Friday

Hatboro-Horsham 35, Lower Moreland 7

It’s been a long time coming, as the Hatters earned a much-deserved win - their first since November 2019 - on Friday night. The Hatters received standout performances from several players in the win, particularly in the running game.

Mason Bynum rushed for 90 yards and scored two touchdowns, while quarterback Brady Pagano added another 26 yards on the ground and two touchdowns. Jaxon Bumpus had 96 rushing yards and scored two touchdowns.

The Hatters, who had a good showing in last week’s loss to Tennent,  had to forfeit several games last season, due to a rash of injuries combined with a small roster size.

Lansdale Catholic 10, Conwell-Egan 0

Lansdale Catholic didn’t have its best night offensively. The defense, though, was another matter, as the Crusaders forced three turnovers and another five turnovers on downs in a 10-0 win over Conwell-Egan to spoil its homecoming night at Henry C. Morgan Stadium.

The Crusaders' lone touchdown came on defense, as a huge hit on Eagles quarterback Stephen Tryon forced a fumble that bounced into the hands of Evan Lojewski. He ran it back 50 yards for what proved to be the game-winner.

HS Football: Surging Pennsbury football rumbles past Central Bucks South

H.S. football:John Eatherton keys Quakertown victory over Council Rock South

After a scoreless first quarter, Quakertown got on the board with a safety after a high snap sailed through the end zone. The Panthers' offense kicked in soon after, and John Eatherton ran in from 1 yard out to give the Panthers an 8-0 halftime lead. It was Eatherton again in the second half, this time scoring on a 76-yard touchdown reception from quarterback Vince Miccuci. Eatherton, who missed the first three games due to injury, then added the two-point conversion to close out the scoring. The Panthers, who hadn’t won since their season opener, improved to 2-3, and CR South fell to 2-3.

Central Bucks East 16, Pennridge 13 (2 OT)

Jack Corrigan was clutch under pressure, as the Patriots’ kicker booted a field goal through the uprights in double overtime to keep CB East (5-0) undefeated on the season. The game was heavy on defense, with the Patriots’ Pat Keller’s 1-yard plunge over the goal line the only scoring in the first half. In the third, Brennan Fisher returned a kickoff 80 yards to tie things up as the teams went back and forth. Ethan Shine added a 2-yard rushing TD to give the Patriots a 13-7 lead, which didn’t last long as Tyler Wetzel scored on an 8-yard run for the tie.
