  • Cougars Mauled By Mariners

    Cougars Mauled By Mariners

    Tonight, the Cougars from Downingtown East dropped their second straight game to start the 2024 season. This week they were defeated 31-2 by the Tom’s River North Mariners.

    The Cougars are young this season, replacing ten starters on offense and ten starters on defense from last year’s 12-1 team that advanced to the District 1 6A semifinals. Early on, their lack of experience showed, as the Mariners scored at will.

    The first half was the TJ Valero show, as he accounted for all three first-quarter touchdowns, a 15-yard run on their first possession, a 26-yard pass to Mekhi Morse, and a 30-yard pass to Cam Thomas, which put Tom’s River North up 21-0.

    Nasiah Cormin tacked on a 23-yard field goal for the Mariners’ 24-0 halftime advantage. TJ Valerio put the Mariners up 31-0 on a 39-yard pass to Malachi Ford. TJ Valerio accounted for 375 (272 passes, 103 rush) of the Marniers’ 402 yards

    The Cougars prevented a shutout when they tackled the punter in the end zone for a safety.

    Downingtown East’s punishing running game was non-existent, managing only 83 yards.

  • Manheim Central wins a thriller over Smyrna, 37-36, thanks to Aaron Enterline’s heroics

    Manheim Central wins a thriller over Smyrna, 37-36, thanks to Aaron Enterline’s heroics

    WILMINGTON, DEL — Aaron Enterline was blinking as if someone flashed a bright light into his eyes. When the gangly, Manheim Central senior wide receiver thought about it, he found it a little hard to believe when the improbable scenario was repeated to him.

    With 18 seconds left, with his starting quarterback out after a late hit, with his team trailing by five, on a fourth-and-10, and 38 yards away from victory, Enterline was depending on a sophomore backup quarterback throwing his first varsity pass.

    Enterline knew he caught it. He just could not feel the ball in his hands his body was so numb.

    Somehow, Enterline outreached three defenders for an arcing moon ball, then whirled around to run the remaining 11 yards untouched for the game-winning touchdown in the Barons’ thrilling 37-36 win over Smyrna (Del.) on Friday afternoon in the inaugural Mid-Atlantic Pigskin Classic football showcase at Salesianum School’s Abessinio Stadium, in Wilmington, Delaware.

    “When I went up, I knew I was going to catch it, but I kind of went numb,” recalled Enterline, who is getting PSAC’s attention along with a spattering of D-I looks. “I didn’t feel the ball in my hands. This shows we can fight back. We started fast, and then we got into our own heads. We let them take the lead when we were up by 21.

    “We have good teams on our schedule and this is really going to help us.”

    At the outset, Manheim looked like it would blow out Smyrna, the defending Delaware Class 3A state champions. The Barons got out to a 21-0 lead, scoring twice in the first quarter on a Zac Hahn three-yard run, followed by Hahn’s 16-yard TD toss to Enterline with 4:12 left in the opening quarter.

    At the time, anything the Barons wanted to do, they did.

    Smyrna, however, was not exactly ready to quit. The Eagles began moving the ball behind the combination of quarterback Drew Marks and running back Dior Mackey. The Barons (2-0) did not seem to have an answer to the Smyrna duo, who stung Manheim for their two scores of the first half, one on a 75-yard touchdown connection, and the other on a 14-yard TD pass with :14 left in the first half.

    By intermission, what looked like a blowout was taking on the form of a competitive game.

    It morphed into more than that.

    Smyrna, with its crazy wildcat formations, and earthquake plays, makes huge last-second personnel changes to confuse the defense, scratched back. The Eagles scored twice in the fourth quarter, taking their first lead in the game, 36-31, with 3:06 to play.

    “We lost our composure when we got ahead and they started jawing,” Manheim Central coach Dave Hahn said. “We didn’t play our game then. That’s not our thing. We don’t jaw. We play our game, play fast and we play physically. That hurt us.”

    It also set the stage for Enterline’s heroics.

    The Barons drove back, with some help from a late-hit call with 1:08 left. That placed the ball at the Smyrna 38. After a nine-yard completion, Zac Hahn was nailed for a nine-yard sack. Faced with a third-and-10 at the 38, Hahn threw an incompletion and appeared to be hit late. More significantly, he rose off the turf slowly, suffering a wrist injury after getting plowed into the ground.

    Dave Hahn had no other choice than to throw in sophomore Ray Lewis, who never threw a pass in a varsity game. Dave Hahn gave Lewis one simple direction: Throw it as high as he could look for Enterline and take it from there.

    It worked to perfection.

    “That was it, I told Ray to just put it up and let Ray highpoint it,” Dave Hahn said. “It was a great play, and I do not want to take anything away from Ray, but Aaron made that play.

    “What we take from this is that we are a pretty good team if we maintain our composure. If we stick to our game plan and play our football, we’re pretty tough to beat. I found out this team has some fight in them. When they went up on us, these guys could have packed it in. We kept fighting. We needed to see that.”

  • IMG escapes St. Joe Prep’s late push in 17-14 victory in the Battle at the Beach

    IMG escapes St. Joe Prep’s late push in 17-14 victory in the Battle at the Beach

    Anthony Sacca (39) & Alex Haskell (95)

    OCEAN CITY, NJ — IMG head coach Billy Miller is very familiar with the Sacca family. The South Jersey native who graduated from Delran High School lived close to Tony Sacca, the Delran legend who went on to play for Penn State. Sacca’s mother was Miller’s middle school math teacher.

    In some ways, Saturday night brought Miller back to the ghosts of the Sacca football family’s exploits.

    Tony’s son, Anthony, St. Joe Prep’s 6-foot-4, 220-pound junior linebacker, caused nightmares the entire night for Miller and IMG before the Ascenders managed to escape with a 17-14 victory in the season-opening game for both teams before over 7,000 at the Battle of the Beach at Ocean City High School.

    Sacca’s 10-yard touchdown off a fumble recovery in the fourth quarter turned what seemed to be an easy victory for national powerhouse IMG into a slugfest.

    “Anthony is a heck of a player and I was happy to come out here with a win tonight,” said Miller, a 2003 Delran graduate. “Those guys are well-coached. We knew it was going to be a physical game and it was. They did a good job, and it was a competitive game. I hope we can play more games against them in the future.”

    Prep struggled offensively the entire game. The Hawks managed one first down in the second half and could not generate any cohesion. It also did not bode well that St. Joe’s Prep was stung by eight penalties for 94 yards. For the game, Prep totaled a highly uncharacteristic 113 yards of total offense—and just 14 yards of offense in the second half.

    “What I take from this is the need to give ourselves better opportunities to win,” Hawks’ coach Tim Roken said. “We missed a couple of them. Our defense kept us in the game. Offensively, we were able to move the sticks at times, but there are things we need to fix in all three phases.”

    The defense does not seem to need too much tinkering. If the Hawks can play the way it did defensively against IMG on Saturday night, no team in Pennsylvania will score on them this season.

    Besides Anthony Sacca, sophomore defensive lineman Alex Haskell was a wrecking machine. In his first varsity start his strip sack created the opportunity for Sacca’s scoop-and-score. Haskell, at 6-5, 250, created problems for the IMG offensive line, and his read on a third down play early in the fourth quarter gave Prep the boost it needed.

    “That was the most nervous I’ve ever been in a locker room before a game,” Haskell admitted. “IMG showed me they had a great first step, but they did not play through the whistle. I knew their right guard was their weakest link, and I was going to come under him and attack the quarterback.”

    Haskell got the wind knocked out of him on the Sacca touchdown and did not even know he scored until a few minutes later.

    “This is a team loss, we didn’t execute well, and I remember I didn’t play well against IMG last year,” Anthony Sacca said. “This is my first game at linebacker. It was different. Less pass responsibility, and I was able to play faster. We needed a third linebacker and I thought I did okay.

    “On the touchdown, I didn’t know what happened. I saw two guys collide on the quarterback and the ball came loose. I just reacted and got the football. But overall, we have to turn the page on this and get back to work next week. I have a feeling (IMG) coach Miller knows who I am a little bit now (laughs).”

    The teams played to a standstill in the first quarter. Neither team could do anything offensively.

    Early in the second quarter, Prep appeared to get a break. In a bold move by Miller, IMG went for it on fourth-and-one at the IMG 23 but was halted by the Hawks inches short.

    The first game-changing play occurred right after the Hawks thought they got a break. Prep ran a reverse that was botched when quarterback Samaj Jones tried flicking the ball high back to Kahseim Phillips, who could not handle it and IMG fell on it at its 41.

    That set up IMG’s first score.

    After playing brilliantly for the first 15 minutes of the game, the Hawks’ defense made one mistake. After closing on IMG running back Jerrick Gibson, IMG quarterback Jayden Bradford pulled off some trickery, swaying the Prep defense left in Gibson’s direction, while he took off right untouched 51 yards for the first score of the game with 9:07 left in the half.

    IMG’s Patrick Kane thumped a 21-yard field goal to conclude the half, giving IMG a 10-0 lead.

    The Prep’s offense first-half offensive woes were a precursor for what was to come. The Hawks turned the ball over twice, produced 99 yards of total offense, and averaged 3.4 yards a play.

    Prep’s defense, meanwhile, was suffocating the first 24 minutes. Hawks’ defensive coordinator Shawn Stratz dialed up great rush packages that had IMG confused throughout much of the half. The Hawks kept IMG to 149 yards of total offense, though held IMG to 74 yards rushing—most of which came on the Bradford breakdown.

    The other significant IMG play came on a 32-yard completion in the last minute of the half, setting up Kane’s field goal.

    Prep’s biggest impact came from the defensive line of Haskell, Max Roy, Sean McNulty, and Ivan Bailey-Greene, its linebackers Nick McGlynn, Cameron Smith and Sacca, and cornerback Omillio Agard.

    They were all over the field.

    On IMG’s first possession of the second half, Bradford found Donovan Olugbode for a 45-yard touchdown pass with 9:56 left in the third quarter.

    What changed everything for Prep came from nowhere. Prep junior receiver Rameir Hardy gave the Hawks some hope. On the last play of the third quarter, senior Erik Sanchez came slicing through to block an Ascenders’ punt, and Hardy was there to pick up the loose ball at the 32 for Prep’s first score of the game.

    And just when it seemed the Ascenders would bounce back, Prep once again came up with a huge play, on Haskell’s strip sack and Sacca’s 10-yard score with 10:39 to play. The seemingly dead Hawks pulled to within 17-14.

