Quarterfinals Doubleheader at Germantown Frankford 16, Overbrook 14 Ultimately, the difference-maker was Chris Britton's tackle for
a safety, which provided a 9-6 lead. Frankford received two rushing TDs from
Calvin Spires (17-131). Overbrook, the eighth seed and making just its second postseason appearance, countered with two TD passes from Sylvester "Lefty" Broxton (9-for-20, 112) to running back Richard Cooper (14-112). 'Brook advanced to Frankford's 22 on a late possession only to be pushed backward by three procedure penalties mixed in with a 10-yard sack. Washington 21, Central 14 The Eagles rolled to a 21-0 lead on rushing TDs by Fateen Brown
(21-66) and Akeem Smith (10-83) and a pass from Thomas Wilmer (6-for-9, 63) to running back Cecil Wise (13-85). Three of Demitrius Wilson's eight tackles went for losses and Wise had an interception. Michael Lloyd (10-63) ran for both Central TDs while John Kennedy generated 187 yards of rushing (13-131) and passing (3-for-6, 56). Doubleheader at Northeast Northeast 21, Gratz 2 Lamone Fox rushed 26 times for three TDs and 164 yards, raising his
career total to 3,120 yards, and had the game's lone interception. For Gratz, Donald "Shug" King carried 20 times for 81 yards and a TD. Germantown 18, Dobbins 12 Erik Frazier, who began the season playing for West Catholic (and
toiled for Father Judge in '04), returned a kickoff 84 yards for a TD and added two fumble
recoveries while Akeem Johnson posted 119 yards and a TD on 24 rushes. For Dobbins, Terrance Sample ran 13 times for 64 yards and a score, Wesley Brown passed 10-for-17 for 106 yards, and Randall Wilson made four tackles for losses
totaling 29 yards. Semifinals Day-Night Doubleheader at Northeast Frankford 13, Germantown 12 The Pioneers appeared headed for an easy victory after their
first two series produced rushing TDs for quarterback Ryan Hardy and Calvin Spires (14-71). But they later lost three fumbles and G-town drew within a point as backup QB Khalid Purnell posted a 1-yard sneak for a score on the second play of the
fourth quarter. The Bears had kicked just one PAT all season. They went for two and Alonzo Williams barely deflected Purnell's pass to Erik Frazier. Northeast 21, Washington 6 Charles McGinn, unable to play QB most of the season due to a
broken thumb, passed 6-for-8 for 78 yards and a 37-yard TD to Derek Butler and set up the game's first score, a four-yard run by Lamone Fox, with a 42-yard interception return that began at the goal line. Jordan Strickland's pressure helped to
produce McGinn's pick. Fox (21-63) ran for the clinching score right after Strickland recovered a bad punt snap on the Washington 5. Fateen Brown (12-49) ran for Washigton's score. Final At Northeast Frankford 14, Northeast 13 The Pioneers, who won their first two playoff games by three
points total, again walked the tightrope and had some hairy moments while making it
across. After Calvin Spires (16-80) ran 5 yards for a TD with 6:42 left,
second-year coach Mike Capriotti at first sent the kicking unit onto the field. He then
called time out and changed his mind after getting a signal to go for two from his
father, Ray; both had been rushing stars for Frankford. QB Ryan Hardy then ran for
the conversion. A strip/recovery by Jesse Joseph gave Northeast a last chance,
but three downs produced just two yards and Chris Mountney was unable to hit a 38-yard field goal. Christopher "Boobie" Wilson made a fumble recovery to
set up Spires' score and the Pioneers' first TD came on Nate Johnson's 33-yard
return of a midair fumble (hit by Damon Brockington/Chris Cruz). Charles McGinn
scored on a pair of 1-yard sneaks for Northeast while Lamone Fox rushed 22 times
for 98 yards.
State Playoffs Class AAAA Eastern Semifinal At Crum Stadium (Allentown) Bethlehem Liberty 42, Frankford 6 Playing for the second time in three days -- Thanksgiving had
produced a 12-0 defeat to 0-11 North Catholic -- and third time in eight, the tired Pioneers
were never in it. They rewarded their small contingent of fans (maybe 15; Liberty had
3,000) with a late score on a pass from Ryan Hardy to Maurice Bellinger. Class AAA District 1-12 Subregional Semifinal At Unionville Unionville 28, Bok 0 This year, Pub officials created a separate division, AAA, and the
champ was ineligible to compete for the title. The Wildcats again were blanked. Keith
Williams and Luke Lassiter rushed for 28 yards apiece while Williams totaled 123 yards on
five returns. Cortez McLaughlin made nine tackles and recovered a fumble. Nick
Perrone added eight stops.

