All classes are 6A and District 3 teams unless otherwise shown; Districts 3, 4, 5, 6, 9.
1 Central Dauphin (11-2, Mid Penn-Commonwealth)
Central Dauphin had a bye last week after winning the District-3 championship beating Harrisburg while their semifinal opponent Downingtown West was defeating Coatesville 48-36 to win the District-1 championship. The Rams are on a run, winning their last ten games since losing 10-7 at Manheim Township September 6th. The streak includes wins against State College (11-2) 34-13, Chambersburg (6-5) 28-23, Manheim Township (11-1) 35-34 2ot and Harrisburg (9-4) twice; 15-14 at their place, 27-20 at CD. State High, Township and Harrisburg were defeated on the road. The Whippets streak while not as long (5) is almost as impressive, winning those five by an average score of 48-30, with notable wins against North Penn (8-4) 40-31, Haverford (10-3) 49-42 and Coatesville (10-3) 48-36. That’s a lot of points allowed! At 32ppg in their last five games, CD has more than enough offense with a defense allowing 18ppg average. Downingtown lights it up, whereas CD sneaks up on you with special teams and defense, lulling you to sleep before the sophomore quarterback goes up top with a laser strike for six points. Should be a heck of a game! More on the game with the “by the numbers” write up.
2 State College (11-2, MP- Commonwealth, D6)
State College got off to a great start against Pittsburgh Central Catholic with Lokey Howell (4 receptions for 52 yds) returning the opening kickoff 94 yards for the score, followed by Dresyn Green (22 carries for 74 yds) 6 yard run for a 14-0 first quarter lead. Great start! But thereon it was all downhill with Central Catholic scoring on two second quarter touchdowns by quarterback Dom Pietro of 65 yards to Gannon Carothers, then again following a Brady Dorner fumble (7/17/90, 11/66 rushing)….also to Carothers from State’s 26 yard line on a fourth down play. You know it’s meant to be when Central Catholic beats you with the forward pass! They scored again on a fourth down conversion before SC tied it up early in the fourth at 21 a piece on a Dorner-Howell connection. Central Catholic then went on the game winning eight minute drive with Jonathan Opalko nailing a 37 yards field goal with 1:08 to go. Impressive! Pietro was 8 of 21 for 152 yards with Carothers collecting 3 for 128 yards and Ed Tillman rushing for 168 yards. Total yardage had CC up 397 to 258. State goes home after yet another loss to the WPIAL champ, their 11th in 12 tries since the PIAA playoffs were initiated in 1988. Talk about a hex. But that’s some kind of D-front for the Vikings who should be a difficult out for any team. The Vikings move on to the semifinal Saturday at 1 in Altoona’s Mansion Park Stadium against defending 6A champ St. Joseph’s Prep (10-2) who defeated Nazareth 45-24.
3 Harrisburg (9-4, MP-Commonwealth)……..season over
4 Manheim Township (11-1, Lancaster Lebanon-Section-1)……..season over
5 Wilson (10-2, LL-1)……..season over
6 Southern Columbia (14-0, 2A, D4, Heartland)
Like they’ve done all season, Southern Columbia built a huge lead at half time, 42-6, then cruised to another effortless win, their 46th straight by defeating previously unbeaten Upper Dauphin (12-1) at Selinsgrove. Unlike their other opponents to date, UDA reached out and touched them a few time, amassing 276 total yards (138 each) of offense. But it was never in doubt with SCA gaining 498 total yards (385r, 113p) in another mercy ruled 63-22 win, their 14th of the year. They move on to semifinal action again at Selinsgrove, Friday at 7 against undefeated Richland (13-0), who just defeated District-12’s Bishop McDevitt (7-7) 29-21. Statistically, Richland has one of the best small school defenses in the state, allowing 9ppg against a schedule including Bishop Guilfoyle (11-2), Ligonier Valley (12-1), Penns Valley (10-2), Chestnut Ridge (9-3) and Bedford (10-3). Their 3-4 is quick with a good NG in Connor Rager (6-2, 255, jr). Nice D-Front but odd as it sounds maybe a year away with 14 juniors and sophomores in starting roles who likely won’t physically stand up to the more mature SCA team.
