Yo Buddy,
You preach winning like a champ, and losing like a champ…take you’re own advice dude…La Salle’s defense played a great game…their offense played a horrible game…NP won, congrats to a greats team…By no means can you downplay the La Salle defense play…NP was a 21 point team…just so happened La Salle was only a 14 point team…congrats to a good NP team…Thank you La Salle seniors for an incredible resume with 4 PCL champs, 3 Philly Champs, and 1 state title…you’ve done La Salle proud.
Suburban1 you are right on, NP pretty much handled LS all game. There were moments that LS seemed to move effectively, but never in a sustained way. The stop by NP at their own 16 early in the third period was the play of the game because they then drove down the field and took the lead for good. To me, NP won this game at both the offense and defensive line, but particularly the D-line. LS just didn’t get any running game going and never quite challenged the knights. I agree too, turnovers next week CANNOT happen if they want to stay in the game let alone have a shot at winning it.
So I was a little off on my NorthPenn by 17 over LaSalle prediction but not by much. The final of 21-14 is not indicative of the actual game. NP was stopped 3x on 4th and short, including once on the LaSalle 2 yard line, in the 4th quarter. LaSalle battled, but if not for the 3 stops and the 2 NP fumbles in the 1st half, including one in their own end that led to a LaSalle TD right away, this game s a blowout. LaSalle played tough but just seemed a little undersized especially in the 2nd half. Have to see the stats but my guess is NP had TOP of maybe 28 minutes. Now, Ive been saying the Sub1 is the class of the east and again, it played out. 8x in the last 11 years, BUT, NP was not overly impressive and will need to play much better to win next week. Turnovers hurt them and they couldn’t finish and put this one out of reach when they had the chance.
@ all you overbearing (& only the overbearing) PCL/LaSalle fans:
BAM!!
Man that Nosovitch looked poor last night. His passes were not crisp and were nose diving, and he was just chucking it at one point, hoping for a receiver to run under it. Nice try, but Woodstrong wins the State.
LaSalle, two straight weeks the refs screwed you! Maybe it’s time you look yourselves in the mirror and realize you commit more penalties than your opponents.
AW 35 – Bishop McDevitt 21
Congrats to North Penn for finally beating LaSalle. I went to the Lancaster Catholic / West Catholic game, which was also entertaining up until the very end, but I heard the fans stormed the field after the Knights took out the Explorers. Would’ve liked to have seen that. Also went to the AW/ACC game last night… Wood is scary good.
Dan
I agree Nosovitch and Guylus awesome players. ACC had their day in the sun last year. Don’t take away from these Wood high school players what they have earned with your comments. 95% of Woods roster came up thru CYO program. ALL of their lineman did. With the holes they opened up last night Mickey Mouse could have had 5 TD.
Thanks for letting us know that Wood will have their hands full next week with McDevitt. I
sure the coaching staff at Wood did not know that. That was a sour grapes comment coming from a guy whose team lost. Let me guess you hope MCDevitt wins?
To all you Wood fans out there. Nosovitch to Gulyas is still the greatest Pennsylvania high school combination of all time. And they both came up through the ranks in the little vikings program in grade school. Not like your superstars who are now in their 3rd school in four years. But to be fair they were the better team last night. No question. You’ll have your hands full with McDevitt.
14 to 14 at the half. NP/LS
I think Wood is still scoring this morning
Frank,
Grow up.
I was at the game. I was rooting for Nazareth. They were beaten by a better team. That’s not the point here.
The point is that people like you are childishly implying some kind of conspiracy on the part of third-party refs.
Were there some bad calls? There are bad calls every game. They are like bad hops in baseball – they are part of the game. Good players, like the ones on LaSalle (and unlike you) do not let it distract them – they move on and take care of business.
“Clearly there was something going on”??? You are accusing officials from a neutral district of cheating. You are obviously too obtuse and juvenile to realize how irresponsible (and silly) that is.
Well I was wrong, and when I am wrong I admit it. I said Wood was going to win by 40 and I was off by over 2 tds.
Mika – Tell Funkster I said scoreboard on Wood! LOL.
That is the whooping stick behind the shed man.
@John
Hows your team doing this December? From the tone of you comment, I think not too well. How about you look at the fact the there was 15 penalties against LaSalle and 2 against Nazareth, and clearly there was something going on. So how about you keep quite until next fall comes around and your team can try to beat LaSalle for the Eastern crown. GO Lasalle
The Wood vs ACC score that I saw was a misprint …right?
@John B
Really? Saw this blowout coming from a mile away but I though ACC would be within 21 at half. AW is either the #1 or #2 in the state and I would have loved to see them play NA.
The La Salle game’s penalty difference was like 13-1 you idiot. Clearly there is something else going on with the officiating you don’t just get a disparity like that especially with a team as well coached as the explorers
I’m not a Nazareth fan at all. I’m actually not a fan of either district either. I just watched a football game and thought LaSalle’s fans cried like little babies. The pass interference penalty was called because the ref wasn’t on the sidelines, but in the back of the endzone. When the receiver went down to catch the ball (before it arrived) the LaSalle player dove low and it appeared from the ref’s angle to clip his feet.
Also, 4 of the holding calls occurred inside and were called on the left guard. So I don’t know what you mean outside runs on trips?
I’ll send you a DVD copy of the game and you can watch it for yourself. It clearly hit the ground the so-called interception that was overturned.
I had no dog in the fight, and had I been on Nazareth’s side I’d probably have thought there fans were pompous. People need to just watch the football games, cheer when their team does something good and shut up the rest of the time.
Anyone and everyone knows they can register and take the test to become an official. Oh, because they wouldn’t pass the test nor do they know the game of football.
What did Wood win by?
So much for the greatest show on turf. Last year ACC was unbelievable. This year, they got as far as they did because of their bracket. I doubt whether they could beat Lampeter-Strasburg Pottsgrove.
where’s the acc people now?
I don’t believe what I just saw…ACC fans can’t even go to the public vs private issue as last year they spanked a young Wood team and Wood didn’t cry and moan they just got a year older and better. If Wood does not win States this year they will never win it…
Well AW surely sent a message tonight…
