High School

Friday, October 2, 2009

For the first few weeks of the Colonial League regular season, the Northern Lehigh boys' and girls' cross country teams have been slowed down a bit by injuries.

Entering their fourth meet of the season, the Bulldogs were able to heal all wounds with a superb performance in Slatington.

It was a great "homecoming" for the Northern Lehigh harriers as the programs combined for a 10-2 mark on the day. In fact, both the boys' and girls' dropped identical 19-37 setbacks to the same team Notre Dame of Green Pond but posted victories against the other five competing teams.

One big week pays some big dividends

Last week, I was talking about how it felt to be in last place for the second week in a row.

I did find one bright side. The week before I was in the basement all alone. Last week, I got to share it with Bob Ford and T.J. Engle.

Not that I didn't enjoy their company, but with the best record (11-4) in Week No. 4, I've moved in to a tie for third place with former co-leader Mike Haines (who was 7-8 last week), Emmett McCall and Joe Plasko with a 40-20 record.

PV to face tough foe

Before his Panthers began the season, Panther Valley head coach Frank Damian was well aware of what teams were going to be serious contenders in the Anthracite Football League.

"We knew coming back that (the AFL) would have some good, solid teams that had a lot of people coming back," Damian said. "If they stayed injury free, they're all going to be tough in the league.

"North Schuylkill being one, Tamaqua being another, and Haven as well."

Getz getting it done

Pleasant Valley has a lot of new faces on its football team this year.

From the head coach to the assistant coaches to the starters on the field, there have been a number of people who have turned a 'rebuilding season' into a little bit more than that.

One face everyone will soon come to know is that of Robert Getz.

Can Tribe end skid?

POCONO MOUNTAIN EAST AT LEHIGHTON

WHEN

Friday, 7 p.m.

RECORDS

Pocono Mountain East 1-3 overall (0-1 Mountain Valley Conference); Lehighton 1-3 overall (0-1 Mountain Valley Conference)

KEYS TO THE GAME

* Lehighton expects East to run either a "53" or "60" formation on defense. Thus, the Indians will look to "polish" up their own "Apache" offensive attack - their own version of the "Wildcat." With Tim Sulzer limited with a slight injury, the Indians will look to 6-foot, 190-pound senior running back Nate Black to carry the load of the carries.
