FROM THE MORNING CALL
PHILADELPHIA — There could have been soaking wet goggles, the unmistakable triumphant smell of champagne and deafening chants from the crowd, all of which would have put enormous smiles on players' faces.
Instead, the Phillies had to make do with some quick laughter in the clubhouse provided by costumes the rookies wore on the train to Washington, D.C. as part of some light-hearted hazing.
The Phillies, who clinched the NL East Division title each of the last three years at Citizens Bank Park, lost to the Mets 7-3 in their final, regular-season home game Sunday.
However, while sitting on the train en route to Washington, D.C., the Phillies got word that San Diego lost, which gave the Phillies a postseason berth.
The thought of getting into the postseason is certainly exciting for Northampton graduate Brian Schneider (he's never been there), but he has bigger plans.
"We have other goals in mind right now," the Phils backup catcher said. "We want to win and celebrate for the East, not the wild card."
Philadelphia (93-63) will be forced to try to capture the NL East crown at Nationals Park.
"You'd much rather do it in front of home fans, and that was our focus over the last couple games," said reliever Chad Durbin, who threw a scoreless seventh inning. "Now that's not an option; winning on the road is our only option."
The rookies weren't given an option on Sunday. David Herndon, Vance Worley, Mike Zagurski, Antonio Bastardo, John Mayberry Jr., Dom Brown and Brian Bocock were wearing costumes that had a "Village People" theme.
Worley's busty cop costume was so tight that Brad Lidge and Mike Sweeney had to rip parts of the top just to get one button buttoned. Mayberry, impersonating Lolo Jones, had a towel wrapped around his extremely fitted spandex shorts until the second he walked out the door. Brown, a raunchy cowboy, made light of it and called himself, "The Black Knight."
But nobody could make light of what happened on the field.
For the fourth straight game and fifth time in their last six, the Phillies scored three runs or fewer. They left nine runners on base, including six in scoring position, and were only 2-for-8 with RISP.
On the nine-game homestand, they hit just .128 (6-for-47) with runners in scoring position.
Phillies manager Charlie Manuel is trying to keep his team's recent offensive woes in perspective.
"You can't hit every day," he said. "That's just kind of how it is. I know this: I was a player and there are some days you go up there and the guy, you don't have to give him a lot of credit, but he's still getting you out. It happens. It's the nature of the game."
Hamels strayed from what had become second nature to him.
The left-hander, who was 5-0 with a 0.68 ERA (2 ER, 36 2/3 IP) in his last five starts, made it through just 4-plus innings, his third-shortest outing of the year.
Hamels (12-11) lost for the first time since Aug. 18, which also marked the last time he allowed more than two runs in a game (he gave up five against the Giants that day).
The five earned runs Hamels gave up (in four-plus innings) was more than his last six combined starts when he allowed a total of just four.
"It was just one of those games where I wasn't able to locate, and I wasn't being consistent," Hamels said. "I just threw a few too many pitches out of the zone, and then when I was throwing strikes I left them up and there were able to hit them."
The offense, though, did little to help the cause.
Other than Chase Utley's three-run home run in the fifth, the Phillies were leaving runners on base left and right.
They had the tying run at the plate in the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth innings when the Mets had just a two-run lead, but couldn't get it done.
In the fifth after Utley made it 5-3 with his two-out homer, Ryan Howard doubled. But Jayson Werth, who has one of the worst batting averages with two outs and runners in scoring position, struck out to end the rally.
One inning later, Raul Ibanez was at third with one out, but Wilson Valdez grounded out and pinch hitter Ross Gload was robbed of a hit when Carlos Beltran made a diving catch in center field.
In the seventh, Placido Polanco was at second with two outs, Howard hit a fly ball to left that Nick Evans made a diving catch on.
Werth was at second base with one out in the eighth, but Carlos Ruiz swung at Manny Acosta's first offering and flied out. Jimmy Rollins, who hadn't played since straining his right hamstring on Sept. 8, pinch hit and grounded out on the first pitch he saw to end the inning.
"We didn't do what we were trying to do and what we wanted to do," Ibanez said.
