3 Games, 9 Days

by Jeff Fisher
Pennsylvania High School Football Huddle

In my research, Easton, and in some years Phillipsburg (New Jersey), are the only teams in America that play three high school football games in just eight days.

Yes, think about that; 3 in 9!!

First, the reason for the plethora of games in nine days.

It simple, Easton and their across the Delaware River rival Phillipsburg, play a Thanksgiving Day rivalry game that will NEVER be moved.  Couple that with the fact that Easton's second round district playoff game is played on the Friday before the Turkey Day match-up that annually attracts 14,000 fans to Lafayette College.

If Easton wins the second round district game, the Red Rovers know they'll be playing for a district championship the following Saturday; two days after playing P'burg on Thanksgiving morning.

So you may think that there's  enough moving parts that Easton wouldn't have to worry about the 3 in 9 equation very much.

Think again!

Last night's Easton played Nazareth, it's third game in nine days for the District 11 championship.  And, yes, second in three.

It was also the third straight year that Easton has played 3 in 9.

One other point, Easton head coach Steve Shiffert NEVER rests his starters against Phillipsburg; the game is too big!

One thing the Rovers have never been able to pull-off the sweep, meaning a perfect 3-0.  Last year, the Rovers were upset 3-0 in overtime in the snow on Thanksgiving Day, but bounced back to beat Whitehall two days later to win the district championship.

Last night, Easton, fresh of a Thanksgiving Day win over Phillipsburg, the Rovers were going after a perfect three games in nine days.  A win would give them a third straight district title, plus a berth in next week's Class AAAA state quarterfinals.

At the start, it looked like Easton would finally end the nine day stretch with a trio of wins.

The Red Rover jumped-out to a 14-point lead against Nazareth, but couldn't hold-on.  In the end, Nazareth won its first district crown with a 28-21 win on its home field.

Some say, Easton's quest for a state title will always be hampered by its desire not to move the Thanksgiving Day.

Having witnessed Easton's 3 in 9 several times, I'm here to tell you there isn't a bigger feat on the high school gridiron.  What the Easton kids and coaches go through during this stretch is magical.

Did Easton get its third straight gold Saturday?   No, but, I will tell you that I think they deserve a gold medal for choosing to keep its tradition alive with Phillipsburg over playing only two games in eight or nine days.

I salute you Rover Nation!!

Congrats on an 11-3 season and upholding the true tradition and spirit of high school athletic competition!

Pius X Wins District XI Class A Title

by Jeff Fisher
Pennsylvania High School Football Huddle

Sometimes things can't be explained; like why was today's District XI Class A playoff game played on what would have been the 80th birthday of the man that the Pius X Royals dedicated their season to.

The Royals have dedicated the 2011 season to their longtime fan John "Pappy" Hildabrant, who passed away during preseason camp in August.  Today, the Royals went after District XI Class A gold against Shenandoah Valley at Nazareth on what would have been "Pappy's" 80th birthday.

With the memory of "Pappy" in their minds and his name on the back of their helmets, the Royals dismantled the Blue Devils 50-12.  The Royals finished second in the district the past two years.

The Royals were led by quarterback A.J. Long and Boise Ross.  Long, who broke the record for TDs in a season (37), was 10 of 17 for 206 yards and two touchdowns.  The sophomore QB also rushed for 173 yards on 13 carries and two scores.

Ross, a junior, scored three touchdowns; he only had six touches, but put-up 276 yards in total offense.  Ross caught four passes for 166 yards and two touchdowns and carried the ball twice for 110 yards and a touchdown.

The Royals finished the game with 562 yards in total offense.

Next week, Pius X will play Calvary Christian in the opening round of the PIAA state playoffs.

When the Royals returned to their home base of Roseto, the entire team stopped at the Mount Carmel Cemetery to place a gold medal at Pappy's gravesite.

It's a known fact that the WPIAL teams have a tough road to the state tournament.  Especially in the Class AAAA bracket where some of the state's best beat-up on each other for the right for WPIAL gold and automatic berth into the state semifinals.

Last night, nationally-ranked Pittsburgh Central Catholic (#12 USA Today) saw its perfect season go up-in-smoke with a 28-14 loss to Upper St. Clair in the semifinals.  Playing without its starting quarterback, Dakota Conwell, USC used first-time starter Pete Coughlin, who rushed for 209 yards and passed for 61 to hand the Vikings their second straight WPIAL semifinal loss.