    With 7:14 remaining, Prep could not move the ball again. IMG, especially defensive tackle David Stone, clamped down on the Hawks and stopped them with 3:39 to play at the Prep 45. From there, the Ascenders ran out the clock, with the help of a late defensive holding call in the end zone.

    “We’re going to be okay,” Sacca said. “You learn from this and move on.”

    St. Joe’s Prep will learn, and IMG will be happy to escape moving forward.

    Scoring Summary

    St. Joseph’s Prep (0-1) 0 0 7 7-14

    IMG Academy (1-0) 0 10 7 0-17

  • Samaj Jones shatters the St. Joe’s Prep record book in the Hawks’ 55-20 victory over St. Peter’s Prep

    Samaj Jones shatters the St. Joe’s Prep record book in the Hawks’ 55-20 victory over St. Peter’s Prep

     

    PISCATAWAY, NJ — Samaj Jones stood at midfield with the game ball tucked under his magic right arm, holding his helmet in his left hand like he was coming off a construction site. When he first heard, he blinked in disbelief. The St. Joe’s Prep junior quarterback knew he broke some kind of record. What record exactly, he had no idea. He had to hear it again to make certain: He became the first quarterback in St. Joe’s Prep history to throw for over 400 yards and seven touchdowns in a game.

    Jones completed 11 of 13 passes for 420 yards and seven touchdowns, and was responsible for eight total touchdowns, in the Hawks’ 55-20 thumping of St. Peter’s Prep (NJ) on Saturday night in the Rumble on the Raritan at Rutgers’ SHI Stadium.

    Frank Costa, the former Prep star of the late-1980s who went on to play for Miami, held the previous single-game passing record of 370 yards, against Cardinal O’Hara in 1989, and another Hawks’ stalwart, Kyle McCord, owns the other Prep 300-plus yard passing games, which he did four times.

    But no one, not even former NFL MVP Rich Gannon, a 1983 Prep grad, threw for over 400 yards in a St. Joe’s Prep uniform—before Jones erupted.

    Jones threw touchdown passes of 72, 28, 42, 62, 15, 75, and 40 yards. He also added a second-quarter, 7-yard scoring run.

    “In the beginning, I knew we were rolling and we take every game the same, we come out 0-0,” said Jones, whose previous best was 199 yards passing last season in the Hawks’ season opener against St. Mary’s Ryken (Md). “Our o-line blocked really well, our receivers caught the ball very well, and our running backs hit the holes as hard as they could, and that opened up every passing lane we had.

    “There was a lot of growth from last season. I’ll admit it, I saw a lot of ghosts last year. I’m more relaxed and I’m more comfortable.”

    The other interesting point is that Jones owned the single-game school passing record by halftime, completing 10 of 12 for 380 yards and six TDs.

    “It felt natural,” Jones said. “I can’t believe it. I still can’t believe it. I’d like to say this is definitely the beginning. I can’t be more grateful. Our line opened things up and our running backs ran hard.

    “I hear the noise. Every day, every practice I carry a chip on my shoulder. I hear what everyone says about me. It just makes me want to work harder. I hear everything. I won’t stand here and say I don’t. It makes me work harder.”

    Hawks’ junior receiver Elijah Jones, no relation to Samaj, also had a huge game, too, catching a career-best three touchdowns for a career-best 132 yards, with TD receptions of 28, 42, and 62 yards.

    “I never had three touchdowns in a game before, and I know I never caught for over 100 yards before. Our offensive line gave Samaj protection and Samaj saw the field,” Elijah Jones said. “Maj is a different quarterback. He’s a dual threat who can run, throw and he can even leap over people.”

    The game was over in the first quarter. It looked like a shootout early on, when Samaj Jones hit Brandon Rehmann with a 72-yard TD on a short route, which the St. Peter’s defender whiffed on. The Marauders responded by scoring on their first play, making it 7-7.

    Then it was all Prep.

    The Hawks scored on their next six drives, closing out the half with a commanding 49-13 lead, which jumpstarted the mercy rule for the remainder of the game.

    “We had some challenges this week and the message was to respond (after the 48-37 loss to St. Thomas Aquinas, in Ft. Lauderdale, Fl. last week),” Hawks’ coach Tim Roken said. “Adversity struck. We responded last week during the game, but we didn’t finish the way we wanted to finish. Then, we responded to the adversity of taking the loss.

    “We put it together and that set us up for success. We’ve had some unbelievable players in my time here, and in St. Joe’s Prep history. Samaj is here, and this group is here, because of who came before them. It’s on them to continue the tradition. Samaj has grown up so much from last year. He has great talent around him, and he has great coaches to put him in a position to succeed, but he ultimately has to make great decisions and he did that tonight.”

    And made history for a program rich in history.

    Last Saturday, Samaj Jones made ESPN’s SportsCenter as the No. 6 Play of the Day, leaping over a St. Thomas Aquinas’ defender to score a touchdown. This Saturday, he threw for a St. Joe’s Prep single-game school record 420 yards and seven touchdowns.

    What will he do next?

  • St. Joe Prep’s comeback falls short in a 48-37 season-opening setback to St. Thomas Aquinas in Florida

    St. Joe Prep’s comeback falls short in a 48-37 season-opening setback to St. Thomas Aquinas in Florida

    It could have been worse. Much worse. Still, the St. Joseph’s Prep football team doesn’t look at it that way. The Hawks, six-time PIAA large school state champions, never have. They play in the real world to win, with no moral victory barometer attached.

    Nationally ranked St. Thomas Aquinas, from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, looked like it was going to run away and hide from the Hawks on Saturday at Brian Piccolo Stadium under the Hawks’ deluge of blown assignments, missed tackles, and reaching for air too many times.

    Despite all of that, Prep was in the game until late in the fourth quarter, when a Raiders’ score sealed a 48-37 victory in the season opener.

    Hawks’ junior quarterback Samaj Jones looked brilliant. He ran for two touchdowns and threw for another, turning what had started as a slow day into a serious threat for an Aquinas program ranked No. 5 nationally by MaxPreps and No. 9 by High School Football America.

    Regardless of the myriad mistakes, Hawks’ coach Tim Roken was not about to hear how his team stayed with one of the country’s top teams.

    The Hawks went down to Ft. Lauderdale to win; not get a tan and wiggle their toes in the sand.

    “I’m happy with the way our guys competed,” Roken said. “That’s all we ask of them, to give us a great effort. The scoreboard didn’t end up the way we wanted it to, but you learn by the experience. We’ll go back over as a staff and watch the film, find the mistakes and work on ways to get better.

    “But you can’t put a price on experience and how we responded. The adversity was awesome and it wasn’t the way we wanted, but we are happy the way our guys competed.”

    This does need to be said: Prep played the game without their top two defensive players, national-level defensive back Omillio Agard, who did not suit up due to a lower-body injury, and West Virginia-bound linebacker Josiah Trotter, who played the first series and was on crutches by the second quarter.

    Aquinas scored on its first three drives, resulting in a Jordan Lyle 15-yard run in which he bounced off several Prep defenders to get into the end zone, tight end Tekai Kirby running wide open down the field with a 59-yard TD pass from quarterback Hezekiah “Champ” Harris, and Gemari Sands’ 15-yard TD reception, in which he broke four tackles, including running free from Hawks’ stalwart safety Anthony Sacca with :33 seconds left in the first quarter.

    By then, the Raiders held a 21-7 lead, Harris was 6-for-6, for 153 yards passing and two touchdowns, while needing nine plays to score three times.

    The Raiders weren’t just open. They were wide open.

    But something changed.

    Even without its defensive leader, Trotter, the Hawks’ defense, especially Sacca, and Air Force-bound linebacker Cole Nilles, began making an impact.

    Sacca had an interception, forced one fumble, and recovered another. Nilles forced a fumble and was all over the field.

    The Hawks wound up forcing three turnovers, which they converted into 17 points, including Jones’ 22-yard TD pass to Brandon Rehmann with 7:18 left in the third quarter giving Prep its only lead of the game, 31-28, outscoring Aquinas 24-7 after being down 14 in the first quarter.

    Jones settled down and the Hawks’ coaching staff made great adjustments, taking advantage of Aquinas’ aggressiveness with screens and short passes while running junior Khaseem Phillips through the tackles for large gains and Jones on quarterback draws.

    “I think we learned a lesson here, and we’ll see that when we go back and watch the film,” Jones said. “It didn’t start well, starting 21-7. What we practice for is overcoming adversity.”

    Jones’ 17-yard, second-quarter scoring run on a quarterback draw up the middle was highlighted by a leaping touchdown in which he hurdled a defender at the goal line (it was SportsCenter Top 10 plays of the day worthy).

    Aquinas, considered an “NFL factory,” with notable graduates including NFL Hall of Famer Michael Irvin, Joey, and Nick Bosa and where the legendary Brian Piccolo went, began whittling down Prep’s defensive front.

    On fourth down and what had been a great goal-line stand by the Hawks, Sands finally bulled into the end zone from two yards out with 3:57 left, giving the Raiders a 42-31 lead.

    Prep responded with a Jones-to-David Washington 8-yard TD with 2:29 left. From there, Aquinas pounded the clock and finally pinned the Hawks at their eight-yard line with 37 seconds left. The Raiders scored a cosmetic last-second TD when Nick Rodriguez scooped up an errant lateral on the last play for an 18-yard fumble return.

    “I think we gained experience from this, playing one of the best teams in the country and giving our guys an opportunity,” Roken said. “We have to go back and watch the film and correct mistakes. What it comes down to is putting our guys in the best position to be successful and we have to finish.”

  • Neshaminy pushes back in season-opening 21-0 victory at Ocean City

    Neshaminy pushes back in season-opening 21-0 victory at Ocean City

    It came a little tough for Jack Dunkley and Kyle Cunningham. The senior Neshaminy offensive linemen got a little tired of being pushed around last year. And Neshaminy was pushed around a lot. It finished 2-8 last season with a young team that matured through trial-and-error.

    The goal this year is to shove back.

    It’s Dunkley, Cunningham, and fellow linemen Charles Soska, Jack Castagna Robbie Haines, Joey Zack, and Nick Buchys did Friday night to Ocean City (NJ), the host school for the Battle of the Beach, at Carey Stadium in Ocean City, New Jersey.

    Neshaminy achieved half of last year’s victory total with a season-opening 21-0 whitewash of Ocean City, behind the sterling performance of its offensive line and hard running of senior tailback Markus Barnett, who rushed for 274 yards on 28 carries, including scoring runs of eight and 18 yards.

