Scores and results from across the Commonwealth

(4A and 3A teams)

It’s hard to believe that last week’s games brought the regular season to a close. Except for a few teams playing this week, those making the playoffs and others playing in Thanksgiving Day games, it’s over. Did that go fast or did that go fast? At any rate, there were a number of season making and season breaking games across the Commonwealth so here’s a look at how some of those games turned out. Let’s start with our recent nemesis to the North, district 11, where undefeated 4A Parkland (10-0) won the top seed after shutting out Whitehall 31-0. Whitehall (7-3) fell just outside the cut for the 8 teams representing district 2/11 in the playoffs. Last year’s district champ, Liberty (9-1), won the 2 seed with a 28-14 win over Freedom who falls to 7-3 and like Whitehall, just misses the playoffs. Emmaus is in as the 8^th seed at 7-3 after beating Allentown Central Catholic 14-7 in Allentown. Easton (7-3) made the cut as the 6^th seed with a 28-24 win at Bethlehem Catholic. Here’s an example where the point system that determines playoff seeding is way off the mark. East Stroudsburg South (7-3) made the playoffs with a 5-1 record in the Mountain Valley Conference despite losing to conference winner Pocono Mountain West at home, 22-21. West finished the season at 7-3 and undefeated (6-0) atop the MVC but will miss the playoffs!? ES South’s beat East Stroudsburg North 48-7 and gets the 7^th seed against 2^nd seeded Liberty.

Teams from District 2 fill out the brackets, including Hazelton (9-1), Delaware Valley (9-1) and Wyoming Valley West (9-1). Hazelton had an easy time with 3A power Berwick (8-2), winning 34-14. They have the 3^rd seed and will play Easton. Wyoming Valley West moves to 9-1 with a 20-13 win in Wilkes-Barre against Coughlin. They’re the 4^th seed playing 5^th seeded Delaware Valley. Delaware Valley didn’t have near enough against what appears to be the top 3A team in the district, West Scranton. The Invaders won 33-13.

In Philadelphia’s district 12 playoffs, George Washington (9-1) beat Lincoln 34-6 while Overbrook (7-3) was beating Dobbins 20-19 in 1^st round action. The winners meet Saturday at Northeast High. In the other bracket, Northeast (5-5) replaced ineligible Frankford and beat Gratz 27-0. They’ll play Bok (3A, 10-0) who got past Central 14-6.

At the 3A classification in the East, there were a few upsets worth mentioning in district 3. In the Berks Inter County League, visiting Pottsville (5-5) beat Conrad Weiser 24-21. CW falls to 7-3 while Pville’s Crimson Tide just misses the playoff cut in district 11. Blue Mountain and Pottsville are the only members in the Berks League from district 11. Blue Mountain (7-3) got in as the 3 seed with a 17-7 win against Schuylkill Haven and will play 2^nd seeded Allentown Central Catholic (5-5) in the 1^st round. Northwestern Lehigh (6-4) got the top seed and will play 4^th seeded Crestwood (5-5). Back to district 3; rounding out Berks League action, Boone (7-3) won at Exeter 20-19.

In the York Adams League-Division Two, West York beat Eastern York 42-14. The Bulldogs move into the postseason red hot after winning their last 9 games and the Div-2 title. Their only loss was at the season opener to 4A Central York (7-3), 23-19. Another upset occurred in district 3 when previously undefeated Elizabethtown (9-1) went down hard to Cocalico (7-3) 35-21. Lampeter Strasburg improved to 8-2 with a 55-7 rout of Donegal while Solanco (7-3) beat Lebanon 35-16.

Moving to the Mid Penn Keystone, Gettysburg (9-1) secured a high seed by beating 4A Lower Dauphin 24-17. LD also makes the playoffs in D3. Red Land (9-1) bounced back from the Gettysburg lost to beat Hershey (8-2) on the road, 13-3. Northern stayed perfect in the Mid Penn Colonial with a 35-21 road win at Shippensburg. The Greyhounds fall to 7-3. There are 16 teams making the playoffs in district 3 at the 3A classification.

Because of the lack of time and wanting to get this effort posted, please visit Eastern Pa Football.com for a look at all the brackets in all the classifications.

