Prep Football: Week 10 Rewind

With the District 3 playoffs heading our way over the weekend, you can find all of the information on matchups, times and locations here. South Western, Spring Grove, New Oxford, Delone Catholic and Littlestown all made the playoffs.

Spring Grove and New Oxford — which probably has the toughest matchup out of anyone having to face an explosive Susquehanna Township team — will hit the road while the other three will host home games.

But first, let’s start with what happened in Week 10…An upset of state ranked West York by Littlestown.

York Daily Record reporter Steve Navaroli covered the game and this was his lede:

There were many people who believed that Littlestown could upset West York and earn a share of the YAIAA Division II championship.

Those believers were the Thunderbolt players, coaches and fans.

Ah hemmm, Steve? I believe you forgot to mention Evening Sun reporters Cory Mull and Travis Johnson, who both predicted an upset on Friday in their “Road to Paydirt” video.

I’ll let it slide.

The upset came as a surprise to most, mainly because West York looked untouchable heading into the final game of the regular season. But you can never guess out Littlestown (8-2, 5-1 YAIAA II), who’s passing style has more reward than risk most of the times, especially with Zuber behind center and with Matt Koontz and Mitch Deaner out wide.

With the win, the Bolts clinched a share of the Division II title with West York.

“Did I think we could score 47 points and leave 14 on the table? No,” Lippy said Saturday. “I thought we could move the ball and compete against them. It’s nice to put it all together one night and in a meaningful game.”

South Western in full gear in win over New Oxford: Over at The Mustang Corral, South Western finished off their season impressively with a result over the Colonials, earning a share of the Division I title and the Hanover Area Division I Cup in the process.

Maybe the biggest accomplishment was the fact that with the co-league title, it made it 15 championships in 50 years for South Western. Averaged out, that’s a title every full class to come in the school over the last 50 years.

“When you average that out, you claim a title every full class,” Seidenstricker said Saturday. “That was big for us. We weren’t sure going in. Every team wants to be undefeated. Every team wants to win a title. Every team wants to go to districts and states. But the reality is that you have to stay in that week-to-week grind.”
