholic (11) 0-0

There’s been a lot of focus this off-season about what Allentown Central Catholic lost from its PIAA AAA championship team of one season ago, namely the bulk of the offensive line.  Sure, without a good line, skill is negated, but word has it that the Vikings have reloaded up front around the centerpiece of returning […]

Team # 2 Lancaster Catholic (3) 0-0

District 3’s equivalent of the “Purple People Eaters” (82-11 overall since the start of the 2004 season) was rolling along and pillaging the opposition until those pesky Wyomissing Spartans pulled a shocking 21-14 upset on the Crusaders in the District 3 AA semifinals.

Team # 4 North Schuylkill (11) 0-0

Consecutive seasons of 13-1 and 11-1 have landed North Schuylkill on many radars in the eastern half of the state, but those numbers are made possible by the fact that the Spartans have one of District 11’s best statistical defensive units.  Including a forfeit victory over Freedom Village, N.Y., NS notched eight shutouts in 2010 […]

Team # 4 North Penn (1) 0-0

Team # 7 Pius X (11) 0-0

Traditionally, the Royals have always given teams fits with their spread offensive attack.  That proved to be the case last year as Pius X ripped off eight consecutive victories and reached the District 11 A championship game opposite Schuylkill Haven with a unit that averaged 397.5 yards (237.7 pass, 159.8 rush) and 41 points per […]

Team # 7 Bethlehem Liberty (11) 0-0

Team # 8 Downingtown East (1) 0-0

Team # 9 Northern Lehigh (11) 0-0

Northern Lehigh was very dominant on offense last year, running and running and running and running some more on the way to more than 4,300 yards on the ground and the school’s third District 11 AA championship since 1999.

Team # 10 Council Rock South (1) 0-0

The Golden Hawks roared onto the radar last season with a punishing triple-option offensive attack and a staunch defense which was barely bent, that is, until Abington hung a 45-spot in Week 9, Council Rock North dented the unit for 25 points one week later, Central Bucks West scored 41 points in the District 1 […]

Team # 10 Wilkes-Barre GAR (2) 0-0

It watched as Lancaster-Lebanon League representatives Manheim Central and Lancaster Catholic reached the state finals last year, finishing 1-1. It […]

North Allegheny….

PIAA AAAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP PREVIEW – North Allegheny (14-1) It only took six years, but North Allegheny head coach Art Walker is back on the PIAA’s biggest stage – the AAAA state championship game. Take a jog down memory lane, if you will, to the 2003 and 2004 PIAA finals when Walker guided Pittsburgh Central […]

Allentown Central Catholic….

PIAA AAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP PREVIEW – Allentown Central Catholic (15-0) Isn’t it fun sometimes to turn on a football video game, say maybe NCAA ’10, and play an entire season with a juggernaut football team just to see what stats and numbers you can pile up? But the difference is, that’s a video game. The […]

LaSalle College High School….

PIAA AAAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP PREVIEW – LaSalle College High School (13-1) Championship teams don’t rebuild. They reload. Many apologies from this writer for beginning with an old and tired sports cliche, but for this edition of the LaSalle College High School Explorers, it is a fairly appropriate statement. After the Explorers claimed the Philadelphia Catholic […]

Taylor-Riverside….

PIAA A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP PREVIEW – Taylor-Riverside (14-1) What seemed to happen with constant regularity once is now something to be treasured. From 1988 until 1997, it seemed that District 2 was a regular participant in PIAA championship games, making 13 appearances in that span and winning 10 titles. But suddenly, those District 2 appearances […]

West Catholic….

PIAA AA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP PREVIEW – West Catholic (12-2) Heartbreak. That could best describe West Catholic’s first experience in the PIAA finals two years ago. The Burrs had it all – a record-setting scoring machine, a trio of 1,000-yard rushers, a quarterback heading to Penn State, a sizeable offensive line, and plenty of speed to […]

South Fayette….

