Quarterfinals At Higher Seed's Home Field Washington 34, Lincoln 6 The Railsplitters, who wound up
winning Blue due to forfeits by West Philadelphia (ineligible players; attending a private school), caused a stir by scoring first
on a pass from Charles Boyd to Calvin Philemond. But the Eagles had little trouble
regrouping (Lorenzo Adams returned the kickoff 85 yards for a TD), then coasting. James Johnson ran turned six carries into 47 yards and two TDs. For Lincoln, Kevin
Chilton rushed 27 times for 115 yards and Rubens Codio hustled for three interceptions. Overbrook 20, Dobbins 19 Making just their third playoff
appearance in the program's 80-year history, the Panthers posted their first win in dramatic fashion in a night game at Gratz.
Markeyse Carter engineered a four-play, 72-yard drive and scored on a 4-yard keeper, then
star rusher Darius Johnson (21-96, TD) kicked the PAT. The big play was a 68-yard
bomb to Leonard Mitchell. Carter also passed for a score to John Melvin. For Dobbins,
Terez Sydnor passed for one TD and ran for another. The Mustangs were able to claim
the fourth spot in Red with a last-day win over Germantown. Both entered winless in
division play. On the field, that is. Their game became meaningful when Frankford, the
two-time defending PL champ, was ousted from playoff contention due to the presence on
its roster of a player almost 20 years old. Bok 14, Central 6 With the Southern-Bok complex being
converted to a super site, this one was played at Bartram. Luke Lassiter provided most of the Wildcats' offense, rushing 23
times for 186 yards and a score, while Troy Martin and Daquon Johnson made interceptions. Central's Kyle Yeiter ran for 51 yards and a TD, and passed for 51 more yards. Northeast 27, Gratz 0 Malik Stokes collected only 30 yards
on 5-for-8 passing, but TDs to Keith Scruggs and Tyrik Clary were included. Tyleel Robinson, Chad O'Malley and Albert Burgos posted interceptions and Burgos returned his for a 44-yard TD. Robinson added a
rushing TD. Gratz played without its starting QB and top rusher (injuries). Semifinals Doubleheader at
Northeast Washington 21, Overbrook 19 Up to this point, no Eagle had
carried more than 12 times or gained more than 100 yards. But James Johnson exploded for 207 yards and two TDs on 21 totes to salvage what
was something of a lackluster effort. Overbrook jumped to a 6-0 lead with help from
an immediate 54-yard halfback pass from Darius Johnson to John Melvin and moved
within two points with 3:55 showing. With three timeouts left, coach Ken Sturm opted
for a regular kickoff. Washington responded and kept Overbrook's offense off the field
until 17.8 remained. There were no late heroics. Markeyse Carter passed 10-for-15 for
150 yards and Melvin scored twice while ringing up 158 yards of rushing/receiving. Bok 8, Northeast 0 Two days earlier, Bok was forced to
reveal its hand. If you beat Northeast, will you opt to play for the Pub title? The Wildcats said "yes" and then took care of business.
The defense did the deed, as Daquon Johnson made a tackle for a safety and Kyle Williams
returned an interception 86 yards for a TD. Luke Lassiter ran 21 times for 88 yards. For
Northeast, soph Malik Stokes passed 12-for-22 for 166 yards, primarily to Keith Scruggs
(6-69). District 12's spot in the state AAA playoffs went to Franklin. Final At Northeast Washington 34, Bok 6 Bok's hopes of hanging around and
causing Washington some consternation were dealt a blow when James Johnson (7-97) ran 69 yards for a TD on the game's first
scrimmage play. The Eagles maintained control from there as Clinton "Juice" Granger ran for a
pair of 1-yard scores and passed 6-for-9 for 140 yards and a TD to Andrew Goodman (3-122).
Bok's Luke Lassiter ran 25 times for a late TD and 163 yards, the third best title-game
performance by a member of the losing team. He ended his career with 2,979 yards. The title was
the ninth in 23 seasons for coach Ron Cohen.
