This was a very competitive game, with Pennsbury not completely knocked out until late 4th quarter. PHS actually controlled both sides of the ball early on, running on 10 straight plays before capping an 80-yard opening drive with a 14-yard TD pass, #12 McGurrin to #2 Beighley. After stopping CBS on downs, #24 Mulbah took a first-play FB dive 60 yards to the house and PHS was up 14-0 first quarter. PHS again turned CBS over on downs and was in total control at their own 43 early second quarter. But a fumble on an errant option pitch was the momentum swing CBS needed, and 7 plays later a 9-yard TD run made it 14-7. After 9 more running plays, Pennsbury punted with 1 minute left in the half. South needed less than that minute to go 80 yards in 7 plays, capped by a 1-yard TD run. A blocked extra point try made the score 14-13 Falcons at the break. CBS opened the second half with a 10-play, 56-yard drive to the PHS 9, but a diving INT by #33 Hoffmaster ended the threat. Pennsbury went 3-and-out, and a long punt and penalty put CBS at their own 19. Eleven plays later, a 9-yard TD pass and 2-point conversion put South up 21-14. Pennsbury still had plenty of fight left, driving 11 plays to the CBS 15 mid-4th quarter, but they fell one yard short on a 4th and 11 pass. CBS effectively put the game away at 28-14 with an 8-play, 85-yard drive, culminating in an 18-yard TD run with just under 4 minutes to play. Pennsbury went down swinging, driving to the South 11, but a sack/fumble ended the drive, and 3 kneel-downs ended the game. Pennsbury drops to 0-8 while CB South runs its record to 6-2 and win streak to 5.
CB South's offense was balanced all evening, rushing 34 times for 200 yards and 3 TDs, and completing 18 of 26 passes for 206 with a TD and an INT. Pennsbury's flex-bone offense was effective, finishing at 40 for 220 on the ground (but including 4 killer sacks for -24 yards and the fumble lost on the option pitch). PHS threw (and completed) only 2 passes until its 7th and final drive of the game, with McGurrin going 6 of 10 for 72 yards and a TD. Mulbah finished at 16 for 115 on the ground and a TD. Sophomore wing-back Beighley tallied 51 rushing and 40 receiving (plus a TD), while also going the distance at OLB.
Next Friday, Pennsbury hosts 2-6 Abington, who beat the Falcons' week 10 opponent Neshaminy (1-7) 31-21. CB South hosts Pennridge and North Penn to close the regular season.