The win the 354th of Jim Render's career, who is third on the state's all-time wins list.

Next week, Upper St. Clair will play defending state champ North Allegheny for the WPIAL AAAA title.

In Pottsville last night, Allentown Central Catholic's Kevin Gulyas became the state's all-time leading receiver in catches and yards in the Vikings 49-7 District XI championship game win over Pottsville.

Gulyas, who had 11 receptions for 163 yards, now has 232 catches in his career for 3,726 yards.

The defending Class AAA champs advance to the state quarterfinals where they'll face the winner of Saturday's game between Dallas and Valley View.

After a 5-5 regular season, the Vikings have outscored their playoff opponents 104-28.

Pennsylvania HIgh School Football Scores - Playoffs/1st Round

Pennsylvania High School Football Huddle

I returned to Pennsylvania on Thursday to work on the final part of my documentary called Roseto's Royals that examines the deep relationship between the small community of Roseto, just south of the Poconos, and its high school football team, the Pius X Royals.

Today, I took-in two games on a perfect day for high school football.

First, I watched the top-seeded Royals advanced to the District XI Class A championship game for the third year in a row with a 42-14 defeat of Williams Valley.  The Royals offense was firing on all-cylinders scoring 42 points on only 36 offensive plays.

Pius amassed 499 yards in total offense on those 36 plays.  The Royals were led by sophomore quarterback A.J. Long, who threw three TD passes; two to senior Drake Freeman.

The Royals will meet Shenandoah next Saturday in the championship game.

In Minersville, I watched Shenandoah bounce back from a 19-6 third quarter deficit to beat the Battlin' Miners to advance to the school's first District XI Class A title game in five years.   The Blue Devils scored three fourth quarter TDs to knock-off the home team 26-25.


On a fun note, Minersville Park, which is now the site of a strip mall called King's Plaza, was the home field of the NFL's Pottsville Maroons in the 1920s.  After the game, I actually ate with the Pius X coaching staff at Palmero's, which is located in King's Plaza.

For those of you that don't know, many believe the Maroons won the 1925 NFL championship, but the team was stripped of the title a week after beating the Chicago Cardinals 21-7 on December 6, 1925.  Back then, the NFL, in its infancy, actually based the title on winning percentage; there was no playoff system.  After the December 6th win, the Maroons owned a 10-2 record, while the Cardinals were 9-2-1, including their loss to Pottsville.

December 6th was supposed signal the end of the season, but the NFL allowed the Cardinals to play two more games (both wins) after the loss to the Maroons.  Those two wins, coupled with the fact that NFL commissioner Joseph Carr suspended the Maroons for playing an exhibition game in Philadelphia earlier in the year.

The suspension was based on the fact that the NFL had warned the Maroons that they couldn't play the exhibition game in Philly against a team of former University of Notre Dame football stars.  The Maroons played the game, which the NFL said infringed upon the territory rights of the Frankford Yellow Jackets (now the Philadelphia Eagles).

The suspension meant the Maroons couldn't finish their schedule, so the NFL awarded the championship to the Cardinals with an 11-2-1 record.  To the Cardinals' credit, the team's owner refused to accept the title.  However, in 1933 when the Bidwell family bought the Cardinals, Charles Bidwell publicly took credit for the title.

Some say the claiming of the 1925 title has placed a curse on the Cardinals, who are still owned by the Bidwell family, but have only won one other title back in 1947.

Sorry for digressing, but it thinks it's cool to know that the NFL once played in a 5,000 to 6,000 seat high school football stadium in the tiny town of Minersville that at the last census had a little over 4,500 residents.

Hopewell's Rushel Shell's career is over, but not before he set a couple of records Friday night in his team's 24-21 loss to top-ranked Aliquippa in the WPIAL Class AA semifinals.

Shell rushed for 292 yards to set a new national record for consecutive games with more than 100-yards rushing.  It was the Pitt recruit's 39th straight game above the century mark.

The 6-foot, 215-pounder also became Pennsylvania all-time leading rusher, ending his career with 9,078 yards, which moved him ahead of Jeremiah Young of Steelton-Highspire, who ran for 9,027 yards from 2004 to 2007.