    “Markus started every game on defense for us last year and we saw some talent at the running back position and the defensive coaches all agreed that for this coming season, he was going to be our running back and take him off the defense,” Neshaminy coach Steve Wilmot said. “We saw he had talent and he really displayed it today. Our offensive line was a big part of that.

    “Our tight ends are a big part of our run game, too. Almost every person on our line got to experience it last year. We had a down year and we had to play a lot of kids. We had a great offseason, too. We had a great offseason in the weight room and I’m happy for our kids. The hard work paid off tonight.”

    There was no mystery in what Neshaminy was doing. It pounded on the Ocean City front, creating huge areas for Barnett to run through. There were times when Barnett was not touched until he was six, seven yards downfield. He had big runs of 15, 18, 32, 46 and 47 yards. He slammed through the Ocean City defense for 188 yards in the second half alone.

    “We put in that stretch-zone play and we’ve been working it since December in the gym and we relied on it today,” Wilmot said. “They were blitzing and we picked up the blitz. We still made a ton of mistakes today and I would like to pass the ball more than we did. We have things we have to address on Monday, but overall, there’s a lot of great feelings.”

    That starts up front.

    The Neshaminy offensive line helped amass 292 yards rushing.

    “As a team, we feel so much better and we have so much senior leadership,” Cunningham said. “This is going to give us the confidence to run the ball.”

    Added Dunkley, “They thought they were going to smash us and they thought wrong. I think the difference between offensively and defensively, is we beat them with strength. They weren’t as strong as we were. I knew if we kept pushing the ball forward, we were going to come out on top.

    “This was a confidence booster.”

    Ocean City finished 11-1 last year. The Red Raiders were considered to have a formidable attack.

    Neshaminy crushed that. Its defense had eight sacks for minus-59 yards. There was one successive three-play sequence when Neshaminy sacked Ocean City senior quarterback Riley Gunnels, two coming from Dunkley, which pushed the ball back from the Neshaminy 26 to the Ocean City 48.

    By then, Neshaminy was 14-0 and in firm command.

    Neshaminy wanted to make an immediate statement Friday night: It won’t be pushed around anymore.

    Scoring Summary

    Neshaminy (1-0) 0 7 7 7-21

    Ocean City (0-1) 0 0 0 0-0

  • Downingtown West’s Jake Kucera makes a triumphant return in 48-13 win over Highland

    Downingtown West’s Jake Kucera makes a triumphant return in 48-13 win over Highland

    The rattling rails of the rollercoasters could be overheard in the background, and the cool breeze pushing off the Atlantic Ocean on Friday afternoon gave Carey Stadium a reprieve from the heat in Ocean City, New Jersey, at the Battle of the Beach.

    It was a fitting tableau for the combustible Jake Kucera. The Downingtown West 5-foot-10, 165-pound junior slotback/strong safety broke the fibula in his right leg last year in the third game of 2021 ending his season.

    On Friday, he was a timebomb ready to explode on Highland (NJ) and that’s what he did, scoring a career-best four touchdowns, rushing for a career-high 147 yards, and catching a career-best 108 yards on four receptions in Downingtown West’s 48-13 thumping of Highland.

    “I think I might have rushed for 100 yards back in middle school,” said a sweaty Kucera, holding the white marble game MVP award. “It was a big day. I managed to get some sleep, but I had this game on my mind for a long time. Last year I really wanted to have a breakout year, a good year, and unfortunately, it didn’t happen. So I’ve been waiting a long time for this.

    “The bus ride was filled with a lot of anticipation, a lot of excitement. It’s hard not to get super amped up for a game like this. I never was hurt like that before.”

    Kucera underwent two months of rehab and was able to return this past spring for baseball season.

    “Jake was a starter as a freshman and he’s an obvious talent and we were excited about him coming back his sophomore year when he got rolled up in the game against Perkiomen Valley,” Whippets’ coach Mike Milano said. “He’s a great baseball player, a great athlete, and a great kid. We came into this game thinking we could do a couple of things with Jake. He’s a good combination of fast, physical, and smart.”

    A lot of Kucera’s success came running behind mammoth 6-foot-7, 310-pound junior tackle Ryan Howard, the younger brother of former Downingtown West star quarterback Will Howard.

    “It’s great blocking for him because we open the holes and Jake does the rest,” Ryan said. “We know we can get him a little space and he’ll run through it. All offseason, I saw what Jake can do and it was on full display today.”

    Highland scored on its second possession when senior tailback Angelo Rodriguez popped up the middle for 20 yards for the first of his two touchdowns.

    After that, the Whippets—and Kucera—rolled.

    Downingtown West took advantage of a high snap on a punt that gave the Whippets possession at the Highland 12. A penalty moved the ball to the seven and two plays later, Downingtown West junior quarterback Quinn Henicle plunged into the end zone from a yard out.

    The game then turned into the “Jake Kucera show.”

    He scored the next four touchdowns in succession, featuring three TD passes from Henicle for 46, 19, and 14 yards, which sandwiched his 77-yard TD run where he went untouched.

    “To come out here and perform like this was really special (after losing last year to injury),” said Kucera, who finished with 255 all-purpose yards. “It was a lot of fun.”

  • St. Joe’s Prep dominates Delaware powerhouse Middletown, 24-6, on ESPN

    St. Joe’s Prep dominates Delaware powerhouse Middletown, 24-6, on ESPN

    The two operative words kept echoing all week for St. Joe’s Prep, “rebound and respond.” And this was much needed towards that stream of thought. It wasn’t going to eradicate the loss last week, though it helped ease some of the frustration.

    St. Joe’s Prep received a healthy dose of redemption Friday night, and the Hawks did it in of all places—on national TV, when they squashed perennial Delaware powerhouse Middletown, 24-6, on ESPN.

    The victory snapped Middletown’s 30-game home winning streak that dated back to September 2015, and it pushed Prep to 3-2 overall this season while the Cavaliers lost for the first time this season, dropping to 4-1.

    “We had a great week of work, with practice and preparation and it was a great atmosphere, Hawks’ coach Tom Roken said. “Offensively, we struggled with being able to run the ball consistently in the first half, but we were able to rebound and respond. We played well in the red zone, making some big plays. We stressed rallying to the ball this week.”

    Senior tailback Blaine Bunch rushed for a pair of touchdowns of 7 and 2 yards. Sophomore Kahseim Phillips added an 11-yard scoring run in the third quarter and Antonio Chadha booted a 38-yard field goal.

    The Hawks’ only flaw the entire night was a breakdown on one play, when Davis hit Rob Hinson for a 52-yard catch-and-run with 4:43 left in the third quarter. Prep responded with a seven-play, 70-yard drive ending in Phillips’ TD.

    It’s been an underlying theme to this Prep team: When the Hawks get hit, they don’t cower, they rebound and respond. Against La Salle last week, Prep trailed 28-14, and answered with a touchdown drive. After Middletown scored, the Hawks did the same thing.

    The Hawks defense, which took some shots last week in a 28-21 loss to Catholic League archrival La Salle, was dominant and stubborn.

    If it wasn’t junior linebacker Josiah Trotter making another tackle, or junior defensive end Matt Dumond causing chaos up front of picking off a pass, or Keenan Nelson and Omillio Agard defending a pass, or freshman safety Anthony Sacca making a diving interception, it was someone else on the Hawks’ defense making a play.

    “Our team faced a lot of adversity, so I would say this was a great rebound from last week,” said Agard, one of the country’s top sophomores. “We still have work to do, but it was great to show on a big stage that we’re still ‘The Prep,’ and last week’s performance is not who we are. We had to rebound, and we had to rebound with great defense.”

    At times, it seemed as if Prep had 14 players on the field, making Middletown’s South Carolina-bound quarterback Braden Davis look pedestrian, scrambling for time and space from St. Joe’s pressure all night.

    Prep rushed for 273 yards, most of it coming from sophomore quarterback Samaj Jones, who rushed for a game-high 116 yards on 13 carries. Tackles Brad Harris and Alec Treadway, guards Lakeem Steele and George Reinhard and center Julian Cervantes had a lot to do with that. The group played well this season, but perhaps, to this point, probably played their best game this season.

    “This definitely helped us, it was hard rewatching the La Salle film and that fueled this week,” Dumond said. “It was definitely a wake-up call and gave us motivation for this week. Since we had such a great week of practice, it showed that if you put the work in and are prepared, the sky is the limit.”

  • The Nick Singleton show flies over Episcopal Academy 49-26

    The Nick Singleton show flies over Episcopal Academy 49-26

    Every time Nick Singleton carries the ball, it’s like he’s the engine of a great wave. A mass of players moves along with the gifted Penn State-bound Governor Mifflin 6-foot, 210-pound senior running back, and he always seems to emerge on the other side of the surge—usually untouched.

    Singleton introduced himself rather abruptly to Southeastern Pennsylvania on Friday night by running through Episcopal Academy for a season-best 306 yards rushing and a career-high 6 touchdowns—all in the first half—in the Mustangs’ 49-26 victory.

    The Mustangs remained undefeated at 4-0, while Episcopal lost for the first time this season, falling to 3-1.

    This is a Governor Mifflin team that isn’t built to play in September, October or November. This Mustangs team is aiming for December—in Hershey. Friday’s victory was another step in that process, but things need to be cleaned up before this team continues making those steps. If Mifflin had a crack in its invincibility, it was penalties. The Mustangs were flagged 12 times for 120 yards, including four personal foul calls.

    “This helps a lot, but I’m not going to lie, this wasn’t the best,” Singleton said. “I don’t think I ever scored six TDs in a game before, so this is new for me. I think as a team we need to back some things up, and back up the penalties, because teams will see that that they get inside of our heads. We can’t get caught up in that. We need to back up from that and move on.”

    The game was over by the first quarter. For those that didn’t know who Singleton was, they found out fast.

    Singleton took the opening kickoff 83 yards in 11 seconds for a 7-0 Mustangs’ lead. Singleton scored on Mifflin’s second possession on a 6-yard run with 9:16 left in the first quarter, then closed the Mustangs’ third drive with a 19-yard run for a 21-0 lead with 5:10 left in the quarter.

    On the first play of the second quarter, Singleton sped 63 yards for a 28-0 Mifflin lead with 11:51 left in the half, then ripped through Episcopal’s defense for a 55-yard score with 6:41 left.

