Philadelphia,Pa., Mixing in a combination of solid running by Eric Neefe and the passing of John Loughery, William Penn Charter captured its second win of the season with a decisive 34-20 win over Archbishop Carroll at Penn Charter High yesterday afternoon.

The Quakers (of the independent Inter-Academic League) went right to work on its first possession with a six minute 10 play drive ending with Sophomore Neefe (St. Joe Prep transfer) bulling in from 4 yards out. Neefe scored two more TD’s in the first half with runs of 3 and 21 yards giving them a 20-0 halftime edge.

Within the first 5 minutes of the second half the Patriots (D12, PCL, AAA) began to make a game of it scoring two quick touchdowns of its own. Senior RB Julian Franklin scored from 8 yards out on their first drive. On the Quakers next possession Senior QB John Loughery was intercepted by Senior Greg DiSanto, who returned the pick for a 26 yard score.

Now up by only six at 20-14, Loughery immediately took away any momentum that Carroll was building when he ended their next drive with a 25 yard TD pass to senior receiver Joey Stankey.

A Quakers fumble recovery on the Patriots next possession and their offensive time of possession gave Carroll small hope for any comeback. In the 4^th quarter Senior RB Nick Briscella, in relief of Neefe scored on a 35 yard run.

For the Quakers, Neefe had 30 carries for 140 yards and Loughery passed 12-18 for 189 yards. Charter’s 420 total offensive yards nearly doubled Carroll’s output.

Both teams will start their conference schedule next week. Carroll, now 4-2 will take on rival power Archbishop Wood while Penn Charter (2-3) hosts Malvern Prep.