State Playoffs Class AAA District 1-12 Subregional Semifinal At Pottsgrove Pottsgrove 42, Franklin 12 The Electrons were awarded this berth after Bok, a 30-28 winner, in double
OT, during the team's regular season battle, decided to nix the state playoffs in favor of a
chance at the Pub's final full-scale title. Anthony Stones, in his first QB stint of '07, passed
6-for-12 for 117 yards and a TD to Jamel "Redz" Haggins. Marquis White ran for the other score. Class AAAA State Quarterfinal At Crum Stadium (Allentown) Allentown Parkland 44, Washington 12 The Eagles surrendered the first 44 points, but at least rallied for two
scores in the waning moments as the recovery of an onsides kick was sandwiched by TD passes from soph
backup Aaron Wilmer (8-for-10, 103) to his brother, Damien, and Andrew Goodman (final
play of game).

Catholic League
Red Division First Round At Plymouth-Whitemarsh O'Hara 31, La Salle 7 Corey Brown rushed 16 times for
114 yards and two scores while Tom Savage, returning after a month off due to a broken foot, passed 8-for-14 for 62 yards and one TD.
The longest tally went to Steve Werner on a 75-yard run. For La Salle, which earlier in the
season lost big receivers Joe Migliarese and Ryan Warrender, John Harrison and Drew Loughery
combined to pass 21-for-33 for 198 yards and the TD, on a rush, went to Mike Donohoe. At Northeast Roman 28, N. Catholic 10 With the former record-holder,
Joe McCourt, calling the plays as the offensive coordinator, Balial Lewis Sloan-El carried 23 times for 156 and yards and two TDs to raise
his season's yardage total to 1,796. McCourt's school record (1,780) had been set in 2000.
Nick Moody also scored twice, with the more impressive TD coming on a 72-yard pass from Chris
Johnson. Terrell Oglesby (24-64) ran for North's TD. Semifinals At Plymouth-Whitemarsh SJ Prep 35, O'Hara 0 The Hawks frolicked against a
team that had provided stiff competition (16-7 score) during the regular season, thus advancing to the final for the eighth straight year. Aaron
Haas (four TD passes; 8-for-10, 137) and Greg Castillo, son of Eagles' assistant Juan (three
TD catches; 5-110), tied postseason city game records. Haas completed the Hawks' scoring with a
9-yard run on their first possession of the third quarter. Linemen Ryan McGinn and Joe Ventresca
sparked the defense. The Prep's average score in these eight semis victories was 35-8. For
O'Hara, Mark Wedderburn made three catches for 59 yards. At Northeast Roman 35, Judge 10 Not only did the Cahillites
rally from a 10-0 deficit, they slapped 28 third quarter points on the board; Al Desiderio began the avalanche with a 77-yard kickoff return for a
score. Balial Lewis Sloan-El finished the evening with 20 carries for 172 yards and two TDs, Chris
Johnson's only completion went to Nick Moody for a 36-yard score and the tackling leaders were
Marty Bernard (11) and Andrew Regan (nine). Tailback Andrew McHale (25-89), the coaches'
division MVP, capped the game's first drive with an 11-yard TD on a pass from Paul Volpe. Final At Northeast Roman 10, SJ Prep 9 Though the teams' regular
season meeting had produced a 36-7 defeat, Roman received an early confidence boost when 320-pound Jewhan Edwards rumbled straight up the middle to
block a punt and Andrew Regan recovered the ball for a TD. Roman's Chris Fioravanti (39
yards) and Prep's Tim Edger (45 yards, two short of the city's postseason record) blasted field
goals. With 28.5 left, Jim McGoldrick uncorked a stirring, 77-yard punt return for a TD, but Edger's
PAT hit the left upright and Regan recovered the onsides kick. Roman's Balial Lewis Sloan-El ran
29 times for 118 yards, raising his season's total to 2,141. This was the fourth time in eight
seasons that Prep, unbeaten in division play, suffered a title-game upset.
