Strath Haven defeats Rustin 34-33 in an instant classic for District 1 5A title
November 27, 2021 | Zak Wolf
3 yards. That was what separated Quarterback Sam Milligan and his Strath Haven team from glory. To say this championship game was dramatic would be an understatement. In a game where both teams threw gut punch after gut punch, it was time for Milligan to deliver the knockout blow for Strath Haven. With his team […]

November 26, 2021 | Chris Masse sungazette.com/
Photo JS Garber I was befuddled when guidance counselor asked me what my future plans were. Just starting my freshman year at Garnet Valley High School, I had not planned ahead that far since my professional sports dreams died when I realized one needed skill in those arenas.

Bishop Shanahan PFN #7 Survives Monsignor Bonner & Archbishop Predergast PFN HM to Advance to the 4A Quarterfinals
November 22, 2021 | Marcus Sic
Halfway through the first Quarter it looked like the Shanahan Eagles were going to quickly depose of the Bonner & Pendergast Friars, after two Cooper Jordan scampers the Eagles led 14-0 , it looked like the Friars had no answer to the Eagles speedy offense or their smothering defense and the rout was on. Then […]

November 20, 2021 | Kameron Hammond
The Coatesville Red Raiders meant all business when it came to showing who is the superior Raider. Coatesville never seemed to take their foot off of the gas, even towards the end, where some starters were eventually pulled. The Red Raiders weren’t going to let that sour taste in their mouth last week go away. […]
