Hello and welcome back to PFN’s Willie Wants to Know What the Heck happening in District I& XII this week.

We are back after hiatus and Week Zero is in the books so let’s tatk a look at What the heck’s happening in District’s I & XII this week!!

A Milestone for Downingtown West

With their 48-13 over Highland Regional this past Friday at Ocean City NJ Carney Stadium the Whippets picked up the 600^th  victory in school history.

A successful trip to the beach for Neshaminy

Downingtown West wasn’t the only local team that made the trek down to the Jersey Shore game on Friday the Neshaminy Redskins visited Ocean City’s Carney Stadium and battled the host Ocean City coming away with 21-0 victory in the Battle at the Beach

A Shut Out for Lower Merion

The Bulldogs 34-0 victory over Pottstown on Friday marked the first shut for Lower Merion in at least 5 years.

Clippers Sail To Victory

The Chester Clippers basketball is used to routinely putting big numbers on the scoreboard but Saturday morning the Clippers exploded and scored 80 points beating the visiting Central Lancers 80-0. The 80 points scored is obviously a school record for Chester but surprisingly not a Delaware County record. According to Daily Times reporter Matt Smith the Delco record for most points scored in a game is 84 which was done by Lansdowne (Now Penn Wood) over Swarthmore (Now Strath Haven) all the way back in 1922.

Getting Their first career victories

Congratulations are in store for Garnet Valley’s Eric VanWyk, Radnor’s Kyle Yeiter and Boyertown’s Justin Konnick all of whom picked up their first career victories this past weekend.

Historic night for Boyertown

On Friday the Bears scored 61 in a 61-0 victory Upper Perkiomen. According to the Bears football twitter account that is the fourth time in school history the Bears scored over 60 in a game and was their first shutout since 2010.