    By then, Singleton had 5 touchdowns on 9 touches, averaging an amazing 21.3 yards a carry. Singleton smashed through the 200-yard barrier on a 66-yard TD with 1:27 left in the half.

    He finished the half with 281 yards rushing on 12 carries and 364 all-purpose yards. He had six touchdowns on 13 touches, averaging almost a touchdown on every other touch.

    “I’m not happy about the penalties at all, but our kids came on from the get-go and in the second half we came out and let a couple of things happened that shouldn’t have happened,” Mifflin coach Jeff Lang said. “We didn’t have a whole lot of time in the second half to move the ball and we were having trouble stopping them.

    “But I like where we are right now, but there is still room for growth for this team.”

    Episcopal got some great sparks, especially from junior tailback TJ Cadden, whose 85-yard kickoff return for a touchdown opened the second half. The Churchmen dominated the second half time of possession and drove the ball inside the red zone twice, only to blow those chances with turnovers.

    “(Singleton) is a very good player and we knew what to expect,” Cadden said. “We didn’t back down. It really wasn’t so much football stuff, we had been using a defense to stop the triple option, and we had a good game plan going into this game, (Singleton) is just a very good player who’s going to be tough to stop.”

    Tough stop in September, October, November and possibly December.

  • St. Joe’s Prep smacks around Gonzaga (DC) 35-3

    St. Joe’s Prep smacks around Gonzaga (DC) 35-3

    Maybe some good surfaced from last week’s loss. In a twisted way, maybe having its 18-game winning streak dating back to 2019 snapped ignited something dormant within the St. Joseph’s Prep team that needed to be kicked around a little to hit the refocus switch.

    Because the Hawks made very easy work of visiting Gonzaga (DC) Friday night, 35-3, at Penn’s historic Franklin Field, behind a stifling defense and an offense that couldn’t be stopped in the first half.

    Sophomore quarter Samaj Jones rushed for a game-high 100 yards on 10 carries, and junior linebacker Cole Nilles caused chaos all over the field.

    Perhaps the biggest takeaway from the victory was it seemed the Hawks (2-1 overall) regained their mojo.

    Gonzaga entered the game undefeated, at 3-0, but the Eagles first three opponents were a combined 1-7, while Prep’s two opening games were against teams that were a combined 3-4.

    No matter, the Hawks’ victory was another step in making a young team more complete.

    “We came out, we had the right scheme and we practiced well,” Jones said. “Coming off a loss, it’s always the best week of practice. I think we learned about adversity and what it’s like to have a chip on our shoulders going into the fight.”

    Nilles and the Hawks’ defense moved well Friday night.

    “We spent a lot of time as a team watching film and working on communicating,” Nilles said. “Tonight, we had a really good first half, and in the second half, we missed some tackles, but we still played great.”

    The game was essentially over by halftime. Gonzaga was moving at one speed, while the Hawks were operating at light speed. The Eagles couldn’t do anything offensively the first two quarters against the smaller, quicker St. Joe’s Prep defense.

    Offensively, the Hawks needed only three plays to score on their first possession, the bulk of which came on Jones’ 59-yard touchdown run with 10:44 left in the first quarter.

    St. Joe’s Prep didn’t let up. The Hawks needed four plays on their second series to get into the end zone. The score was set up by junior linebacker Cole Nilles’ fumble recovery at the Gonzaga 23.

    From there, Jones converted a third-and-three with a 16-yard run to the Eagles’ 5. Two plays later, Jones hit sophomore tailback Rahseim Phillips with an 8-yard TD pass with 9:20 left in the first quarter for a 14-0 lead.

    On the Hawks’ third possession, Jones directed a seven-play, 39-yard drive that culminated in senior running back Josh Barlow’s 2-yard score with 4:44 left in the opening quarter.

    St. Joe’s Prep ended the half with a very impressive 15-play, 6-minute drive, which resulted in another Barlow 2-yard touchdown with 3:15 left in the half. All Gonzaga would settle for in the entire game was a 35-yard James Miller field goal with 9:21 left in the second quarter.

    Prep’s defense sacked Gonzaga quarterback Carson Petitbon seven times for minus-63 yards.

    “This was huge, and we have a young group that refocused and for a young, adversity sometimes is a good thing,” Hawks’ coach Tim Roken said. “As a whole program, we looked ourselves in the mirror. We still have to clean some things up in the second half. We got back to playing our ball and we have a bye week to clean those things up.

    “We’re grateful for the win and get ready for the Catholic League schedule.”

  • Northeast losses its opener, but the Vikings could gain in the long run

    Northeast losses its opener, but the Vikings could gain in the long run

    For once, the scoreboard didn’t matter. It didn’t anyway, since the scoreboard at Ocean City High School was broke Friday afternoon in the first game of the Battle at the Beach.

    On a larger scope, nothing was really able to measure the emotional trauma the Northeast High School football team went through last week after the homicide of receiver Khyrie Isaac on August 16. Vikings’ coach Eric Clark and his team had a lot to juggle leading into their opener against traditional South Jersey powerhouse St. Joseph’s Academy (Hammonton, NJ).

    St. Joe’s won, 31-18, in the Battle at the Beach, hosted by Ocean City High School, but Northeast may have gained more from the setback than the Wildcats did in victory.

    For one, Northeast star Kenny Talley proved to be every bit as advertised. The Penn State-bound defender was easily the best player on the field, and it was easy to see because he was all over the field.

    Talley lined up at middle linebacker, defensive end, defensive tackle. Where the ball was, he arrived. Sometimes with a thud, as Wildcats’ tailback Tallen Murray found out in the second quarter when Talley slammed him down with his right shoulder. Talley had 12 tackles, eight tackles for losses.

    What was also encouraging was the Vikings’ tailback tandem of senior Jordin Jones and junior Terail Greene.

    Jones and Greene combined to rush for 263 yards and two touchdowns. Greene led everyone with 18 carries for 137 yards and Jones glided for 120 yards on 17 carries.

    “We have to fix things up, but there were things we made up for in the second half,” Jones said. “We need to come out with the same energy as we came out with the second half.”

    Unforced errors did the Vikings in. An interception was returned for a touchdown and a fumble inside their 10 turned into another Wildcats’ touchdown. Secondary problems and low snaps didn’t help, and it created a 31-6 halftime bulge that Northeast couldn’t overcome.

    “We started off slow and we played down in the first half,” Greene said. “We need to work on our two-point conversions, and I think with me and Jordin combined, we’re going to have a great year.”

    Northeast dominated the second half. The Vikings controlled the ball and held St. Joe’s to 20 yards of total offense.

    “This was big for us after the loss of our brother Khyrie, because this game was for him,” Talley said. “I think we learned what we have to fix.”

    For Clark, though his team lost, the Vikings’ coach was beaming. He saw his team overcome a horrid first half to bounce back and make it a competitive game. He saw junior Sabor Stevens step in at quarterback and add another dimension to the Northeast offense with a downfield passing game.

    What Clark saw most was a team that responded well to adversity.

    “I’ve never been so proud of a group of young men as I am now,” Clark said. “This was the first time we put on the pads in a week. That second half was so much fun. The guys were bouncing around and laughing. We had Greene and Jones, and I told them, I’m looking at 3,000 yards between them both this year.

    “This is a big step for our young men. This is the first time Northeast ever played outside the state. We didn’t lose today. Anytime we can do something positive for our young people, that’s a win to me.”

    ” James Duncan is a good athlete at and does well under pressure plus has a good size at 6’5″ and a good arm.”  “We have top seed Santana they are having a great season they are coached well so we have to get healed up and do our homework to prepare for the Sultans.”

    “After we trailed 22-21 I said this is another classic game but Mark Santer my running back scored the winning touchdown on a triple option play he did well and broke a few tackles for us as he scored for us and that is how we won.” said coach Corley.

    Jason Patterson Orange Glen Patriots Football Coach:  “When we led 22-21 and held San Pasqual down our defense played a lot better this week we needed the opportunities made the key tackles and did our assignments but it was a good game on both sides.”

    “My qb (Ethan Villalobos) made a good throw to wide receiver DJ Harris who made an outstanding catch as we held to a 1 point game most of the way.” “San Pasqual always has a good running game Trevor (Jumgman) is a good athlete has done a nice job with his running and passing.” said Coach Patterson.

    Torrey Pines Falcons improve to 3-1 with win over previously undefeated San Pasqual Eagles

    By David A. Willauer-Contributing Writer-San Pasqual High School-Escondido, CA-9-13-19

  • St. Joe’s Prep comes up short, 31-25, to national powerhouse IMG Academy

    St. Joe’s Prep comes up short, 31-25, to national powerhouse IMG Academy

    PISCATAWAY, NJ — St. Joseph’s Prep is a team overflowing with talent. But even the Hawks can’t overcome costly penalties and turnovers.

    That’s what bit St. Joe’s Prep against IMG Academy (No. 7 USA Today/No. 4 MaxPreps) Friday night at Rutgers’ SHI Stadium in a 31-25 defeat.

    The Hawks (1-2) turned the ball over four times—two coming on their first possessions—and committed nine penalties for 72 yards. IMG (3-0) didn’t exactly help itself, either, committing 19 penalties for 180 yards.

    “That is a team that you can’t make mistakes against and some of the things we learned in the first game I told the guys the same thing again,” Hawks’ coach Tim Roken said. “I know it hurts. But we have to keep learning by our mistakes and get better by them.”

    Prep did make things interesting late when Hawks’ senior tailback Kobe Burrell scored on a 2-yard run with 2:52 left to play to make it 31-25. But Prep’s tired defense bent in the second half and couldn’t get the ball back.

    There were plenty of positives to take against one of the premier high school football programs in the country.

    For one, junior receiver Sahmir Hagans singlehandedly kept the Hawks in the game during the first half. His 11-yard TD reception and explosive 98-yard kickoff return gave The Prep a 12-10 halftime lead.

    “We harmed ourselves with little penalties and getting into a chatter with the other team,” said Hagans, who caught six passes for 52 yards. “We have to play our game and keep our heads. We beat ourselves in that one.

    “That’s a top-five team in the country, and if we fix our mistakes, we win that game.”

    By the 8:17-mark of the third quarter, IMG had been nailed for 11 penalties for 100 yards. After the quarter, the Ascenders had amassed 135 yards in penalties, but they also had the lead, 31-18, when Ari Allen hauled in a 14-yard pass from DJ Boney in the corner of the end with 4:37 left in the quarter.