7 Cocalico (11-2, 5A, LL-2)
After beating Cedar Cliff (10-3) 43-15 at Cedar Cliff (Camp Hill) in the regular season then again last week in Denver, it’s obvious the top seeded Eagles have the 2nd seeded Colt’s number! And that they’ve morphed into something special after the loss to Manheim Central 46-43 two months ago. Since then, they defeated Lampeter Strasburg (11-2) 41-13, who just won the District-3, 4A title, Governor Mifflin (8-4), the Berks-1 champ and Warwick (10-3) 21-13 of the well regarded LL-1. Holding the Colts to 136 total yards and seven first downs jumps out at you. This includes shutting down Jaheim Morris (2430 coming in) to 46 yards on 17 carries. Wow! Losing two of five fumble and a pick didn’t help. Cocalico’s economical attack of 7.04 ypp (317 total yards) was led by Qb Noah Palm’s 116 yards rushing, scoring on 1, 26 and 34 yard runs. Steven Flinton added 74 yards and a 59 yard scoring run with Austin Vang adding 56. Ronald Zalm had four yards on two carries, both touchdowns. This is their first title since 1994 as they move on to play District-1 champ Cheltenham (13-1) of the SOL-American Conference who just defeated Academy Park (11-3) 43-42. They’re led by quarterback Adonis Hunter (1892py-54%, 23/6 ratio, 350ry) and running back Jamir Barnes (1117 yds). But they won’t show Cocalico anything they haven’t already seen having played Cedar Cliff (8-4), Manheim Township (11-1), Manheim Central (9-3), Lampeter Strasburg (11-3) and Warwick (10-3). Conversely, Cheltenham hasn’t played a team including Plymouth Whitemarsh that approximates Cocalico’s Veer, or quarterback Noah Palm who passed for 1014 yards at 64% (9/2 ratio) and run for 1432 more with 33 touchdowns. The game is at Hershey Park Stadium Friday at 6.
8 Warwick (10-3, 5A, LL-1)……..season over
9 Manheim Central (9-3, 5A, LL-2)……..season over
10 Cedar Cliff (10-3, 5A, MP-Keystone)
Few expected Cedar Cliff’s season to end with yet another blowout loss to Cocalico 41-13, knowing they came into the game on a nine game win streak that included a 24-0 shutout of Exeter the week before. But all in all a nice season, winning the Mid Penn-Keystone for the second straight year as well as 10 games again while breaking in a new quarterback. Jaheim Morris graduates taking 2476 rush yards with him following his record setting season. Others return but none are of the once in a decade variety like Morris that influence the game each and every down.
11 Lampeter Strasburg (11-3, 4A, LL-2)
The Pioneers continue surprising with a 35-21 win at Berks Catholic to win their first District-3 title since 2007. Since the defeat by conference member Cocalico 41-13 five weeks ago, they’ve caught fire in the postseason, beating Elco (7-4) 34-7, top seeded York Suburban (10-1) 27-18, Bishop McDevitt (8-4) 30-27 and BC last week. This is heady stuff for LS and an 8th seed. They did it with an understated passing attack of first year starter Connor Nolt completing just 50% (84/169) for 1645 yards but for 19.58 yards per completion. Good stuff for a Spread/Wing-T! With a Td/Pick ratio of 16 to 3, they don’t self-destruct. The receiver corps is sure handed, led by Austin Stoltzfus (28/632, 6Tds) and Alex Knapp (24/410, 3 Tds). Beau Heyer (17-317) is a quiet threat with five touchdowns. Bryan McKim does the heavy lifting rushing for 1126 yards with dual threat Alex Knapp contributing 684 yards. All return in 2020 except McKim. Things ramp up in a major way Friday at 1 in Hollidaysburg against historic power Thomas Jefferson (14-0, Dist-7), who just defeated three time defending 4A state champ Cathedral Prep 28-13. They average 46ppg and allow 4 (60 total) with wins against Central Valley (12-1) 28-3, Belle Vernon (10-2) 41-7 and Cathedral Prep (11-3) last week. TJ is a machine, playing power football with one of the top OLs in the state; LT Michael Huber (6-0, 270), RT Mac Duda (6-4, 275), LG Jacob Krawczyk (6-4, 260) RG Logan Danielson (6-1, 265) and center Nick Trainor (6-0, 210). They are veteran in the backfield at quarterback with Shane Stump (6-1, 200, sr, 2384-58%, 33/1 ratio!) and running back Dylan Mallozzi (5-11, 185, sr, 1548) and at receiver with Danile Deabner (6-0, 180, sr, 44/950).
12 Wyomissing (12-1, 3A, Berks-2)
Wyomissing looked set for a deep run in States but Tamaqua (12-2, D-11) had other ideas, coming at them with a serious defense and running back that couldn’t be stopped. The defense kept Wyo’s offense out of the end zone, allowing Aiden Cirulli’s 35 yards filed goal and a fumble recovery in the end zone by NG Isiah Fernandez in the first half. That was it, with the Spartans finishing at 172 total offense and two turnovers. Nate Boyle led all rushers with 192 yards for Tamaqua who ending with 358 (192r, 165p) total yards of offense. Where was this team two months ago losing at home to Pottsville (11-3, 34-17), a team Wyo beat 31-17, and on the road to North Schuylkill (10-2, 27-18), before NS’s Qb Jaden Leiby suffered a serious neck injury. He is now out of ICU. For Tamaqua, Qb Brayden Knoblauch completed 10 of 18 passes for 165 yards. That, in conjunction with Boyle’s punishing runs and their defense was too much to overcome. They advance to the semifinal Friday at Wyoming Valley West HS in Kingston to play Wyoming Area (12-1) who defeated Montoursville (12-2) 43-27.
