Although the stats don't jump out of a newspaper and on to your lap, Brad Fegley (7-46, 1TD on the ground and 4-8, 48 yards through the air) had a great game on Friday night against Line Mountain. Fegley making his first start at quarterback as a senior, led an all-rookie backfield to 6 touchdowns and 460 yards of offense against a very good Eagle team in a convincing 42-25 win on Friday night.
The story on Friday night was not so much about the Friday performance but more about perseverance. Fegley often injured since his freshman year not only directed the Southern "O", but played outside linebacker on a very stellar Tiger "D". Hopefully, Fegley will be rewarded for his hard work with a solid senior year. If Friday's performance is any indication, the Tiger's will be in good hands.

In Hughesville's OT victory over Warrior Run on Friday, the Spartans kicked a 24-yard field goal. The attempt was a little more than a chipshot for most high school players. But when you look at the name of the kicker, Greta Newhart, is a first-year female kicker for the Spartans. Great job by Greta.

Shamokin Area came into Friday's game with Mifflinburg knowing they would have to rely on their defense. With the score tied at 3 with under 7 minutes left in the 3rd quarter, the Wildcats scored 29 unanswered points as the Indians committed 4 turnovers.

Mount Carmel used a few big plays to beat Selinsgrove on Friday night at the Silver Bowl. Which leads me not make any changes in my Heartland Fab 5. Two years removed from the AAA state title, the Seals will be a good football team. The win by the Red Tornadoes sets up a showdown at Chrisy Mathewson stadium at Bucknell University which will be the biggest crowd their this season.

Former Southern Columbia running back is officially a New York Giant making the 53-man roster. Depending on offensive sets, the rookie fullback should see plenty of playing time in the season opener. Good luck and congratulations to Henry and his family.
