eventually comes to and end, right? But how many people outside of those close
to the N-G football program thought that West’s 52-game Catholic League winning
streak (8 straight league championships in Blue, then AA) would end on this
night? Probably no more than a handful, if that, is my guess. In all, counting
the regular season, playoffs, and two subregional contests the Burrs had
frolicked their way to 54 straight league wins that stretched over parts of nine
seasons. During the streak they outscored their opponents 2,284-to-478 (42-to-9
average). Their last lost came in the middle of the ’06 season at the hands of
Conwell-Egan, 26-12. Even this season West had outscored their league opponents
204-to-40 (41-to-8 average) in five games played. In the teams’ first meeting
West scored the games first 30 points before allowing a couple of fourth quarter
scores in a, 30-13, victory. So, how did the Saints beat West for the first time
since ’03 (10 games) and win their first football title since 1954? Simple!
Their leaders played like stars and the complimentary players all made
contributions. Was West overconfident, especially since star sr. QB
Antwain
McCollum returned
to action after suffering a broken lower leg six weeks ago? Maybe a tad, but
yours truly didn’t sense that on the sidelines prior to the game. Plus, thinking
something on those lines might take away from N-G’s great night. Quite frankly,
the Saints outplayed West for large stretches and when given the chance to do
something that no team has done in eight+ seasons, they stepped on the Burrs’
throats and never let go. Ok, we’ll have more on the end-of-the-streak as the
days go by, but for now it’s time to pay homage to the Saints. For my money,
there were a handful of sequences that were instrumental in N-G’s win. First,
West had started the scoring on a 27-yard run by soph. RB
Calil Wortham
after a muffed punt by the Saints (recovery by soph. DB
Ahmad Kent).
Then, on the subsequent kickoff another muff occurred and West’s jr. DB WR/DB
Jameer
Bryson made the
recovery at the N-G 25-yard line. From here, three rushes produced a
1st-and-goal for the Burrs at the 8-yard line. Needing a play sr. DE
Matt McKeown
stripped the ball from Wortham and soph. DE/WR
Emil Moody
recovered and returned it 32 yards to the 47-yard line. If the Burrs cash in
there and go up two scores then it’s possible that the mindsets of both teams
change. The Saints didn’t score off of this turnover, as they stalled at the WC
26-yard line, but they tilted the field and it stayed that way for the remainder
of the half. N-G tied the game early in the second quarter on a 1-yard sneak by
sr. QB
Ray Lenhart. They
would grab the lead with 4:57 left in the half when jr. RB/DB
Khalil Roane,
who was sensational throughout, uncorked a 46-yard gallop. The next huge
sequence for the Saints came after the Burrs had regained the lead to start the
second half. West needed just six plays, all rushes, to travel 65 yards. Wortham
unleashed a 47-yard rumble to begin the drive, then sr. RB/DB
Kharee Ruley
ended it with a 5-yard burst. Ruley also provided the conversion run to give
West a brief, 14-12, lead. I say brief because the Saints only needed four plays
to cover 86 yards on their next series. The key play here was a 55-yard pass
between Lenhart and dynamic soph. WR/DB
Aamir Brown
on a 3rd-and-8 play from the 16-yard line. A roughing the passer call was tacked
on and that brought the ball to the West 14-yard line. From here, jr. RB/DB
Miles
Brewer easily got
the left edge and scampered home. Brewer added the conversion run and N-G took a
20-14 lead with 6:31 left in the third quarter. Another huge moment for the
Saints came on WC’s next possession. The Burrs held the ball for twelve plays
and had a first down at the Saints’ 19 yard line. However, a delay of game on
West pushed them back to the twenty-four. Then, on third down Moody and jr. DL
Amire Tyler
combined to sack
McCollum, who fumbled. N-G’s sr. Ol/DL
Joe D’Emilio
recovered. Soon
after this, the Saints were faced with 3rd-and-8 early in the fourth quarter.
They converted as Lenhart hit Moody along the left sidelines for 24 yards to the
West 37-yard line. Next, N-G would have a 4th-and-5. Again, they made the play
they needed to, as Lenhart calmly and perfectly found sr. WR/DB
Takeem Ford
down the right hash
for a 32-yard score with 8:23 left. Great throw! West would fail to convert on
fourth down from the N-G 48-yard line on their next chance. For the Saints there
was only one thing left to do. Cement this baby! Again, on third down they came
up with a gigantic play. This time Roane raced 40 yards to the West 5-yard line.
Two plays later, Brewer slid in from the one. Hey, Brewer touched the ball three
times and every time he found the end zone (One conversion). Talk about making
the most out of your chances. West had a late chance to score, but failed to do
so. As the final seconds began to wind off the clock it was easy to predict how
the Saints and their fans would react. Extreme jubilation! And rightfully so.
The Saints ran 54 plays and amassed 383 impressive yards on a Burrs’ defense
that in five other league games only allowed a total of 393 yards on 204 plays.
Phew! The 32 points scored by the Saints is the most scored against West in a
league game since 2002 when they beat Neumann, 55-48, in a wild playoff game.
This was a 87-game span! Only one other team had reached as much as 30 points
against West in this time (Wood, 30-12, in ’05 final). As I said earlier, there
are many headliners for the Saints on this night, but right at the top of the
list is Roane, who used patience and savvy in turning 31 totes into 209 yards.
Only seven times during the streak did West yield a 100-yard rusher and the top
rusher here only went for 143 yards (Wood’s
Bob DeLucas
in ’07). Talk about getting hot at the right time, but Roane has set a
season-high in rushing yards in each of the last four weeks; 110 (vs McDevitt),
162 (vs LC), 170 (vs LC), and the 209 tonight. Roane’s totals pushed him over
the 1,000-yard barrier. The first N-G rusher since 2006 (Mark
McPherson - 1,306)
to accomplish this. Congrats! He had plenty of help from the boys up front in
this one. I’m almost certain that the N-G staff would state that this was the
OL’s best performance of the season. These members included: sr. C
Mario
DelVecchio, G’s jr.
Rashid
Saunders and jr.
Naquise
Childs, and T’s
D’Emilio and jr.
Pat Banning.
Rugged sr. FB/LB
Michael
DiFrancesco blocked
feverishly throughout, as did McKeown at TE before leaving with a knee injury.
Best wishes to Matt. Lenhart finished 6-for-14 for 164 yards. He went 4-for-4,
for 113 yards in the second half. He was in control and settled all night. The
brassy Brown notched four catches for 108 yards. Defensively, DiFrancesco led
with 8 tackles (7 solos). Jr. LB
Fabian
Matthews was solid
and next with seven stops. The rangy Moody was active with 1.5 sacks, while
forcing one fumble (Recovered by Ford) and recovering another. Also contributing
were; Brewer (six tackles), Tyler and sr. LB
Jack Taylor
who evenly split eight stops, sr. DL
Joe Herrin
(injured in 2nd
half) notched a sack, and Brown made three stops and had three pass defends in
the secondary. For West, emotions really let out at the end of this one. In some
cases it was tough to watch. The Burrs played without sr. WR/DB
Ahkil Crumpton
(school related issue) and it’s hard to imagine that his absence wasn’t felt. As
mentioned, McCollum returned and though he looked healthy, rust was evident. He
only managed a single yard on 21 plays where he was directly involved (1-for-10,
18 yards passing). He took the loss very hard, but needs to remember that he had
a terrific career that witnessed him become the school’s all-time leading
passer. Keep your head up, kid. Wortham paced the offense with 123 yards on 16
carries, while Ruley (9-49) and jr. RB Sharif Fennell (3-53) posted
respectable numbers. Interestingly, West’s 14-season streak of producing a
1,000-yard rusher, easily the longest amongst city teams, came to end. Let’s
stick the knife in a little further. Smile! Ruley ended the season with 881
yards. On defense, West was led by jr. LB
Amir Postley
and sr. DB
Dave Swen
who each posted nine stops. Jr. DL
Tymir Oliver
registered a sack and two other TFLs. Ruley added six tackles, while jr. DB
Craig
Jones notched five
stops and four pass defends. Sr. LB
Neil Satterwhite
had a sack.
Neumann-Goretti will play Prep Charter this coming weekend for the D-12 2A City
Title.

EDBIT
This is the first time in the TedSilary.com era that every Inter-Ac
team can boast of having a 1,000-yard passer. Over the last three seasons, out
of 18 chances, the league has produced 15 1,000-yard passers. In the previous 12
years, that number was 23. Last year, I-A passing yards totaled 9,102. The next
closest total was 7,023 in 2009. This year's total is already 8,919 (counting
yards by subs).