In district 2, Dallas goes to 8-2 with their 14-0 win at Lake Lehrman. In Philadelphia’s district 12, Bok remained undefeated at 10-0 with a 14-6 win over Central. They or Franklin High (9-1) will play the winner of the Pottsgrove-Rustin game.

The 4A playoffs have already begun out west in district 7 where all the higher seeds (home teams) won except Seneca Valley (6-4) who lost to Bethel Park 31-20. The Blackbirds (7-3) move on to play Pittsbugh Central Catholic (10-0) in the quarterfinals Friday. Central Catholic routed Plum in the first round 45-0. McKeesport (9-1) got past North Hills 28-7 and will play Norwin next. The Knights improved to 7-3 after beating Woodland Hills 29-14. Second seeded North Allegheny is looking good at 10-0 after beating Hempfield 35-7. They’ll play Penn Hills’ young team who advanced by beating Canon McMillan 27-13. Penn Hills turned their season around after a 1-3 start by going 5-1 down the stretch counting the playoff win. Gateway (9-1) and Upper St. Clair (7-3) play each other in second round action after beating Penn Trafford 45-24 and Shaler 44-14 respectively. How about last year’s state champion USC with one of the smallest enrollments in the district (571) back in the playoffs after graduating the entire offense, the kicker and 8 starters from the defense.

Moving to district 10 finds McDowell at 6-4 after beating Erie Central 42-7. Cathedral Prep had an open week.

Over in the middle part of the state in district 3, Manheim Township (9-1) of the Lancaster Lebanon League just keeps churning out the wins (7 straight) after walloping Penn Manor 45-7. They hold the 2^nd seed in the district. That’s special knowing they lost quarterback Pat Bostick to Pitt after going 23-9 with him at the helm for 3 years. But they did return 15 starters and Pat’s 3 year understudy so they’re no fluke. Big Tim Frawley, 6-3 275 anchors the line. Staying in the LL, Warwick is also 9-1 after beating McCaskey 21-20. Wilson (7-3) beat Reading 34-10.

In the York Adams League-Division 1, York High (9-1) captured the title by defeating New Oxford 49-23. The Bearcats secured the 4^th seed in the district. Central York is in at 7-3 after beating Spring Grove 38-13. Dallastown (6-4) beat Red Lion 22-21 in overtime to get the13th seed. Red Lion (6-4) is in with the 15^th seed despite losing.

In the Berks Inter County League, Governor Mifflin improved to 9-1 after beating Muhlenberg 35-24.

In the Mid Penn Commonwealth, Harrisburg (8-1) got the top seed by winning at State College 38-16. The Lions drop to 6-4 but made districts as the 11^th seed against 6^th seeded Governor Mifflin. These two faced off last year in the West Semi Final (district 3/6 championship) where State College prevailed 21-0 against a 12-2 Governor Mifflin team. Cumberland Valley (7-3) beat Cedar Cliff 41-7 and advanced to districts against Muhlenberg (8-2). Altoona (8-2) had no trouble with Dubois, winning 34-13. They get Wilson in the 1^st round. Central Dauphin’s young team made it to the party by edging bitter rival Central Dauphin East 21-15. The Rams are 7-3 heading into 1^st round action against Warwick. And finally, Bishop McDevitt beat hapless Carlisle 41-14. McDevitt improved to 8-2 and get Central York at home in the district opener Friday.

Out west, most of the 3A action went as expected. In district 10, Strong Vincent (8-2) routed Meadville 44-6. The team that appears to be special, undefeated Titusville (9-0), made it look easy against defending 3A champ General McLane, winning 37-14. McLane falls to 7-3. In district 4, Selinsgrove survived heavy graduation losses to crank out a successful year, beating Mount Carmel 34-19 to improve to 8-2.

In district 6, Hollidaysburg is looking good at 8-2 after beating Chambersburg 48-14. The week before, they gave State College a game until folding late. They are tied with Indian Valley (8-2) atop the Mountain Valley Conference. In the Laurel Highlands Conference, Somerset (7-3) was upset by 7-3 2A Central Cambria, 53-13. Johnstown moved to 7-3 with a 36-34 win over Penn Cambria. Little 2A Bishop McCort, a strong 9-1 team won the title outright then beat district 9’s best 3A Bradford last week, 35-14. It will be interesting seeing how far they advance in the postseason.

