4-0 Hawks ready for Huskies
Bethlehem Catholic's 42-0 victory over East Stroudsburg South may not look like much on paper, but to head coach Joe Henrich, the result was perhaps the best one of the year.
Michael McDaniel led the charge again for Becahi, rushing for 215 yards and three touchdowns, as the Hawks moved to 4-0 for the first time since the 2002 season.
Missing their starting middle linebacker, their backup middle linebacker and their starting right tackle, Becahi didn't miss a step against the struggling Cavaliers (1-3), as they limited their northern counterparts to 108 yards of offense.
"I think that was actually our most complete game of the season," said Henrich. "We had a couple of guys out with injuries and everyone rose up and accepted the challenge. I'm proud of how we played."
Quarterback Julian Spigner was efficient again, going 12-of-15 for 145 yards and a touchdown, as Becahi was never threatened last week.
This week, the Hawks encounter Dieruff (2-2), who were pummeled by Stroudsburg 42-7 last week.
The Huskies defeated East Stroudsburg South 21-14 this season and feature running back Shakur Lester, who has already committed to Monmouth University.
Lester is the marquee playmaker for the Huskies and also the one player that has heightened the interest of this contest on his own.
"Our kids know some of the kids in that program and there are guys over there that started here and transferred over to Dieruff," Henrich said. "Lester has said some things on Twitter about wanting to play us, which adds some motivation for our guys. I think a lot of our guys are looking forward to this one."
Friday night's meeting at J. BIrney Crum will be the first between both schools since 2011 and Henrich feels his team has finally understood the importance of preparing every week.
"I think we finally got through to our players on how to prepare the right way every week, no matter who we play," he said. "I'm just proud of how we took care of business last week."
