Pennsbury falls to 0-7 after a semi-competitive 28-9 loss to UD. PHS opened the game with 9 straight runs for 56 yards, settling for a FG and 3-0 lead. The D maintained the momentum with an INT on Upper Dub's first drive. But Pennsbury's next 4 drives netted only 31 yards, and UD's next 4 went TD (4 yd run), TD (11 yd pass), Halftime, TD (14 yd run). The Cardinals chose death by 1000 cuts for the Falcons - their longest play of the day was 20 yards. PHS still had a shot, down 21-3, after a UD missed FG late 3rd quarter. Pennsbury's subsequent drive, the best of the game (season?), went 14 plays (9 run/5 pass) for 80 yards, capped off with a 5 yd TD run. The defense again held serve, forcing a 3 and out. But Dublin got a great roll on the punt, downing it at the PHS 1 yard line. Two plays and a pick later, the game was all but over. A UD 1 yd TD run with 58 seconds left added the final nail to the Falcons' coffin. PHS finishes the season with three home games, starting with CB South (5-2), followed by theoretically winnable games vs Abington and Neshaminy (both 1-6).

Final stats:
PHS rushing - 33 for 160, TD
PHS passing - 3-11 for 38, INT
UD rushing - 36 for 157, 3 TD
UD passing - 13-16 for 124, TD, INT
 
Very good recap Hood, it really makes you wonder why the coach calling plays waits until end of 3rd quarter beginning of the 4thQ to finally mix up the offense? I’m sure McShane knows football but like I have stated before he is the worst head coach in HS football. How do you not play kids both ways when so young and undersized. Maybe make a practice plan everyday and follow it? He has been just doing his time to get paid! McShane needs to be fired tomorrow!
