If I’m being honest, it’s Freedom who had the best chance to pull an upset. Most balanced offense, big and athletic on the offensive line, a couple good FCS kids on top of depth. But season ending injuries to an All State linebacker (Lafayette commit Justin Peluso), their leading tackler, a 6’4 280 offensive lineman with FCS offers, and their starting safety was too much to overcome in the Parkland rematch. Easton was probably next in line with their set of receivers, but biffed too many red zone opportunities against Emmaus in a game where they had 430 yards of total offense but only 19 points.

But I’ve been wrong before.

Yep, Parkland will get the SJP-Imhotep winner next week.

100% sour grapes here, but I do not think Parkland matches up well with whoever wins. Way too one dimensional. Tim will have them ready to play though, once again he has his team playing great in November.

I thought the same thing regarding 23. I was expecting to see him carry the ball more. Maybe he is banged up?

So is Parkland the D11 winner?

Not a bad night from TJ Lawrence. 18 carries for 90 yards and a touchdown. Nine tackles, blocked field goal to end the first half, and the interception on Emmaus’s final drive. He might dominate the Valley the next two years.

Not sure how CB West let that go. HC and maybe AD should have been on the field holding up the game until they got it right.

That being said, the clock would have long ago expired if DWest didn’t get pass happy up 28-10.

Interesting coaching on both sides. DWest throwing instead of running the clock. CB West just continuing to run QB Left/QB Right when they had 23 on their team.

Turning the ball over 5 times in one half is hard to do. Brutal finish for the previously unbeaten Titans. Sets up another good one next week.

I watched the game on TV, there seemed to be a lot of kids crying and they showed the crowd and USC fans were leaving early

PT was my preseason pick, but I picked USC when the playoffs began because they really seemed to handle PT a few weeks ago

PR back in it again and I would say they are the favorite considering they beat Bethel Park more convincingly than PT and USC did, guess Kasper wasn't needed

you going to the game tomorrow?

Pretty satisfying tbh. That’s a team of punks. Kids from that team have been talking mad shit all season, in person and on Twitter/X through fake accounts, the fans aren’t much better. Haven’t won anything in nearly 2 decades! And certainly not changing anytime soon

USC has to be sick right now, lose 7-3 and the only td was a kick return

Weird ending. Dtown West throwing the ball last three possessions extending the game for CB West. Then, CB West seems to lose a down at the end of the game. Refs said 4th down, but CB West and myself thought it was 3rd…

Well shit

DTW holds on 28-23. Great game. Great season Bucks.

Also, Phillipsburg with a walk-off field goal to win the New Jersey Group 4 Section 2 championship. Bad night all around.

Final - Parkland 17 Emmaus 3.

I’m terrible at predictions. Nearly a 40 point swing from their meeting three weeks ago.

They were in man and the injured player’s man ended up uncovered. Nice drive to respond to get it to 28-17. Energy level is up now.

Yes on the TD throw. But they gave up a few before that. Like you said, DTW can’t run it so everything they are getting is through the air.

Springfield 21 Garnet Valley 14. Final.

Garnet Valley fumbled going in on 2 yard line with 1:48 remaining. Great game.

Parkland goes up 17-0, this one is over

28-10. West secondary is struggling.

21-10 drown after a big pass play / FG. CBW shooting themselves in the foot repeatedly and the flags are going against them so far. DTown West can’t move it on the ground but West blew two coverages. Need a quick stop coming out of the locker room. Dtown to receive

Emmaus drives to the red zone, Parkland holds and forces a field goal.

Blocked!!!!! 10-0 lead at halftime for the Trojans.