In district 7 where the 3A teams already have a playoff round under their belt, undefeated Thomas Jefferson (10-0) crushed Laurel Highlands 56-7. They‘ll play storied West Allegheny next, a team they struggled with early in the season before winning 18-13. The 6-4 Indians had little difficulty on the road against Belle Vernon, prevailing 38-18. The same holds true for Pine Richland (9-1) who routed Keystone Oaks 57-7. Chartiers Valley (8-2) got a fight from Franklin Regional but won 28-21 to set up a classic Friday against Pine Richland. The other undefeated 3A in the district Montour (10-0), beat Ringgold 35-14, while Trinity (7-3) was romping a 7-3 Mount Pleasant team, 43-16. The winners face off Friday. In what looks like the most difficult bracket, 8-2 Knoch pulled away from New Castle (6-4) to win 42-24. In a modest upset, Highlands beat host Blackhawk 21-19. Blackhawk falls to 7-3 while Highlands improved to 8-2. That sets up a rematch between two Greater Allegheny Conference members, Knoch and Highlands. Highlands ran into a buzz saw two weeks ago with Knoch coming off a 1 point upset to Indiana. Knoch won that one 41-13 but look for a much tighter game this time around.    

PIAA State Top 10

1. North Allegheny (10-0) Top ranked North Allegheny opened the postseason in district 7 with an overwhelming win against out-manned Hempfield, 35-7. The Spartans made the playoffs despite having a 3-6 season and finishing 4^th in the Foothills Conference. Still, they had their moments, losing to Cathedral Prep and Norwin by 7. They’re a young team so check them out next year. Quarter finals action continues for the Tigers Friday at home against Penn Hills (6-4) who defeated Canon McMillan 27-13.

2. Pittsburgh Central Catholic (10-0) Central Catholic routed undermanned Plum (2-8) in the district opening round, 45-0. They’ll get a tougher opponent Friday with Bethel Park (7-3) coming in high off a 31-20 road win at Seneca Valley. They’ve had a few disappointing losses this year, losing to North Allegheny 19-16, McKeesport 28-27 and to Upper St. Clair 13-10. They play out of the competitive Great Southern Conference with McKeesport, Upper St. Clair and Canon McMillan. Central is clearly the better team but the Blackhawks have talent.

3. Gateway (9-1) In yet another district 7 playoff game, Gateway trounced Penn Trafford 45-14. This big Gator attack has really come together the last half of the season, beating their opponents by 30, 38, 50, 56 and 31 points! The opponent this week is defending Quad-A champ Upper St. Clair (7-3). For a team that graduated their entire offense, they’re doing another good job on that side of the line by scoring 26 points a game. But they have difficulty against the pedigree of North Allegheny and McKeesport, losing to the North Allegheny 43-19 and McKeesport 31-0. Coach Render is one of the best so if he can slow this down the Panthers can keep it respectable. It’s high school, anything can happen!  

4. Parkland (10-0) Parkland ended the regular season in spectacular fashion by beating Whitehall 31-0. The win sews up the Lehigh Valley Conference and the top seed going into the district 2/11 playoffs. It also marks the 6^th consecutive week the Trojans have shut out their opponent. On the year they’ve allowed 44 points, an average of 4 points a game. As the top seed they’ll play 8^th seeded Emmaus (7-3), who they beat in a rain storm 2 weeks ago by the narrow score of 7-0. Except for Glen Mills in the opener, no one has stayed with this big Parkland team besides Emmaus.  

5. McKeesport (9-1) You don’t want to catch this Tiger by the tail. McKeesport’s Flex Bone is purring now after last week’s performance saw them roll up 382 rushing yards and zero turnovers. If they can parlay those attributes of high yardage totals combined with no turnovers it’s doubtful any team can beat them. This team is hot. They’ve won 8 straight, defeating Penn Hills, Bethel Park in overtime on the road, Upper St. Clair and now North Hills for the 2^nd time this season in districts last week 28-7. Gateway is the only team to beat them this year and that was back in the 2^nd game of the season, 17-6. Norwin’s 7-3 Knights are up next and they’re also on a roll winning 4 straight since the 28-20 loss to Pittsburgh Central Catholic. Other losses came to Bethel Park 19-10 and Gateway 37-36. This is the best team McKeesport has played in over a month.  