13 Berks Catholic (8-5, 4A, Berks-2)
Like Wyomissing, Berks Catholic who is also from the Berks-2 took a tumble to a team from the same conference that beat Wyo, the Lancaster-Lebanon-Section 2, falling to Lampeter Strasburg 35-21 at BC! A lot of similarities here with BC unable to generate much against the Pioneers, with but 172 total yards of offense and nine first downs. A major issue was 12 penalties for 76 yards, plus Bryan McKim now back and healthy for LS, gaining 125 yards on 18 carries. The Saints hung, battling to a 21-21 tie through the third with two late scores putting it away for Strasburg. BC’s Abdul MacFoy had a strong game rushing for 124 yards on 25 carries but that was it. Speedsters Colby Newton and Nolan Larkin were bottled up, held to 40 and 20 yards. The 8-4 season marked their lowest win total since the merger of Reading Central Catholic and Reading Holy Name in 2011.
14 Milton Hershey (10-2, 4A, MP-Capital)……..season over
15 Middletown (10-2, 3A, MP-Colonial)……..season over
Didn’t have some of Middletown’s stats last week to show running back Jose Lopez (5-9, 190) completed his career with a record 6182 career yards (1693 this year) with offers from Dartmouth and Georgetown. As impressive was their three year run to the 3A title game, losing in 2016, 2017 and 2018 with a record of 14-1, 14-1 and 13-2 in each of those respective years. What a run the last four years going 51-6 with three Silver Medals. They’ll miss Lopez next year but will field another potent team to compete for Mid Penn-Capital honors, battling the ever present Rollers of Steelton Highspire, but not Milton Hershey and their sophomore phenom running back Dion Bryant (5-8, 180, so) who move to the Keystone Conference.
16 Bishop McDevitt (8-4, 4A, MP-Keystone)……..season over
17 Exeter Township (9-4, 5A, Berks-1)……..season over
18 Susquehanna Township (7-4, 4A, MP-Keystone)……..season over. Moves from the Keystone to the MP-Colonial next year

20 Chambersburg (6-5, MP-Commonwealth)……..season over
Honorable Mention:
Richland (13-0, 2A, D6) beat Bishop McDevitt of Wyncote (7-7, D12) 29-21 in the 2A quarterfinal at Chambersburg HS. Play Southern Columbia (14-0, D4) in the semifinal at Selinsgrove HS Friday at 7.
Jersey Shore (11-3, 4A, D4, Heartland) beat Pottsville (11-3, D11) 42-35 in the 4A semifinal at Danville HS. Play Dallas (14-0, D2) in the 4A semifinal at Danville HS, Friday at 6.
Montoursville (12-2, 3A, D4, Heartland) lost 43-27 to Wyoming Area (12-1, D2) in the 3A quarterfinal at Wyoming Valley West HS in Kingston.
Upper Dauphin (12-1, 2A, Tri Valley) lost 63-22 to Southern Columbia (14-0, 2A, D4) in the 2A quarterfinal at Selinsgrove HS. NOTE: UDA will join the Mid Penn Conference with the rest of the Tri Valley League (TVL) in 2020 for the rebirth of the Liberty Division, mostly comprised of District-3 teams; Halifax, Juniata (D6), Line Mountain (D4), Newport, Susquenita and James Buchanan (D6), giving the sprawling Mid Penn Conference five divisions and 37 teams. Classification breakdown: 9-6A, 10-5A, 8-4A, 3-3A, 6-2A, 1-1A. Certainly is an aptly named conference!

Central Dauphin had a bye last week after winning the District-3 championship beating Harrisburg while their semifinal opponent Downingtown West was defeating Coatesville 48-36 to win the District-1 championship. The Rams are on a run, winning their last ten games since losing 10-7 at Manheim Township September 6th. The streak includes wins against State College (11-2) 34-13, Chambersburg (6-5) 28-23, Manheim Township (11-1) 35-34 2ot and Harrisburg (9-4) twice; 15-14 at their place, 27-20 at CD. State High, Township and Harrisburg were defeated on the road. The Whippets streak while not as long (5) is almost as impressive, winning those five by an average score of 48-30, with notable wins against North Penn (8-4) 40-31, Haverford (10-3) 49-42 and Coatesville (10-3) 48-36.

NOTE: UDA will join the Mid Penn Conference with the rest of the Tri Valley League (TVL) in 2020 for the rebirth of the Liberty Division, mostly comprised of District-3 teams; Halifax, Juniata (D6), Line Mountain (D4), Newport, Susquenita and James Buchanan (D6), giving the sprawling Mid Penn Conference five divisions and 37 teams. Classification breakdown: 9-6A, 10-5A, 8-4A, 3-3A, 6-2A, 1-1A. Certainly is an aptly named conference!