The Mets increased their lead to four when Beltran homered for the second time (this one came off Ryan Madson).
After a 1-2-3 first inning, the Mets went after Hamels. From the second to the fifth innings (he faced one batter in the fifth), the Mets tagged him for nine hits, including two home runs, and walked three times.
The Phillies had won nine consecutive series but lost two of three to the Mets..
DINGERS: The Phillies sold out every regular-season home game and had a total attendance of 3,647,249, which set a single-season club record. They surpassed 3 million in home attendance for the fourth consecutive year and fifth time in seven seasons at Citizens Bank Park. The only other year they reached 3 million was in 1993 at Veterans Stadium when the Phils went to the World Series. … Rollins remained in the game at shortstop and said this about being in Sunday's: "Yes. I'll be playing [Monday]."

We’d prefer the company to be hiring, but are open to the organization creating or making a position for the individual.
This will provide great exposure for the company and their clientele.

Thanks to one of our readers, Bart, for finding this:
David Aldrich
Meteorologist
David Aldrich joined WVLT-TV in Knoxville, TN as Chief Meteorologist in May 2010. David is proud to call Volunteer TV and East Tennessee his new home.
David’s last on-air job was working as the weekend weather anchor for FOX 29 in Philadelphia. For four years, David worked as the weekend weather anchor on “FOX 29 News at Six” and “FOX 29 News at 10″ until October 2009. He also produced and reported weather three days a week on “Good Day Philadelphia” and “FOX 29 News at Noon.”
He holds both the Certified Broadcast Meteorologist (CBM) designation from the American Meteorological Society, which is a professional recognition of the quality of his weather broadcasts, and the National Weather Association’s Seal of Approval. In July 2007, David was also awarded Delaware Today magazine’s Best T.V. Weatherperson (critics choice).
Born and raised in Wilmington, DE, David attended the University of Delaware before transferring to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he received his Bachelor of Arts degree in radio, television and motion pictures in 1992. He then attended North Carolina State University where he received his Bachelor of Science degree in meteorology in 1999.
David left Rochester, N.Y., where he was the morning and noon meteorologist at WHAM-TV 13 since July 2001. He also was the on-air meteorologist for WHAM NewsRadio 1180 AM in Rochester since October 2002.
He was weekend meteorologist at WSAZ-TV 3 in Huntington-Charleston, W.V., from June 1999 to June 2001; and at WNCN-TV 17 in Raleigh, N.C., from April 1999 to June 1999.
Once a member of the Screen Actors’ Guild, David guest starred on an episode of “Matlock,” appeared in the movie “Dead Poets’ Society” as a featured extra, and starred in a Veterans’ Life Insurance commercial with Roger Staubach.
David loves to visit schools and encourage young people to learn about math and science. He lives in Knoxville with his wife Stephanie, two daughters and his yellow lab “Muggy.”

KEITH GROLLER'S NFL PICKS
FROM KEITH GROLLER
Still up here in New Hampshire. Stayed an additional night and will spend most of this Sunday traveling and unable to see any of the NFL games. I'll be seeing red leaves rather than the Red Zone, my favorite channel on Sundays.
One nice thing about getting 360 miles away from the Lehigh Valley this weekend was to be able to escape all of the Michael Vick hoopla. Up here, it's still baseball season and these New Englanders took great delight in the Red Sox beating the Yankees the past two nights and causing some concern in the Bronx.
Even the Pats seem to take second fiddle to baseball. It's a big difference from Philly where everything with the Eagles gets blown way up.
But this change in quarterbacks was way over the top -- even by Eagles standards.
Look, I am over Vick's dogfighting issue -- even though I do love dogs and don't even want to think about what was happening to them.
I hope he's truly learned a lesson and is on his way to living a cleaner life and will be a good citizen.
But I do believe everybody has gone completely nuts over what they saw in one half against Green Bay and against the Lions.
Maybe they are right. Maybe Vick will lead them to where Donovan McNabb couldn't take them and that's to the podium for the awards ceremony during the Super Bowl celebration.
And if that happens, it would be a story for the ages. Definite made-for-TV movies material. But I don't see it happening.
