DIVISION A SEMIFINALS Doubleheader at Gratz Comm. Tech 46, Prep Charter 0: Kyle Tubbs (10-140, three TDs) and
Stacey Hill (6-84, two) ran wild and Ackeeno Jolly snagged a 56-yard scoring
pass from Adefumi Garrett. William Dennis added the final TD on an 18-yard
fumble return while Akeem Robinson had an interception. PC's Shelton Jones
passed 4-for-7 for 85 yards. Delaware Valley 24, Future 0: Markeese Walker (14-119) and Neil Warren
(11-95) ran for one score apiece while Ronald McBeth caught an 85-yard TD pass
from Jibri Monk. The Warriors' first score came on a play from the 2. Amir
Bandy-May got the first yard, then was being stood up. Walker took the ball from
his hands and powered over the goal line. Bandy-May later tallied his own TD.
McBeth and Tavon Holloway had interceptions. For Future, which did not yet have
a senior class, Amir Martin passed 4-for-14 for 57 yards. FINAL At Southern Comm. Tech 26, Del-Val Charter 0: Stacey Hill (25-173) ran for two
TDs while Kyle Tubbs rushed well (13-57) and recorded two interceptions.
Aasin-Rogin Nickson opened the scoring by recovering a fumble in the end zone.
Ameer Selden managed 15 tackles for Del-Val.
AA DIVISION SEMIFINALS At Germantown Franklin 22, Imhotep 6: It was a day of season firsts for the
Electrons. Robert Ingram broke into the scoring column with 16 points, rushing
13 times for 75 yards and two TDs (plus two conversions). Jeffery Neal, Clarence
Cohen and Jamel "Redz" Haggins all joined the interception column for the
initial time. Haggins added a TD catch from Anthony Stones. Marquis White rushed
20 times for 112 yards before departing with an ankle injury. Imhotep's
Christopher Lewis passed 8-for-18 for 162 yards and a score to Kendrick Lewis
(2-73). At Southern Bok 44, Furness 8: Soph Andre
Frazier, who became the QB in Week Four after the original starter transferred
to Bartram, provided early momentum with TD tosses to Troy Martin and Gary
Jackson. Manny Gregory, Kevin Bryan, Jackson and Chase Dykes added
rushing scores. Furness notched the game's final score on John Johnson's 91-yard
kickoff return. The volume on the PA system was lowered after a woman came
storming across Bigler Street from her house to complain that she couldn't hear
an "Everybody Loves Raymond" rerun. FINAL At Southern Bok 32, Franklin 12: Andre Frazier accounted for the game's first
three TDs, sandwiching two shorties around a 26-yard pass to Troy Martin. Ray
Tucker added 138 yards and two scores on 15 carries and Brahkim Poole made two
picks, raising his career total to 16. Chris Sherrod, Kevin Bryan and Gary
Jackson recovered fumbles to set up TDs; Jasaan Thomas did likewise by blocking
a punt. For Franklin, which played without star rusher Marquis White (broken
foot), Shuron Briggs carried 22 times for 109 yards and one TD.
AAA DIVISION SEMIFINALS Doubleheader at Gratz Mastbaum 28, Roxborough 13: With his team, the No. 4 seed, holding
a 14-13 lead, Darren Berry clinched the win over the division champ by returning
interceptions for TDs of 70 and 21 yards. He was the second player in city
postseason history to accomplish that feat. Rasheen Tookes ran 19 times for 140
yards and two scores. For Roxborough, Akmed Greene carried 30 times for 171
yards while Antonio Murrell ran for one score and passed for another. Dobbins 26, Penn 6: The Mustangs avenged a regular season defeat as
Ralston Thomas turned 17 rushes into 131 yards and two TDs. Slotback Jamaine
"Pops" Leslie whipped a 39-yard scoring pass to Jamil Williams. Joseph Bangura
had an interception. For Penn, Braheim Dixon ran 8 yards for the game's first TD
and passed 5-for-12 for 79 yards, mostly to Emmanuel Pittman (2-60). FINAL At Northeast Dobbins 33, Mastbaum 6: Terrell "Mouse" Barringer returned the
opening kickoff for a 71-yard score, then added two TDs on QB keepers. Ralston
Thomas (8-62) and Derek Clark (9-45) helped with the rushing while Joshua
Bangura and Jamaine "Pops" Leslie picked off passes and the former turned his
into a 63-yard score. For Mastbaum, Rasheen Tookes carried 19 times for 120
yards and Greg Desire hit Jamil Thomas with a 2-yard TD pass.
