FROM KEITH GROLLER
It was mixed bag for the Mountain Valley Conference football on Friday night.
East Stroudsburg South and Stroudsburg were impressive, and Pleasant Valley and Pocono Mountain West were left disappointed.
East Stroudsburg North continued its mastery of Honesdale, Lehighton pulled off a major surprise and Dieruff and Pocono Mountain East played some bonus football with the Cardinals getting to celebrate at night's end.
The recap, courtesy of Roger Pence and the results staff at The Morning Call:
Pocono Mountain East 28, Dieruff 27 -- Shakur Lester ran for two touchdowns and passed for one, but he was stopped on the 3-yard line as Dieruff went for two points in overtime. PM East scored a touchdown in OT and kicked the extra point, which proved to be the difference. Corey Castillion scored three TDs and ran for 169 yards on 18 carries for the Cardinals. For the Huskies, Chris Marks was 13-for-26 passing for 149 yards and hit Tyshyn Harmon on a 48-yard scoring play.
Stroudsburg 49, Northampton 26 -- Gerald Douglas ran for 220 yards and three touchdowns for the Mounties. Stroudsburg scored 21 points in the second quarter, including a blocked punt returned for a TD and an 88-yard kickoff return. Nick Cook ran for 109 yards on 21 carries and two touchdowns for the Konkrete Kids.
East Stroudsburg South 17, Freedom 7 -- Freshman quarterback Jake Cirillo threw for two long touchdowns--- a 65-yarder to Niko Petrone and a 71-yard strike to Bryan Nazario --- and the Cavaliers held Freedom scoreless in the second half. Joe Santos scored the lone Patriots TD as Freedom fell to South for the second straight year.
Nazareth 31, Pleasant Valley 9 -- An expected high-powered offense for the Bears never materialized and Jordan Gray ran for 97 yards and two touchdowns as the Blue Eagles continued their domimance in this series. Austyn Borre had the lone touchdown for the Bears, who trailed 25-0 before getting on the board with a fourth-quarter safety. Spencer King was 12-for-15 passes and two touchdowns for Nazareth.
Bethlehem Catholic 35, PM West 7 -- The Golden Hawks had no trouble avenging a Week 1 loss of a year ago with two interceptions returned for touchdowns keying a 21-point second quarter. Ryan Johnson and Chris Figler had the pick-6s. Michael McDaniel ran for two TDs and 130 yards for the Golden Hawks, who have already matched their win total of last season. Qmac Quiteh scored the lone TD for the Panthers.
Lehighton 27, Marian Catholic 14 -- Sophomore quarterback Tyler Cann ran for one touchdown and threw for another as the Indians delivered an opening-night surprise for coach Tom McCarroll, a Marian Catholic graduate. Cann ran for 66 yards and was 9-for-14 passing for 154 yards. The Indians built a 20-0 lead but withstood a late charge by the Colts. Anthony Agosti gained 76 yards on 12 carries and scored both of the Marian touchdowns.
ES North 29, Honesdale 19 -- Senior quarterback Will Quiles ran for 163 yards and two touchdowns, including a 58-yard TD dash in the first quarter. Kahir Bowman added a TD and ran for 77 yards and Kyle Huziarski and Dave Quiles each intercepted passes for the Timberwolves.
