Pennsbury's defense put together another stellar effort, holding CB South under 150 total yards, and FB #24 G Mulbah and the offense broke loose in the second half for a 28-6 win.
South started the scoring in the first quarter, following a Falcon fumble, with a short TD run to go up 6-0. Pennsbury answered with a long drive as QB #12 McGurrin kept on the option and scored from 9 yards out, and the Falcons took a 7-6 lead into halftime.
South fumbled the second half kickoff, but penalties set Pennsbury back and forced a punt. The Falcons D, however, gave Pennsbury some scoreboard breathing room with a pick six by LB #6 Wade off of a ball tipped at the line. Another short CBS drive was followed by a PHS missed 42-yard field goal. One play later, South fumbled again, and Mulbah punched it in from 4 yards out early fourth quarter for a 21-6 lead.
The Titans still had life after a nice kick return and screen pass helped set them up first and goal at the 3. Once again, Pennsbury's defense rose to the occasion and held firm, handing the ball to the offense at the PHS 9. Mulbah needed one play to ice the game, racing 91 yards for the final score of the night. The icing on the icing was an on side kick which the Falcons recovered, allowing them to bleed the clock down to one final South play.
Ground and Pound finished with 57 carries for 356 yards and 3 scores. Mulbah went over 200 for the second week in a row (27 for 229, 2 tds) and WB #7 Beighley complimented G with 17 for 94. McGurrin was 1 of 2 passing for 8 yards, but was also sacked a few times attempting to throw.
The Falcons defense is just playing viciously right now. They are straight-up getting after it, bringing people from somewhere seemingly on every play. LBs #9 Gabbett, #6 Wade and #29 Mullery are fast and active. The starting WBs, Beighley and #22 David, also started at CB, shoring up what may have been the weakest links on the defensive side.
Snyder used #18 to kick extra points for the first time, and he was a perfect 4 for 4. #87 has the bigger leg and still kicked off and also tried the long field goal.
Penalties were a problem for the Falcons, with two drives deep into South territory stalled by flags. Gabbett picked up an unsportsmanlike late hit out of bounds on the South QB on their scoring drive. To me, it felt more like a message than a mistake.
Week Six - CB East (5-0) comes to Truman HS to face the Falcons (4-1) for sole possession of first place in the SOL National. Everyone had this one circled in the preseason as a possible Game of the Year, right?
