The Wonderful North Catholic-Frankford Football Rivalry -   This story was written after the teams met for the 80th and final time in 2009 . . . By Ted Silary   For now, the last Falcon to score a Thanksgiving touchdown is a guy named Byrd.   And like a whole lot of other people, he now hopes his school, heading for oblivion, can do a U-Turn.   Capital letters were used for that last word because "U-Turn" is the called-by-all nickname of North Catholic senior tailback Eugene Byrd, the final hero, of many, in a football classic that featured one of the best stretch runs you could ever hope to see.   Add in the fact that this game could have been the last for North, targeted for closing this June by the archdiocese, and, well, folks will be talking about this one for at least as long as the series with Frankford has existed.   This was meeting No. 80 on Turkey Day (North leads, 42-34-4) and the 82nd in all (43-35-4) in this granddaddy of Public-Catholic neighborhood rivalries and one could make a strong argument, based on an assortment of clutch, late-game performances, that it featured three winners: North, Frankford, then North again.   As maybe 8,000 spectators at La Salle University roared and looked on in disbelief, there were a trio of lead changes in the final 2 minutes, 28 seconds as the offenses dug down deep for drives covering 67, 70 and 62 yards. Plus, conversion drama was mixed in. The last flip-flop came with 13 seconds remaining when Byrd, a 5-8, 160-pound senior, caught a 20-yard touchdown pass from junior Anthony Reid.   John McCarthy's kick, at the north end through flimsy, off-kilter, portable goalposts, made the final score 28-22 . . . After Frankford had gone ahead, 22-21, on a 56-yard sprint, and conversion run - yes, the Pioneers eschewed a tying PAT - by Jeffione Thomas at 1:11 . . . After North had gone ahead, 21-14, on an 8-yard, right-corner pass from Reid to Julian Huggins, followed by Reid's conversion surge straight ahead, at 2:28.   Even if it were a meaningless game played before nearly empty stands, Byrd's TD hardly would have qualified as a ho-hummer. It came on third-and-6 and the Falcons, though within field-goal range, were out of timeouts. After leaking out of the backfield, Byrd made the catch in the middle of the field at about the 10. If he'd been tackled, who knows how the Falcons' mad scramble to get everyone into position for a field goal would have turned out?   Byrd caught, turned, decided, sprinted. He wound up in the left corner of the end zone.   "I didn't want to stay in the middle and possibly fumble or get stopped on the 1-inch line," Byrd said. "I saw my man, [wideout] Tre Stone-Davis, over there and I knew he'd come back to give me a block. I used my speed - well, what little I had left [due to a tender ankle] - to get to the end zone.   "Phew, I don't think I'll be able to savor this moment enough."   The ordered play, understandably, considering the circumstances, called for a pass to a sideline or into the end zone.   "I looked and [Byrd] was in my field of vision," Reid said. "Wide open. I had to give it to him."   Said Byrd: "When we came out of the huddle, I said to Anthony, 'If the routes aren't open, throw me the ball. ' I mostly had to stay in blocking on passes today. I put my trust in Anthony. He put his trust in me. I was where I said I'd be. The disciplined quarterback that he is, he found me. Then it was a matter of leaving everything on the field. Being a playmaker."   Frankford's final answer featured a trick-play pass to quarterback Michael McGroarty. Daniel Clark sniffed it out, made the tackle after a 4-yard gain and the Falcons exploded.   Maybe a couple hundred youthful spectators came pouring onto the field to greet the players and all began chanting, "We are, NC! We are, NC!"   Soon, players and coaches were gathering in front of North's filled-to-the-brim stands - the overflow occupied three sections on Frankford's side, plus there were standees four-five deep in front of Wister Hall at one end of the field - to join with students, teachers, grads, everyone imaginable, to belt out the alma mater one last time.   Or was it?   As spectators left the facility, they were handed a single sheet of white paper. The gist: Cardinal Justin Rigali has given permission to North, in conjunction with the Cristo Rey Network, to investigate the possibility of establishing a new independent school on the current site.   "Yup, a U-Turn. That's exactly what we need," Byrd said, smiling. "And what I'm hoping for."   Byrd's totals were 148 rushing yards on 31 carries and 35 yards on five catches.   The stretch run was not alone for drama.   After Clark recovered a fumble at North's 25, the Falcons got a tremendous, stretched-out, tumbling catch from Dave Sherman (54 yards, five catches for 102 yards total) on a drive that ended with sophomore Taishan Tucker's 5-yard scoring run with 8:19 remaining. Tucker was on the field only because Byrd had tweaked his ankle two plays earlier.   North trailed, 14-13. McCarthy came out, blessed himself, flashed a thumbs-up to holder John Ziegler and prepared to kick.   All along, North's fans had been yelling, "Two! Two! Two! " As in, go for two points and the lead. Frankford went offside. The ball moved to the 1 1/2. Again coach Chalie Szydlik was going to lean on McCarthy.   Just before the snap would have taken place, he wildly signaled for time. Byrd re-entered and ran an off-tackle right. He was tripped up in the backfield by Taron "Ra-Ra" Mills - this kid made at least a dozen huge plays all game (like four kick returns totaling 179 yards and three tackles at or behind the line of scrimmage) - and landed at the 1.     continued right below . . .