6. Central Bucks South (10-0) Central Bucks South leap frogged Ridley after beating perennial Suburban One League and State power North Penn, 41-27. The win earned the aptly names Titans their first winning season, first undefeated season and their first Suburban One-National Conference championship. There’s a boatload of memories for the players, coaching staff, cheerleaders, the entire school and parents to take with them for the rest of their lives. Well done! The electrifying Eric Reynolds rushed for 260 yards, caught a 79 yard touchdown and returned 3 kicks for 57 yards. Did someone say wow? That effort brought his seasonal totals to 2293 yards and 32 scores. Like we said a few weeks ago, a back like this can carry a team all the way to Hershey. Awesome! All those good things earned them the top seed heading into the post season where they’ll play Haverford. The Fords went 7-3, finishing 3^rd in the Central League behind Ridley and Strath Haven and Conestoga.      

7. Ridley (9-0) Ridley dropped a rung in the rankings after beating a 2-8 Springfield team13-3. Hopefully that performance won’t carry over into the post season where it’s one and done. The good news is their achievements this year earned them the 2 seed in the district playoffs. The bad news is the opponent is their bitter rival Interboro. The last time these two played was 2005, where the Bucs won 7-6 at Ridley. They should not win at Ridley, but like all the great rivalries, throw all the history and theories out when these 2 get together.  

8. Neshaminy (9-1) Neshaminy won last week at Pennsbury 48-21 to end the regular season 1 game behind Central Bucks South in sole possession of 2^nd place in the SOL-National Conference. That wasn’t the goal but it’s not bad after seeing South beat both North Penn and Neshaminy this year. Even there, these were games that could have gone either way so we shouldn’t christen Central Bucks South with more than they’ve accomplished to date. Time will tell. The Skins have the 3 seed and get a homer Friday against 14^th seeded Upper Dublin. It doesn’t look good for the Cardinals who come in at fine 8-2 but off a 41-14 loss to Wissahickon. 

9. Harrisburg (8-1) Cougars verses Lions! Harrisburg’s Cougars slipped past North Penn in the rankings after winning impressively on the road at State College. It’s always a trial snagging a win at that venue where the Lions are particularly difficult to beat. That makes Harrisburg’s 38-16 win all the more note worthy. The win gives them sole ownership of the Mid Penn Commonwealth and the district 3/6 top seed. Their opponent is Lower Dauphin (6-4), another Mid Penn team playing in the Keystone Division. The Keystone consists of 3A teams except for Lower Dauphin. It’s a respectable division at the 3A classification but has nowhere near the size across the board, speed, depth and fire power seen in the Commonwealth. LD is in for a long evening.    

10. North Penn (8-2) Here’s an interesting team. They’ve been out scored 72-61 their last 3 games, lost 2 of those games and are still one of the best teams in the state and certainly the best 8-2 team in the state. Harrisburg’s Bishop McDevitt would argue that for 4 quarters but the point is that despite the recent reverses, this is still one fine football team. Although they lost to Central Bucks South last week, they churned out 430 total yards of offense and were dead even with the Titans at 27 all early in the 4^th quarter. Going into the postseason, they are the 6^th seed and are home against 11^th seeded Wissahickon. The Trojans (8-2) are the American Conference champion after beating Upper Dublin 41-14 last week.

Honorable Mention

East: Liberty, Emmaus, Henderson

West: Bishop McDevitt, Norwin, Bethel Park        

Southeast PA Top 20

            1. Malvern Prep (8-0) Malvern Prep remained undefeated in the top spot after beating Penn Charter 43-21. The win sets up an all or nothing like scenario with undefeated Chestnut Hill Academy coming in Saturday to decide the Inter Academic championship. They are a fine team with an underrated quarterback in Mike Mattei who has completed 46 of 81 passes for 944 yards. That’s big stuff at a completion rate of 57% and a yards-per-completion figure of 20.5! The centerpiece of the attack is their great back Rashad Campbell with 1413 yards rushing on 276 carries. The Hillers average 36 points a game while allowing just 4 points a game. They’ve allowed a total of 33 points all year so this is a legitimate team. The Friars aren’t a bad team either, averaging 32ppg to 12 allowed. Syracuse bound quarterback Ryan Nassib has completed 61 of 107 tosses for 981 yards, or 16.08 yards per completion. Chestnut Hill isn’t the only team with a good running back. The Friars have James Connelly getting 667 yards on 116 carries and Neil Willis who averages 7.4 yards per carry after rushing it 77 times for 567 yards. This looks like a classic where the slightest mistake could be fatal.        

