QUARTERFINALS Doubleheader at Germantown Frankford 58,
Olney 12: The Trojans were justifiably
excited about making their first postseason appearance in the program's 75-year Pub history, but Frankford proved to be far too difficult a nut to crack. Calvin Spires ran 12 times for 139 yards and two TDs before injuring his shoulder while Ervin Goodson, the team's ballboy in '05, scored once apiece on a run and a punt return in addition to hitting four PATs. Mike Reyes scored twice for Olney on returns -- 83 yards with a kickoff, 31 with a fumble. Northeast 9, Bok 0: Sean Evans scored the TD on a 9-yard fumble return (forced by Darryl Dawson) and made two significant contributions (catch for 23 yards; spectacular sideline snag that was wiped out only because an interference call produced more yardage)on a drive that produced Tim Freiling's clinching 21-yard field goal. Bok lost a fumble on what must have been the 1-inch line and Kennard Martin recovered in the end zone. Luke Lassiter ran 19 times for 98 yards. Because of its participation in the state AAA playoffs, Bok had been unable to go for the Pub title in 2004 and '05. This year, coach Tom DeFelice had decided to bag the quest for a state title if his team had reached the PL final. At Gratz Dobbins 28,
Central 19: This was the first playoff
game on the new artificial surface and Darrell "Butta" Brown made it a memorable occasion, coming within seven yards of five receiving TDs. As it was, he scored three while making six catches for 135 yards on passes from Wesley "Jelly" Brown (10-for-15, 197) -- the squad also included offensive handyman Kevin "Peanut" Brown. The Browns were not related. Darrell added a fourth score on a 79-yard kickoff return as well as a trick-play conversion run for 26 points. He was stopped at the 3 and 4 on other receptions. For Central, option QB John Kennedy ran 21 times for 123 yards and three TDs and soph NG Michael Anhalt, making just his second start, logged two sacks and two other TFLs while adding a blocked PAT. At Northeast Washington 43,
Bartram 0: The Eagles wound up
cruising behind the passing of Clinton Granger (6-for-9, 105; TD to Brian Carter) and rushing of Fateen Brown (16-76). Carter had 99 yards of rushing/receiving and one other TD. Bartram's John "Fudgie" Pratt ran 13 times for 84 yards. SEMIFINALS Doubleheader at Northeast Frankford 32,
Dobbins 6:
Though its top two
rushers, Calvin Spires (shoulder)
and Nate Johnson (ankle), were sidelined, Frankford cruised as Andreas Hudson
passed 6-for-11 for 147 yards and three TDs -- two to Ervin Goodson (4-104),
the ballboy during the '05 season, and one to Warren Tinsley. Chris Spence
returned one of his two interceptions for a 44-yard TD while adding 87 yards on
15 carries. Wesley "Jelly" Brown (6-for-20, 100) passed to Darrell "Butta" Brown
(no relation) for the Mustangs' score.
Washington 19, Northeast 10:
Brian Carter, QB Clinton "Juice" Granger
and
Jay Sloh ran for one TD apiece, but the leading ground-gainer, by far, was
Fateen
Brown (25-158). Granger's one pass fell incomplete. Devon Wallace and Aaron
Hampton made interceptions while three of the tackles made by Oliver Wallace,
Devon's brother and fellow outside linebacker, went for losses. Lawrence Kent
ran for NE's score, Tim Freiling kicked a 41-yard field goal and Sean Evans
notched four catches for 37 yards in addition to five solos among nine tackles.
Brennan Shapiro totaled 10 stops.
FINAL
At Northeast
Frankford 15, Washington 14:
On fourth and goal from a foot, Ervin
Goodson
hammered an 18-yard field goal high and true through the uprights as the
Pioneers
went to 4-0 all-time in finals decided by one point. Steven Ortega and Terrell
Lewis
had combined to drop Washington's punter (dropped snap) for an 11-yard loss back
to the 5 with 2:18 left. Washington called two timeouts in an attempt to ice
Goodson,
who was attempting his first career FG. Frankford's TDs went to Goodson (3-76)
on a pass from Andreas Hudson (7-for-13, 130 yards) and Nate Johnson on a run.
Josh Burnett and Dwayne Lewis, Terrell's brother, halved 16 tackles. Fateen
Brown
(21-82) and Jay Sloh ran for Washington's TDs while Rich McPhail and Anthony
Bright posted picks.