    One minute later, IMG was up 24-12, after Camden’s Corey Palmer hauled in another Boney 14-yard scoring pass. Prep junior quarterback Kyle McCord took a four-yard sneak into the end zone, which was immediately answered on IMG’s next drive, ending in Kaytron Allen’s 63-yard TD run with :09 remaining.

    Other than the McCord TD run, the Hawks couldn’t sustain anything offensively in the third quarter. That had an effect on the defense, which appeared exhausted. Allen weaved his way through the fatigued defense for a 63-yard score, and the play before that, the Hawks couldn’t pull down Boney, who escaped to hit Palmer with an 18-yard reception.

    The Hawks didn’t help themselves on their first two drives. Junior Grant Miller intercepted McCord on the second play of the game, but the Hawks held strong, thanks to a pair of tackles by Jeremiah Trotter Jr.

    The first Hawks’ turnover resulted in an Erickson Buck 33-yard field goal with 9:02 left in the first quarter.

    On the Hawks’ second drive, McCord lost a fumble and Miller again was there to scoop up the turnover. This time, St. Joe’s Prep held, when the Ascenders failed on a fourth-and-goal from the Hawks’ six.

    The Prep offense didn’t really start going until early in the second quarter. But the Hawks were helped greatly by a fumble recovery by junior defensive tackle Nick Yagodich’s fumble recovery at the IMG 43 with 9:46 left in the half.

    From there, McCord found a rhythm and ended a 1-minute, 14-second, five-play drive when he hit Hagans slanting in for an 11-yard touchdown pass with 8:41 left in the half and a 6-3 lead.

    After a slow offensive performance by both teams, special teams took over.

    First, IMG junior Dekel Crowdus showed great speed in breaking through a crease in Prep’s punt return for a 92-yard TD return and a short-lived 10-6 lead. That’s because Hagans erupted again, taking the ensuing kickoff 98 yards for his second TD and a 12-10 Prep lead at the half.

    Neither team was able to do much offensively in the first two quarters.

    Prep had amassed 88 yards of offense, two turnovers and was flagged six times for 37 yards.

    IMG didn’t fair much better, picking up 96 yards in total offense, getting flagged seven times for 70 yards, which included two personal foul calls.

    “There is some stuff that we have to clean up on our side,” said Trotter, who again showed why he’s among the best players in the country, committing to Clemson last week. “We could have won this game. We’ll watch tape and be ready for the Catholic League season.

    “We were a little worn down late, but we kept pushing through. It shouldn’t have led up to them kneeling on the ball in the end. It should have been a lot closer than that.”

  • St. Joe’s Prep downs nationally ranked No. 4 St. John’s College (D.C.) 34-30

    St. Joe’s Prep downs nationally ranked No. 4 St. John’s College (D.C.) 34-30

    PISCATAWAY, NJ —Tim Roken tucked the ball nonchalantly under his arm and politely shook the hands of all the well-wishers that were coming at him from every direction Friday night at Rutgers’ SHI Stadium.

    Not too far away stood Hawks’ junior receiver Malik Cooper, who was smiling and posing for shots with teammates and coaches, basking in this new feeling of being a Friday night hero.

    Both Roken and Cooper are in new roles this season, with Roken being the new head coach at St. Joe’s Prep and Cooper playing receiver for the first time.

    The guys in their new roles got the Hawks back to an old role, winning.

    Thanks to a career-high five catches for 157 yards and two TDs from Cooper and some bold moves from Roken, pulled off an upset in beating St. John’s College. St. John’s is ranked No. 4 nationally by USA Today and MaxPreps, 34-30.

    It marked Roken’s first victory as a head coach and introduced Cooper to a host of national scouts that were watching the game.

    The Hawks are now 1-1 with another national powerhouse on the slate next week in visiting IMG.

    “It was a great team win,” Roken said. “Our coaches and our players obviously had a tough defeat last week in Georgia. But they came back and drew a line in the sand on Monday morning at 6 a.m. They didn’t want to feel that away again.

    “You learn by those things. We had our backs against the wall a few tines tonight and we came back and won. This team fights. They fight. These are great programs and to play in this atmosphere is awesome. Our guys buckled down when we needed to. These guys fight.”

    Junior defensive back Dave Watson stripped and recovered a fumble by LSU-bound St. John’s receiver Rakim Jarrett, with just over three minutes to play at the Prep 33. From there, the Hawks ran out the clock to preserve the win.

    For Cooper, it was a combination of elation, mixed with a little reprieve.

    Cooper’s 38-yard TD reception with 1:51 left in the third quarter proved to be the winning points. He also caught a 74-yard TD pass at the start of the game. But what gnawed at him, and what almost backfired on the Hawks, was an option pass Cooper made down field that was intercepted early in the third quarter and Prep up, 24-7.

    The Cadets took control and reeled off 20 unanswered points in three minutes, six seconds. The Prep offense struggled to get across midfield.

    Cooper, needless to say, was kicking himself after the interception.

    “I was kicking myself, but I had to take that off my mind, because that pass was definitely on my mind,” Cooper said. “We beat ourselves against Marietta last week, so we had to retaliate and come back to get that ‘W.’”

    Kyle McCord completed 17 of 35 passes for 283 yards and three touchdowns, two to Cooper and one to Marvin Harrison Jr. McCord, like the rest of the Hawks, dealt with a certain level of frustration from the 21-17 season-opening loss to Marietta.

    “We learned from it,” McCord said. “This was an emotional win against a great team. That means a lot for us, and it’s the brand of football we like to play. Last week we didn’t live up to the standard, and this week we got back on track.

    “Overall, it was the little things, alignment, staying on sides, finishing your job. I’ll admit, I messed up last week. We paid attention to detail and it showed. This showed we’re resilient to come back from behind.”

    This looked like a blowout early.

    The Hawks bolted out to a surprising 21-0 first-quarter lead and held a 24-7 advantage at halftime.

    By then, McCord had thrown for 195 yards, completing 12 of 25, with two touchdowns and one interception, which led to the Cadets’ lone halftime score.

    After one quarter, the Hawks were totally dominant. They had outgained St. John’s College 161 to 16 in total yards, and held the Cadets without a first down throughout the quarter. St. John’s College didn’t get its initial first down of the game until there was 8:22 left in the half.

    Jarrett was held to two receptions for a total of 16 yards.

    St. Joe’s opened the scoring on its first possession when McCord hit Cooper in stride for a 74-yard touchdown. It was a perfect connection and further proof why numerous major programs liked Ohio State-commit McCord. The ball seemed to wait in the air for Cooper to run under it and take off.

    Cooper, meanwhile, had a career-best game by halftime, catching three passes for 113 yards, the bulk of which came on the 74-yard TD.

    Prep’s defense, which held the Cadets to 129 yards of offense and four first downs in the half, put the Hawks up 14-0 when a botched handoff was fumbled in the end zone and recovered by Prep’s Blake Romano in the end zone.

    The Hawks closed the quarter when McCord hit an open Marvin Harrison Jr. alone in the corner of the end zone with a five-yard TD with 1:06 left in the quarter.

    The only mistake the Hawks made in the half when Jamell Overton picked off a McCord pass at the Prep 36. Seven plays later, Cadets’ senior quarterback Sol-Jay Maiava fooled everyone and ran in for a seven-yard score with 8:22 left in the half.

    The Hawks replied with a 14-play, 80-yard drive that resulted in an Antonio Chadha 29-yard field goal.

    What can’t get lost here is the amazing job St. Joe’s Prep sophomore Keenan Nelson Jr. did on Jarrett, a major talent, throughout the game. The 6-foot, 180-pound defensive back has received college offers. After Friday night’s victory, more will certainly be pouring in.

  • St. Joe’s Prep loses a 21-17 heartbreaker in season opener in Marietta (Ga.) 8-30-19

    St. Joe’s Prep loses a 21-17 heartbreaker in season opener in Marietta (Ga.) 8-30-19

    The one team in Pennsylvania—perhaps the only team in the state—that can beat St. Joseph’s Prep is St. Joseph’s Prep.

    The Hawks, ranked No. 11 nationally by numerous national news outlets, appeared primed for a minor upset over the Marietta (Ga.) Blue Devils, when they stung themselves with a costly unsportsmanlike penalty celebrating a go-ahead fourth quarter score, giving Marietta a short field to work with.

    That set the stage for Tennessee-bound Marietta senior quarterback Harrison Bailey to direct a five-play, 66-yard drive that resulted in Bailey hitting Ricky White with 14 seconds left for a 23-yard scoring pass and a 21-17 victory over the defending PIAA 6A state champs.

    Bailey finished passing for 17-of-34 for 259 yards and two touchdowns. St. Joseph’s Prep junior quarterback Kyle “Captain Cool” McCord, who’s bound for Ohio State, countered by going 20-of-33 passing for 249 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. Junior receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., with his Hall-of-Fame father, Marvin Harrison Sr., watching from the stands caught seven passes for 107 yards, while senior running back Kolbe Burrell ran for 98 yards on 22 carries.

    Entering the game, which was televised nationally on ESPNU, Marietta was ranked No. 9 by USA Today this week, while St. Joe’s prep was No. 11.

    The frustrating piece for the Hawks, who are a cumulative 40-2 with two PIAA 6A state titles in the last three years, is that this was a winnable game.

    The Hawks hurt themselves with penalties, especially the unsportsmanlike after the go-ahead TD that came late. The Hawks hurt themselves with an inability to score touchdowns in the red zone, squandering one chance in the first half that resulted in a missed field goal attempt, and another blown chance that did result in a field goal.

    There were a number of shining moments, however, for the Hawks to build on.

    For one, McCord has only gotten better. He showed great poise as a sophomore, after throwing an interception on the first play of the PIAA 6A state title game against Harrisburg, before rebounding to complete 26 of 37 passes for 284 yards and two TDs in the Hawks’ 40-20 state title victory over Harrisburg.

    Trailing 14-10, McCord directed the Hawks on a drive that ended with a 12-yard TD pass to Sahmir Hagans with 1:18 to play.

    It’s a strength that will make the Hawks competitive until the very end in every game they play this season.

    There were dropped passes and missed tackles that also occurred for the Hawks in August that are certainly correctable.

    The Hawks had the ball twice at the Marietta five-yard line and only came up with three points. A missed 29-yard field goal in the first quarter and they had to settle for an Antonio Chadha 22-yard field goal with 1:50 left in the third quarter, squandering the brilliant play by senior defensive tackle Anthony Leneghan, who intercepted a pass and returned it to the Blue Devils’ five with 2:36 to play in the quarter.