Note from Ted: This is the first season ever for 1,000-yard passers at
all I-A schools.

NON-LEAGUE
West Catholic 18, Ryan 7
Over the past three
games, Ryan star sr. RB
Samir Bullock
had literally run
wild over opposing defenses. He had amassed 856 yards rushing, including 674 in
the last two weeks with a pair of 300+ yard outings. So, when he carried 9 times
for 43 yards, and a 2-yard score on Ryan’s first drive, I’m sure many in
attendance thought here we go again. Not so fast! The Burrs' defense adjusted
and pretty much held the talented Bullock at bay for the next three-and-a-half
quarters. Using a team approach, with spirited play, the Burrs made Bullock work
for everything he got. Bullock did manage 99 yards, but needed 28 totes to do
so, and only managed 56 yards on 19 carries after that first drive (11-26 in 2nd
half). Also, just once did the speedy, shifty back manage more then 10 yards on
a single carry. West’s defense was excellent in shutting out the Raiders over
the final 42:49 and holding them to 132 yards on 53 plays. Rotation members on
the D-line consisted of: Jr.
Tymir Oliver
(5 tackles), sr.
Jeromy
Reichner (6
tackles), soph.
Savion Perez,
jr.
Charles Trabi, and
sr.
Greg Nathaniel.
Linebacker members were sr.
Neil
Satterwhite, jr.
Amir Postley
(7 tackles), soph.
Marque McDuffy
(8 stops), jr.
Curtis
Fredrick, and sr.
Demond
Brunache (sack). In
the secondary, they used sr.
Kharee Ruley
(8 tackles; 2 pass defends), sr.
Dave Swen
(9 stops, 8 solos, INT, & 4 pass defends), sr.
Ahkil Crumpton,
jr.
Craig Jones, and
soph.
Ahmad Kent. This
group earned their keep tonight. Well done! Offensively, the Burrs methodically
churned out 291 yards. Jr. QB
Josh Holsopple
continued to fill
in admirably for injured sr.
Antwain
McCollum, and most
likely had his strongest performance of the season. He finished 10-for-15, for
112 yards. All three of West scores went to soph. RB
Calil Wortham
(12-41) on
short runs of 3, 3, and 6 yards. The Burrs got on the board with 4:49 left in
the second quarter. They started the drive at the Ryan 33-yard line after a fake
punt went awry. Holsopple hit Jones for 13 yards, then ran for 8 & 3 yards to
put the ball at the Ryan 9-yard line. Wortham scored his first TD two plays
after this. The Burrs would have another golden opportunity to take the lead
after Swen returned an interception to the Ryan 6-yard line. Alas, they were
faced with a 4th-and-inches near the goal line, but a procedure call pushed the
ball back to the five. Finally, a pass to the end zone was broken up/dropped and
Ryan survived the scare. West’s go-ahead drive started late in the third quarter
at Ryan’s 24-yard line. After one first down out to the forty-two, the Burrs
were hit with a personal foul penalty which brought them back to the
twenty-seven and facing a 2nd-and-19. From here, Ruley (13-116) ripped-off a 59
yard run to the Ryan 14-yard line. A horse collar and another personal foul at
the end of the run brought the ball to the three-yard line. Wortham scored from
here to make it, 12-7, with 1:23 left in the quarter. West’s game-sealing drive
started with 6:23 left in the game and starting from their 20-yard line. Key
plays included a 33-yard connection between Holsopple and Crumpton on a
3rd-and-6 chance. Crumpton (60 yards on 7 touches) made a terrific catch over a
bigger defender in the middle of the field. Two plays later, Crumpton took a
reverse for 13 yards to the Ryan 29-yard line. From here, Wortham rushed for 4
yards, Ruley for 5 and 14 yards, and then Wortham again for a 6-yard score with
2:06 left. Ryan would reach the West 40-yard line, but four incompletions ended
the game with :53 seconds left. For Ryan, Romano went 5-for-18, for 39 yards.
Defensively, sr. LB/FB
Bobby McDevitt
played a strong game with 12 tackles (9 solos; sack). Sr. DB
Seneca
Williams and jr. LB
Jason Wagher
evenly split 14 stops. Ryan will have week off next week before tangling with
Bonner-Prendie in one 3A semifinal. The Burrs will take on Conwell-Egan next
Saturday at O’Hara. It will be part of the PCL 2A semifinals; with
Lansdale/Neumann-Goretti in the other game. Meaningful games are right around
the corner. Man, where did this season go?

CATHOLIC AA
West Catholic 41, Conwell-Egan 0
Two major miscues
at the end of Conwell-Egan’s first two drives spotted the Burrs a pair of
touchdowns and from here they methodically pulled away in the second half.
First, C-E’s jr. QB/DB
Jarrett Patman
fumbled while being sacked by sr. LB
Neil
Satterwhite with
soph. LB
Marque McDuffy
making the recovery at the C-E 35-yard line. West did need nine plays to cover
the necessary yardage, as sr. RB/DB
Kharee Ruley
trotted in from the one-yard line. Three plays earlier, Ruley converted a
3rd-and-10 with a 18-yard dash on a delay through the middle. C-E’s next
possession ended with a three-and-out and a punt. The punt ended up being a good
one with the ball rolling out of bounds around the West 30-yard line. However,
C-E was called for holding on the play and had to punt over again. The Burrs
brought the house and when the punter briefly bobbled the ball it forced him
avoid the rush. West sr. DB
David Swen
tripped up the punter at the one-yard line, as the play lost 14 yards. On the
next play, Ruley provided his second TD in as many possessions. From here, the
Eagles hung tough into the second half. They actually forced a Burr punt to
start the half. Then, courtesy of two West 15-yard penalties moved the ball down
to the Burrs’ 20-yard line. Alas, the drive would stall here as jr. DL
Tymir Oliver
and jr. DE
Curtis
Fredrick combined
to sack Patman and McDuffy batted down a fourth down pass. To start West’s next
series Ruley raced around the right edge 48 yards to the C-E 25-yard line. Three
plays later, West converted a 3rd-and-13 when jr. QB
Josh Holsopple
hit a wide open jr. WR
Jameer Bryson
down the middle of the field for a 28-yard score. The following kickoff produced
a muff, as Swen belted the C-E return man trying to field the kick on a bounce.
Jr. DB
Justin Bryant made
the recovery at the C-E 17-yard line. Four plays after this soph. RB
Calil Wortham
bulled in from the one to make the score, 27-0. Fourth quarter touchdowns for
the Burrs were provided by sr. WR/DB
Ahkil Crumpton
on a 39-yard speed sweep and a 9-yard rush by jr. RB
Sharif Fennell.
The Burrs defense dominated throughout and held the Eagles to just 35 yards on
38 plays. C-E’s only passing yards came on the game’s last play, as Patman hit
soph. TE/LB
Brandon Cohen
for ten yards. The Burrs had five sacks in the game and eleven totals plays that
went for negative yardage. Sacks went to Satterwhite (two), McDuffy (6 total
stops), jr. LB
Amir Postley
(5 tackles), and the one
split by Oliver (6 tackles) and Fredrick. Swen added five stops, while jr. DB
Craig
Jones made an
interception. Jones also went 5-for-5 on PATs. I’m pretty sure you have to go
back to the ’08 season to find out when the last time this happened. West used a
running back by committee and received solid production from Ruley (12-88),
Fennell (8-56), and Wortham (10-48). Holsopple ended 6-for-15, for 59 yards.
This marked the eighth straight season the Burrs have finished the regular
season unbeaten in league play. For C-E, sr. RB/LB
Joe Ruggiero
played a solid game on both sides of the ball. He finished with 62 yards on 17
carries. He had a nifty 27-yard scamper in the early-going. Later he added
roughly a 50-yard run on a reverse, but the play was wiped out on an illegal
block. Only five other plays not involving Ruggiero went for positive yards and
those only accounted for a total 17 yards. On defense, Ruggiero notched a sack
amongst his six total stops. Sr. LB
Wyett McLeod
and soph. DL
Keanan Baines
(6’2”, 285-lbs) evenly split fourteen tackles. Meanwhile, jr. DB
Danny Taylor
and Cohen evenly split ten stops.
