A total flip of the script from an offensive explosion to an incredible defensive performance. West gave up two scores on very short fields late in the second quarter (Interception and shanked punt), but otherwise PV couldn't move the ball at all. Only 129 total yards for PV (43 in the second half) to 267 for West, who also struggled to move the ball most of the night, and came up short on a couple of first half drives. One ended with a goal line stand by PV and the other with a dropped hold on a FG attempt. West did finally put together a long drive in the second half to take the lead, mixing up the run game with some timely throws from Cooper. Game was decided by a missed PAT for PV, on a snap that rolled back and never made it to the holder. Weather was certainly a factor as it was pretty heavy snow and gusty wind for most of the first half. McFadden over 100 yards receiving and Cherubini was the leading rusher for West, he also had a big 4th down conversion to ice the game down to the PV 8 yard line.
Rematch with Garnet Valley up next, GV won the first 14-7, scoring with a minute left while trailing 7-6. Should be a great one... West playing with serious house money at this point, from 11th seed to the championship game (state quarterfinals). Hats off to GV, losing so many to graduation and their legendary coach, and they just line up and go 12-0 so far.