  • New Jersey Power Paramus Catholic Too Much For Archbishop Wood To Overcome

    By Brian Ptashinski  @BPtashinski on Twitter

    WARMINSTER PA-  New Jersey powerhouse Paramus Catholic jumped out to 14-0 lead and never really looked back Saturday night at William Tennent High School. The visitors left the rain-soaked turf with a convincing 34-14 win over the defending PIAA 5A State Champions.

    The Paladins came into the contest as the number 2 ranked team by NJ.com top 20. They dismantled Wood in a way deserving of that ranking.

    Paramus Catholic took advantage early as Wood fumbled on their opening possession. The Paladins scored quickly as QB Shelton Applewhite, who is getting interest from Rutgers, connected with WR Mohammed Toure for a 38-yard score just five minutes into the contest. Paramus Catholic enjoyed great field position all night due to several poor punts by Wood. Their second drive of the quarter ended as Applewhite hit Jonathon Clark for a 7-yard score and a 14-0 lead. That score came off a 10 yard Wood punt.

    “You can’t give up a short field like that, especially to a team like that. We gave them the ball at the doorstep so many times tonight. We got a lot of work to do to correct this,” stated a dejected Vikings coach Steve Devlin.

    Wood did mange to get on the scoreboard as they completed a 79-yard drive in nine plays culminating in RB Adrian Lambert finding the end zone from three yards out cutting the lead to 14-7. That would be the closest the Vikings would get for rest of the game.

    Applewhite completed 8 of 15 passes for 141 yards and 4 scores. He connected with Toure again for 31 yards and a score giving the New Jersey school a 21-7 lead with about five minutes till half. Wood took the ensuing drive deep into Paladin territory, but an interception ended the drive at the 12 as the game reached intermission.

    Paramus Catholic took the second half kickoff and started their drive at their 49. The drive was capped off with a one-yard dive by Henry Pearson upping the lead to 27-7 as PAT was wide right. Pearson was on the receiving end of a 14-yard pass from Applewhite, making the score 34-7 with about six minutes left in the game.

    The Vikings did manage to score on an untimed down following a Paladin penalty with no time on the clock. The 44-yard bomb from QB Jack Colyer to Ryan Loughlin made the score 34-14.

    The road doesn’t get any easier for Wood (1-1) as they travel to meet national power Bergen Catholic, another powerhouse in New Jersey next Saturday. The Paladins (1-0) will travel to face DePaul Catholic.

  • The Cultivation of Carson Wentz: A Conversation with Ron Wingenbach

    Originally published on www.buckscountyherald.com

     

    North Dakotans know a lot about planting and harvesting.

    U.S. Department of Agriculture statistics rank the Peace Garden State as first or second in the country in producing wheat, barley, oats, sunflowers and edible beans.

    In 2016, North Dakota harvested a home grown bumper crop of quarterback. Carson Wentz’s story is just short of incredible. The Bismarck native played just one full collegiate season, at a 1-AA school no less, yet elevated his game to become both the second overall pick of the NFL draft and the cornerstone of the Philadelphia Eagles’ franchise.

    Ron Wingenbach had a front row seat to Carson’s cultivation.

    A head football coach for 34 years- the last 28 at Bismarck Century High School- Wingenbach coached Wentz and still stays in touch with him.

    In 2007, Wentz set Century’s single season school passing record. Wentz later attended North Dakota State University and had an excellent athletic career.

    Except that Wentz would be Carson’s brother Zach, an Academic All-American who is still SU’s (local parlance) all time doubles leader in baseball. In 2007, Carson was a 5’10” ninth grader playing on the freshman team.

    The next year, Carson played for the sophomore team and saw reps at JV. “Carson never got to showcase his talent until his senior year,” Wingenbach said. “He was very limited in his junior year because of an injury. As a sophomore, he wasn’t ready to play at that level.”

    There are four classes of prep football in North Dakota- A, AA, AAA and nine-man for the tiny schools. Century, which has 1225 students in four grades, plays AAA. Carson was working his way through a program whose varsity squad repeated as state semi-finalists in North Dakota’s biggest division.

    “His junior year is when we thought he was ready to make a big step. And he got hurt. It was kind of a lost season,” Wingenbach said. “In his senior year, we knew he was ready. You talk about a classic example of if you’re good enough, colleges are going to find you. That is a great model for parents. When you get your chance, put your best foot forward and know that someone is going to find you.

    “Our base system is a pro I and in 2007, we went to more of a spread Pro I,” Wingenbach described. In 2010, Carson’s senior year, “We took our whole offensive scheme and asked ourselves ‘How can we spread the defense even more?’ His senior year, we had great kids, but not a lot of depth on the offensive and defensive lines so we wanted to take a little of the burden off of them and put it on Carson’s shoulders,” Wingenbach continued. “We ran him a lot more on select plays.”

    Carson had an excellent senior season on both sides of the football. Although Century had the luxury of playing platoon football, Wingenbach used Wentz as a defensive “closer”- in the fourth quarter or in the red zone.

    “He was a heckuva free safety. With those long strides, he could cover a lot of area,” Wingenbach reminded.

    Wentz won the 3A State Player of the Year and again led Century to the state semi-finals: a tough 22-21 loss to Fargo South. (Century would finally break through, winning the state title in 2015 and defending their title last Fall.)

    “We started giving him some two-way gos and run-pass options. Usually he kept it,” Wingenbach chuckled. “I tip my hat to Fargo South- they executed down the stretch and they got one in with 23 seconds to go.” Ironically, Fargo South’s quarterback- Griffin Neal- would get time in the New Orleans Saints’ camp.

    Offensively, Wentz completed 91 of 149 pass attempts for nearly 1,300 yards and 12 touchdowns. He rushed for 553 yards and another 13 touchdowns. One way to disguise an NFL caliber arm is to run the ball a lot.

    Coaches have a notorious stereotype of being control freaks. It is significant that Wingenbach trusted Wentz to make the right decision. It gives insight into one of Carson Wentz’s best NFL assets: his brain and character.

    “You have to have a lot of trust,” Wingenbach pointed out. “If it’s a negative play, you don’t dare say anything to him. Maybe he read it wrong but you gave him that option so as a coach, you live with it.”

    Wentz was Century’s valedictorian. Three years later, he won the Elite 89 award for having the highest GPA at the FCS National Championship game…the first of three times he’d win the award.

    “He wasn’t a big, big vocal guy but when he did speak, everyone listened,” Wingenbach said. “When he got to the collegiate level and became a starting quarterback, you could sense even more ownership in what he did.”

    Amazingly, Wentz didn’t have a single offer on Opening Night of his senior year. “Carson gave me a list of colleges that he was interested in. The majority of them were FCS- North Dakota State. North Dakota. South Dakota State,” Wingenbach recalled. “Later that summer, after he had committed, Steve Spurrier’s staff inquired about his availability. But he already had signed.

    “It was during his senior year, probably five games in when I started getting inquiries about his ambitions,” Wingenbach continued. “They saw his size. We were ranked 1 or 2 in the State then and just beat our archrivals. Southern Illinois and South Dakota State inquired. All of the local colleges of course. But Central Michigan was the key because they were Division 1 and if a Division 1 school were interested in him, then why weren’t the Division 2 schools after this kid? Then it started.”

    SU was late to the recruiting game, but they were Carson’s top choice all along. He signed with the Bison days after they approached him.

    “Their head coach was Craig Bohl, who is now the head coach at Wyoming,” Wingebach remembered. “NDSU were going to play Montana State in the playoffs in early December, and they were flying out that afternoon. Craig has his pilot’s license. He flew himself out in the morning, visited Carson at Century High School, flew back to Fargo, got on the big plane and went out to Montana. It was within a couple of days when Carson committed.

    “Carson hit an amazing growth spurt. He was 5’10” 140 and when I looked at him as a senior, we had him down at 6’4” 200. Then he hit even another growth spurt at North Dakota State. He grew two inches and with that came the weight,” Wingenbach pointed out. “In three years- in his senior year and his first two years at NDSU, he grew and matured into quite a large man.”

    If the second pick of the Draft plays at an FCS school, he must have been a dominant starter on Day One, right? Not exactly. First, it’s time to level set the “FCS” label.

    Wentz entered a North Dakota State Bison program that was every bit of a juggernaut as Nick Saban’s Crimson Tide. In the three years that Wentz redshirted or backed up, NDSU went 43-2 and won three national championships. All three titles were double digit point wins.

    Brock Jensen, the quarterback ahead of Wentz, played the 2016 season with the CFL’s Ottawa Redblacks. Incumbent quarterbacks who go 43-2 and have multiple pro opportunities are somewhat hard to dislodge.

    “The competitiveness of that conference week in and week out is unbelievable and it preps them well so when you get to that playoff format, they’ve gone through the wringer,” Wingenbach feels. The Bison had seven players on NFL rosters in Opening Day 2016. “People know that they don’t necessarily have to go to Division 1. They can go to NDSU and they have a shot,” Wingenbach continued. “That’s all they ask.”

    NDSU went 4-0 against Division 1-A schools from 2010 to 2013. One victim, the 2013 Kansas State Wildcats, later beat Michigan in a bowl game. Clearly, NDSU deserves to be treated as a mid-major FBS school…at a bare minimum. Joe Flacco, who is big and graduated from FCS Delaware, is the cliched comparison to Wentz. Perhaps the more accurate comparison is Ben Roethlisberger, another big quarterback who attended mid-major Miami Ohio.

    The Bison opened 2014 by pasting Iowa State 34-14 in Ames. It was Wentz’s first Bison start. He completed 18 of 28 passes for 208 yards and no picks while rushing for 38 more yards. NDSU ran their Division 1 win streak to five.

    Wingenbach candidly admits he saw little of this coming while coaching Wentz. “But at the end of his junior year, I went down and watched a game,” Wingenbach recalled, “I told my wife, ‘He has a shot at the NFL just because of his size.’ You don’t coach that.”

    Wentz’s NFL shot has long been validated and the rest of his story is familiar. He broke every major NDSU single season record while winning the Most Outstanding Player of the FCS National Championship. Every scout in the NFL now knew Carson Wentz.

    Only an eight-game injury as a senior kept him somewhat anonymous- and he came back to repeat as the MOP of the National Championship.

    Wingenbach was not surprised that the Eagles traded up to take his protégé. He thought Philadelphia’s system and terminology were great fits for Wentz.

