EAST ROCKHILL It’s all zeroes for Pennridge’s defense the last two weeks. Rams defenders picked off three passes, registered three sacks, recorded a safety and laid out more than their share of big hits in between. Every one of those plays mattered, especially with an Abington defense on the other side matching them almost takeaway for takeaway and hit for hit. With both defenses fired up, Pennridge’s offense came up with enough points as the Rams collected their second straight shutout to best Abington 28-0 on Thursday.
EAST ROCKHILL Kyle Beller is the Pennridge football team’s third head coach in three seasons. And while he’s taking over a program entering the 2023 season on a seven-game losing streak, he isn’t dwelling on the Rams’ recent history. “We just really focus on us and now,” Beller said. “Last year, no matter what happened, just like last week, it doesn’t matter. It’s kind of always been my philosophy of coaching there, you know whatever happened last week was last week so we just cut it loose and move on, win, lose or draw.”
Brian Kuhns kept Pennridge on the rise despite illnesses and injuries in the season's first month. The Rams then made program history by winning its first District 1 Class 3A team title. He is The Morning Call All-Area 3A coach of the year.