2. St. Joseph’s Prep (8-2) St. Joseph’s Prep 36-7 win against Roman Catholic last week was their 55th consecutive regular season win! The win locked up another Red Division title, their 5^th in the last 7 years and earns them the # 1 seed for the division playoffs. They have a bye for the 1^st round and await the winner of the Cardinal O’Hara-LaSalle game.

3. Central Bucks South (9-0) See above.

4. Ridley (9-0) See above.

5. Neshaminy (9-1) See above.  

6. Henderson (9-1) Henderson won the Ches Mont title and their 7^th straight game with a 20-0 shutout of Downingtown East. Interestingly, their opponent in the playoffs is Conestoga, a team they were scheduled to play in the regular season on the same date, Friday. This should be a great game between two heavy hitters with good skill players. Henderson is the home team with the 5^th seed. Stoga is about as tough and powerful a 12^th seed as you could draw. They have great skill at wide-out Nihja White, a slick quick back in Tyreek Clark and a veteran senior quarterback in Steve Richter. Henderson has excellent receivers, powerful backs in senior Jacob Russell (6-0 180) and Jabari Khan (5-11, 210) and a double threat quarterback in senior John O’Donnell. These are big, physical teams that should provide for an excellent and close game.      

7. Downingtown West (8-1) Downingtown came in 2^nd place in the Ches Mont this year with the 29-28 loss at Henderson 5 weeks ago. Last week’s 44-29 win against Bishop Shanahan secured the 8 seed where they’ll play 9^th seeded Hatboro Horsham in Downingtown. (Tough when you lose one game and get the 8 seed!) The Hatter’s have seen a few good teams this year like Neshaminy and Souderton. The problem is that they were handled easily by both. In last year’s playoffs, they upset Upper Darby in the 1^st round then lost at Ridley, falling behind at one point 35-0 in the first half. This Downingtown team is more physical than Ridley or Upper Darby and have a bull dozer at quarterback in 6-4, 225 pound Nolan Kearny. Hatboro will have to pass to loosen them up or it will get real ugly, real early.

8. North Penn (8-2) See above

9. Souderton (9-1) The Indians got their 4^th shutout of the year by downing Tennett 49-0. The win also puts them alone, atop the SOL-Continental as this year’s champ with an undefeated mark of 7-0. How about these Indians, winning 9 games each of the last 4 years. Nice! They were the 8^th seed last year but find themselves with the 4^th seed this year putting them at home against 13^th seeded Downingtown East for the 2^nd straight year. They beat the Cougars in that one 42-7. But quarterback Pete O’Connor had a severely injured non-throwing hand. He’s healthy this year and guess what, the Cougars play defense too. They’ve allowed 90 point the entire season while Souderton has allowed but 81. Something has to give!

10. Unionville (3A, 10-0) Unionville is the undefeated winner of the inaugural Ches Mont Blue Division after edging Bayard Rustin, 21-7. Congratulations to the Indians and to Rustin for the good effort. Both are well rewarded with seeds in the postseason. Uville has the top seed and is home against a good 7-3 team from Phoenixville. The Phantoms are coming off a bitter 24-19 loss to Pioneer Athletic Conference rival and champ Lansdale Catholic. They haven’t been able to beat the power of the PAC, losing to Pottsgrove 24-16 and Perkiomen Valley 42-39. But they did hang with them and can put points on the board with their 35 points per game average. What they lack is size that Unionville has in spades with an OL averaging out at 258 pounds. Senior quarterback Matt Carroll and brother Greg at running back and receiver have been unstoppable all year. It’s doubtful Phoenixville will be able to solve the riddle.    

11. Strath Haven (3A, 8-2) Strath Haven survived the “high” of beating Conestoga in Berwyn 2 weeks ago to get past Penncrest 14-0. Since the Haverford loss 7 weeks ago, the Panther’s have won 6 straight with wins against Marple Newtown, Upper Darby in OT and Conestoga. They are averaging 28ppg and allowing 9, meaning they are looking good for a post season run. It begins this week at home with the 3 seed against Garnet Valley, the 4^th seeded team. G-Val is 8-1 but failed their only challenge (and +.500 team) of the season losing at Unionville 13-7. It’s hard seeing them throttling senior running backs Carl Ballard (6-0, 190, 143/952= 6.7ypc), Willie Curry (5-11, 160, 95/742=7.8ypc) or senior Ryan McCann who has completed 40 of 76 passes for 570 yards.     

