Pete’s Top-10: Regular season comes to end
We’ve come to week 10 of the season and we finally had a real upset last week with Northampton shocking Nazareth 41-28.
Northampton was always able to score this year, but has their defense found new life to make them a threat?
On the other side of the coin, Bethlehem Catholic has fallen from their fast start, losing their last three games.
Both teams square off this week, as postseason positioning is on the line.
Easton stays undefeated, but haven’t been dominating teams like earlier in the year. Parkland looks to keep steamrolling teams and the battle of Bethlehem finally has real meaning this Saturday when Liberty and Freedom take center stage.
Lastly, the Colonial League Super Bowl is Friday night with Northwestern and Southern Lehigh squaring off in an undefeated showdown.
