Quarterfinals Frankford 39, Bartram 0 The Pioneers tied a school record with their seventh shutout (also
1933, '41) in just eight games while limiting the Braves to 43 yards total offense. Andre Mungin had an interception. Arnold Mullins turned half of his six carries into TDs, along with 88 yards. Lamont Brown passed 4-for-7 for 120 yards and two scores to Michael Washington (2-110). Central 15, King 8 Marcel Quarterman rushed 13 times for 72 yards, made two
interceptions and passed 5-for-13 for 89 yards and one TD apiece to Jordan Anderson and Rodney Sykes. Sykes iced the win with a late-game pick. Quindel "Milky" Ladson made 15 tackles and Cornelius Bunch had two tackles for losses. Jared Williams ran for King's TD while Sammy Tranks ran nine times for 63 yards and posted an interception. Dobbins 22, Mastbaum 21 (OT) Reserve quarterback Steve Sydnor rallied the Mustangs from a 14-6
deficit with TD and conversion runs in regulation. In OT, Mastbaum went first and received a 2-yard TD run from Jadrien "J.J." Reynolds and PAT from David Pough. Sydnor immediately hit Nate Gravely with a 10-yard scoring pass and fullback Greg Myers (14 tackles) ran for two on an option to end it. Sydnor was intending to pull the ball from Myers' belly. Myers wouldn't let that
happen. Washington 21, Bok 6 Jerry Butler ran 13 times for 132 yards and two TDs as the Eagles
finally dented Bok's defense, which had recorded a school-record four consecutive shutouts. Zimier McCloud had nine solos among 12 tackles (two for losses) while Ricardo Rivera and Brandon Sanders made interceptions. Bok QB Allen Major ran 15 times for 78 yards. Semifinals Doubleheader at Northeast Frankford 48, Central 24 Though the Pioneers boasted a school record seven shutouts in eight
games, they were scorched for 24 points in the first 29 minutes. They then regrouped and won going away. The rushing was paced by Arnold Mullins (19-176, TD), Jeremy Benson (19-90, two) and soph Brandon Norris (4-52, two), and Lamont Brown passed 11-for-15 for 121 yards and a score to Michael Washington (5-50). Washington made 11 solo tackles. For Central, junior Joe Marshall made his first start at QB in place of the injured Marcel Quarterman and was nothing short of sensational. He passed 9-for-13 for 191 yards and two TDs to Jordan Anderson (4-120) and rushed 16 times for 66 yards (257 total offense). Quindel "Milky" Ladson ran 50 yards for a TD and made 17 tackles. Washington 21, Dobbins 14 After Chuck Hughes (also two interceptions) recovered a fumble with
1:22 remaining, Jerry Butler ran 23 yards for a TD at 0:37 to give the Eagles a
stirring victory. They were trailing, 14-13. Butler finished with 22 carries for 230
yards and two scores and Rich McFillin threw a 35-yard scoring pass to Jeremiah Pitt. For Dobbins, Ariel Simmons collected an interception and fumble recovery,
tackled Butler at the 1 late in the first half to prevent a TD, and caught a TD pass
from Maurice Whitaker. Rashad "Reds" Williams scampered 60 yards for a score. Final At Northeast Frankford 12, Washington 0 The Pioneers (11-0) sent coach Tom Mullineaux into expected retirement by giving him a second consecutive title (four total) and
extending their winning streak to 20 games. Also, they set a school record with their eighth shutout. Jeremy Benson (16-84) and Arnold Mullins (13-67) ran for one TD apiece while soph Brandon Norris added 80 yards on eight carries. Ervin Hook picked up a blocked punt and ran for first-down yardage, setting up Mullins' score. He also had an interception at the 10 to preserve the shutout. Andre Mungin also had a pick. Isaiah "Zeke" Thompson posted two sacks and Ray Williams recovered a fumble. For Washington, junior Jerry Butler (15-37) lifted his season rushing total to a school
record 1,247. This game was postponed by snow, from a Saturday to the following Wednesday night, and was played in the rain on a surface that
was muddy even beforehand.