State Playoffs Class AAAA District 1-12 Subregional Semifinal At Germantown Garnet Valley 26, Bok 8 With the timetable for the state playoffs altered, Bok was able to
compete in the Pub playoffs (lost to Northeast in quarterfinals ) and make
this appearance two weeks later. The Wildcats scored first on a keeper by QB Mike Nelson, but later were victimized by a punt that hit the personal protector in the back and resulted in
a huge loss, beginning the slide to defeat. Maurice "Rookie" Goodwin, mostly a receiver
all season, carried 17 times for 101 yards. Luke Lassiter managed 18-87 to claim the school record for rushing yards in a season (1,088). Jeremy Morris made nine
tackles (one for a loss) and forced a fumble. Terry Lee had a sack and three TFLs among eight stops and recovered a fumble. Class AAAA State Quarterfinal At Northeast Bethlehem Liberty 35, Frankford 15 This one was played nine days after Thanksgiving, so fatigue was not an
issue. The Pioneers, thanks in part to turnovers, fell into a 35-0 hole before posting
two fourth-quarter TDs -- Andreas Hudson's pass to J.C. Montgomery, Nate Johnson's run -- against second-line defenders. Tyree Dudley mixed two TFLs with a forced fumble. Liberty's band had more members (230) than Frankford's rooting section.

Catholic League
Red Division First Round At Northeast La Salle 39, O'Hara 38 (OT) Expected not to play
because of an injury, John Harrison passed 17-for-29 for 173 yards and three TDs and, most importantly, a two-point conversion to conclude a thrilling game. His scoring tosses went to Joe Migliarese (8-54, two) and Jack
Forster (8-112, one) and the conversion went to the former, as did a 2-yard TD flip that preceded it. After O'Hara called time to ice kicker Ryan Cain (four PATs, one
field goal), first-year La Salle coach Drew Gordon decided to gamble and go for two. Andrew
Wood (fumble) and Matt Day (interception) scored defensive TDs for La Salle. For
O'Hara, Tom Savage passed 9-for-18 for 180 yards and one TD while Chris Smith made four catches for 117 yards. Corey Brown rushed 15 times for 120 yards and two TDs,
one to conclude regulation and another to start OT. At Northeast N. Catholic 30, Judge 27 This was quite the
red-letter occasion for North. Terrell Oglesby (12-195) and Daryl Robinson (15-154) raced for one and two TDs, respectively, as the Falcons rolled
to 426 total yards and won a postseason game for the first time since 1956 (12-0
over Lincoln for the City Title). Also, it was their first triumph in a CL playoff
since '37 (13-0 over SJ Prep in a final necessitated by a tie for first place in the
standings). In all, Robinson generated 265 yards of rushing/receiving/returning and lost an 84-yard
score on a punt return to penalty. He did catch a scoring pass from Dennis Logue and
make two of the Falcons' five interceptions. Oglesby, Rich Cruz and Ryan McCullough
also had picks. For Judge, Tim McHale scored on a punt return and a pass from Paul
Volpe (7-for-16, 135, two TDs). Semifinals At Northeast SJ Prep 36, N. Catholic 0 With dominant line play,
the Hawks squeezed the life from this one to enter a spot in the final for year No. 7 in a row. In its other 10 games, North averaged 25.6
points and 2.4 interceptions. This was the second meeting against Prep that produced
zero and zero in those categories. Chris Whitney started the party with a 4-yard TD on a
keeper, then passed for three TDs and 108 yards while going 5-for-9. His receiving
leaders were Steve Schell (two TDs) and Brian Brinkmann (one, 2-82). He also had a pick. For
North, Dennis Logue passed 10-for-20 for 85 yards, mostly to Daryl Robinson (4-38) and
Stan Waclawski (4-29). At Germantown La Salle 28, Roman 7 John Harrison tied the
city postseason record with four TD passes, raising his '06 total to 29, while going 13-for-25 for 189 yards as the Explorers avenged a double-OT
loss in the final game of the regular season. Jack Forster made seven catches for 118
yards and two scores while uncorking punts of 49 and 52 yards and completing a 22-yard
pass in a game-opening scoring drive. Chris Ashley ran 24 times for 71 yards. Sean
Saverio notched one full sack along with two partials, and three of his other
five stops were made at the line of scrimmage. Scott Waters, John McBurnie, JB Campanella and Dom
Baker also made one or more visits to Sack City as the Explorers posted seven for
minus-53 yards. Chris Johnson passed 4 yards to Matt Marcinek for Roman's TD on the final
play of the first half. Final At Northeast La Salle 14, SJ Prep 7 These private-school rivals canceled their Thanksgiving game
and played the next night before an overflow crowd. La Salle, a 42-14 loser in the regular season matchup,
survived in this one, despite being outgained, 390-175, by forcing two fumbles at the 1
and making interceptions at the goal line and 1 yard deep in the end zone. The Explorers'
first TD came when Jack Forster and Rob Saraceni forced a fumble within a whisker at the
goal line and Greg Frantz picked up the ball and dashed 96 yards for a TD; it was the
longest fumble return for a score in city postseason history. Saraceni had the other
recovery while Mike Donohoe (goal line, last play of first half) and Jack Forster (1-yard into
end zone, fourth quarter) made the interceptions. On the Prep's final play, JB Campanella
and John McBurnie combined for a sack. Andrew Wood (15), Campanella (13) and Sean Saverio (11) racked up large tackles numbers as Prep ran 72 plays. La Salle had zero
rushing yards, but John Harrison passed 17-for-29 for 175 yards (he finished with a city record
for completions in a season, with 200) and a TD to Joe Migliarese (7-84) and was
sacked just once. It was the second time in three years that a first-year CL coach won a
title (Drew Gordon for La Salle, Joe Powel for Wood in '04). The Explorers became the first
Red team to win the title without having the luxury of a first-round bye and just the
third team in CL history to capture a crown after losing three league games (also Judge in '81
and '83).