12. West Catholic (9-1) Make that 9 in a row with 2 to go! West won their 9^th straight game since opening the season with a loss to Roman. They’re looking especially prepared after surviving the overtime test with Carroll 2 weeks ago and by defeating Archbishop Wood last week, 21-12. Once again, they’re looking like a champion but there are those 2 games to go. They get a bye as the 1 seed where they await the winner of the Archbishop Wood-Saints Neumann Goretti game.

13. Conestoga (8-2) Conestoga just got past Marple Newtown last week 17-14 in a rebound from the Strath Haven loss the week before. Last year’s edition was rebuilding and missed the playoffs. This year’s team is senior laden and loaded with talent. They’ll need it Friday as the 12^th seed going into West Chester to tangle with Henderson’s Warriors.

14. Chestnut Hill Academy (9-0) Chestnut Hill Academy rose in the ranking from 18^th to 14^th after getting their 5^th shutout of the season by crushing Episcopal Academy 35-0. The win puts them on the road against undefeated Malvern Prep to decide the Inter-Academic title.  

15. Father Judge (8-2) Just when it really looked like Father Judge had taken it to another level, North Catholic got in their face for a surprising 25-7 win. But the Crusaders have had a wonderful season and still came down with the 2 seed moving into the Red Division playoffs. They have the week off awaiting the winner of the Roman-North game.

16. Roman Catholic (8-2) After starting the season 6-0, the Cahillites have gone 2-2. They reached bottom last week when they were routed by St. Joseph’s Prep 36-7. This week as a  3 seed they host North Catholic who is all pumped up after blowing away Father Judge last week.

17. Downingtown East (7-2) Downingtown East has had a decent season, going 8-2 and into the postseason with the 13^th seed. That seems good on the surface but fades when noticing their losses came against Coatesville and Henderson. The 20-0 loss last week to Henderson was unusual in that the Cougar air attack is rarely shutout! So they enter the postseason with concerns, especially against a Souderton team brimming with confidence.

18. Garnet Valley (3A, 8-1) Garnet Valley is having a nice year going 8-1 as an Independent and staying relatively healthy. Next year they join the Central League so what better way to get acquainted than going into the night for a game against Strath Haven’s Panthers. The Jaguars have encountered quality once this season, against Unionville’s physical team, but they haven’t played a team like Strath Haven who can beat you on the edges or pound it down your throat. So it’s the Jaguars coming into new and hostile territory in search of a Panther. It’s a jungle out there!    

19. Glen Mills (8-2) How about these Bulls finally getting it together after 7 years of mediocrity which produced a 34-32 won loss mark. There were a few years where the Bulls were right there with the great Downingtown teams and St. Ignatius of Ohio. They have not come back to that level but are tremendously improved over the last few years. This year as always they have a standout at running back, Bernard Pierce, who has rushed for 1164 yards on 124 attempts. And the athleticism, size and speed is all over the field. When these guys get it right they are scary and hang with teams like Parkland in the opener where they lost 20-14. At their worst, they loss to Downingtown East 35-0. Who knows which one turns up in Barto Friday against 7^th seeded Perkiomen Valley but something decent better show or the quick striking Vikings will jump out to a lead and neutralize their major weapon in Bernard Pierce. They score 40ppg and allow 15. Quarterback Zach Zulli completed 111 of 192 tosses (58%) with 25 touchdowns and just 5 interceptions! They have balance with running back Derrick Jones rushing for 1171 yards on 148 carries. The Bulls have the 10^th seed but should not underestimate this PAC opponent.   

20. Hatboro Horsham (8-2) Here is another nice story where Hatboro Horsham seems to have grown up since last year and become a little meaner. Some of the linemen are huge, like Travis Poston at 6-6, 320 and Alex Myers, 6-0, 260. Dan Schandein (6-0, 185) has been a solid running back as well. As the 9^th seed, they got a tough assignment drawing 8^th seeded Downingtown West in the 1^st round Friday. West will shut them down if QB Mike Zollo can’t balance things out. Seeing how they performed against Neshaminy and Souderton suggests it could be as long a day.