PIAA AA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP PREVIEW – South Fayette (15-0) For the second consecutive year, a football team led by a record-setting quarterback has found its way to the PIAA AA championship game. Last year, it was Kyle Smith (now at Central Michigan) and his more than 8,500 career passing yards and 118 touchdowns gracing Hershey’s […]

Clairton….

PIAA A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP PREVIEW – Clairton (15-0) It may be official. In fact, it is official. The supply of superlatives to describe what the Clairton Bears’ defense (including both first string and reserves) has accomplished these last trio of years is running lower than the supply of ice in the Arctic. They’ve put up […]

Shamrocks’ 12-game win streak ends with loss to Lewisburg

Good luck to all teams!!

The high school football season starts today!! I love football. For it is truly the sport closest to combat. Men strategize in their war room, don their armor, and line up against their opponent.

Team #2 North Penn (1) 0-0

Before the Ridley Green Raiders felled North Penn in the District 1 AAAA title game, the Knights were ranked 11th in the nation by the USA-Today.   The Knights finished 13-1 overall, but have to find a replacement for reliable senior field general Todd Smolinsky (1,600+ passing yards).  RBs Craig Needhammer and Brandon Mercer return, as […]

Team #3 Southern Columbia (4) 0-0

After a “down” year of 9-5 and yet another District 4 Class A championship, here are the Tigers, poised to jump back up on top in the state’s smallest classification.  The 5-loss season for Southern was the first since the late 1980s.  Southern returns a plethora of athletes from its 2009 team which was eliminated […]

Team #3 Bishop McDevitt (3) 0-0

The Crusaders are very highly regarded in the AAA classification this year, and many feel Bishop McDevitt is the top team in the state in this classification.  With Bowling Green commit Matt Johnson (4,984 career passing yards, 59 TD) and Pitt commit Jameel Poteat (3,114 career rush yards, 45 TD), it would be easy to […]

Team #4 LaSalle (12) 0-0

The Explorers tied the school record for victories last season en route to claiming the Philadelphia Catholic League’s first PIAA football championship , but the blue and gold took a huge hit with graduation.  Only two returning offensive and defensive linemen (Ryan Geiger and Cameron Cappo) return, and Villanova commit Jamal Abdur-Rahman (1,198 rush yards) […]

Team #5 North Schuylkill (11) 0-0

Team #5 Archbishop Wood (12) 0-0

Team #6 Loyalsock Township (4) 0-0

In the last three seasons, the Lancers have posted an overall record of 30-11 and have claimed some type of hardware each year.  Loyalsock Township won District 4 AA titles in 2007 and 2009 and claimed the 2008 Eastern Conference AA title.  Yet it seems like the maroon and white are somewhat still flying under […]

Team #7 Northern Lehigh (11) 0-0

The Bulldogs finished 10-3 a season ago, falling in the District 11 AA championship game to North Schuylkill.  The purple and white have some nice components from that district runner-up team from a year ago, including a key off-season acquisition in assistant coach Jim Tkach, who is back wearing the Bulldog team colors after leading […]

Team #7 Downingtown East (1) 0-0

The Cougars could be one of the most explosive offensive units in District 1 this season, as three main offensive weapons return to Exton.  QB Trey Lauletta (1,917 yards passing, 18 TD) averaged more than 150 passing yards per game last season, and Rutgers-bound TE Tyler Kroft (36 rec., 667 yards, 8 TD) was one […]

Team #8 Steelton-Highspire (3) 0-0

The Rollers lived up to their nickname (in full, it is “Steamrollers”) in 2007 and 2008 with RB Jeremiah Young and an offensive line that simply flattened people en route to consecutive PIAA championships.  Now, the Rollers are going back to their roots – simply shooting past people with a high octane spread offense.  In […]

Team #8 Allentown Central Catholic (11) 0-0

The Vikings reached the PIAA AAA playoffs last year, hanging with powerful Selinsgrove for a half before falling, 31-10.  But the Vikings are primed for yet another deep playoff run, even with the loss of defensive stalwart Connor Faust for the entire season.  Junior QB Brandon Nosovitch (2,078 passing yards, 1,163 rush yards, 41 total […]