Then again, considering my track record on the NFL picks, that's music to Eagles fans ears.
According to Rico, I am 19-12-1 on over/under totals, 13-16-3 against the spread and a still pathetic 16-16 outright.
Here we go (HOME TEAMS IN CAPS):
NY GIANTS (-3) 30, Tennessee Titans 17 -- Over the over/under of 43.5
NEW ENGLAND (-14.5) 23, Buffalo 10 -- Under the over/under of 42.5
BALTIMORE (-11) 24, Cleveland 14 -- Over the over/under of 37
TAMPA BAY (+2.5) 17, Pittsburgh 13 -- Under the over/under of 33.5
Cincinnati (-3) 23, CAROLINA 10 -- Under the over/under of 38
Atlanta (+3) 28, NEW ORLEANS 24 -- Over the over/under of 49
KC CHIEFS (+3) 20, San Francisco 14 -- Under the over/under of 37
MINNESOTA (-12) 31, Detroit 21 -- Over the over/under of 42.5
Dallas (+2.5) 34, Houston Texans 24 -- Over the over/under of 47
Washington (-4.5) 26, ST. LOUIS 7 -- Under the over/under of 39
Philadelphia (-3) 24, JACKSONVILLE 17 -- Under the over/under of 44.5
Indy Colts (-5.5) 30, DENVER 20 -- Over the over/under of 47.5
Oakland Raiders (2.5) 16, ARIZONA CARDINALS 14 -- Under the over/under of 39.5
Sunday Night Game
MIAMI DOLPHINS (-2.5) 20, New York Jets 14 -- Under the over/under of 35.5
Monday Night Game
CHICAGO BEARS (-3) 27, Chicago Bears 20 -- Over the over/under of 46
Some great matchups. Shame i will only catch them on the highlights.

Phils blow lead, fall to Mets 5-2
FROM THE MORNING CALL
PHILADELPHIA —There will definitely be a lot of scoreboard watching at Citizens Bank Park on Sunday.
The Phillies blew a seventh-inning lead Saturday at home and lost to the Mets 5-2, quashing their 11-game win streak, and forcing them to wait at least one more day to solidify a playoff spot.
To claim the NL East title, the Phillies have to beat the Mets on Sunday and the Braves have to lose to the Nationals. But, Philadelphia (93-62) could guarantee itself of a playoff spot for the fourth year in a row by defeating the Mets. San Diego and San Francisco, in the hunt for the NL West crown, play each other next weekend. Heading into Saturday, each had 87 win with eight to play; However, only one of them can reach 94 wins, and the Phillies' next victory will be their 94th.
Kyle Kendrick had everything going right in the first six innings. He allowed only three base runners, one of whom he picked off and the other two were left stranded on first.
But it got ugly in the seventh. Each of the first five hitters he faced all reach base, including Josh Thole, who had been hitless in his last 12 at-bats. Thole hit an RBI single to bring the Mets within 2-1.
Phillies manager Charlie Manuel then turned the ball over to Chad Durbin, who hadn't pitched in six days.
Durbin gave up a three-run single, which put the Mets ahead 4-2. One out later, Jose Reyes cracked a run-scoring double to make it a three-run game.
Ryan Howard provided the Phillies' only fireworks in the first inning with a two-run home run, his 31st of the season.
After the first, the Phils had just one baserunner reach second base.
DINGERS: Jimmy Rollins is expected to be back in Sunday's starting lineup. The shortstop missed the last 13 games with a strained right hamstring. … Cole Hamels, who is 0-3 with a 1.69 ERA against the Mets this season, will face Pat Misch, who is winless with a 4.13 ERA in eight games (three starts) against the Phillies.

Penn State football team survives scare from Temple
FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Trailing at halftime to Temple, the No. 23 Penn State football team was 30 minutes away from what would have been a historic loss at Happy Valley.
There were no big halftime speeches, and only a couple minor adjustments -- but plenty of emotion coming out of the locker room at the half for the Nittany Lions.
Collin Wagner tied a school record with five field goals, Evan Royster ran for a career-high 187 yards and Penn State's defense dominated the second half in a 22-13 win today against the upstart Owls.
