   Zach Barket is not chasing Austin Scott …He’ll be chasing Steel – High’s Jeremiah Young. And I don’t think Zach will ever catch him !

   Were is Communication Tech in the state wide class A Rankings were 8-0. You have Jenkintown as (1) on your watch list they have lose two games this year and can we get some respect if beat them this weekend? NO respect from Philadelphia city writers either. I guess will just have to keep shocking the football world.
