   By Matthew De George With an authoritative baritone that blankets an open field like the steady rain falling Friday night, Togba Porte made known the primary difference between his Academy Park team and Springfield. “We’ve been here before,” the defensive end, who sings the national anthem before home games, intoned as he stalked the… Read More

      By Kev Hunter Quarterback Reece Udinski threw North Penn to its seventh district title Friday night, as the senior’s 430 passing yards and four scores led the way to a 48-38 win over Garnet Valley in the Class 6A final on a cool night at Crawford Stadium.

Friday night, Joe Kennedy provided about a half-dozen. In his wake, the Springfield wide receiver left the Warriors utterly and completely defeated. Kennedy caught 10 passes for… Read More

By Nate Heckenberger Dipping into its desperation bag of tricks in the fourth quarter, West Chester Henderson ran a flea flicker off a reverse, and fittingly, it was intercepted. If the No. 5 Warriors were going to come into Springfield and knock off the top-seeded Cougars, they were going to do it the way they… Read More
