Boe Davis had two sacks among five tackles as Central was limited to 99 yards total offense. Central's Everett Lee ran 15 times for 72 yards.

Catholic League
Red Division First Round La Salle 28, Ryan 7 Ryan Parfitt, a 5-9, 170-pound senior, carried 18 times for 117
yards and two TDs while becoming the first 1,000-yard rusher (1,005) in school history. He also caught a scoring pass from Gabe Marabella (4-for-8, 89, two TDs). Pete Varanavage (27-147) and Keith Roemhild (17-84, TD) ran well for Ryan, which outgained La Salle from scrimmage, 346-266. Bonner 21, Roman 7 Bonner coasted after Roman franchise Joe McCourt suffered a
concussion in the second quarter. Jason Smith rushed 28 times for 132 yards and two TDs and Bill Murrin (7-110) helped John Port pass 10-for-28 for 138 yards. McCourt gained 88 yards on 13 carries and raised his career total to 3,107, topping 1980 grad John Cason (3,019) for the school record. Lineman David Pringle made 14 tackles. Semifinals At Northeast SJ Prep 27, Bonner 13 Bonner, a 45-0 loser to Prep during the regular season, was still
very much alive early in the fourth quarter -- with the score at 13-13. Kyle Ambrogi's
second rushing TD broke the tie. Jim Lachman produced 91 yards on four catches, all in scoring drives. For Bonner, John Port passed 10-for-25 for 115 yards and scored once. At Norristown O'Hara 23, La Salle 21 In an all-timer and then some, the teams combined for 18 points in
the last 1:48 and O'Hara's Frank Vinci won it by kicking a 26-yard field goal with 0:06 left. For O'Hara, Mike Lomas passed 13-for-21 for 198 yards and a TD apiece to Ryan Barksdale (3-73) and Harry Dougherty (5-61), and Kevin Jones carried 30 times for 137 yards. For La Salle, Gabe Marabella passed 5-for-14 for 109 yards and ran for two TDs, including a 1-yard keeper with 0:51 left. Tom McCaffery's PAT made it 21-20. Final At Northeast O'Hara 35, SJ Prep 10 Capping a sensational career, Kevin Jones posted four TDs
and 196 all-purpose yards as the Lions rolled to an upset victory. He ran for scores of 2 and 39 yards, returned a kickoff 86 yards for another and made a 34-yard reception of a Mike Lomas Hail Mary pass for yet another. Lomas (6-for-12, 137 yards) also fired a TD pass to Ryan Barksdale. Prep entered at 12-0 and thus became the first team with a perfect record to fall in a CL title game since St. James in 1969. Kyle Ambrogi rushed for 50 yards and fell nine yards short of overtaking Judge's Bill Foley (2,116 in '68) for the No. 1 spot in CL one-season rushing. Mike McGann passed 18-for-37 for a game record 245 yards. Blue Division First Round Wood 37, Dougherty 14 Bill Hartley powered for 188 yards and four TDs on 32 carries --
tying the CL mark for most TDs in a playoff game. For Dougherty, Sean McGovern passed 17-for-36 for 140 yards, mostly to Mickey King (8-62) and Leonard Hodges (6-66). King,
also the punter, added 100 yards on four returns and nine tackles. In the regular
season, King had made four TD catches in an OT win over Wood, tying the city-leagues record for a game and raising his season total to a record 15. Neumann 28, West 7 Pasquale "Pat" Narducci carried 21 times for 113 yards and a TD
while Howard Bell turned five carries into two scores. Ed Jeffery was part of three sacks.
For West, halfback Abdul Sesay, not to be confused with fullback Abdulai Sesay (no
relation), ran 14 times for 113 yards and a 79-yard TD. West was missing several starters
due to academic ineligibility. Semifinals At Norristown Carroll 49, Neumann 0 In the biggest postseason blowout in Catholic League history,
Maurice Stovall got things rolling with an 85-yard kickoff return. Charlie Hurley and Mike Larkin
ran for two scores apiece while Derek Zambino scored once on a sneak and again on a 42-yard return of a blocked punt. With seven PAT, Marty Higgins claimed the city-leagues record for kicking points in a season (81). At Northeast McDevitt 28, Wood 21 Don Watkins (13-112) and Silas Moore (14-73) ran for one TD each
while Dave Melcher passed for a score and had a key interception, as did P.J. Chipman.
Wood's John Spinosa accounted for 243 yards total offense and three TDs -- rushing 18
times for 65 yards and one and passing 11-for-22 for 178 and two. Final At Northeast Carroll 42, McDevitt 10 The Patriots
spotted McDevitt a 10-0 lead, then stormed to victory while raising their season scoring advantage to an amazing 584-42 (45-3 average rounded off score). Brian Mattaway scored twice -- run, interception --
while Maurice Stovall (pass from Derek Zambino), Mike Larkin, Charlie Hurley
(runs) and Jeff Kobilka scored once apiece. Marty Higgins kicked six PAT to pad his city-leagues records for season (73) and career (118). In all, he
finished with five marks. Pat Kelly made 10 tackles and Jeff Vanak raised his career sack total to 50.5. For McDevitt, Dave Melcher (60-yard run) became only
the third CL player to score a TD vs. Carroll, joining West's Abdul Sesay and Neumann's Owen McGuire. Sean Hughes added a field goal.

Inter-Ac League
Season's Recap Malvern (4-0)
As always, the Friars finished league play a week before everyone
else and, as often, captured the crown. They went to 4-0 with a 20-19
win over Penn Charter. Throwing his first varsity passes due to Bill
Corbett's broken wrist, Matt Skellan went 9-for-18 for 167 yards and
a TD, and he was especially effective in the second half (6-for-7, 146)
as the Friars rallied from a 19-10 deficit. The victory margin came with
38.2 remaining when Brendan Carney, out of Skellan's hold (he was
new at that job, too), hammered a 30-yard field goal. GA, Haverford
and PC tied for second at 2-2.