    Socially, Philadelphia also seems to be a great fit. Wentz is actively using his platform as a goodwill ambassador to promote faith and charity in both his old and new hometowns. Bismarck is a convergence of Vikings, Packers and Broncos territory but local pubs that get the Eagles games are packed.

    “A couple of weeks ago, I went to his Audience of One kickoff banquet in Fargo,” Wingenbach offered. “He and Zach did an outstanding job with the leadership and organization.

    “One thing about Carson: Bismarck Legacy High School just opened up four years ago. He has been there talking to the kids too. It’s not just Century. He has exposed himself to all of Bismarck and that means a lot. It’s the whole community,” the coach concluded, “and that’s been pretty special.”

    Chris Hauser Mission Hills Football Coach: “We weren’t consistent enough on both sides of the ball as they scored 44 points on the board and they did much better then what we did.” “We had an opportunity to get the right players in the game but we were hit with too many players on the field penalty.”

  • Nittany Lions Rip Hawkeyes

    By BILL ALBRIGHT
    EasternPAFootball/WesternPAFootball Senior Writer
    University Park – If you didn’t believe it before, believe it now. The Penn State Nittany Lion football team is for real.

    Scoring first and often Saturday night at Beaver Stadium, the Nittany Lions showed the Iowa Hawkeyes the short way home as they pounded the Hawks for a 41-7 lead before walking off the field with a 41-14 win much to the delight of 106,184 fans.

    “I want to thank first of all the fans for coming out,” said PSU head coach James Franklin. “It was an unbelievable home-field environment, 106,000 fans going crazy was awesome and they have a significant impact so we’re very thankful and very appreciative of the support that we’re getting. I think that’s important.

    “A couple things I want to hit on that you might be aware of, but I want to talk about because I think they’re significant,” continued Franklin. “From a negative standpoint, we have to clean up the penalties, we didn’t do a great job of that. We will work on that this week. I thought the third-down conversions were huge, 50 percent on third down. Something we hadn’t really done and we’ve been emphasizing it and we improved on it. Scoring on the opening drive, that’s something that we emphasized earlier in the year and we’re starting to show improvement there. We talked about how physical this game was going to be up front and we proved that we can match up with people and we’re making tremendous progress. Sean Spencer with the d-line and coach Limegrover with the o-line, really proud of those guys. Holding that team to 30 yards rushing was big time. Second straight game holding our opponent under 50 yards. We didn’t have any three-and-outs on offense which really helped our defense as well. I don’t know if I already mentioned this, but Iowa had only been giving up 18 points per game and we were able to put some points on the board. Then Troy Apke getting his first career interception was really good. We won the field position battle, we started on our 33 and they started on their own 21. That’s been a consistent theme all year long for us. The turnover battle, we knew this was going to be the story of this game. They had not been turning the ball over, they did not make mistakes. We talked about that and we didn’t make mistakes. We won the turnover battle and then we won the explosive plays; we had 13 explosive plays to their two. To me they are the most important statistics in the game that were telling and I’m really proud of how our team is playing. The confidence that they’re building and really playing well in all three phrases. They’re really just playing complimentary football right now.”

    The Lions were offensive and defensive in the win. Offensively, they piled up 599 yards, while holding the Hawkeyes to just 30 yards rushing.

    The Lions scored on their first possession, a 19-yard pass from McSorley to Saeed Blacknell.

    “It was huge for us to start out really fast and then for us to score on the first drive, that’s big,” said wide receiver Chris Godwin. “That’s an emphasis for us always starting fast and getting points on the board.”

    With 4:32 gone in the second period, Saquon Barkley did his thing when he ripped off a 57-yard run to the house for a touchdown, and that was only the start of good things to happen for the Lions as they never looked back.

    For the game Barkley finished with 167 yards rushing, 44 receiving yards, one rushing touchdown and one receiving touchdown.

    “We knew Iowa’s focused on being physical, being technically sound and blue-collar football, and we wanted to show that we were able to do it too,” said Barkley. “We were able to rack up I think 300-something yards rushing the ball and almost 600 yards total offense. The O-line did a great job. We’re really meshing. As an offense as a whole, we’re really meshing. It starts up front, and guys are doing a tremendous job of leading those guys and making the right calls to put us in position to be successful.” Junior tight end Mike Gesicki also pointed out the physical nature of the game and how the Lions accepted the challenge, stepped up and executed.
    “Every single week we improve obviously, but I think we were extremely physical tonight with an extremely physical Iowa team,” said Gesicki. “ So to go out there and play the way we did at a physical level and executed was big for us. Coach (Joe) Moorhead is a very smart man when it comes to the offensive side of the ball, and we’re just happy to execute.”

    As for the offensive success of the Lions, quarterback Trace McSorley said it was just a matter of taking advantage of what Iowa gave them. “I guess our design is always to take what they give us so that’s part of it, but through our running game we were confident what we could do running the ball,” said McSorley. “We were able to find a couple things that we were able to get good chunk plays, get 5-6 yard of pop every time. So we were able to kind of go back to those and we knew we needed to get into manageable third downs or cut to the chains in half. I think we did a really good job with that – utilizing those with our RPO’s and our play action pass game, everything really complimented each other tonight.” Defensively, the Lions have been outstanding against the run. Is it being healthy or just gaining confidence?

    “Probably a mixture of both especially this week,” said linebacker Jason Cabinda. “We knew that was the number one thing we needed to do. We needed to stop the run, stop the stress and stop the power. I think they had around 30 to 35 rushing yards today and I think we really executed in that aspect and got that down and made their offense one-dimensional.”

    One of the big negatives these past few weeks have been the penalties. How much of a concern is that and how do the Lions go about cleaning those up?
    “I think today and in general the guys are playing really hard,” said Cabinda. “I had a couple bad penalties today, which is kind of uncharacteristic for me. We have to clean those up. Luckily the defense had my back, we still got the stops that we needed and finished the day with a win. We just have to clean it up. It is as simple as that.”

    Now 7-2 overall and 6-1 in the Big Ten, the Lions face Indiana and Rutgers on the road before returning to Beaver Stadium to close out the regular season for a clash with Michigan State.

  • Palomar wins 2nd ball game

    By David Willauer

    ANCHO CUCAMONGA (10-01-2016) — The Comets are back in gear. After frustrating losses in three of four close games to open the season, Palomar hit host Chaffey with everything it had on the way to a 34-22 nonconference victory on Saturday night at Grigsby Field.

    Coach Joe Early’s squad jumped out to a 21-7 halftime lead by scoring on a 2-yard run by Josh Bernard, a 71-yard pass play from quarterback Matt Romero to Terrell Arnold and a 10-yard Romero-to-Robert Ursua pass.

    After the Panthers answered with a third-quarter touchdown to pull to within seven points, the Comets counterpunched with two more touchdowns in a 20-second span early in the the fourth quarter to go back up by 20 points. LaMont Chaney’s 32-yard run on an end-around play and an interception and 8-yard TD return by Malavai Taylor put Palomar in front 34-14 with 10:23 left in the game and made a later Chaffey touchdown basically irrelevant.

    The Comets mixed the above with a punting clinic by Sam Tapia, who took over the game by controlling the teams’ field position, and a spectacular defensive performance by safety Zach Gallina (13 tackles, 9 solo, a fumble recovery at the Chaffey 13 after Roger Mann knocked the ball loose, an interception at the Palomar 7 and 13-yard return, a forced fumble and back-to-back pass break-ups in the end zone).

    Tapia deposited five more punts inside the 20-yard line, including chip shots that pinned the Panthers at the 7-, 6- and 3-yard lines. He boomed four 40-yard-plus punts, including a 56-yarder that knocked down the Panthers’ Tarmas Stewart who backpedaled, backpedaled some more, then crashed backwards to the turf at his own 19-yard line when he finally caught the ball.

    “This guy gave us field position time after time all night,” Early said, pointing to Tapia. “That wins games.”

    The Comets’ defense intercepted Chaffey quarterback Vincent Bowes four times, sacked him three times and broke up six passes. Besides Gallina’s and Taylor’s picks, Xzavier Crawford intercepted Bowes at the Palomar 1-yard line and Dominique Love provided the other interception at the Comets’ 13. He returned the ball out to the 20.

    The sacks were provided by Mann (for 10 yards), Nako Te’i (for 6 yards) and Christian Prince (for 6 yards). Prince also had two of the pass break-ups (the others came courtesy of Gallina, Michael Moore, Crawford and Nate Johnson). And, late in the game, Prince separated the ball from a Chaffey receiver, who had just caught a pass and was starting to head up the Palomar sideline, with a violent hit. The ball shot into the air and out-of-bounds, followed by the Chaffey receiver.

    Hunter Turner, Mann, Te’i, Mickey Sega, Austin Alualu and Prince combined for seven tackles for loss for 52 yards. Mann had 1.5 tackles for loss for 19 yards and Turner contributed 2 for 10 yards.

    Issiah Augero contributed two kickoff returns of 35 and 34 yards. Romero was 12-for-24 passing for 167 yards, included five completions to Ursua. And Patrick Koch, who kicked a 51-yard field goal last week, sent his first three kickoffs through the end zone for touchbacks. Koch did miss an extra point for the first time this season, going 4-for-5. Tapia, the holder, took the blame for the miss.

    Palomar gets a bye next week and will open Southern Conference play the following Saturday night, Oct. 15, at home at Wilson Stadium in Escondido against Orange Coast.

    Joe Early head football coach at Palomar: “After our loss last week vs. Southwestern we play better then what we did and discussed certain situations in our weekly practice it was good for our squad to jump out 21-0, but we fell into certain situations in which the penalties hurt us when our offense has trouble executing things weren’t good and experienced enough to overcome those types of situations I give a lot of credit to Santa Monica they were low on numbers but their squad kept fighting and didn’t quit.”