OCT. 17
CATHOLIC AAA
Wood 56, Bonner-Prendie 7
On the game’s first
play from scrimmage Wood lined up in their traditional heavy look and ran a toss
to star sr. RB/DB
Jarrett
McClenton. OK, so
you see the final score and now you’re probably thinking that McClenton dashed
in for a long score, right? Not so fast. He managed just a yard, as jr. DB
Shaun Douglas
and soph. LB
Hunter Ragin
combined on the stop to excite the home faithful. In hindsight, that was
probably mistake. How so? Well, on the next play the Vikings and jr. QB
Anthony Russo
went to the air. Then they did it again. And again. And again... Man, what an
assault this young man put forth. Russo went onto toss SEVEN touchdown passes.
Yes, seven! All came in the first half. Phew! This tied a city record with
Germantown Academy’s
Sean Grieve
in ’02 and Springside Chestnut Hill’s
Paul Dooley
last season.
Interestingly, those guys did it over four quarters in shootouts. GA bested Hun
School in Grieve’s, 55-44. While Dooley fell to Malvern, 63-50, in a wild one a
year ago. I’m not sure what amazes me more. The fact that all of Russo’s TD
passes came in one half, or that Wood’s powerful rushing attack actually went
seven scores without finding the end zone a single time. There final score last
week was also a TD pass. So, that’s a streak of eight via the pass. I can’t
imagine that this program has ever had a string of eight consecutive touchdowns
come on passes. Crazy, huh? Russo went 5-for-5, for 225 yards in the first
quarter alone. Four of these completions went for touchdowns. First, he hit a
WIDE OPEN
Christian Lohin
downfield for a 61-yard
score. Next, he found soph. WR/DB
Mark Webb
with a picture-perfect strike on a 53-yard fly pattern. Touchdown #3 came on a
12-yard swing pass to McClenton (Tremendous block on the outside by sr. G
Tom Cardozo).
Closing out the first quarter carnage was a 70-yard heave to sr. TE/LB
Jake Cooper.
Two plays into the second quarter the onslaught continued, as Russo completed
his sixth pass in as many tries for his fifth TD. And talk about spreading the
love. This one went to jr. WR
James
Gillespie for 53
yards. If you’re scoring at home then you’ll notice that his first six
completions went to six different players. The lone player not to find the end
zone was sr. FB
Alex Arcangeli
on a 29-yard catch. B-P briefly restored some order when sr. QB
Collin DiGalbo
rumbled in from
three yards to make it, 35-7, with 2:53 left in the half. But any thoughts
of a comeback were quickly squashed, as Wood went 77 yards on five plays on
their subsequent drive. Again, the Russo-to-Gillespie combo found the end zone.
This one covered 42 yards. Soon after, Webb was making a spectacular
over-the-shoulder interception, his second of the game. This led to Russo’s
final scoring pass of the contest with no time left on the first half clock.
This time he found Lohin for 9-yards on a nicely executed drag route across the
end zone. All total, Russo passed 11-for-15, 369 yards. Yes, that shattered a
Wood passing record, which was previously held by
Joey Monaghan
(295 yards) in ’10. Their were major breakdowns in B-P’s secondary throughout
the night, as many of Russo’s targets were running free. Still, he showed some
nice zip and a dynamite deep ball throughout. It was almost effortless. Also,
check these numbers out. In the last two weeks Wood has outscored their
opponents 97-13 in the opening half. Russo has played three quarters in these
two games and is a mind-boggling, 21-for-27, with 526 yards and 9 TDs. Gillespie
ended with 4 catches for 111 yards. With the running clock going in the second
half the Vikes found the end zone one more time. Soph. RB
Shawn Thompson
(6-40) provided this with a one-yard plunge. For the second straight week
McClenton’s (6-21) exploits weren’t really needed. However, he did provide a
terrific highlight-reel type play that was wiped out on a penalty. Showing
excellent concentration and good hands, he calmly made a terrific
over-the-shoulder catch on a deep punt. He bobbed and weaved 92 yards for the a
score. Alas, an illegal block-in-the-back wiped it out. Wood’s line was once
again beastly. this unit included: sr. C
Jack Kenney,
G’s Cardozo and sr.
Shawn Scroger,
T’s sr. Ryan Bates and jr. Kurt Stengel, with sr.
Dan Coyle
rotating in. Defensively, jr. LB/DE
Mack Scwartz
(6 totals stops) notched a pair of sacks. Lohin also added a first half
sack. In the second half, frosh. LB
Adrian Lambert
twice forced fumbles. One came on a sack that lost 20 yards. These recoveries
were made by jr. DL
Mike
Hoelsworth and
soph. DB
Rhys Vaughn.
Cooper and jr. LB
Sebastian
Silva evenly split
ten tackles. For B-P, their do-everything DiGalbo only played in the first half
and had sporadic success. He rushed 14 times for 45 yards, while only passing
3-for-12, for 17 yards. Defensively, jr. LB
Ryan George,
S. Douglas, and soph. DB
Brandon
Bettole each made
four tackles. B-P only mustered up 89 yards of offense on 44 plays. Meanwhile,
Wood rolled to 476 yards on 37 plays. Penn St. Head Coach
James Franklin
made a brief appearance and even had time to snap off a few pictures with people
in attendance. Included in this were members of the Bonner baseball coaching
staff: Joe DeBarberie,
John “Lefty”
McCauley, and
others. I believe this pic is being sent to
Ted
for TS.com exposure. Smile.

CATHOLIC AA
West Catholic 39, McDevitt 6
So, Halloween is still a
few weeks away, right? You would have never known it tonight as the Burrs and
Lancers did battle at Cheltenham H.S. Man, did we have some strange, eerie, and
bizarre-like happenings in this one. For starters, the underdog Lancers scored
first. Sr. RB/DB Vincent DiLeo burrowed in from the five to cap a
10-play, 65-drive. Three Burrs’ penalties, including a pair of fifteen yarders
(West ended with 13 penalties for 110 yards) aided the cause. However, the
Lancers key play was a 20-yard pass play to a lineman. How so? A left-side wide
receiver screen was blown up by a West defender almost immediately, but somehow
the ball deflected right to frosh. OL
Jayvonne
Campfield, who
rumbled down the sidelines for a 20-yard pick-up on a 3rd-and-16 play. Just like
they drew it up, right? Ok, ready for a stat oddity? McDevitt would end up
running 20 first quarter plays to just one for the Burrs. Yet, they somehow
trailed, 12-6, after one quarter. After DiLeo’s score, West’s sr. RB/DB
David Swen
sped untouched 93 yards along the left hash for an easy kickoff return. McDevitt
did drive to the Burrs’ 39-yard line on their next drive, but soph. QB
Max Bryson
fumbled while being sacked by sr. LB
Demond Brunache.
Ultimately, the ball was kicked backwards and when West jr. OL/DL
Tymir Oliver
fell on the rock the play had lost 31 yards. From here, West’s only play of the
opening quarter was turned in by sr. RB/DB
Kharee Ruley,
who zipped 40 yards untouched for a score. As we entered the second quarter the
bizarre took over. Each team had three possessions, and each of them ended with
a punt. Ok, that’s not that off. But did a extenuating circumstance play a part
in offensive ineptness? You be the judge. For approximately 8-minutes of game
time and probably 15 minutes of actual time all in attendance were treated to a
fireworks show from nearby Arcadia College. It was McDevitt’s Homecoming and one
report was that the fireworks were supposed to go off during halftime to enhance
the celebration. Another had it as being Alumni Day at Arcadia. Whatever the
reason it was extremely strange. It was loud and eventually smoke from the
display staked claim to the field area. Believe it or not, but there were
actually two fireworks shows in the area. The Arcadia one was the longest and
extensive, but catty corner from them, and over the school, a nearby carnival
shot some off, too. Needless to say there was no scoring in the second stanza.
As for the second half, it was all Burrs. They got much needed separation after
taking the opening possession of the third quarter 67 yards on 10 plays. Early
on, Swen ripped-off a 21-yard run to the BM 39-yard line. Later, jr. QB
Josh Holsopple
found Ruley in the flat for 16 yards to the 9-yard line. Two plays later Ruley
trotted in from the one. After a Lancers’ three-and-out and punt the Burrs were
in business again. Wasting little time, Ruley took their first play of this
drive 55 yards on a toss to the right. Holsopple found a wide open jr. WR/DB
Jameer
Bryson
for the conversion to make the score, 26-6, with 5:08 left in the third quarter.