  The silence on North's side was deafening.
  Frankford's subsequent series yielded just 2 yards on three plays as David D. Williams made two of the stops.
Then it was, Let the excitement intensify!"
  "All game, the defense had been making big plays," Reid said. "Now it was our job to start doing it. This wasn't
just for us. It was for everybody who cares about North.
"I'm not thinking about what might happen to the school, or where I might have to go next year, if it comes to that.
I'm thinking about now and how happy everyone is."
  Szydlik, a Frankford grad, said he'll mostly remember the encouragement his players received from the fans as they
headed to the locker room at halftime, down 14-0 and having looked very unimpressive.
  "That meant so much," he said with emotion. "We fed on that all through halftime and then back out on the field."
The Pioneers' lead had resulted from two scintillating punt returns by Mills, a 67-yard TD and a 49-yarder to set up
a 16-yard run by Tyrell Martin.
  Now, North finally answered to start the third quarter, driving 70 yards in 16 plays for a 1-yard score by Reid.
Reid was 4-for-4 on that drive. On the last three, he went 7-for-9, finishing 19-for-28 for 212 yards.
  After his pass to Huggins (five receptions, 45 yards) was skillfully plucked out of the air, on the 8-yard TD, Reid
ame to the sideline and nearly had the life hugged out of him by a delirious Joe Lawinski, the offensive coordinator.
  "You the man! " Lawinski roared. "You my man. "
  Later, after his TD connection with Byrd, Reid chest-bumped multiple teammates and, while facing North's stands,
yelled at peak volume, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!! "
  "If this is the last game in the series," Szydlik, a 1972 Frankford grad, soon would be saying, "it was a helluva way
to end it. "
  "You couldn't have had a more exciting finish," said Frankford coach Mike Capriotti, also an alumnus ('70).
"Obviously, I wish we were on the other end, but I am happy for Chalie and the alumni and faculty and everybody
ssociated with North Catholic. "
  A classy comment. Nice way to end it.

This story was written in 1997 after Frankford rang up what turned out to be
the most points ever scored in series history . . .

By Ted Silary
Think of the football positions that would be a good fit for a guy nicknamed ``Pitter'' - as in the pitter-patter of
little feet.
  Wideout should quickly come to mind. And then maybe slotback and defensive back and . . . now you're stuck.
  We give you Herbert ``Pitter'' Sample, of Frankford High, who is listed at 5-8, 155 pounds in the program.
  Take off 2 inches, he says. Take off 10 pounds, he says. Now digest the fact that at 5-6, 145 pounds, the position
he plays is fullback.
  "My size? No problem,'' Sample said. "I'm so quick to the hole, those big linemen never have a chance to mess
ith me."
  If it's true, it ain't boasting.
  Sample yesterday rushed 15 times for 131 yards and one touchdown as Frankford pounded archrival North
Catholic, 54-14, before a roaring, standing-room-only crowd of 5,000-plus at windswept Frankford Memorial
Stadium.
  North leads the series, 39-27-4.
