Congratulations Northwestern Lehigh

[RoverNation05]

Tigers have been awesome for the last two years, get it done in a great state final, 36-33 in overtime.

First D11 state champ since 2010 Allentown Central Catholic. Joins Wilson as the only Colonial League state champs - Northern Lehigh and Pen Argyl both had previously lost in finals.

A massive day for Josh Snyder, a NWL alum who took over the program and has been wildly successful. And his brother Brett (a former NWL star who tragically died of ALS a couple years back) would be really proud of all they’ve accomplished. A good day for some good people.

Great game and unbelievable year for the school. Undefeated state champions in 3 Fall sports simultaneously. Can't imagine that has ever been done before.

One of the local newspapers here confirmed the three undefeated state champs in the same season is the first time that's happened in the PIAA.

Josh Snyder also was very quick to point out that all three coaches are from New Tripoli and Northwestern Lehigh alums. Pretty fun fall, going to be a long time before we see that again.

Also in local coverage, I forgot that Northwestern lost a football before the season in a tragic accident. Good story on how the team has coped throughout the year here: https://www.lehighvalleylive.com/hi...perfect-season-as-tribute-to-late-friend.html