The Burrs would cruise from here. Early in the fourth quarter Holsopple dumped a
screen to Ruley, who motored 31 yards for his fourth score of the game. After
their first series McDevitt’s offense really struggled. They managed a
respectable 46 yards on that opening drive, but from that point only mustered up
just ten yards on their next 32 plays. Sr. WR/RB/DB
Stephen Leach
broke this string of misery with a shifty 39-yard sprint to the West 6-yard
line. With a feel-good score in sight disaster struck on the next play. DiLeo,
now playing quarterback, casually tossed a flare in Leach’s direction to the
right. However, a West defender stepped in front of the pass and easily picked
it off and raced 89 yards for the final score of the game. I had to double-check
who it was afterwards because by this time a thick, dense fog had taken over the
stadium. Yep, just add this to the strangeness of the night. Alas, it was
Brunache, who earlier had the key sack and forced fumble, that made the
pick-six. Oh yeah, but speaking of strange, the Burrs converted a point-after
kick following the score. Jr. K/WR/DB
Craig Jones
did the honors, as he somehow had enough juice to get the ball thru the fog.
Smile! This was WC’s first made PAT since Game #4 in the ’12 season. Also versus
McDevitt. Since then they had played 25 games and scored 114 touchdowns without
a successful PAT. West gained 248 of their 305 yards in the second half. Ruley
finished with 136 yards on 10 carries. Jr.
Shariff
Fennell (4-39) and
Swen (5-39) chipped in rushing the ball. Holsopple finished 5-for-9, for 74
yards. Defensively, West allowed just 105 yards on 49 plays. Oliver had two
sacks amongst his ten total stops. Brunache hustled for 7 tackles. Jr. DE
Curtis
Fredrick added a
sack and another TFL. Sr. DL
Jeromy
Reichner (five; 2
TFLs) and soph. DL
Savion Perez
(six; 3 TFLs) were active along the line of scrimmage. Sr. LB
Neil
Satterwhite chipped
in with five stops. Swen blocked a PAT. For McDevitt, Bryson passed 8-for-12 for
53 yards. Leading rusher DiLeo had a tough night and could only manage 21 yards
on 18 carries. Leach led with 3 totes for 48 yards. Defensively, jr. LB
Tyler Shelton
led with 7 tackles. Leach (sack) and Campfield evenly split eight tackles. Sr.
K/P
Brendan Hanagan
punted six times for a respectable 34.0 average.

CATHOLIC AAA
Wood 48, O’Hara 6
On the opening
kickoff a couple of Wood return guys struggled to get their paws on the the
ball, and the Vikings were forced to start the game deep at their 13-yard line.
Undoubtedly, the undermanned Lions viewed this as a positive start.
Unfortunately, for O’Hara, good vibes would end there. The Vikings needed just
six plays to travel the 87 yards for the game’s first score. They were just
getting started, as they found payturf five more times in that opening quarter
in building a insurmountable, 41-0, lead. During this foray three O’Hara
turnovers and a misfire on a fake punt allowed the Vikes to grab very manageable
field position. They had little problem covering the needed distances. As most
know by now, the Vikings are a powerful running team. Quite frankly, they often
foam at the mouths in slamming the ball down opponent’s throats. However,
tonight it was work-on-the-passing-game time. Twelve of the fourteen offensive
plays they ran in the first quarter were passes. To start the game, jr. QB
Anthony
Russo connected on
4-for-5 for 84 yards. From here, sr. RB/DB
Jarrett
McClenton sped in
from the 8-yard line on a left-side toss. Sr. DE
Jeff Panara
forced a fumble on O’Hara’s first possession, with jr. LB
Sebastian
Silva making the
recovery at the Lions’ 30-yard line. Two plays later Russo found soph. WR
Mark Webb
(3-46) alone down the middle of the field for an easy-as-pie 29-yard score.
After a pass on a fake punt fell incomplete, once again the Vikes were in
business at the O’Hara 34-yard line. On first down, Russo found sr. WR
John Hall
for 26 yards to the 8-yard line. On the next play, he hit Webb on a right-side
fade for touchdown #3. O’Hara’s next two possessions ended with fumbles. First,
sr. DL Ryan
Bates made a
recovery on a fumble forced by Silva. Four plays after this, McClenton scooted
in from the 10-yard line. Then, when a backwards pass went awry, Panara easily
scooped up the loose pigskin and rumbled in from the seventeen. Closing out the
scoring was McClenton on a don’t-blink-or-you-might-miss-it 56-yard punt return.
The speedy McClenton turned all three of his touches into scores. I’m not sure
he was touched on any of them. Russo finished 10-for-12, for 157 yards in just
quarter’s worth of action. Jr. WR
James
Gillespie made 5
catches for 42 yards. Wood’s back-ups would provide their final score midway
through the second quarter. Soph. QB
Collin
Gillespie hit jr.
WR Joe
Davis on a
10-yard slant. Earlier in the drive, soph. RB/DB
Dan Freeman
ripped off a
47-yard run. With Wood reserves in the game, the Lions would avoid the shutout
late in the first half. Sr. RB
Max Ferguson
(17-65) had runs of 16 & 13 yards, then soph. QB
Tommy O’Hara
hit sr. WR/DB
Darell Jackson
(3-33) for a 21-yard score. The second half flew by with the clock running.
Defensively, the Vikings had some dominant moments in the opening quarter. Jr.
DE Mack
Schwartz made
tackles (3 solos; 1 split) on four straight kickoff returns. He also added four
other stops; including a half-of-sack in that opening quarter. Sr. DL
Devon Cobb
shared the sack with Schwartz. Freeman hustled for six stops (4 solos). Soph. LB
Matt
Arcidiacono and
soph. DL
Joe Broderick
split a sack in the second half. Meanwhile, jr. DE
Pat Carroll
was active with six
tackles (5 solos). For O’Hara, sr. QB/DB
Brandon
Laughlin dinged his
wrist/hand early and left after only two incompletions. O’Hara relieved him and
finished 5-for-10 for 46 yards. Jackson added an interception in the second
half. Jr. LB
Jimmy Tulskie
notched a late sack. Soph. DL
Des Holmes
and sr. DL
John D’Amico
(2 TFLs) evenly split eight stops. Usual Wood kicker sr. Dan McDonald was
missing due to a soccer game. Sr. Chris Baker handled the point-after
duties and finished 6-for-7. Soph. RB Shawn Thompson (3-30) handled the
kickoffs.

NON-LEAGUE
La Salle 35, Wood 31
Man, what a game!
Playing before a massive crowd at William Tennent High School in Warminster, the
Explorers and Vikings gave all in attendance a whale of contest. Quite frankly,
it was simply a fantastic game and for my money one of the best these eyes have
ever witnessed. For recap purposes let’s fast forward to the last play of the
first half. Moments earlier the Explorers had deadlocked things (14-14) on a sr.
QB Kyle
Shurmur to sr.
WR/DB Jimmy
Herron 8-yard
scoring pass. Ahem, these two were just getting started. Anyhow, only 24.2
seconds remained in the half. Soon after, Wood speedy sr. RB/DB
Jarrett
McClenton returned
the ensuing kickoff to the 29-yard line. Then, he took a hand-off and zipped,
bobbed, weaved, and dashed his way to the LaSalle 32-yard line with a 39-yard
run. This gave him 229 rushing yards to this point. Just over a second remained
on the game clock, so Wood Head Coach
Steve Devlin
summoned sr. K/P
Dan McDonald
onto the field for a field
goal attempt of 49 yards. McDonald’s struck the ball well and somehow it found
its way to the crossbar, where it clanged upward, and calmly toppled over the
right side. Extremely cool moment. As you would suspect the Wood faithful
erupted and one could sense that momentum was once again snatched by the home
team. Guess what? This momentum thought was indeed correct. La Salle ran just
nine plays (0-for-3 via pass; 6 rushes for 9 yards) on three possessions to
begin the second half. The first two ended with short punts and with Wood having
possession on the La Salle side of the field. Both times they capitalized by
finding the end zone. First, the Vikings needed just four plays to cover 42
yards on a 30-yard pass play from jr. QB
Anthony Russo
to sr. TE/LB
Jake Cooper.