AAAA DIVISION QUARTERFINALS Overbrook 33, Central 22: This one featured perhaps the strangest
circumstance in city grid history. Central, the last-place team in AAAA Red,
entered the playoffs with an 0-4 record (and 0-6 overall). Overbrook's David
McCants turned a right-side jet sweep into a 73-yard TD on the game's first
play, and shortly thereafter caught a 16-yard scoring pass from Rasheed Oberton
(5-for-9, 86; also a TD toss to John Melvin). For Central, Michael Anhalt rushed
22 times for 134 yards while Devonne Boler passed 12-for-24 for 146 yards and
TDs to Tony Rosa and frosh Richard Drayton. Members of the coaching staffs jawed
afterward over Overbrook's last TD, scored on Keenan Clark's 41-yard run when
kneeldowns were expected. Northeast 26, Bartram 20: James "Big Country" Rosseau rushed 22 times
for 161 yards and two TDs. With Northeast down, 14-7, Tim Freiling provided
momentum by sandwiching field goals of 33 and 43 yards around a successful
onside kick; HE made the recovery. Malik Stokes threw a TD pass to his big
brother, Tennessee commit Je'Ron. For Bartram, Laquan Williams threw 4-for-9 for
110 yards and two scores to Yusuf Bangura. Frankford 28, Germantown 6: Kalif Walker's two scores sandwiched
a pair by Hakeem Watson. Walker ran 15 times for 102 yards and a 27-yard score
and caught a 37-yard TD pass from Michael McGroarty. Watson turned six rushes
into 114 yards and TDs of 94 and 6 yards. The long one immediately followed a
fourth-down incompletion after Germantown used 10:12 to drive 72 yards to
Frankford's, only to be thwarted by a procedure penalty and a fourth-down
incompletion. Robert Fitzhugh scored for G-town on an 86-yard kickoff return. He
also had an interception. Washington 39, Univ. City 0: Kesson Christopher posted 71 yards and two
TDs on 10 carries and collected a third score on a pass from Aaron Wilmer
(6-for-13, 131). The Eagles' final TD came on a 60-yard pass from Wilmer to Joe
Clayborne, who played for UC as this season began. Chea Sloh had 14 rushes for
91 yards. For UC, Tariq "Pop Tart" Gordon carried 18 times for 89 yards and
Michael Adens passed 10-for-25 for 113, almost all to Gordon (5-52) and Robert
McDaniel (4-55). SEMIFINALS Doubleheader at Northeast Washington 38, Overbrook 0: Aaron Wilmer
passed 9-for-15 for 129 yards and three TDs to soph Joe Clayborne while Kyle
Glenn ran for scores of 14 and 50 yards. Overbrook's David McCants lost a
77-yard rushing TD to a holding call. Northeast 3, Frankford 0: Tim Freiling powered a 26-yard field goal,
the 11th of his career, through the uprights with 44 seconds remaining as the
No. 3 seed pulled off the upset over No. 2 Frankford. The drive began on
Frankford's 47 with 5:26 left. Malik Stokes completed
a pair of short passes. James Rosseau and Tyleel Taylor did the running. A
facemask penalty provided a large early boost and an offside penalty on
fourth-and-inches placed the ball at 4. FINAL At Northeast Washington 41, Northeast 34 (3 OTs): In a classic and then some,
Washington gave coach Ron Cohen his 10th PL title (tying Al Angelo's record) by
picking off a pass late in regulation (frosh Nate Smith did the honors) and then
getting TDs on all three of its OT possessions. James Fowler posted TD catches
on the Eagles' first two thrusts; the second came on fourth down in the front
left corner of the end zone. QB Aaron Wilmer (9-for-16, three TDs) then
succeeded on a 1-yard sneak in the third extra session and Lorenzo Adams
intercepted a pass from Malik Stokes (22-for-42, 243, three TDs) to his
Tennessee-bound brother, Je'Ron (9-86). The Vikings' Steve Pinckney added eight
catches for 65 yards and a score while Tim Freiling boomed field goals of 45 and
44 yards. Smith's hit caused a fumble that Washington's Waverly Harris returned
for the game's first TD. This was only the second OT title game in city history.
Ryan topped Carroll, 20-13, for CL honors in 1990.

Catholic League
AAAA Division Semifinals At Northeast Judge 30, O'Hara 14 Curt Wortham rushed 26 times for a school record of 294 yards and four
TDs. The eclipsed effort -- 272 by Jerry Magallanes in '82 -- had also come in a playoff game.
