Strus had been named the interim coach in July after Danny Algeo died of a heart attack.
At Upper Darby
  Ryan 27, Bonner-Prendie 14: The Raiders avenged a stinging regular season defeat (B-P posted a TD catch/conversion at 0:00) as Samir Bullock churned for 252 yards and two TDs on 28 carries.

Consecutive nights at Plymouth-Whitemarsh
  SJ Prep 49, Judge 7: The Hawks totaled 262 yards on four long TDs. D'Andre Swift was the cake-taker with a 67-yarder on a screen pass off a double reverse and a 93-yarder on the kickoff that started the second half. John Reid (53 reception) and Dillon DeIuliis (49 interception) joined in the lengthy fun. Judge's Yeedee Thaenrat followed Swift's kickoff return with a 64-yard TD run on the next scrimmage play. Late in the second quarter, SJ Prep's Jake Strain made behind-the-line tackles on three consecutive plays.
  La Salle 49, Roman 0: After scoring four TDs, Nick Rinella capped a special night by soaring for an interception to help preserve the shutout. Rinell's rushing output included 145 yards and three TDs on eight carries. He and Winston Eubanks caught TD tosses from Kyle Shurmur (15-for-22, 173). Jordan Meachum carried nine times for 138 yards and two TDs. Just twice did Roman gain more than 15 yards on a play (31, rush, John Chaney; 38, reception, AJ Frazier).

At Northeast
  SJ Prep 46, La Salle 13: The Hawks broke their own record (45 in '03) for the most points scored in a Catholic final above the AA level, and if not for a failed conversion pass, the final 7:22 would have featured a running clock. After Jimmy Herron scored his second TD (29-yard interception; earlier a 63-yard punt return) to draw La Salle within 14-13 early in the second quarter, the Prep stormed to three scores in 6:12 and the three drives required just six plays. Olamide Zaccheaus (12-146, three TDs) posted the Hawks' first 100-yard rushing performance of the season. D'Andre Swift (9-56, two), James Bell (15-97, one) also scampered for TDs and Jack Clements hit John Reid for a 13-yard score. Reid set up his six-pointer by swatting a punt. Swift netted 127 yards on four returns. Jake Strain batted down four passes and recorded a sack while Nick Vandevere and Joe DuMond made fumble recoveries to set up scores. Herron made five catches for 44 yards, finalizing his career numbers at 156 (city record) and 2,333 (47 yards short of city mark). Earlier he'd claimed the TD record with 33. Kyle Shurmur (14-for-26, 107) finished without a TD pass for the first time in his 22-game career. Final numbers: 379-for-619 for 4,990 yards and 53 TDs.

At Northeast
  SJ Prep 47, Franklin 22: Soph D'Andre Swift made the most of four carries -- 89 yards and three TDs -- as the Hawks seized a second consecutive CT for the first time since 1938-39; those two contests began the series. James Bell (15-113) and Olamide Zaccheaus (8-81, TD) also ran well while John Reid scored once apiece on a catch/interception before suffering a knee injury shortly before halftime. For Franklin, Kevin Caldwell raised his 2014 passing yardage total to 2,893 -- best in city history -- by going 22-for-45 for 359 and three TDs. Rapheal "Macho" Rodriguez turned five snags into 141 yards and two scores. Javier Buffalo (9-151, one) also had great moments. As the teams passed through the postgame handshake line, Franklin assistant Anthony Moorehead yelled to the Prep's contingent, "Bring that trophy back to Philly, baby!"

  Wood 42, Imhotep 34: While winning their seventh consecutive AAA City Title, the Vikings finally experienced a challenge. A 20-0 lead notwithstanding, victory wasn't assured until the waning moments when Alex Arcangeli (20-105, TD) gained two yards on fourth-and-1. Jarrett McClenton ran 25 times for 157 yards and four TDs; his 80-yarder capped a back-and-forth, three-TD explosion in the final 34.7 seconds of the third quarter. For Imhotep, Andre Dreuit-Parks passed 16-for-26 for 299 yards and four TDs, thanks mostly to an electric performance by Denniston "DJ" Moore (7-200, TDs of 88 and 71 yards in the fourth quarter). The Panthers were without their main rusher, Tyliek Raynor (knee injury).

At Gratz
  KIPP DuBois 16, McDevitt 14: After heavy rain made Washington's field unplayable in late morning, the game was switched to Gratz and moved back from 1 to 2 o'clock.

For McDevitt, Max Bryson passed for one TD and ran for another while generating 116 total yards. A pound ball game was held before this one and the possessions of some McDevitt players were stolen out of the locker room.
