Consecutive Nights At Gratz
  Gratz 22, King 14: Shawn Williams accounted for all of the Bulldogs' points by rushing for 150 yards and three TDs on 13 carries, and by adding two conversion runs. Shawn "Woozy" Jenkins notched one sack among 13 tackles and Javon Whitfield picked off a pass. King's Jayni Harris turned his pilfer into a 62-yard TD while Nasir Boykin passed 6-for-19 for 102 yards (2,002 for season) and a score to Dominque McNeil (5-87). King's late hopes to tie died just inside the 30; turnover on downs.
  Franklin 36, Washington 19: Kevin Caldwell claimed the Pub record for TD passes in one season (32) by going 16-for-22 for 293 yards and four; Frankford's Tim DiGiorgio had thrown for 30 in 2011. Caldwell's primary targets, for two scores apiece, were Javier Buffalo (6-104) and Rapheal "Macho" Rodriguez (4-107). The latter also ran 55 yards for a TD. These performances left Caldwell and Rodriguez one short of the city records in the respective categories. For Washington, Quadir Cobbs rushed 21 times for 196 yards and two TDs.

  Franklin 36, Gratz 24: The Electrons (nee Poor Richards), champs for the first time since 1966, rolled to a 20-8 lead but found themselves hanging on after a safety (tackle by Shawn "Woozy" Jenkins) brought Gratz within 29-24 with 3:05 remaining. Franklin played solid D and then, on third-and-14, clinched the win with a 75-yard TD pass from Kevin Caldwell to Rapheal "Macho" Rodriguez. That feat gave Rodriguez (5-134) the city record for TD catches in a season (17). In the second quarter, the first of Rodriguez' two TD snags, an 18-yarder, had enabled Caldwell (15-for-25, 295, three) to notch his 34th TD pass of the season; also a city record. He finished the game with 35. In three playoffs, Caldwell passed 36-for-58 (62 percent) for 801 yards and 10 TDs. For Gratz, just as he had in the semis, Luke White lost a fumble on his first carry. He also rebounded strongly this time, bagging 175 yards and a TD on 26 rushes. He added two catches for 40 yards.

Justin Hamilton (18-75) and Tarell McLeod (17-70) were productive rushers. Taqee Ross notched MN's TDs on a kickoff return and an end-zone recovery of an offensive fumble.

In all, 'Tep went 7-for-8 on two-point conversions and their 62 points came within one of tying the city postseason record of 63 (Frankford in a '97 Pub semi).

  Del-Val 52, Strawberry Mansion 0: The mercy-rule clock began running in the first quarter, once the scored reached 38-0, and the final three quarters, in a move supported by both coaches, lasted only seven minutes apiece.

  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.

  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).
