April 17, 2021 | Billy Splain
It pains me to say this. The United X Championship for spring football was declared a “No Contest” per PIAA rules concerning Covid-19 protocols. Last evening the Truman Tigers learned of a positive covid test to one of their players. They notified the Chester School District of the situation and this morning a decision was […]

April 17, 2021 | Alec Eskin

Academy Park suffocates potent Chester offense 29-14 @AParkFootball @CLIPPERS_FB
April 11, 2021 | David Burnworth
I know from watching how good the Chester offense was because I had watched them once before during the spring season. I had asked other members of the PFN staff what to expect from Academy Park and then a projection on Calpreps.com. By the time this one was over, I will only say everyone […]

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.

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 […]

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.

April 10, 2021 | Daniel Reed
Second half surge by Crusaders junior running back Billy Whiteley lifts team to comeback victory 23 to 13 over Norristown. It didn’t start out that well for the Crusaders in the first half though as Norristown put points on the board just over midway thru the first quarter when quarterback Nicholas DiNolfi connected with wide […]

April 9, 2021 | Billy Splain
Matthew Salas had the game winning td and an interception “It’s been fun so far, we left two scores off the board there in the game. We’d like to have seen more continuity on the line but not bad for our first game.” That was Samuel Fels head coach Bill Harrigan talking about his teams […]

April 5, 2021 | Marcus Sic
Father Judge’s power running game scored on two of their first three plays to start the fourth quarter, stretching a tenuous three point lead over Harry S. Truman, to an unsurmountable seventeen. Judge’s Junior running back Billy Whitely burst through a hole scoring from the sixteen yard line on the first play of the Forth […]
A complete team effort leads Jamestown to the 47-6 win over Hamburg @HHSgridiron @JHSFootball1 @wny_football @HSFBamerica
April 4, 2021 | David Burnworth
Friday my travels took me to Jamestown to watch the battle between Hamburg and Jamestown. I have to say that Strider Field is a place you have to see a game if you are one who likes to see games at different stadiums. I am willing to bet under a normal year this place rocks […]
Defensive line key in the Southwestern 31-12 win over a game Fredonia team @CoachJSherlock @CoachSherlock62 @FredoniaFTBL @NickWhitfieldJr @swcsfootball @wny_football
April 4, 2021 | David Burnworth
My Saturday night game took me to Charles A, Lawson Field the home of the Southwestern Trojans for a match-up with Fredonia Hillbillies. The Trojans would need to contain big Nick Whitfield, the Hillbillies very talented young quarterback if they hoped to win this game. For the Hillbillies, I believe they had to have a […]

Imhotep defense waiting to make the next play A Panther defense loaded with division 1 recruits should look sharp every game.
