EAST ROCKHILL – A promising opening drive for the Quakertown football team appeared to be derailed when nine yards from the end zone a high snap went over the grasp of quarterback Vince Micucci. “My first thought was ‘Oh shoot,” Micucci said. The Panthers’ senior signal caller, however, kept his cool. After scooping up the loose ball, Micucci rolled right then tight-roped down the sideline before letting go of a throw that found Max Morris at the one to pick up a first down on 3rd-and-8. “It happened I think once or twice earlier in the season, so usually they […]

EAST ROCKHILL – Without his helmet on, Souderton’s Ben Walsh looks every bit the young quarterback he is. The sophomore is all of two games into his high school career, but he’s already showing up in moments often reserved for upperclassmen and delivering. It’s not all going to be perfect, and it certainly wasn’t Friday […]
