Was Week 9 the most entertaining of the season so far? You had Southern Lehigh hold off Northwestern in a battle of Colonial League titans.

Freedom and Easton played a thriller in Bethlehem last Friday night, but the biggest shocker of the season happened in Orefield last week, as Whitehall overcame a 21-point deficit to stun Parkland 45-42.

The loss drops the Trojans in the standings and now puts the Zephyrs where?