Next, they needed just four plays to cover 43 yards; capped by a McClenton
8-yard dash. This made the score 31-14 Vikings with 4:05 left in the third. So,
when La Salle’s third possession ended with them in punt formation, one had to
believe that Wood would ease into a convincing victory. But not so fast, for at
this time the drama police entered the stadium. La Salle’s jr. P/K
Mike Raczak
lofted a punt down the middle of the field and when it landed it hit an
unsuspecting Wood player, who had his back to the play. Jr. LB
Sam Hardy
pounced quickly and the Explorers were given new life. And boy did they seize
the opportunity. First, they needed ten plays to cover 50 yards to make the
score 31-21 on the first play of the fourth quarter. The scoring play featured
Shurmur-to-Herron for 12 yards on a left-side WR screen. The Vikings did manage
one first down when they took over, but a mishandle on a center exchange stymied
the drive and soon they were forced to punt; their only of the game. Taking over
at their 34-yard line, Shurmur found Herron going left-to-right, and the nifty
Herron sped down the sidelines for a 49-yard gain to the Wood 17-yard line. A
few plays later, the Vikings were called for a pass interference call on a
right-side fade to Herron. Then, on third down, Shurmur hit Herron on a
well-timed slant from the five to make it, 31-28, with 5:41 left. More good
fortune would go LaSalle’s way on Wood’s first play of their subsequent
possession. McClenton scampered down field for a gain of 20 yards, but at the
end of the play fumbled on a hit by sr. RB/LB
Jordan Meachum.
Tough break for the talented McClenton, as he was otherwise brilliant
throughout. I was situated on the Wood sideline at the time, so I have no idea
how close the ball came to going out of bounds, or who made the recovery. All
you saw was an erupting La Salle sideline. The officials huddled briefly, but
promptly awarded LS the ball with 5:19 left. Guess who did the recovering? Yep,
it was Herron. How many game-changing moments does this kid have in career? Good
buddy, Matt
“Cauls” McCauley
was on hand taking clutch photos and offered to walk over to retrieve the
recovering info. Good hustle, Cauls. Ok, so La Salle resumed play with the ball
at their 44-yard line. It took them just two plays to snatch their first lead of
the game. First, Shurmur connected with Meachum for 11 yards in the left-side
flat. Then, he found a streaking Herron going from left-to-right across the
middle. The picture perfect toss allowed Herron to get wide and down the
sidelines thanks to some solid down-the-field blocking by teammates. The play
covered 45 yards and LS led with 4:50 left. Wood started their final gasp at
their 32-yard line. They reached La Salle’s 45-yard line after a pair for first
downs. However, they missed a golden opportunity to get even closer, if not
score. On a third-and-inches chance from LS’ 47-yard line, a play-action pass
saw Cooper streak wide open across the field, and roughly at the LaSalle 25-yard
line. Alas, Russo’s pass was off the mark and a few yards too long. They did
manage to get a new set of downs on a Russo sneak on fourth down, but their last
four plays were all misfires on passes. The sequence went like this. Jr. RB/DB
Nick
Rinella snuffed out
a left-side wheel route intended for jr. WR/DB
Gianna Cruel.
Then, Herron and sr. DB
Mike Crone
tagged-teamed a post pass meant for soph. WR/DB
Mark Webb.
Next, a screen pass for McClenton fell harmlessly to the ground. Finally, a deep
slant to sr. WR/LB
Justin Rubin
was broken up by Herron with 54 seconds left. Again, who else??? A couple of
knees ended it. Shurmur finished 19-for-31, for 274 yards and four scores. He
was 9-for-13, for 154 yards on La Salle’s final three scoring drives. Herron
made 8 catches for 132 yards. Meachum combined for 70 yards of rushing/receiving
and added a 4-yard rushing TD. Jr. WR
Winston
Eubanks was active
with 4 grabs for 50 yards. Shurmur now has 4,088 career yards in just 17 games
played. Herron became the 15th city player to catch four touchdowns in a game
and is now just the 6th receiver to eclipse 2,000 yards (2,087) in a career. La
Salle managed 317 yards of offense. Defensively, sr. LB
Aiden Kerrigan
made a game-high 10 tackles (8 solos) and was rock solid throughout. Meachum
added eight stops (6 solos), while jr. DL
Anthony
Piscopo (six), sr.
DL
Fletcher Grady
(five), and sr. LB
Ryan Brady
(four) were active. For Wood, McClenton finished with 293 yards on 27 carries.
Last week, he eclipsed the 3,000-yard barrier. Amazingly, he is averaging 10.2
yards per carry for his career (330 rushes for 3,380 yards). Wow! Sr. FB
Alex Arcangeli
chipped in with 60
yards on 10 totes. Cooper turned his four touches into 61 yards and a TD.
Defensively, Cooper was impressive with a team-high 8 tackles (two TFLs). Jr. LB
Mack
Scwartz notched
a sack. Soph. DB
Dan Freeman
hustled for six stops, while Rubin and jr. LB
Ryan Barrett
evenly split eight tackles. Wood’s talented sr. C
Ryan Neher
was out with a
break in the wrist area. Earlier today website leader
Ted Silary
posted one of his cool Tedbits. This was the the first meeting by these teams
since 1998. La Salle has now won 13 straight meetings between the teams. Also,
he included yardage highs in the series since 1984. Tonight, new high marks were
set in all three categories: passing, rushing, and receiving.

SEPT. 26
CATHOLIC AA
West Catholic 40, Lansdale Catholic 21
After four weeks of tough, to extremely tough competition,
the Burrs were probably looking forward to the start of league play. After all,
they had won 49 straight versus league foes dating back to the middle of the ’06
season. In the end, they were able to garner their 50th straight victory over a
league opponent (36 regular season, 12 playoffs, 2 subregional), but it was not
without a fight. LC is mostly a young squad, but they are well-coached and do a
very good job of staying within themselves. Not too often will you see the LC
staff put their kids in positions that really don’t suit their abilities. This
mindset can typically give you a chance. So, even though the Crusaders never did
lead in the game, they did enter the fourth quarter only down, 26-21. For game
recap purposes we’ll start here. LC made it a five point game after an
impressive 16-play, 64-yard drive that ate up 7:09 of game clock. During this
series the Crusaders converted a 3rd-and-10 (13-yard run by frosh. RB Matt
Casee), a 4th-and-1 (3-yard run by jr. RB/DB Ryan Quigley), a
4th-and-12 (23-yard pass to 2-yard line from sr. QB/DB Joe Pinzka to
Quigley), and lastly a 3rd-and-8 when Pinzka hit sr. TE/LB Eddie McKee
for an 8-yard touchdown. Alas, the Burrs would seize control for good some
after. Sr. RB/DB Kharee Ruley, who ran outstandingly all night,
ripped-off a 31-yard return to the LC 40-yard line on the ensuing kickoff. Soon
after, on a fourth down play from the one-yard line, jr. QB Josh Holsopple
was initially stopped on a sneak attempt. However, he neatly tossed the ball to
soph. RB Calil Wortham (11-35), who pranced into the end zone. LC would
advance the ball to the WC 24-yard line, but a fourth down Pinzka pass caromed
off a lineman. From here, the Burrs would need just six plays to find payturf.
Sr. RB/DB David Swen had a 13-yard run, while Ruley rumbled 22 and 30
yards before providing a 3-yard touchdown with 5:06 left. LC’s last gasp ended
with a interception by jr. DB Craig Jones, who returned it 42 yards for a
score, but an illegal blocked wiped it out. West used four more running plays to
exhaust the clock. West was without dynamic sr. QB Antwain McCollum, who
will be sidelined for up to 6 weeks with a small crack to the fibula. Everyone
wishes Antwain a speedy recovery. The hope is to have him back by the time the
PCL playoffs begin. Holsopple filled in and despite a few
nerves managed the game respectfully. He passed 4-for-8, with 37 yards,
including a 12-yard scoring pass to jr. WR/DB
Jameer Bryson
in the second quarter. West’s ground game was able to churn out 316 yards. Ruley
(2 rushing TDs), who transferred into West from Furness last January, dashed and
rumbled for 201 yards on 20 carries. Multiple times he carried would-be
tacklers, as well as showing solid speed at times. Swen added 81 yards on 10
totes (7-yard TD run) to compliment him. The grunts up front included: sr. C
Jeromy
Reichner, Gs sr.
Steven
Wyant and jr.
Charles
Trabi, Ts jr.
Tymir Oliver
and soph.
Savion Perez,
and sr. TE
Neil
Satterwhite.