Blue Division First Round At Northeast Carroll 30, Neumann-Goretti 22 The Patriots rolled to a 30-8
halftime lead, then held on. N-G, which received three rushing TDs from Hakeem "Skiz" Johnson (26-100), advanced to Carroll's 32 on its final
possession before three straight incompletions terminated hopes of a miracle. Kevin Eckel scored
twice for Carroll on a 1-yard run and an 85-yard kickoff return. QB Luke Wischnowski (21-95) did
likewise; he also passed 3-for-6 for 83 yards. At Plymouth-Whitemarsh McDevitt 34, Kennedy-Kenrick 0 A lternating tailbacks Jason Golderer (18-125, two) and Justin
Schley (21-117) combined for three TDs, Luke Sawick hit Steve Harris for a 35-yard score and Greg Williams tallied
for the defense by recovering a dropped snap on a punt. D r e w S i e g f r i e d a n d N a y t h a n V e n i t a d d e d i n t e r c e p t i o n s w h i l e M a t t S h e r v i n , who also won varsity letters during the fall
for soccer and golf, hit four PATs. Semifinals At Northeast W. Catholic 48, McDevitt 14 Raymond Maples opened and
closed the scoring with two l-o-n-g TDs (run for 87, interception for 90) and added two other scores on rushes as the Burrs advanced
to the final for the sixth consecutive year. West rang up 488 yards of total offense behind
the running of Maples, Rob Holloman (12-97, TD) and Curtis Drake (9-98, TD) and Drake's
133-yard, one-score passing (a 72-yarder to Christian Palmer.) McDevitt's Jason Golderer
hustled for 232 all-purpose yards -- 77 on 18 carries, 155 yards (including a 79-yard score
with a kickoff) on six returns. He also recovered a fumble and made 10 tackles. Luke Sawick
passed 12-for-30 for 188 yards while Steve Harris made six catches for 91. The teams combined for
1,030 all-purpose yards. At Plymouth-Whitemarsh Wood 41, Carroll 17 Senior Bob DeLucas and junior
Sean Cunningham, bookends at halfback and inside linebacker, did yeoman duty as the Vikings earned a fifth straight title-game bout with
West. DeLucas carried 11 times for 85 yards and three scores while adding 11 tackles.
Cunningham's numbers: 14-166-2-9. For Carroll, which committed six turnovers and never touched an
onsides kick that was recovered by Wood, Luke Wischnowski ran 11 times for 85 yards and a score
and passed 5-for-7 for 90 yards and another TD. Final At Northeast W. Catholic 28, Wood 7 As they'd been all season,
alternating junior tailbacks Rob Holloman (17-107) and Raymond Maples (16-81, two TDs) were a two-headed rushing monster as the Burrs won a
second consecutive title for the first time since claiming four straight starting in
1943. Those performances allowed each to surpass 1,000 yards for the season -- Holloman (1,048), Maples
(1,040). QB Curtis Drake, like those two a junior, ran for two scores while raising his
season's rushing/passing yardage total to 1,922. Maples, Haleem "P-Nut" Hayward, Rodney Blango and Jordan
Culbreath had interceptions. Wood suffered an early blow when RB-LB Bob DeLucas, the
coaches' division MVP, departed with an ankle injury. Sean Cunningham ran for the Vikings' score.

Inter-Ac League
Season's Recap Malvern (5-0-0)
The title was decided in a last-day showdown between teams with a combined
record of 17-0 as Chestnut Hill traveled to Malvern. The latter triumphed,
26-18,
as Neil Willis rushed 23 times for 98 yards and a score and added a TD reception
from Syracuse-bound Ryan Nassib (7-for-13, 119; also a TD run). Willis' role had
expanded at mid-season after star HB Chris Layne was lost to injuries suffered
in
a major car accident. For CHA, Mike Mattei passed 12-for-25 for 250 yards and
a TD to Mike Lonergan while soph Jon McAllister turned six catches into 140
yards. Rashad Campbell, slowed by a tender Achilles, settled for 39 yards on 11
carries. He finished the two-season Inter-Ac portion of his career with exactly
3,200 yards and 45 rushing TDs (overall: 4,204 and 60). Malvern's dreams of a
10-0 season were squashed on Thanksgiving by St. Joseph's Prep, 33-6.
