The Colts played well for two plus quarters. Coach Sam Shutty has done a great job with his team after losing half of it to graduation. The Colts are still in the hunt for a D6 playoff spot and have a big game at Penns Manor next week. Danny Farrell is an awesome young man to watch and Zak Kirsch is a two way beast.

The Stingers may be surprising the community but not me. What a great cast of characters. Led by Cam Rising who gets better every week. You know how I feel about #7 who scored again. Trent Slovinsky added a TD but his defensive play was outstanding tonight. Carter Knox looked like Ndamukong Suh. Alec keeps making the big catch. Josh Troup has been money and his kickoffs outstanding. Stormer does it all from playing undersized tackle to pressuring the quarterback. Michael runs hard on every play delivering as good as he gets. TP awesome as usually, I have known him since 9th grade. No one is tougher pound for pound. I’m sure I missed a couple. Next week they are home against Purchase Line.