Defensively, sr. DB/WR
Ahkil Crumpton
and jr. LB
Amir Postley
(forced by soph. LB
Marque McDuffy)
recovered fumbles. McDuffy added a sack amongst his six total stops. Oliver led
with seven stops, while Jones (six), Reichner (six), and Ruley (five) were
active. For LC, Quigley amassed 208 all-purpose yards, including an exciting
92-yard kickoff return. Prior to this he neatly accepted a 17-yard pass on a
slant from Pinzka for a touchdown. Pinzka finished 5-for-12 for 103 yards. Casee
paced all LC rushers with 30 yards on 7 carries, and added a 43-yard reception
off a swing pass in the flat. Defensively, Pinzka added an interception and 6
tackles from his safety position. Sacks were had by jr. LB
Marty Dolan
(8 tackles) and McKee (9 stops) and soph. DE
Tyler Scheetz
(5 tackles) on a
combo. Soph. LB
David Saulino
(eight), sr. DL
Chris Sniscak
(six), and jr. DB
Dillon
Molettiere
(five) were active in the tackling department.

NON-LEAGUE
La Salle 27, Malvern 8
So, how can a
quarterback who completes nearly 70% of his passes, throws for 243 yards, and
leads his team to an impressive 19-point road win over a quality opponent
disappoint? Easy. He only only threw for three touchdowns, instead of the four
that he accomplished in each of his team’s first three games. Ok, I’m kidding.
Yes, once again, LaSalle sr. QB
Kyle Shurmur
(Vanderbilt) was
very good-to-exceptional in his efforts. But I’m a wacko, who loves those types
of stat anomalies, so I was hoping for a fourth just a little. Smile! Through
four games Shurmur now has 1,174 passing yards and 15 TDs. Whoa. Project those
numbers over just a ten game schedule (LS is a team with a reasonable chance to
play anywhere from 11-to-15) and we’re looking at a 2,900-yards, 38-TD campaign.
Both would surpass current city records. Stay tuned! And while we’re discussing
records, let’s move to sr. WR/DB
Jimmy Herron,
who today reeled in two of those scoring passes. Herron is as savvy and nifty as
any player that I have ever covered. The kid just gets it and gets it done. His
second score gave him 28 for his career and allowed him to pass
Chris Lorditch
(Wood ’06) for the Catholic League all-time record. It also tied him for the
city record held by
Brad Wilson
(Del Val ’10). Hard to imagine that this one won’t get shattered. Also, at
Herron’s current pace other receiving marks could fall by the wayside. Again,
stay tuned! As for the game, La Salle was efficient and methodical throughout.
With the wind at their backs the Explorers took their opening possession 53
yards in 10 plays for the game’s first score. Big plays on the drive were a
18-yard hook-up between Shurmur and jr. WR
Winston
Eubanks (4-57) on a
3rd-and-6 chance. Then, on 4th-and-6 from the MP 32-yard line, Shurmur found jr.
RB/DB
Jared Walls for 11
yards. Finally, a 3rd-and-1 saw Shurmur connect with jr. RB/DB
Nick Rinella
in the flat for a 12-yard score. Early in the second quarter, a promising
Malvern drive stalled when sr. RB/DB
Dymond Wright
came up a yard short at the LaSalle 24-yard line on fourth down. From here, LS
used 13 plays to travel 76 yards that produced their second score. Sr. RB/LB
Jordan
Meachum did the
honors with a 1-yard run. Earlier in the drive, Herron made a nice 6-yard grab
along the sideline on a 4th-and-two chance to keep the drive going. In turn, the
Friars would once again mount a drive, but on 4th-and-5 from the LS 18-yard
line, sr. QB
Alex Hornibrook
(Pitt) was combo-sacked by
sr. LB
Ryan Brady and jr.
DE
Isaiah Henrich.
Going against the wind and understanding that they would receive the second half
kickoff, I thought LS might take a conservative approach to close out the half.
Not to be. Short completions from Shurmur to Eubanks and Meachum gave LaSalle a
first down at their 38-yard line. Next, Shurmur found a WIDE OPEN Herron along
the numbers on the right-side of the field. Simply an easy-as-pie score that
covered 62 yards with 1:30 left in the half. It’s really hard to imagine how a
player of Herron’s caliber is left that open. Anyway, this gave the Explorers a
commanding 20-0 lead. To Malvern’s credit they would find the end zone before
half. Hornibrook completions to Wright (20 yards) and jr. RB/DB
Rashon Lusane
(19 yards) sandwiched a 15-yard face mask call on La Salle to bring the ball to
the ten-yard line. A Wright 9-yard run brought the ball to the one as time
continued to tick off the clock. Malvern got a final play off and Hornibrook
scrambled to his left before finding sr. TE/LB
Ryan O’Neill
for the score. Alas, the Friars were called for a procedure penalty wiping out
the score. but since the half can’t end on a penalty they were given another
chance from the six. From here, Hornibrook nicely lofted a right-side fade to
sr. WR/LB
Trevor Morris
(Rutgers). Sr. WR/DB
James Keating
added the
conversion run from the holder’s position to give the Friars some much needed
momentum. However, this momentum would not last long. Going into the wind, the
Explorers marched 80 yards in 16 plays to start the second half. They chewed-up
nearly seven minutes of game clock in the process. The touchdown was a neat
back-shoulder pass from Shurmur-to-Herron in the right-side of the end zone. The
chemistry between these two is off-the-charts. Offensively, the Explorers netted
430 yards of offense. Shurmur finished 20-for-29, 243 yards. Herron hauled in 6
catches for 107 yards. Meachum rushed for 85 yards on 15 carries, while Rinella
added 45 yards on 12 totes. The grunts up front included: Jr. C
Jimmy
Morrissey, G’s sr.
Robert
Skowronski and jr.
Matt
McDermott, T’s jr.
Ryan
Schutta and jr.
Thomas
Garvin, and sr. TE
Charlie
Hemcher.
Defensively, Brady was everywhere. He finished with 15 tackles in the game,
including 9 solos. Just an inspiring effort from this lad. Also contributing on
that side of the ball were; sr. LB
Aiden Kerrigan
(six tackles), McDermott (five), jr.
Anthony
Piscopo (five), sr.
DB AJ
Greseszak (five),
and Rinella (five). Herron added a late-game pick. Jr. K/P
Michael Raczak
unleashed a beautiful punt that covered 47 yards and settled at the Malvern
4-yard line. For Malvern, Hornibrook finished 15-for-27 for 149 yards. Most of
his completions were within five yards of the line of scrimmage and some
included solid YAC, but very little downfield action was had for the D-1 signal
caller today. Malvern was able to muster 282 yards of offense. Wright (5-55) and
Lusane (4-30) were Hornibrook’s most active receivers. Wright also added 70
yards on on 14 carries. Defensively, soph. DB Zac Fernandez
made a pick and returned
it 59 yards. Lusane (8 tackles; 7 solos) forced a fumble that was recovered by
Keating (6 tackles). Other notables on defense were: Morris (six tackles), and
jr. DB
Phil DiTrolio, jr.
S Ryan
Murray, and O’Neill
who evenly split fifteen stops. Back to Shurmur for a second. Even when he
misfires with teammates his passes still get caught. In the second quarter he
threw high towards the La Salle sidelines and the ball found ballboy
Joe Conner,
a freshman at Conwell-Egan. With another ball in his hands he calmly secured
Shurmur’s pass for a 12-yard completion. Smile. Sorry, Joe, but we can’t give
you credit on the stat page, but a mention in this report isn’t too bad, right?
Joe’s dad (I believe same name? Sorry, I forget) was one of the side judges in
the game. Oh yeah, good hands, kid!

St. John’s (D.C.) 37, West Catholic 6
Over the years West Head
Coach
Brian Fluck has
never shied away from a challenge or two in his scheduling. This year is no
different. The Burrs opened with a solid win over Haverford School, who have
since thumped the likes of Ryan and Downingtown-East. In week two, they lost a
heartbreaker to traditional 4A toughie North Penn in overtime. This week a VERY,
VERY good team, St. John’s of D.C., came calling. The Burrs just couldn’t match
the overall size and speed of the Cadets. Next week, the Burrs will take on
Wood, who is arguably the best team in the state regardless of class right now.
