  1. “I’m right here. I’ll admit, I was wrong about D-Town East and ACC as teams. ACC lost more than I had thought in the trenches and D-Town East took it to them. They really sent a message with the win. However if anything, the game video shows Harris’s lack of speed. In the first play from EPAF’s video, he gets caught by not one, but two kids. He breaks the tackles but elite speed…? No. I never said he wasn’t a good RB b/c he is a very good RB.

  2. McCaskey Sr. Johnathan Hulyo completed 25 of 43 for 349yrds 3TD’s and 1INT. His favorite target was Jr. WR Diante Cherry who caught 11 balls for 189yrds and 2TD’s!

  3. Pen Argyl looked very impressive. They were up 36-0 a few seconds into the second quarter and the starters were finished by the midway point of the second quarter. Dylan Evans literally jumed over a standing defender on his way to the end zone (the most amazing thing I have ever seen on a high school football field). I am not seeing much about them in rankings but they are a huge favotite to win the Colonial League over Northern Lehigh (ranked) and in my opionion are better than Pius X (ranked).

    Here is the local article if you want to take a look.

    Could do some real damage at States this year.

  4. Robbie Siclari (Western Wayne)

    scored 5 TDs, rushed for 196 yards, 80 yard kick return to the house, and carried Western Wayne to its biggest win in years.

    The wildcats were down 34-12 at half and came back to win 40-12.

    Robbie score 3 TDs in the last 5 mins of the fourth

  5. Where is Sepa Guru? LoL it’s all good. Great win for D.East I think they showed great depth and an ability to make plays at the right time. Buddy I know that North Penn will bounce back they are a great program with a great coach. Hopefully east gets their rematch this year. Looking fwd to the Rustin game.

  6. The entire Ridley football program. Never rated very high in polls,always small players, rarely a Div I player on the team. They put a TEAM on the field with students who LIVE in the school district,don’t recruit or provide scholarships.

    They are like the Oakland Raiders of old. They “Just Win” week in and week out , year in and year out with the talent that shows up.

    Congratulation to the coaching staff and the players for a Big Win to start the season. Playing all 4 quarters and never ever giving up on your self.

    In the last 5 year played in 3 district 1 Championships games winning 2. Played in 2 Eastern Championship Games

    Play every down like it’s your last! Go Big Green Machine !

  7. North penn just wasn’t ready for prime time……..D-town East was…… LaSalle could lose next two games, hopefully acquiring some humility………and the beat goes on…..

  8. JT Blyden – Sophomore RB from Avon Grove. Had 242 yards rushing on 19 carries and 4 touchdowns. He’s also a ball hawking safety for the Red Devils. Kids a stud.

  9. Michael Keir QB Roman Catholic over West Catholic 13-22 232 2 pass TDs 1 rush TD, very impressive controlled the game, West had no answer for him.

  10. JT Blyden (SO) RB runs 19-242 4Tds for Avon Grove .FYI Drew sure look like a 4.4 speed back tonight & looked Jacked at 215 ,,,,,

  11. LaSalle passing game is awesome. Very crisp and efficient. Of course, there were some incompletes but can’t remember one dropped ball of passes that were reasonably catchable. They should represent Philadelphia well next week against Bergen Catholic. I’m so there.

  12. Robbie Siclari (remember the name)
    23 Carries 195 yds 4 td’s
    1 Reception 33 yards
    1 Kick off for a TD 80 yards

    Western wayne was down by 22 at halftime 34-12 and came back to beat wyoming area 40-34. Robbie carried the team on his back…

  13. Colin Buckley, WR, LaSalle

    Week 1 vs North Penn: 9 catches, 165 yeards, 4 TD’s

    Yes, 4 TD’s. Won the game with his own two hands.

  14. robbie siclari 195 yds rushing 5 t.d kick return for t.d western wayne down 34-12 at half time comes back to win 40-34

  15. Garnet Valley is on the decline if they don’t get their act together….Richie Sampson from Unionville shredded their defense for over 200 rushing yards

  16. so far, it’s Souderton. Even with their lose to Neshaminy, they were impressive. Neshaminy is almost unbeatable at home, and Souderton could have easily won that game. Turnovers did them in. If they can shake that off, yhey may bot lose another regular season game.

  17. Dallas VS Coughlin
    Dallas looked great. Dallas moved the ball at will in the 1st half. They went conservative in the second half. They have a new QB. I think his name is Ryan Zapoticky. He is a Junior and the play I thought was wonderful, he stepped up into the pocket and threw a 60 yard strike for a TD. Three touchdowns overall. Great Job Dallas.

  18. Easton very impressive. Pennsbury very depressing. I think the falcons need a new head coach, they are never ready to play until week three. Offensive play calling is pathetic. A change at the top is long overdo.
