Nazareth routs Northampton 63-28 in LVC football

http://www.mcall.com/sports/varsity/mc-nazareth-northampton-football-0907-20120907,0,4360886.story FROM THE MORNING CALL The bobbled shotgun snap that he turned into a 31-yard touchdown sprint showed off his legs. And the perfectly placed 51-yard touchdown pass he lofted to Anthony Gaetaniello showed off his arm. It would be unfair to compare Nazareth senior quarterback Parish Simmons to graduated Blue Eagles' signal-caller Dan Harding just two games into the high school football season. But, Simmons is a name fans are likely to hear quite often this fall. A dual-threat, Nazareth's No. 5 passed for 145 yards with two touchdowns and rushed for 119 yards and two scores Friday night as the defending Lehigh Valley Conference champion Blue Eagles parlayed a 49-point second quarter into a 63-28 victory over Cement Belt rival Northampton at Andrew S. Leh Stadium.