    “When we led 21-14 our defense had problems executing and not making key tackles well, those are the issues that we have to look on film and to correct so when we go out on the practice field we have to work on them for us to improve each game.”In the second half we had a lot of key runs as quite a few of our players have stepping up for us in our running backs Isaiah Auger and Currie Thompson as they moved the ball well on the ground that was good to see to close the game out.” said Coach Early.
    “When we got a first and goal at the 4 and our offense couldn’t get in that is something of the issues that we will address in practice, we can’t give up 9 yard drives back to back with our defense this is not good to what our standards are but we will have to watch the film on qb Zack Romero he was a little disappointed that he missed some of the receivers threw high offensively we have some of our guys that are red shirts and gray shirts last year trying to get game experience, it is a learning things as long as we continue to get better every week we have a chance Cerritos is good squad they are big and tough I have known their staff for a long time we have to play them at their place it is going to be a physical game and we need to be ready for it.”said Coach Early

  • Dematha Catholic (MD) Battles Past Bishop McDevitt 35-7

    bishopmcdevitt2016aWith the top high school stars of Maryland and Pennsylvania face off in the Big 33 classic, it was only a matter of time before premier regular season matchups would follow between the states. Nationally ranked Dematha Catholic from Hyattsville, MD made the trek north Friday night to the home field  of one of the perennial powerhouses Bishop McDevitt in Harrisburg PA. Loaded with D1 talent and ranked #5 by USA Today, the Stags were put to the test by the Crusaders.  In the end, Dematha prevailed 35-7 over Bishop McDevitt in a hard fought, entertaining contest.

    Leading the way for Dematha Catholic were QB Beau English and RB Myles Miree.  English’s two first quarter TD passes got the Stags off to a hot start.  Miree had TD runs of 29 and 6 yards.  Miles also led Dematha in rushing with 106 yards.

    Dematha Head Coach Elijah Brooks praised his teams defensive effort, ”Our defense made them fight for every yard. They came up with some crucial stops and crucial turnovers and those guys did a great job.”  McDevitt Head Coach Jeff Weachter was proud of the effort his Crusaders showed, “Give them credit! They made plays when they had to and we didn’t.  Our kids fought hard and we got better.”

    Dematha got off to a fast start in quarter one.  After a three and out by McDevitt, the Stags got on the board first.  On fourth down, a 29 yard TD pass from English to Jermaine Johnson got things going for Dematha.  Following another Crusader punt, the Stags moved the ball down the field again.  Another fourth down pass hit pay dirt for Dematha.  Dominic Logan-Nealy made a nice 26-yard grab for the score.  At the three minute mark of quarter one, the Stags were out to a 14-0 lead.

    This is where McDevitt dug in and held their own with the heavily favored Stags.bishopmcdevitt2016b  Thanks to poor Dematha punts, and a tough Crusader defense, most of the second quarter was played in the Dematha end of the field.  The Dematha D showed some tenacity to keep the McDevitt offense totally bottled up.  The second quarter was scoreless and the game went to the half with Dematha holding only a 14-0 advantage.

    Dematha took the second half kick.  An interception on the opening drive by McDevitt’s Aaron Gethers gave the ball to the Crusaders in the Dematha end.  A short, tough drive ended with QB Tayvon Bowers powering into the end zone on a fourth down play.  A surprised Dematha squad was now up only 14-7 early in the second half.  The Crusader TD seemed to wake the Stags into a frenzy.

    After getting the kickoff, Dematha went the length of the field in only six plays to move the lead back out to 21-7.  The crusaders answered with another grind it out drive.  Deep in Dematha territory, the Stags D held on a crucial fourth down.  Despite the setback there was no quit in McDevitt.  After a defensive stop, they marched right back down the field.  Once again the Dematha D made another big play.  Under heavy pressure, Crusader QB Bowers’ pass was picked inside the five-yard line.  Dematha took over and sealed the game with a 98-yard methodical drive.  Miree’s second TD at the 6:26 mark of quarter four made it 28-7 Dematha. Dematha tacked on a late TD by the second team offense to make the final 35-7.

    Clearly Dematha is a deep and talented team, worthy of it’s national ranking.  But give enormous credit to the young and undermanned Bishop McDevitt squad.  The Crusaders put up a great effort that left the outcome of this game in doubt until late in the fourth quarter.

  • 3 touchdowns by Parker Martin paces Fallbrook High in 1st CIF Football Win in School History

    By David A. Willauer-Contributing Editor

    Warriors Stadium-Fallbrook High School-Fallbrook, CA-For the first time under 3rd year head coach Kyle Williams as he carries a 15-15 career record after tonight’s contest, in his first year it was a 2-9 rebuilding year to a 6-4 winning record in 2014 and made their first CIF State playoff record where they were defeated at Fallbrook by a 38-7 vs. Granite Hills but tonight the Warriors made history as registered their first CIF Division III win in 12 year history of the Warriors Football Program since 2003 under former coach Dennis Houlihan where the Warriors were defeated by Torrey Pines at Qualcolm Stadiun by a 7-3 score, defeated the 5-6 Lancers of Hilltop High School by a 46-6 score as running back Parker Martin’s put on a dazzling performance as he carried the ball 12 times for 196 yards and scored 3 touchdown runs of 98, 10 and 38 yards. Bryce Olivo 9 carries for 71 yards and scored 1 touchdown run of 27 years, Josh Hennenberg 8 carries for 48 yeards scored 1 touchdown run of 12 yards. Jack Grantham 5 completions out of 6 attempts for 80 yards and 1 interception threw 2 touchdown passes of 5 yards to Kobe Stallings (3 receptions for 53 yards) and Nahshon Hagan 1 reception for 22 yards 1 touchdown run of 22.

    Kyle Williams Fallbrook Head Football Coach: “It was good to register our first playoff win in 12 years in the history of our program since 2003 which was good for the kids coming in with a win vs. Hilltop and have 7 wins this year as we have a chance in the Division III playoffs after we lost last year after registering a bye in the second round to Granite Hills 38-7 so far we look forward to playing 2nd ranked Mission Bay” “We’ve won 5 of the last 6 games along with playing a difficult non conference schedule in the first five games and 3 of them are ranked in the top ten that are on our schedule which has helped us improve a lot as we learned from our mistakes.” “Parker Martin is a heck of a back we knew that we could run the Buck Sweep against Hilltop we ran in a lot tonight and I give credit to the offensive line as they blocked well and left open holes to have big runs .” “My QB Jack Grantham doesn’t throw a lot but on the 2 touchdown passes he made the right calls which is working out for us.” “Mission Bay is very athletic ball club they were 8-0 and have lost 2 games in a row.”

    The Lancers scored their only touchdown in the 3rd quarter as Angel Pineda 18 carries for 46 yards scored on a touchdown run of 4 yards.

    With the win the Warriors take a 7-4 record to next Friday’s win at Mission Bay High School game time is 7:00 pm.

  • Rob Beardsley keys Oceanside High to win over rival El Camino

    By David A. Willauer-Contributing Writer

    John Carroll Stadium-Oceanside High School-Oceanside, CA: Rob Beardsley dazzled the crowd with his passing ability as he recorded 8 completions out of 14 attempts for 198 yards and threw 2 touchdown passes of 27 yards to Roman Ivanovich and 74 yards to Taj Apodaca to pace the Pirates of Oceanside at 6-4 to a 29-7 win in the 108th meeting of this historic football rivalry.

    Other Pirate performers: Anthony Martinez 5 carries for 62 yards scored touchdown runs of 2 yards Nico Mangio 15 carries for 85 yards scored a touchdown run of 1 yard and Jake Gerardi’s 45 yard field goal for the other scores.

    First year head coach Dave Rodriguez: “I’m proud of our kids and proud of this city the school and the alumni as everyone came out and watched a good incredible Pirate tradition give credit to an incredible coaching staff that put together an outstanding game plan which isn’t easy to play El Camino as I give all my respect to Coach Roberts of El Camino and his staff in a well fought game and we came out on top.” “We play for the Coach Herb Meyer trophy and we get to keep it for another 365 days hopefully we will keep it for another year, our defensive staff came up with a game plan they invaded our territory as I’m proud of our kids on a good performance.” “QB Rob Beardsley threw 2 good passes today this is an expression of the play that we ran in practice but tonight the moment came and Rob made the correct read on a receiver as they made great catches with the ball as we expect them to and they did the play well.” For the CIF playoffs we will find out tomorrow morning on the CIF website on who we might play either in the Open Division or go to Division I, I am proud of the Pirates to play in the football playoffs we had our ups and downs battled injuries and we played our rival El Camino tonight.”

    The Wildcats at 5-5 scored their only touchdown in the 4th quarter as Tami Tai threw a 33 yards to Dante Dreisbach with the PAT Good.

    The Wildcats lead this series 61-43-4 ties.

  • 5 players Spark Fallbrook in homecoming win over Orange Glen

    By David A. Willauer-Contributing Writer-10-30-15-Warriors Stadium-Fallbrook High School-Fallbrook, CA-In tonight’s homecoming contest tonights Halloween Title was called “Nightmare on Warrior Way” but the Warriors of Fallbrook at 5-4 overall and 3-1 in the Valley League found out a way to win and they did as they defeated the Patriots of Orange Glen by a 69-7 score.

    Parker Martin (2 carries for 69 yards) ran touchdown runs of 66, 3 yards each and caught a pass of 37 yards from QB Jack Grantham (1 completion out of 1 attempt for 37 yards) Jamie Nichols 1 reception for 15 yards) scored on a 15 yard run Nahshon Hagen ran a interception for 25 yards for a touchdown Jack Henenberg (5 carries for 92) scored touchdown runs of 4, 1 and 73 yards. Mark Lindsay (9 carries for 73 yards) scored 2 touchdown runs of 31 and 14 yards.

    Falbrook Head Football Coach Kyle Williams on the win vs. Orange Glen: “We played for a share of the league title tonight our kids were hungry after last weeks 21-0 win over San Pasqual, our squad played with great energy and toughness as they knew how to play together as a football team they came out tonight thinking it wasn’t about the opponent it’s all about us and we won 2 games in a row as I challenged our kids to be the storm.” ” Early in the game we had to take any hope out of their minds an tonight we did that by scoring on the second.” “Our defense came up with 2 interceptions one of them went for a touchdown and we had a punt return down to the 1 yard line with lot of things that has set us up for the victory we were proud and happy for our guys like Josh Hennenberg, Gino Yslas, Michael Lindsay, those individuals don’t carry the ball very much for us but they have a lot of expectations with the reserves in the game and I’m proud of their performance as in Parker Martin as he has contributed for us in the first half we’re trying to not run the score up but had to slow things down in the second half we can’t help it if we run basic plays but it is wonderful to get him back as he is a transfer from Alaska a huge spark plug for our football team he has done well for us.”

    “Our next opponent is Del Norte has defeated us 3 years in a row it has been very close games but I haven’t seen them on film as of yet but will find out after I look at it on Saturday.”

    Orange Glen’s 4-5 only touchdown came in he 4th quarter as quarterback Blaine Berry (5 completions out of 14 attempts for 115 yards) threw an 85 yard pass to Ty Dixon with the PAT good by Ray Poultsey.
