Martin Luther King 20 Mastery North 00 @MasteryFootball @MLK_football @MLKCoachMalik
April 18, 2021 | contributor
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 | contributor
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 […]

April 18, 2021 | contributor
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 | contributor
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. […]

April 11, 2021 | contributor
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 […]