Catholic League
Red Division First Round
At Widener
Judge 27, Roman 19
Justin DeCristofaro, disappointed over not receiving coaches'
All-Catholic
honors above honorable mention, passed 12-for-20 for 270 yards -- the No. 2
total in CL playoff history -- and three TDs as the Crusaders sentenced Roman
to a second consecutive loss in the 3-6 game. The strikes went to Andrew
McHale (3-78), Tom Hayes (3-66) and Mark Ryan and Joe Thompson made
it 27-13 with a rushing TD. Will Taggert added an interception. Dan Jordan
(pass), Rockeed McCarter and Sean Woods (runs) scored Roman's TDs.
At Truman
La Salle 28, Ryan 3
Frosh Will McFillin kicked a 22-yard field goal to stake Ryan to a
3-0 lead,
but La Salle wound up rolling mostly behind the passing of soph John Harrison
(13-for-24, 200, one TD apiece to Chris Ashley and Drew Wilkins). Ashley
(11-60, TD) and Chris Agnew (16-78) led the rushing attack and George
Hudson made an interception. Ryan's Rob "Cookie" Kilchrist ran 16 times
for 57 yards.
Semifinals
Back-to-Back Nights At Northeast
SJ Prep 53, Judge 9
The Hawks exploded for a 41-point first half behind rusher Jamir
Livingston
(11-132, three TDs) and QB Chris Whitney (65-yard TD run and scoring passes
of 57 yards to Bill Edger and 59 to Tom Elliott). Sub Bradley Wright went for
121 yards and two TDs on five carries. Wideout Tom Hayes, forced to move to
QB after an early injury to Justin DeCristofaro, went 1 yard for a TD and Matt
O'Shaughnessy, Judge's fourth kicker of the season, hit a 27-yard field goal.
O'Hara 35, La Salle 14
Linebacker Scott Taylor sparked a 28-0 second half by returning two
interceptions for TDs (17 and 40 yards) while the other scores came on a pass
from
frosh Tom Savage to Chris Myers and a run by John Dempsey (22-132). Savage
was filling in for Anthony Walters, who snuck 1 yard for a first half score and
then
injured his lower left leg early in the third quarter. For La Salle, soph John
Harrison
also posted a 1-yard TD and passed 12-for-23 for 174 yards and a score to Jack
Forster (7-107).
Final
At Northeast
SJ Prep 41, O'Hara 7
The Hawks were guilty of two early missteps in the form of a fumble
that led to
O'Hara's lone score, on Joe Juisti's 6-yard run, and a missed, chip-shot field
goal.
They were dominant thereafter, though, while claiming their fourth title in five
years
and raising coach Gil Brooks' total to five overall (also '97). That tied him
with the
late Dick Bedesem (Egan, five from '63 to '70) for the most championships in CL
history. Soph Jamir Livingston ran 32 times for 187 yards and four TDs, tying
the
city's postseason record, and classmate Tim Edger broke the mark for kicking
points
with 11 on two field goals and five PAT. O'Hara was held to one first down.
Blue Division First Round
At Plymouth-Whitemarsh
Carroll 41, Neumann-Goretti 27
Josh Halladay ran 21 times for 139 yards and the game's first and
last TDs and
had one in between on a 47-yard pass from Matt Cantafio (9-for-16, 161).
Cantafio
posted three TD passes, with the others going to Wiley Flowers (4-57) and
fullback
Jake Szulinski (another TD on a rush). For N-G, Mark Hatty passed 8-for-17 for
115 yards and three TDs -- two to Chuck French (3-55) and one to Hiram "H"
Bowman. It was the first time in city postseason history that each QB threw for
as
many as three TDs. Mark McPherson added a 47-yard run for a score. Flowers and
Ellis Rogers had interceptions for Carroll.
At Wissahickon
Conwell-Egan 27, McDevitt 21 (OT)
The Eagles rallied from a two-touchdown deficit in the final 17
minutes and lived
something of a charmed life in OT. Kevin Schafer scored on a 1-yard keeper, but
the
Eagles were vulnerable after the PAT was missed. McDevitt star Manny Harrison
(32-163, all three TDs) then fumbled close to the goal line and Tom McCue
recovered
in the end zone to end it. Schafer generated 151 yards of rushing and passing,
five of
his eight tackles were solos and he also made an interception. Plus, he
completed a
conversion pass to Steve Herrmann to necessitate OT. Rasuel Thomas ran 10 times
for 63 yards and two tallies.
Semifinals
At Widener
West Catholic 12, Carroll 0
Down lineman Kirk Hinton made an early interception to set up a
19-yard scoring
run by Dennis Shaw (28-215) and Anthony Rhoades "gained" 45 yards on four sacks
and another TFL. Carroll had just 44 yards total offense. Chris Farmer added two
sacks while other interceptions went to Matt Ambrosine and Christopher Palmer.
Carroll's Ryan Downs and Geof Prather also had picks.
At Wissahickon
Wood 43, Conwell-Egan 0
Bryan McCartney (24-131) rushed for the first two TDs and Matt
Little scored once
apiece on a rush and catch while also notching an interception. The other TD
pass
thrown by Joe Kosich (11-for-19, 98) went to Chris Lorditch (also a field goal
and
four PATs). C-E's Rasuel Thomas ran 12 times for 56 yards.
Final Wood 30, West Catholic 12
At Northeast
This one turned in the blink of an eye. The game's first score came with
40.5 seconds
left in the first half as Joe Kosich (7-for-16, 86 yards) whipped a 14-yard pass
to
Chris Lorditch. Pat Devlin followed immediately with an interception and a
44-yard
return to the West 15, then on the ensuing play eased into the end zone and
snagged
a 15-yard pass at 16.5. Bryan McCartney (24-115; 3,671 for career) and sub
Patrick
Avallon ran for second-half TDs and Lorditch kicked a 24-yard field goal. For
West,
which suffered a fourth consecutive title-game defeat, the headliners were Wayne
Donahue (11 tackles, TD run) and John Maddox (interception, TD catch).

Inter-Ac League
Season's Recap Malvern (4-0)

and giving coach Gamp Pellegrini his 18th title (14 outright) in 18 years
as well as his 250th win in 39 city seasons at three schools. Episcopal
was held to 39 yards and three first downs. Jimmie Cotton ran eight
times for 126 yards and two scores. The Friars were hoping to finish