Penn State extended its winning streak against the Owls to 28 games, avoiding its first loss to Temple since 1941. Few have been this tough, especially of late.
Temple (3-1) had been outscored 154-9 in its previous four games with Penn State, but took a 13-6 lead in the first quarter on Bernard Pierce's two touchdown runs. He later left the game with a right ankle injury, and the Owls' offense stalled after halftime.
"We came out with a little more energy, we had something to prove," said Penn State linebacker Nathan Stupar, who had a sack and a 31-yard interception return. "We put our facemasks into people and wanted to play and wanted to dominate and that's what we did."
The swarming blue-and-white D played its finest half of the season and gave the offense enough time to clean up its shoddy work in Temple territory.
The defense shut out Temple after the first quarter and harassed Chester Stewart, who also threw two interceptions to Nick Sukay. Fellow linebackers Michael Mauti and Chris Colasanti each had seven tackles.
The Nittany Lions (3-1) had little trouble moving the ball until they got inside the 40, but Wagner's right leg bailed them out. His 21-yarder with 1:38 left in the third quarter finally gave Penn State a 15-13 lead.
"Just make a couple things go our way and it's a different ballgame in the first half," receiver Brett Brackett said. "So we just decided to keep it cool, and do what we had to do, and I think we did a good job of that in the second half."
Fans at Beaver Stadium breathed a collective sigh after Michael Zordich's 1-yard touchdown run gave Penn State a nine-point lead late in the fourth.
"We really thought we'd be there this year, we thought we'd get to the half. That's one of the keys to playing up here," Temple coach Al Golden said. "Most of the teams that end up getting blown out is because they can't make it to the half."
Golden's turnaround project nearly took a huge step forward in Happy Valley, where he played his college ball and later worked as an assistant coach.
Stewart finished 8 of 19 passing for 46 yards and Pierce finished with 10 carries for 42 yards.
Freshman Rob Bolden was 18 of 28 for 223 yards for Penn State. He looked out of sync at times in the red zone, but made some key completions to help set up Zordich's TD with 3:35 left to cap a 12-play, 96 yard drive.
"For like two quarters there it didn't look like we converted on third down, that was an issue," Golden said. "They made the plays and we didn't in the fourth quarter, it's as simple as that."
Temple outplayed Penn State in the first half, pouncing on mistakes and turnovers, and getting just enough production out of the running game.
"I think they're doing a great job," Paterno said. "Two or three plays, and Temple wins that game."
Pierce, a sophomore touted by Temple as a Heisman Trophy candidate, scored his first TD with 9:06 left, 58 seconds after Royster fumbled at his own 28, to give the Owls a 7-3 lead.
After the second of Wagner's three first-half field goals cut Temple's lead to 7-6, Pierce scored again with 10 seconds left in the first quarter on nearly the exact same play into the same corner of the end zone. A botched hold on the extra-point attempt left the score 13-6.
The Owls arrived in Happy Valley fresh with confidence from a 30-16 victory last week over Connecticut, the school's first victory over a team from a conference with an automatic BCS bid since 2004. That came after last season's 9-4 record and first bowl bid since 1979.
Royster had a breakout game, getting 26 carries after struggling for 110 yards on 31 carries over his first three games.
The Nittany Lions also lost starting right tackle Lou Eliades to a right knee injury.

Orlando's pair of TD catches help UNH whip Lehigh, 31-10
FROM KEITH GROLLER
DURHAM, N.H. — Joey Orlando wouldn't say it was the best game of his college career, but the smile on his face revealed it was at least in the top two.
The former Liberty High School star caught a career-high 10 passes for 81 yards and two touchdowns and was an offensive catalyst for the University of New Hampshire in a 31-10 rout of Lehigh Saturday afternoon that delighted the majority in a Parents Day crowd of 8,144 at Cowell Stadium.
Orlando's father, Bo, an ex-NFL player and member of the Liberty coaching staff, watched his son more than double his 2010 pass-catching total.