  Sample helped to author Pioneer history on his 61-yard, third-quarter touchdown, which raised his season's total
to 1,029 yards. He and franchise halfback Eddie Gaskins (1,734 yards) are the first teammates in Frankford
history to reach 1,000 yards in the same season, and the first in the Public League to do so since Central's Jarrod
Washington and Sundiata Rush in 1988.
  "One-thousand yards? I can't even tell you how I feel about that,'' an overwhelmed Sample said.
  Gaskins could.
  "Herbie, that's my man,'' bubbled Gaskins, who finished with 202 yards and three TDs on 18 carries. ``He's the
people's man. Everybody likes him. Teachers, fans, girls. He has a great personality. He's a funny guy to be
around. And the players know how hard he works.''
  But he's only 145 pounds.
  "Doesn't matter,'' Gaskins said. ``He has the heart of a lion.''
  Early in the fourth quarter, meanwhile, Gaskins finally displayed the heart of a hot dog and that wound up
producing some ugliness.
  With Frankford leading, 47-8, Frankford coach Tom Mullineaux put his first offense back on the field merely
hoping, he said, to melt the clock. Instead, Gaskins exploded for a 53-yard touchdown and made a headlong dive
into the end zone even though the closest defender, Fred Weidenmiller, had no legitimate shot at making a tackle.
  "My brother and a couple old Frankford teammates were telling me, `You never do anything [to show emotion]
when you score,' '' Gaskins said. ``I figured I had to do something for them. It was a one-time thing.''
  On North's next play, Jim Miller caught a swing pass from Brian Kulb (14-for-33, 123 yards) and headed for
Frankford's sideline. Miller roared across the sideline, banged into Mullineaux, tossed the ball at him and
uttered something about Gaskins still being in the game.
  "I couldn't believe it,'' Mullineaux said. "I thought, `This kid's aiming right for me.' What was his problem?''
  Miller was not ejected, but coach Rich Betts did not play him thereafter.
  "Evidently, Miller felt Frankford was running up the score, and he didn't appreciate that,'' Betts said. ``We saw
what he did. We told him, `We don't do that here,' then we put him on the bench and left him there.''
  Of Gaskins's late-game presence on offense, Betts said, ``Frankford has [rolled up scores] all year, so it was
nothing I didn't expect.''
  Incorrect. Mullineaux was guilty of leaving the first team offense on the field too long in a 63-29 win over
Murrell Dobbins Tech last Saturday in a PL semifinal, but before that, he was quick to pull Gaskins and his
playmates whenever a game became even remotely one-sided.
  "I wouldn't try to run up the score,'' he said. ``I don't like those kind of people.''
  The Falcons were so generous in the first half, they must have thought the holiday was Christmas.
  Frankford needed to drive only 20 yards for its first score, Jim Nagle's 6-yard pass to David Kenner, after
Miller fumbled a snap on a punt and was tackled by Doyya Johnson.
  Danny Owens accidently sent his kickoff only 13 yards downfield and Michael Dolbow recovered for
Frankford. Gaskins scored from the 7 eight plays later. Frankford's third and fourth scores capped drives of
only 28 and 5 yards, respectively, after a shanked punt and fumble (forced by Owens, recovered by Carlton
Calhoun).
  "Our guys didn't come to play,'' Betts said. "Turnovers hurt us early, and special teams.''
  Sample was a fan of Frankford football long before he became a player. His brother, Clifford Waddy, was a
fullback in 1995 and his first cousin, Eugene Waddy, was a defensive end in '92.
  Sample and Gaskins grew up around the corner from each other, but they played for rival youth
organizations - Sample for Frankford Chargers, Gaskins for Frankford Boys Club. Though Sample is a
three-year varsity player, this is his first season starting.
  "I didn't have doubts about getting the spot,'' he said. "I'm not big, but I can run. Give me a little opening,
and I'm gone. A team always needs speed. To me, this doesn't seem any different than weight ball. Guys hit
hard, sure, but I've never had to come off the field because of an injury.''
  He did have to yield, though, to the temptation to race against Gaskins.
  "Early this season, we did a 50-yard dash,'' Sample said. "Who won? It was a tie. A flat-out tie."
  Imagine that - Eddie Gaskins being tied in a race by a fullback.
