Central Bucks East 21, Central Bucks South 7

More:CB East uses punishing ground game to upend CB South

Ethan Shine had a huge second half and Central Bucks East rode its stingy defense to a 21-7 win over host Central Bucks South in a Suburban One League National Conference game Friday night. Shine, who was "limited" to 61 rushing yards in the first half, picked up 156 yards on the ground after intermission to go along with his second touchdown run to help the Patriots put the game away. Central Bucks East improved to 4-0 while the Titans dropped to 3-1.

North Penn 35, Neshaminy 28 (OT)

More:Mario Sgro becoming quite a catch for North Penn football

North Penn was coming off a heartbreaker in the last minute to Upper Dublin at home last week. Neshaminy, after winning its first two games, was coming off a tough loss to Downingtown West. Both teams left it all on the field in a thrilling back-and-forth game that, fittingly, wasn’t decided until overtime.

Knights’ QB Ryan Zeltt finished 19-for-27 passing for 327 yards and four touchdowns. Junior Rashad McNeil led the receivers with four catches for 110 yards, including a 61-yard bomb from Zeltt with 4:37 remaining that temporarily put the Knights up 28-21.

Neshaminy senior Markus Barnett gave about as much as a running back can be asked to give, rushing 38 times for 183 yards and two touchdowns.

Council Rock South 14, Harry S. Truman 6

More:Council Rock South's Zarnowsky catching up after broken collarbone, helps deliver win

A 34-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter from Chase Ennis to Jake Zarnowsky proved the difference as visiting Council Rock South (2-2, 1-0 SOL) defeated Truman, 14-6, on Friday night. The Tigers (1-3, 0-1) were down to their fourth-string quarterback, the versatile Rondell Bradley, and he got them on the board with a 20-yard touchdown run in the third period.

Pennsbury 26, Central Bucks West 21

More:Jake Mullery's big night helps Pennsbury to 3rd straight victory with win at CB West

The Falcons went on the road and took care of business at War Memorial Field. Galamama Mulbah had another huge game, rushing for 234 yards and scoring three touchdowns. The defense also turned in a stellar outing. Linebacker Cade Gabbett had three sacks and returned a fumble 70 yards for a second-quarter scoop-and-score touchdown. Jake Mullery had three sacks, one of which led directly to a touchdown via a fumble return in the closing seconds of the first half. The Bucks' Conor McFadden returned a kickoff 90 yards for a TD.

The Falcons won their third straight game to improve to 3-1, while CB West fell to 1-3 after winning their first game last week.

William Tennent 30, Hatboro-Horsham 18

More:Unselfish play from Lawson, Stanfield lead Tennent to first win

Something had to give Friday night with both William Tennent and Hatboro-Horsham looking for a win. The Hatters gave it their best effort, but the Panthers went home with their first victory.

Tennent quarterback Tim Lawson rushed for 166 yards and three touchdowns, including scoring runs of 49 and 91 yards, and led the Panthers (1-3) past host Hatboro-Horsham, 30-18, in a nonleague contest.

The Hatters (0-3) ran nearly twice as many plays as Tennent and outgained the Panthers by nearly 100 yards, but Tennent held off Hatboro-Horsham down the stretch with a game-clinching 9 minute, 15-play drive that ended with a touchdown by Lawson.

Archbishop Wood 14, Northeast 6

The Vikings started their season two weeks late, had to play Malvern Prep in their first game of the season, and this week, faced a 3-0 Northeast team. You’d never know any of that, though, given the way the Vikings handled business in a 14-6 victory.

After a scoreless first quarter, the Vikings took a 7-0 lead in the second quarter, and a long run by Ryan Wilson made it 14-0 in the third. Northeast scored in the fourth but the Vikings denied the two-point conversion attempt. The win was the first for Vikings’ new head coach Dave Armstrong, who took over in the offseason.

Tyler Wetzel started things off with a 35-yard rushing TD, Nate Mossbrook followed with a TD run of 70 yards, and Trevor Fuhs returned an interception 84 yards to give the Rams a 21-0 lead in the first quarter.

Chris Kerns had 85 rushing yards and two touchdowns while quarterback Jared Zimmerman went 9-for-11 passing with 90 yards as Souderton topped CR North. Caleb Hageman intercepted a pass and returned it for a touchdown in the win. Souderton improved to 3-1, while CR North fell to 1-3.

Upper Dublin 33, Bensalem 7

Jenkintown 6, New Hope-Solebury 3

Saturday, Sept. 17

Bristol 56, Pennington School 26

A 30-point win is impressive enough. But Bristol’s victory is even more impressive considering that the Warriors were down 14-7 after the first quarter against Pennington School. While there were contributions from the entire lineup, it was Kendell Cottrell’s remarkable performance that put the Warriors over the top.

The junior running back racked up 208 rushing yards and four touchdowns, along with 60 receiving yards and a receiving TD. Jaden Bobbs added a pair of rushing scores, while Roshie Newkird passed for 125 yards and a touchdown. One the defensive side, Brandon Anthony grabbed two interceptions, one of which he returned for a TD, Cottrell and Jamar Charles both forced a fumble, and Xavier Shefcyk had three tackles for a loss.

The Warriors improved to 4-0 with the win and will take on Academy of the New Church Friday.

Germantown Academy 37, Olney 6

Tripp Capers scored rushing touchdowns of 37 and 77 yards as the Patriots improved to 3-0 with the non-league win. Capers finished with 141 yards, while Tristan Machado threw touchdown passes to Aidan Donahue, Logan Woodward, and A.J. Towsen.

Conwell-Egan 20, Archbishop Ryan 0

Sophomore Sincere Fairey had a big game on both sides of the ball as the Eagles knocked off Archbishop Ryan in a PCL Blue Division game. Fairey had a 80-yard touchdown run, two sacks, and forced a fumble in the shutout. Colin Majors and Sammy Cooper also had a touchdown each in the win. Tim Gipli had an interception and Gavin Pond made five tackles for loss to secure the shutout.

Upper Moreland 42, Executive Education 19

A week after a 37-7 loss to Interboro, the Golden Bears’ offense was back to form. Stephen Broderick, who scored six rushing touchdowns in the first two games, ran wild in this one, scoring four TDs. Hassan Johnson and Shawn Herbert added a touchdown apiece as Upper Moreland improved to 3-1.

Neumann-Goretti 26, Lansdale Catholic 7

The Crusaders (3-1) were dealt their first loss of season by Catholic League foe Neumann-Goretti. It was also the first game of the season that the Crusaders scored under 42 points. Next week, the Crusaders have a big PCL Blue Division matchup against Conwell-Egan (2-2).