The redshirt sophomore, who helped Liberty make back-to-back appearances in the PIAA 4A state finals, came in with six receptions for 81 yards, but was much more active against a Lehigh defense that was burned for more than 350 yards passing for the second straight week.
UNH quarterback R.J. Toman found Orlando for a one-yard TD pass in the first quarter and again for a 14-yard scoring strike in the third. Orlando also had a 20-yard reception in the fourth quarter for a first down that helped the No. 16 ranked Wildcats run out the clock.
"Every week our offense is spread out depending on the coverages we get, but we all know we're going to get the ball at some point," Orlando said. "If the offensive line gives R.J. time to throw, anybody in our offense can have a big day."
Orlando said his performance against Lehigh rivaled his breakout effort last season against Ball State when he caught four passes for 70 yards, including a first career touchdown.
"This one is special, though," he said. "I spend a lot of time over at Lehigh and know some of the guys and the coaches."
New Hampshire features another Lehigh Valley connection in offensive coordinator Tim Cramsey and he knew his offense would be challenged by Lehigh.
"We saw a very good team on tape and a team that played Villanova tough defensively two weeks ago, so we knew we were in for a battle," said Cramsey, the starting quarterback on Central Catholic's 1993 state title team.
"I was just happy for Joey because he has been doing a very good job for us and he had a big game for us in a loss last week to Rhode Island. You always have a little something extra for your hometown team."
While some Lehigh Valley people were happy with what happened here along the New England seacoast, the team that had the long ride back to the Valley on Saturday night was anything but pleased.
Just as was the case two weeks earlier with Villanova, Lehigh knew it would have its hands full with another of the FCS level's elite..
But coach Andy Coen was disgusted with his team's offensive output. The Mountain Hawks (2-2) didn't do nearly enough with three takeaways and a 76-yard kickoff return by John Kennedy.
"New Hampshire presented us with a lot of opportunities and offensively we weren't able to take advantage of any them, except maybe one," Coen said. "You're not going to beat many teams doing the things we did today, especially when you're playing a team with 63 scholarships and you have none. I'm not very happy with our football team."
Michael Colvin, getting his first career start at quarterback in place of injured Chris Lum, struggled with 10 completions in 28 attempts for 69 yards. He was intercepted three times.
Lehigh needed help on their two scores.
A 42-yard Jake Peery field goal came shortly after an Alex Smith punt pinned UNH at its 2. That was followed by a subsequent three-and-out that gave the Mountain Hawks got the ball at the Wildcats 30. Even a six-yard drive got them three points.
After UNH went up 10-3, Lehigh rallied back again with a 40-yard drive set up by Bryan Andrews' fumble recovery. Jay Campbell sliced 11 yards for a touchdown and Peery's kick made it 10-10 less than a minute into the second quarter.
But New Hampshire outscored the visitors 21-0 from there.
The key drive was an 80-yard, 12-play beauty that made it 24-10 just before halftime.
"That was big for them to go up two scores before halftime," Coen said. "It was kind of frenetic out there for both teams, but we definitely should not have been down 24-10. I really got after our guys at halftime."
After Coen's lambasting, the defense allowed just seven more points — six on Orlando's second TD catch — but the offense was held scoreless and managed just 48 total yards after intermission.
"I'm as angry right now as I've probably been in five years," Coen said. "It has nothing to do with effort, but we just have to execute better, especially in games like this."

#Lehigh gameday blog from New Hampshire: Liberty High grad Joey Orlando gets two TD catches in a 31-10 UNH win over Lehigh
FROM KEITH GROLLER
2:42 p.m.
It's a 31-10 win for New Hampshire over Lehigh. Lehigh's defense gave it some chances to keep things interesting and the offense did nothing with those opportunities. Plenty to work on in the bye week on both sides of the ball and the key is to get Chris Lum healthy and in sync as the quarterback. The defense has some work as well, especially defending the pass.
2:35 p.m.
New Hampshire has pulled the starters and is looking to run out the clock. About four minutes is now left and this is going to end up as a day of disappointment for Lehigh. But I am glad I am here to see a local kid like Joey Orlando have a career day. Good kid. Lehigh, like the rest of the Patriot League, is just overmatched against these scholarship powers from the Colonial. If you care about competing at a high level, you have to give scholarships to give these teams a chance.