The hope is that these tough games will have the Burrs’ ready for a deep
November run at the 2A level. We’ll see if that plan comes to fruition later
this year, but for now the Burrs need to be survival mode before their league
schedule starts in two weeks. In this one, the Burrs fell behind quickly, 16-0,
at the end of the first quarter. Quality field position was an afterthought, as
St. John’s stingy defense kept that at bay early. Meanwhile, the Cadets’ offense
used prime field position of their own to score twice. These drives covered only
40 and 32 yards, and ended with scoring passes from soph. QB
Miles Temoney
to sr. WR
Will Jackson
(32 yards) and jr. WR
Aaron Hansford
(28 yards). Sandwiched between these scores, West sr. QB Antwain McCollum
was sacked for a safety. As play entered the second quarter West finally had
reasonable field position at their 35-yard line, and produced a nice 8-play
drive that resulted in their only score of the game. This was also the first TD
that St. John’s defense allowed this season. Early on, McCollum zipped 14 & 12
yards on runs. He later found jr. WR
Josh Holsopple,
who made a nice one-handed grab along the sidelines, for 17 yards. McCollum
capped the drive when he took a direct-snap, keeper 25 yards for the score. The
West defense fought all night and their best moments came at the end of the
first half and the start of the second half. First, they made a goal line stand
from the one-yard line, as jr. DB
Craig Jones
brought down sr. WR/DB
Ayron
Monroe (PSU
commit) for a 6-yard loss on fourth down. Then, jr. WR/DB Jameer Bryson
recovered a fumble at the SJ’s 35-yard line. With the score still 23-6, the
Burrs had a chance to climb closer, but the Cadets’ held on 4th-and-7 from the
32-yard line. The Cadets would put the game away afterwards with a 10-play,
68-yard drive. Sr. RB
Omar Garcia
(13-103) would do the honors with a hard 13-yard run. With the score 37-6, West
did unleash a good drive that started at their 9-yard line. They held the ball
for 17 plays and reached as far as the eleven, but McCollum fade to Bryson on
fourth down misfired. McCollum (17-51) passed 7-15, for 50 yards. Defensively,
sr. DB
Dave Swen (seven),
soph. LB
Marque McDuffy
(six), Jones (five; 2 pass defends), jr. DL
Tymir Oliver
(five), and sr. LB
Kharee Ruley
(five) were active in the tackling department.

North Penn 19, West Catholic 16 (OT)
Even though the Burrs
under Head Coach
Brian Fluck
have always taken on all comers it’s rare that you’ll ever see a large 4A
suburban public school take on a team two classes below them. Really it’s three
classes, as West is a 1A school by the numbers, but opts to play at the 2A
level. The Knights are one of the bigger schools in the state and have long been
a power in these parts. Their current prowess is probably a couple of notches
below past standards, but this was still a very good test for a game bunch of
Burrs. And for a lot of the night West looked to be in control. After falling
behind 6-0 on two sr. K
Matt Amendola
field goals (37 & 21 yards), the Burrs would strike twice in a 4-minute span of
the second quarter. First, sr. QB
Antwain McCollum
connected
beautifully with sr. WR/DB
Ahkil Crumpton
on a 81-yard touchdown pass down the middle the field. The ball was delivered
perfectly and after making the snag, the speedy Crumpton was off to the races.
On NP’s next series, sr. LB/WR
Demond
Brunache forced a
fumble with jr. DB
Craig Jones
making the
recovery. Six plays later, McCollum unleashed a zig-zagging 28-yard keeper for
a score. Just a sensational run that brought back memories of former Burrs’ star
Curtis
Drake ’08. Both
scores were followed by conversions and the Burrs held a 16-6 lead. Amendola
would belt another FG (30 yards) before to half to make it 16-9. West received
the ball to begin the second half and with soph. RB
Calil Wortham
(14-60) and sr. RB/DB
Kharee Ruley
(10-53) exchanging positive gains they were able to move the ball to the NP
18-yard line. Eventually the drive stalled at the 21-yard line after 14 plays
and nearly eights minutes of game clock exhausted. Moments later, North Penn’s
jr. FB
Nick Isabella
(6-73) took a guard-trap through the middle basically untouched. The play
covered 59 yards and Amendola’s point-after tied the score with 1:24 left in the
third quarter. West would get the ball three more times from here and twice
marched into NP territory. Neither produced a score. NP had a chance to win it
in regulation, but Amendola struck a low liner off the crossbar from 22 yards
with 1:53 left. In OT, NP took the ball first. A procedure call pushed them back
to the fifteen. Next, were runs of seven and minus-two yards. On third down, a
fade was batted away by Jones. Then, for a sixth time in the game Amendola was
summoned to the field. This time he did drill the 26-yard attempt. Now, West
would only need a touchdown to prevail. On first down, Crumpton was dragged down
by jr. DE
Korey Thompson
on a speed sweep for a five-yard loss. McCollum was chased on second down and
narrowly got a pass away for an incompletion. On third down, McCollum rushed for
six yards to nine-yard line. On West’s final gasp McCollum was given sufficient
time, and then improvised for a even a little more, but no Burr receiver could
find open space. I desperation lob to the left-side, back corner of the end zone
eluded Crumpton. As you can imagine many of the Burrs were distraught
afterwards. But this was good experience that most definitely will prepare them
for later in the year when they hope to vie for not just a league title, but a
district title, and a berth in the state playoffs. For West, McCollum was
elusive throughout. He finished with 230 yards of passing (8-for-15, 149 yards)
and rushing (16-81). Crumpton finished with 117 yards on four catches. All
total, West ran 58 plays and netted 340 yards of offense. Defensively, jr. OL/DL
Tymir
Oliver (6’4”,
265-lbs) was force all night, as eight of his game-high 11 tackles went for
solos. Numerous times the Division-1 prospect displayed serious motor by making
tackles slightly downfield. Jr. LB
Amir Postley
dinged an ankle that forced him out of the game for some time, but he was next
with six stops. Sr. OL/DL
Jeromy Reichner
was next with five tackles. Sr. LB
Neil
Satterwhite, soph.
DL
Savion Perez, and
Jones each made four stops apiece. For NP, star rusher jr.
Nyfease West
finished with 102 yards on 18 carries. Jr. QB
Spencer Jones
went 6-for-9 for 75 yards. Jr. LB
Justin
Ostopowicz (8
tackles) made an interception. Soph. LB
Nick Vasger
(5 stops) recovered a fumble. Thompson added a pair of sacks. Jr. DE
Keith Earle
(eight), sr. LB
Mike Burns
(seven), and sr. DL
Kevin
Vandenplas
(six) were all active in the tackling department. Amendola boomed all five
kickoffs for touchbacks. His six field goal attempts in the game just have to
near some sort of record for this area. I know I have never been at a game that
saw that many by two teams, let alone only one.

West Catholic 24, Haverford School 19
From 2002 thru 2011 the Burrs had opened
their seasons down at the shore with games against Roman. All but one of these
contests took place in Wildwood at Maxwell Field. The initial game occurred in
Lower Cape May. With the threat of possible school closings, schedules were in
interrupted prior to the ’12 season and the Burrs and Cahillites stopped playing
one another. Now, after a two-year hiatus, West was back in Wildwood against a
solid and veteran Haverford School club. At the outset I’m pretty sure West
wished they were someplace else, though. On the second play from scrimmage
Fords’ star RB Phil Poquie sped left
for a 65-yard touchdown just thirty seconds into the game. Then, after West was
stopped on fourth down at midfield another Fords’ promising series started.
However, penalties (HS amassed 12 penalties for 114 yards in the first half
alone) thwarted this opportunity. Still, West’s next possession ended on a deep
interception by jr. WR/DB Micah Sims
at the West 23-yard line. From here HS used a 36-yard scamper by jr. QB
Kevin Carter to put the ball at WC’s 41-yard
line. Four plays later Carter found Sims on a nicely orchestrated wheel route
near the left sideline. Right after making the catch Sims used a nifty move back
inside to avoid a Burr defender and easily sped 42 yards to paydirt. West would
settle down on their next possession and proceeded to march 80 yards on 10
plays. Third down conversions by sr. QB Antwain McCollum
(12-yard run) and sr. Ahkil Crumpton
(18-yard pass from McCollum) helped set-up soph. RB Calil Wortham’s
9-yard scoring run. West would go onto to strike two more times before the
intermission. First, sr. DB David Swen
made a pick at his own two-yard line. The Burrs only needed nine plays to cover
98 yards to make the score, 14-12, with 48 seconds left. McCollum was HUGE
throughout this drive. He passed to jr. WR Josh Holsopple
(26 yards) and sr. WR/LB Demond Brunache
(12 yards) for first downs. His legs did major damage on the drive, too. He had
runs of 11, 17, 9, and a 24-yard touchdown. Electing to not sit on the ball,
Carter was intercepted by jr. WR/DB Jameer Bryson,
who returned it 24 yards to the HS 36-yard line. Wasting little time McCollum
found Crumpton (5-87) down the right sideline to give the Burrs a 18-14 lead
with just 15.3 seconds left in the half. Talk about a momentum shift. A penalty
on the second half kickoff and a three-and-out left West punting from their end
zone. HS’s sr. LB Brandon Walker
stormed in from the left to block the punt. West’s sr. RB/DB
Kharee Ruley did well to recover the loose ball
in the end zone and prevent a possible Fords’ touchdown. The safety made the
score, 18-16. HS would start their next possession at the West 50-yard line, but
it ended with an interception by sr. LB Neil Satterwhite. This
spearheaded another West scoring drive. This one covering 68 yards on 9 plays.