Red Division First Round At Plymouth-Whitemarsh La Salle 28, Ryan 14 Max Mullineaux ran 11 times for 140 yards and a 59-yard TD (he also
had a 60-yard gain) and Mike Lynch passed 10-for-16 for
130 yards and a 49-yard score to Chris Garzone (3-67); Brian Hogan also had a good night receiving (4-55). Hogan and Rob Forster had
interceptions. Lineman Kevin Donohoe made seven tackles. For Ryan, Tim Roken passed 13-for-29
for 184 yards, mostly to Rick Ferraiolo (8-141). At Northeast Roman 21, Judge 17 Judge, 1-6 in division play, came close to a monumental upset, but a
45-yard TD pass from Dale Curry (11-for-20, 180 yards) to Carl Peterson with 42 seconds left was
wiped out by an illegal procedure penalty. Alex Garcia recovered a fumble (forced by Charron
Fisher) three plays later. Evin Jones ran 15 times for 79 yards and a TD and scored the
winning TD on a 5-yard flip from Andre Sloan-El with 1:22 left. The drive covered 50 yards in 12
plays; Jones' 37-yard kickoff return set it up. Semifinals At Northeast St. Joe's Prep 41, La Salle 14 The Prep extended its winning streak to 34 games in rather easy
fashion after allowing La Salle to take a quick 7-0 lead. Dan Jones (18-251) and soph John Shaw (15-109)
ran for two TDs apiece while sharing the tailback slot, as they had all season. Each went
over 1,000 for the season. Greg Ambrogi turned his 12th interception of the season into a
50-yard TD return. La Salle's Mike Lynch passed 8-for-25 for 176 yards and a TD to Chris Garzone.
The meeting was the teams' second of the season. A few days earlier, La Salle had announced
the cancellation of the Thanksgiving game. At Plymouth-Whitemarsh O'Hara 35, Roman 0 The Lions roared to 392 yards total offense as Matt Gough (9-127,
two TDs) and Anthony Heygood (15-112, TD) handled the rushing and Matt Campbell passed 3-for-8 for 87
yards and one TD apiece to Sean Barksdale and Tom Creighton. Thirteen of Roman's 54
plays lost yardage and Mike Kimpel had three of the nine sacks. Final At Plymouth-Whitemarsh St. Joe's Prep 45, O'Hara 7 Steve Quinn recovered the opening kickoff on the O'Hara 11, Dan
Jones immediately ran for a TD and the Lions were as good as done against this powerhouse. Soph John Shaw tied a city postseason record with four TDs while rushing 19 times for 98 yards. Mark Noonan passed for a TD to Quinn and ran for one of his own. The Hawks (12-0) extended their city record winning streak to 35 games and were dubbed the best team in school history by coach Gil Brooks. Brandon Friday, Matt Parkhurst and Charlie Noonan, Mark's brother, had sacks as O'Hara was held to 75 yards total offense. Blue Division First Round Canceled. A teachers' strike forced postponement of two brackets
until the end of the season. CL officials decided to cut the playoffs from six teams to four. Semifinals At Northeast Wood 13, Neumann 7 John McFadden's second interception set up the winning TD, scored on
a controversial 17-yard run by Mike Kruzits with 23 seconds remaining. His forward progress
appeared to be stopped; there was no whistle. Soph Bryan McCartney ran 25 times for 75
yards. Dane Mangin scored Wood's other TD on a sneak after coach Art Barrett took three
points off the scoreboard in the wake of a roughing-the-kicker penalty. For Neumann, Billy
Canady caught a 57-yard pass from Jon Brady to set up his own TD run. At Norristown West Catholic 32, Carroll 27 The Burrs roared back from a 20-0 deficit as Curtis "Boonah"
Brinkley ran 39 times for 225 yards, raising his career total to exactly 7,200, and four TDs. In a late
October game vs. North Catholic, Brinkley had claimed the city marks for rushing yardage in a
game (399, breaking 379) and career (6,351, breaking 6,122). Will Burke passed
7-for-13 for 131 yards and a TD to soph John Maddox (6-87). For Carroll, Rich Wood ran for two
early TDs before suffering an injury. Ryan Stewart (8-111) and Mike McMahon (18-93)
rushed for one score apiece. Final Blue Division At Northeast Wood 17, West Catholic 14 The Vikings completed their first perfect season (11-0) in
school history while capturing their first title since 1978. Tom Laurich won it
by kicking a 35-yard field goal with 4:22 left. Mike Kruzits (10-52) ran 10 yards for
a TD and Dane Mangin hit James Harrigan with a 13-yard TD pass
with just 0:02 left in the first half. Mangin finished 6-for-9 for 85 yards; he entered the game averaging 22 passing yards. Soph
Bryan McCartney ran 22 times for 134, padding his school record season total to 1,417. Shane Rose made two tackles on star rusher Curtis "Boonah" Brinkley to
thwart West's final drive, which advanced as close as the 30. Tim
Kilkenny, who earlier posted an interception, broke up what could have been a
TD pass in the end zone. Brinkley ran for TDs of 70 and 81 yards and
finished with 19 carries for 213 yards. He concluded his career with city records
for carries (1,007) and yards (7,413).
