EAST STROUDSBURG – Going into tonight’s game, Easton’s number one priority was to try and stop or at least slow down East Stroudsburg South’s running back Niko Petrone. Well, you can check that off the list. They held the 2,000-yard runner to just 26-yards rushing in the game.
Easton Area’s defense dominated East Stroudsburg South Friday night in a 31-0 shutout to advance to the District 11 4A finals against Parkland. With the win, Easton joins Mount Carmel Area as the only programs in the state to win 800 or more games.
“It’s big to us,” said head football coach Steve Shiffert. “Believe it or not we do keep track of those things and for us to hit the 800 plateau is great, but to do it Easton style with a shutout made it twice as sweet tonight.”
Joining Easton next Friday night is Parkland who defeated Whitehall for the second time this season, 27-10.
