Lincoln downs South Philadelphia 22 to 0 to finish season 5-1. @LincolnHS801 @SouthPhilaHS @570Football

April 24, 2021  |  

I’ll just start off by saying, South Philadelphia ended their season how my day had been going from the start, nothing seemed to go right, I didn’t get to see much of the game as I didn’t arrive at the game until after mid third quarter so, unfortunately for us all, this will be a […]

Central 56 Roxborough 12 @josh1corbin @RoxFootball_ @CentralHighPHL

April 18, 2021  |
