To beat the #6 team in the state, you have to play near perfect football.
Palisades (2-1) did not play a perfect first half when they hosted Catasauqua (3-0) on Friday.
But the Pirates played a very, very good one- committing no penalties, keeping the Rough Riders’ potent offense off the field and averaging almost 4 yards per carry when they had the ball. Palisades found themselves down just 12-7 at halftime to one of the best teams in the state.
Yet the Rough Riders, PA Football News’ #6-ranked team in the state, were as dominant in the second half as they were evenly matched in the first. A 38-yard bomb from senior quarterback Zach Bradley to classmate and all-state wide receiver Paryss Marshall highlighted a 5-play, 57-yard drive to open the second half.
Marshall returned a punt 87 yards for a touchdown one series leader.