Blue Division First Round At Germantown Neumann-Goretti 13, Carroll 12 Mark McPherson (15-87)
and Anthony Sample ran for N-G's touchdowns while Sample and Darrell Dulany (game-ender) made interceptions. Adam Malatino posted 12
tackles and recovered the ball in the end zone after vicious hits by Sample and Dulany
caused QB/holder Matt Cantafio to fumble inches from the goal line on a fake-kick try
for two from the 1 1/2 with 5:28 left. Malatino also ran 79 yards to the 1 on his only
carry to set up Sample's TD. Cantafio, mostly a passer all season, ran 12 times for 116 yards
and the TD that advanced the Patriots within 13-12. At Wissahickon Conwell-Egan 27, McDevitt 7 Kevin Schafer passed
15-for-25 yards for a school record 281 yards and the highest total in CL postseason history. One TD apiece went to Jim Domzalski (3-51) and Dave
Kuebler (2-34) while soph Ryan Golin made five snags for 135 yards. The performance
enabled Schafer to raise his career yardage total to 3,013. Domzalski also rushed for
one score, Bryan Hanratty collected nine points on two FGs and three PATs and Steve McLeon
made two interceptions. McDevitt's Jason Golderer rushed 17 times for 114 yards and
one TD. Semifinals At Plymouth-Whitemarsh W. Catholic 42,
Conwell-Egan 7: The Burrs earned a
trip to the final for the fifth consecutive year by rolling to a surprisingly easy victory; C-E had won the
first meeting, 26-12. Dennis Shaw raced for 119 yards and three TDs on 17 carries and soph
Curtis Drake passed 5-for-8 for 127 yards and a score to Rob Holloman; Holloman also tallied
on a 69-yard punt return. Dennis Fox, a late-season addition to the team, went
6-for-6 on PATs. Haleem "P-Nut" Hayward and Herman Hinton logged interceptions. C-E's Kevin
Schafer passed 8-for-22 for 78 yards and a TD to Dave Kuebler. At Northeast Wood 16, Neumann-Goretti 6 A month after breaking
both bones in his left forearm (screws in one, plate in the other), Matt Little came off the bench late in the first quarter to rush for 110 yards
and a TD on 28 carries. The Vikings' other TD went to Pat Devlin on a 63-yard pass from sub
QB Sean McCartney. Devlin had filled in admirably for Little at tailback -- his first
appearance yielded a school record of 281 yards. Matt Clark made a tackle for a fourth
quarter safety. For N-G, Mark Hatty passed 7-for-16 for 135 yards and a TD to Joe Gionfriddo,
Adam Malatino made 14 tackles and interceptions went to Preandre Watson, Haleem
Johnson and Darrell Dulany. Final At Northeast W. Catholic 20,
Wood 12: The Burrs snapped a string of
six title-game defeats (1966-67 overall, 2002-05 in Blue) to earn a grid plaque for the first time since '65 and
their first in a major sport since '79 (baseball). Raymond Maples and quarterback Curtis Drake
ran for TDs of 55 and 44 yards and Drake whipped a 17-yard scoring pass to Rodney Blango
to expand a 14-12 lead after Wood missed a try for a go-ahead field goal. Isiah
Edmond had a sack and two other TFLs among seven stops while interceptions went to Marquese Sanders, Dennis Shaw (20-86 rushing; 3,444 career yards) and Haleem "P-Nut"
Hayward. For Wood, soph Sean McCartney broke the CL's postseason record for passing
yardage with 285, with 19 completions in 36 attempts. His star receivers were Chris
Lorditch (6-99, two TDs, a city-best 27 for his career) and Pat Devlin (9-133). Pat
McAfee made 10 tackles.

Inter-Ac League
Season's Recap Penn Charter (5-0)
Though the league's size was increased, with Chestnut Hill competing
in I-A football for the first time since 1972, the possibility of a triple tie
existed heading into the final weekend. The Quakers erased those
thoughts by winning at Germantown Academy, 21-10, as Sean McNally
rushed 27 times for 132 yards and two TDs. Ed Bambino, who began
the season at QB, caught a 75-yard scoring pass from John Ryan 2:05
before halftime, giving PC a 14-7 lead. For GA, Alex Holcombe ran for
83 yards and one TD on 25 carries. He finished the season with 329
carries (including a city record of 53 the week before against CHA) for
1,765 yards and 23 TDs. Malvern went 4-1 for second.
