April 24, 2021 | Daniel Reed
For a team led by just 6 seniors, it sure didn’t take long for the Saints to show they came to play Friday night. Right away, on the opening kickoff, #23-Jayden Styles caught the ball and raced down field 80+yards to the endzone for the games first score of the night. After a failed two-point […]

Martin Luther King 20 Mastery North 00 @MasteryFootball @MLK_football @MLKCoachMalik
April 18, 2021 | David Burnworth
The spring season itself has been strange as has the season for Martin Luther King. I watched their opening game a win over Frankford. Since then had they not won nor had they scored again. Both of those things changed after their game with a hard-nosed defensive Mastery North squad. Speaking of defense the […]
Central 56 Roxborough 12 @josh1corbin @RoxFootball_ @CentralHighPHL
April 18, 2021 | David Burnworth
This was my 2nd time seeing Central and once again I walked away impressed, especially by their defense. The offense this time around was a lot more impressive than it was in their victory over Frankfort, the last time I watched them play. Number 33 for Central got the ball rolling when he raced to […]
Belmont Charter 24 Vaux 6 @Belmont_Charter @VauxCougarsFB
April 18, 2021 | David Burnworth
The two smallest football-playing schools in the city finally got to face an opponent their own size with each looking for their first win of the spring season. When all was said and done Belmont looked at times like a fine-toned offensive machine with enough defense to allow any doubt about who was the better […]
Imhotep 21 Onley 00 @OCHStrojans @TepFootball
April 18, 2021 | David Burnworth
This game was much closer than most expected it to be and that was largely in part to a motivated Onley defense, who deserved a lot more than their offense gave them. The offense problems the Onley offensive unit was strictly due to a big-time effort from the defensive effort from the Imhotep unit. […]

Benjamin Franklin overcomes Boys Latin 18-14 @BFHSNews @BoysLatinCS
April 11, 2021 | David Burnworth
Benjamin Franklin overcomes Boys Latin 18-14 @BFHSNews @BoysLatinFB Nafis Smith would cap off the game’s first scoring drive on a 2-yard run to give Benjamin Franklin a 6-0 lead with 8:30 left in the opening quarter. It would not take Boys Latin long to respond with their first score with Nehemiah Nelson making a 30-yard […]
John Bartram survives Simon Gratz 20-8 @ErikZipay @BravesBartram @GratzAthletics
April 11, 2021 | David Burnworth
Early into this contest #22 for Gratz would plant Hassane Kone into the ground for a nine-yard loss and from there those in at this contest would see a lot of nice defensive plays, with a splash of offense to keep this a very interesting game until things were settled. Bartram would face a […]
Imhotep Panthers Shut Down West Catholic @TepFootball @KeonWylie
April 11, 2021 | Tristan Klinefelter
Many experts say that in football you need to be able to execute in all three phases of the game. Saturday night in Germantown the only phase of the game the Imhotep Charter Panthers needed was their defense. In a big 27-0 win over the West Catholic Burrs the Panther’s defense held to just -3 […]
Imhotep makes quick work of West Catholic 27-0 @TepFootball @WCBurrs @WCP_athletics @WCPrep
April 11, 2021 | David Burnworth
Last night I went down to the field to get some pics of the game, a place where I seldom go. I am usually perched at the top of the bleachers as close to the fifty-yard line as I can get. With so many of the staff able to cover the game I […]

Northeast holds off furious Neumann Goretti comeback @NEVikingsFB @HEADSAINT
April 10, 2021 | Billy Splain
Solomanie Bambala hauls in one of two late tds Football is a game of momentum. When you have it, everything goes right. When you lose it, everything goes wrong. The Northeast Vikings experienced that first hand Friday night against the Saints in full fashion. The Vikings controlled the first three quarters but had to hold […]