Kevin Toner claimed an interception. For O'Hara, Tom Savage passed 17-for-32 for 201 yards and a TD
to Anthony McCloskey. At Plymouth-Whitemarsh La Salle 31, SJ Prep 28 In the CL opener, the Explorers had halted Prep's regular season winning
streak at 55 games. They proved that win was no fluke in this one as Drew Loughery obliterated the
city record for passing yards in postseason action. He went 21-for-34 for 378 yards and four
TDs; Dobbins' Andre Davis had 306 in '97. It was also the No. 3 total overall behind
409 by Central's Mike Roche in '86 and 379 by Dougherty's Sean McGovern in 2000. Jamal
Abdur-Rahman made four catches for 112 yards and two TDs. Sam Feleccia (5-119) and Mike
Donohoe (4-61) caught one TD toss apiece. Ultimately, the difference was Mike Bennett's 37-yard
field goal 6.5 seconds prior to halftime. For Prep, Mark Giubilato passed 6-for-15 for 187
yards and a score to Anthony Johnson (4-137) while Garrett Compton (24-116), Mike Yeager (15-87)
and Giubilato posted rushing TDs. Final At Northeast La Salle 28, Judge 20 Mayfair resident Mike Donohoe, a first cousin of one Judge starter, best
friend of another and buddies with roughly half of the prominent Crusaders, caught a pair of
12-yard TDs passes from Drew Loughery (12-for-19, 114, three TDs) and hit the latter with a
trick-play conversion pass as the Explorers avenged a regular season defeat. Sam Feleccia made four
catches for 63 yards and a score, Mike Bennett kicked two field goals and Kevin Forster posted
a pick. Loughery's conversion catch made it 21-14 and that became huge when Judge missed
the PAT after a 28-yard TD pass from soph Tony Smith (8-for-17, 119) to Tom Ryan (5-72)
with 6:45 left. Donohoe notched his second TD at 1:42. Smith suffered an injury on Judge's
last drive, forcing star receiver Adam Nowak to assume command of the offense. His last pass
was knocked down by . . . you guessed it, Donohoe (also a linebacker/punter). Judge's Curt
Wortham ran 29 times for 104 yards. This was coach Drew Gordon's eighth year with the program,
over two stints, and his fourth title (first two as offensive coordinator). AAA Division Semifinals At Wissahickon Wood 27, Lansdale Catholic 0 Sean Cunningham churned for 201 yards and two TDs, among them a 76-yarder,
on 24 carries and helped the defense achieve a school record with a fifth consecutive
shutout. Sean McCartney added an interception and a QB sneak for a score. For LC, a first-year
CL member, QB John Howell ran nine times for 52 yards. At Plymouth-Whitemarsh Conwell-Egan 17, N. Catholic 14 Matt Della-Croce rebounded quite handsomely after a disastrous first two
series -- intentional grounding in the end zone (safety) and an interception. He finished 16-for-31
for 248 yards, raising his career total to 3,001, and one TD, a game-winner to Ryan Golin
(10-136). For North, Dennis Logue passed 10-for-17 for 157 yards and two TDs to Mike Scott
(6-125). Final At Northeast Wood 44, Conwell-Egan 14 The Vikings, which had posted a school-record five consecutive shutouts,
received an immediate jolt as Kerry McAnany returned the opening kickoff 82 yards for a TD.
Then they rolled to 44 consecutive points behind the rushing of Sean Cunningham (30-210,
TD) and Nick Devine (7-58, three) and running/passing of Sean McCartney (203 combined yards).
Steve Devlin became the third Wood to coach to win a title in a six-year period,
joining Art Barrett in '03 and Joe Powel in '04-'05. Scott Adkins and Shane Miller posted interceptions
and Adkins recovered an onside kick right before halftime; James McFadden followed with a
37-yard field goal. For C-E, Matt Della-Croce hit Ryan Golin with a 12-yard TD pass.
AA Division Semifinals At Southern W. Catholic 63,
Kennedy-Kenrick 21 Rob Hollomon turned his first four carries into TDs of 36, 35, 59 and 12
yards and finished with six scores and 212 yards on just nine opportunities. Hollomon smashed the
city postseason records for rushing TDs (four) and total points (32). He also had an
interception. Curtis Drake accounted for two TDs, rushing 16 yards for one and passing 57 yards to Eric
Young for another. West rang up 56 points in the first 16 minutes, 33 seconds, and its 35
plays generated 458 yards (13.1 average). Tim Carroll went 9-for-9 on PATs, breaking the
postseason mark of seven. With the score at 63-14 in the THIRD quarter, backup QB Kyle Heggs was
instructed to take a knee on four straight plays at K-K's 15. For the Wolverines, Ryan
Sejda ran for one score and passed for another. At Plymouth-Whitemarsh Carroll 17, McDevitt 7 Chris Kennedy's seven tackles behind the line included three sacks while
Luke Wischnowski accounted for 133 yards of rushing/passing and hit Pat Seeds with a 22-yard
scoring pass. McDevitt did little offensively, but did post a score on the first series of the
third quarter as Luke Sawick hit Steve Harris with a 4-yard, left-corner fade. Final At Plymouth-Whitemarsh West Catholic 56, Carroll 7 Rob Hollomon roared to four scores and 156 yards on just five carries and
scored a fifth TD, his first of the night, on a 65-yard punt return. That gave him 11 TDs in the
Burrs' two playoff appearances. Curtis Drake added 240 yards, passing 3-for-4 for 98 yards and a TD
to Haleem "P-Nut" Hayward and rushing four times for 142 yards and one score. Carroll
scored last on Luke Wischnowski's 61-yard pass to Chris Kennedy.
