On a crisp night last Friday, host Palisades went into halftime having thoroughly outplayed Southern Lehigh in a battle of two 7-1 Colonial League foes.
The Pirates held the ball for 18 minutes compared to the Spartans’ six. Palisades recorded nine first downs versus Southern Lehigh’s three. And the Pirates’ potent ground attack out-gained the Spartans 146 yards to 61.
So it was problematic that Palisades (7-2) went into the break up just 3-0.
“We blew opportunities. We were up 3-0 but we had no business being up 3-0,” pointed out head coach Kevin Ronalds. “We should have been up 14 or 21-0. We don’t usually do those kinds of things.”
The potent Southern Lehigh (8-1) offense- they averaged over 36 points per game coming into Palisades- put it together in the second half and pulled away for a 14-3 win.
