Last night on Sportstalk, former Cocalico Football Head Coach Phil Kauffman & Blue Ridge 11 Sports’ “Voice of L-L Football”, Eric May, give their thoughts on our local football teams’ performances in Week 1 of the HS Football Season!! We’ve got breakdowns of the first game of the season for Cocalico, Warwick, Manheim Central & Ephrata…
Cocalico's "Cinderella Story" in the HS Football postseason came to an end in the 5A PIAA State Semifinals with a 34-12 loss against District 7 Champ, Pine-Richland! The Eagles, who came in as the 5A District 3 Champs feel behind 21-0 at the half & could complete the 2nd half comeback! Cocalico ends their season 10-5 with the program's 4th District Title & 3rd appearance in the State Semifinals!
Cocalico and Manheim Central were locked in a tight ballgame that came down to the final innings... as the Lady Barons rallied to win 5-4! Cocalico took the early 3-0 lead, with runs by Kira Lehman, Gretchen Showalter & Clarissa Lockman... but Central plated 2 runs in the bottom of the 3rd with a 2 RBI single from Abbi Logan! Lady Barons would take the 4-3 lead in the 4th & tack on another run in the 5th! Cocalico cut it to 5-4 late, but could not plate the tying run! Riley Hostetter got the win in the circle for Manheim Central!
Ahead of a big playoff showdown in the 4A District 3 Quarterfinals between Cocalico & Berks Catholic, our guys on Sportstalk broke down the matchup and gave you a couple of "Keys to the Game!" Check out their analysis...
Warwick staked their claim as "Top Dog" in Section 2 with a 53-36 Win over Ephrata! Parker Horst (16pts) & Caleb McCamant (14pts) poured in Season Highs for the Warriors, who used a 16-7 advantage in the 3rd quarter to blow the game open! Marcus Hardin led Ephrata with 11 points!
-- The rematch is January 28 at Ephrata!