Wortham (15-71) provided his second 9-yard scoring play. West had a gigantic
defensive stand early in the fourth quarter. A Poquie 20-yard run gave the
Fords’ a first-and-goal from the one. With sr. WR/QB/LB Derek Mountain
in wildcat formation he was brought down for a two-yard loss (Bryson) and no
gain (Satterwhite). On third down, HS tried a keeper with Carter and Ruley
tackled him for a five-yard loss back to the 8-yard line. The Fords had to
settle for a 24-yard FG by sr. Jack Soslow
(belted a pair of touchbacks) with 8:03 left. HS
would get the ball back twice, but failed to threaten. First, Brunache sacked,
forced, and recovered a fumble on Carter. Then, with 2:57 left HS had their last
chance starting from their 10-yard line. A misplay on a snap saw them lose six
yards on first down. Carter did have a 11-yard fourth down run to the twenty for
a new set of downs, but after a short completion three passes went incomplete.
West ran the final minute off the clock from here. For West, McCollum totaled
267 yards (11-26-157 passing; now up to 3,047 for his career!!) of
passing/rushing (10-110). At times he was dynamic. West accumulated 352 yards of
offense. The grunts featured sr. C Steve Wyant,
T’s sr. Jeromy Reichner and jr.
Tymir Oliver, G’s sr. Greg
Nathaniel and jr. Charles Trabi.
Defensively, West forced four turnovers. Leaders in the tackling department
were: Ruley (eight; 6 solos), Swen (seven; 5 pass defends), Satterwhite (seven;
3 TFLs), jr. LB Amir Postley (six),
Brunache (five), and Bryson (five). For HS, Poquie was excellent with 160 yards
on 17 carries. Carter had a few moments, but was mostly uneven. He passed
7-for-24 for 88 yards, but completed just three of his final sixteen attempts.
He added 34 yards on the ground. He’ll experience better days for sure. On
defense, sr. DL Corey Richards was a
force at times. Three of his seven stops went for losses. Sr. S Lane
Odom made six tackles and forced a fumble. Jr.
LB Mickey Kober registered six stops,
while jr. WR/DB Dox Aitken
(5 tackles) recovered a fumble. The teams combined for 29 penalties (HS with 15)
that totaled 249 yards. Phew...

Roman 38, Malvern 27
One of the better
parts about covering high school athletics is having the opportunity to
sometimes see kids get better from year-to-year. With this mind, allow me to
introduce you to Roman jr. QB
Phil
DiWilliams. A year
ago the Cahillites suffered through major woes within their passing game. The
aforementioned DiWilliams played a small part in this when given two starts
early in the season against quality opponents. Neither went all that well and
combined with spot duty in another game, DiWilliams managed to go just
11-for-38, 82 yards, zero TDs in the season. Alas, we turn the calendar to now
in a game played at Maxwell Field in Wildwood. All DiWilliams did in this one
was match the total of Cahillites’ scoring passes from last year with three. To
boot added a pair of 1-yard plunges to help his team race away with an
impressive come-from-behind win. All Total, DiWilliams passed 15-for-25 and 279
yards. His scoring strikes went to sr. WR/RB/DB/KR
John Chaney
for 21 yards that got Roman within, 13-7. In the third quarter he found sr. WR/DB
AJ Frazier
on a lovely
right-side sprint that covered 28 yards. Just a great hook-up here. This drew
the Cahillites to within, 27-25, midway thru the third quarter. Next, he flipped
a middle screen to star sr. RB/DB
Dimetri Kelly
for 43 yards that gave Roman the lead for good at, 31-27. Frazier (6-107) and
Chaney (6-83, 4-39 rush; 188 all-purpose) were his main targets. Chaney, the
grandson of Temple’s legendary basketball coach, is terrific and asked to do a
lot for Head Coach’s
Joe McCourt’s
squad. He seems to enjoy the responsibility. On the ground, Kelly was his
typical workmanlike, bruising self. Using good feet, balance, and a touch of
patience he routinely gets most out of his totes. He ended with 131 yards on 30
carries. Twelve of these lugs came in the fourth quarter with his team
protecting a lead. For his career, he now possesses 2,746 yards. Another back
who provided a key moment was diminutive jr.
Humza Basil
who jetted his way 34 yards just prior to the Frazier touchdown. Contributions
like this shouldn’t go unnoticed. Roman ran a staggering 65 plays and netted 476
yards. Amazingly, they only managed TWO yards on two first quarter possessions.
So, 474 yards came over the last three quarters. Also, they accumulated 22 first
downs over those last three stanzas. Time for some grunt love? You bet ya. Sr.
6’6” 275-lbs T
Manny Taylor
(Rutgers) made his first varsity start. joining him at tackle was sr. 6’4”,
280-lbs
Gavin Wiggins
(Youngstown St.).
Jr. 6’4”, 245-lbs
Robert Collins
was at center, while the G’s were jr.
Joseph Pody
and jr.
Jake Doyle.
Jr. FB JP Schmidt
chipped in with the big
boys. Defensively, the Cahillites were led by sr. DB
Kenny Avallon
who made pair of timely/nifty picks. Sr. DB
Joe Wilson
also notched a pick
that sent the Cahillites’ sideline into a frenzy. Sr. LB
Sam Payne
(2 sacks) made six stops total. Jr. LB
Tom Stevens
was feisty
throughout with six stops, including three TFLs. Sr. LB
Marques Wright
added a sack amongst his five tackles. Chaney blocked a PAT. For Malvern, things
looked just swell in the first quarter as they built a 13-0 lead. They held a
24-to-6 play advantage and had already gobbled-up 166 total yards. Sr. QB
Alex
Hornibrook (Pitt)
tossed two first quarter scores in Malvern’s hurry-up attack. First, he found a
wide open jr. WR
Chris Brown
for 9 yards. Then, a middle screen turned into a fantastic 65-yard score to sr.
RB/DB
Dymond Wright, who
unleashed a wicked spin move downfield, then broke multiple tackle attempts
before breaking free. Truly a thing of beauty. The Friars still maintained a
leads at half and in the third quarter, but frustration set in from here. After
holding a 27-19 lead, Malvern watched the Cahillites score the final 19 points.
Malvern’s last five possessions ended with a punt, two turnovers on downs in
Roman territory, and a pair of interceptions. The Friars , who used many two-way
players, seemed to run out of gas. Roman was definitely the fresher team over
the final 18 minutes. Hornibrook had some good moments with four passing
touchdowns, as he finished 13-for-30 and 271 yards. However, the lefty was often
chased in the latter stages and completed just 2 of his final 11 attempts.
Wright combined for 161 rushing/receiving yards (16-85 rush). Sr. WR/RB/LB
Trevor
Morris
(Rutgers) had a couple of spectacular, men versus boys moments with 6 receptions
and 176 yards. He unleashed touchdowns of 60 & 69 yards. Malvern had three 60+
scoring passes. The Friars ended with 373 yards of offense. Defensively, sr. S
James
Keating had a pick
and 7 tackles. Morris (seven), jr. DB
Ryan Murray
(seven), jr. S
Rashon Lusane
(seven), and jr. LB
Patrick Finley
(six) were active. Sr. LB
Ryan O’Neill
paced the defense with 9 total stops including a sack. The Teams
combined for 122 offensive snaps and 849 yards from scrimmage. There were 1,036
all-purpose in the tilt. Nothing like providing a stat guy like myself
early-season juice. Cool moment as they game ended. Just as the Cahillites were
raising their helmets to celebrate the win the fireworks from the Boardwalk lit
up the sky beyond the field.
