GAME OF THE WEEK: Pennridge 28, North Penn 21 - The schedule works out that with the first win over North Penn in eight years the Rams look in line to win the Suburban One Continental Conference chamnpionship and grace the District One playoffs. The Knights concentrated on the Rams' running game on Friday and it was the passing game that produced the final dagger. A 38-yard touchdown pass from Alex Krivda to Kyle Bigam with 25 seconds allowed the Rams to remain unbeaten in league play.  CLICK HERE TO READ THE GAME STORY

PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Brandon Bossard (Methacton) Methacton 24, Boyertown 20 - Signing the Letter of Intent to Eastern Michigan prior to his senior season put on giant target on the Warriors' quarterback. Every team's game plan has been to stop Bossard, including Boyertown on Saturday, but the Bears could not bottle up Bossard. The dual threat ran for 83 yards and tossed a season high 234 passing yards, which included two touchdown passes. CLICK HERE TO READ THE GAME STORY
