Ethan Dorrell’s 4 TD’s lead Cedar Cliff to last minute win over Cocalico @CedarCliff_AD @CocalicoSports @CocalicoFball
September 3, 2021 | Billy Splain
Cedar Cliff quarterback Ethan Dorrell threw for 237 yard and three scores and scampered 39 yards for another, leading the Colts to a 33-27, last minute win over Cocalico. But it was his play in the fourth quarter that was the deciding factor. “We knew and we talked to the kids all week about how […]

BEA Topples Troy 20-0 (Gallery) @TroyASD @Masonimbt50 @EliCrane10 @CoachJNagle
August 29, 2021 | Billy Splain
In the first drive Bald Eagle made things look easy. From that point on, the Troy defense did everything they could to make life difficult for the Eagles. The Troy defense held strong the rest of the night, but the Troy offense couldn’t get on track and Bald Eagle handed the Trojans a 20-0 loss to […]

Imhotep wins defensive slugfest over Central Catholic @TepFootball @PCC_FOOTBALL
August 28, 2021 | Billy Splain
It wasn’t easy at times for either team. Each team brought a defense that was as stifling as the heat on this hot summer night. But when it mattered, the Panther offense came through. Following a fumble by Central Catholic late in the game with the game tied at 6, Imhotep’s offense finally got the […]

Sto-Rox defense paves way to win over Bishop Sycamore @Chise89
August 28, 2021 | Billy Splain
Defense wins football games. There hasn’t likely been a term about the sport used more than that one. And last night the Viking of Sto-Rox lived up to that moniker. Trailing by 7 late in the second, the Viking defense forced a fumble and drove to the Centaurian goal line, but a fumble as the […]