2:27 p.m.
Another Colvin interception at the UNH 1 ended a mini-Lehigh threat. Joey Orlando just caught another pass and the Bethlehem boy has had a career day. It's UNH 31-10 with 9:30 left and it's play-out-the-string time. No. 1 objective for Mountain Hawks now is to get out of here without any more injuries.
2:03 p.m.
John Veniero picks off a UNH pass for the Lehigh defense's third takeaway of the day and the Mountain Hawks have the ball at the UNH 35. It has been a long time since the offense has done anything positive. And that trend continues as Colvin is intercepted inside the UNH 5.
1:58 p.m.
What a day for Liberty graduate Joey Orlando. He just hauled in a 14-yd TD pass for his second TD catch of the day. He had just six catches coming in and has six today so far. We'll be talking to the former Hurricane after the game, that's for sure.
1:53 p.m.
Lehigh stops UNH on fourth down of its first second-half possession, but can't get a first down on its initial possession in the third quarter. A bad punt against the wind gives the Wildcats the ball at its own 40 and they are on the move again with a big pass completion that carries inside the Lehigh 20.
1:41 p.m.
Ready to start the second half and Lehigh will get the ball first. As I suspected, UNH dominated the stats with 292 first half yards to 86 for Lehigh. Mountain Hawks completed just 4 of 13 passes for 45 yards. LU has carried the ball 14 times for 41 yards.
Again, only the two turnovers and the 76-yard kick return by John Kennedy has it this close.
1:19 p.m.
It's halftime here in Durham, NH, and game is going pretty much expected with New Hampshire dominating and leading 24-10. A couple of turnovers by the defense and a big kickoff return by John Kennedy helped out the Mountain Hawks offense, but this is a one-sided affair. Don't have the halftime stats yet, but my guess is that UNH has a 3 to 1 edge in total offense on Lehigh. It could be even more lopsided.
Smart move by coach Andy Coen not to play Chris Lum today and to let Mike Colvin show what he can do. With a a bye week coming, good to let Lum get totally healthy for more important games later in the season.
1:13 p.m.
New Hampshire offense taking charge of this game. Dontra Peters followed Toman's scramble with a 14-yard TD run and it's now UNH 24-10 with 1:04 left in the first half and Lehigh's defense has no answers for the Wildcat offense.
1:09 p.m.
Northampton grad Billy Boyko just came up with a sack, but UNH has come right down the field and had a first down at the Lehigh 25. Mountain Hawks need a stop here -- and don't get it. R.J. Toman eluded the pass rush and gets 10-yard gain to convert on third down.
1:00 p.m.
Lehigh's Bryan Andrew intercepts a UNH pass and a nice return puts Lehigh in business at the Wildcat 40. Mountain Hawks earning enough breaks to keep this competitive.
12:56 p.m.
Game starting to unravel fast for Lehigh. Colvin just made the kind of mistake you fear from a sophomore quarterback getting his first career start. His underthrown pass was picked off by UNH's Dino Vasso and the Wildcats got the ball back at the Lehigh 35. Still 17-10, 8 minutes left in the first half.
12:50 p.m.
UNH came right back down the field, and overcame an illegal block penalty to re-take the lead. The go-ahead score came on a 21-yard TD pass from R.J. Toman to Terrance Fox. With the PAT kick, it's now 17-10 UNH with 10:07 left in the first half. UNH offense may be too much for Lehigh defense, at least when the defense can't get turnovers.
12:41 p.m.
Lehigh got a lucky bounce and left guard Keith Schauder recovered a fumble to keep possession for the Mountain Hawks and they were able to take advantage of their good fortune to get a tying touchdown. Jay Campbell burst up the middle for an 11-yard TD run and the PAT makes it 10-10 with 14:04 left in the first half.
12:37 p.m.
Some power/computer issues knocked me offline for much of the first quarter and it was an entertaining one here at Mooradian Field. The teams exchanged field goals and UNH took the lead on a 1-yard TD pass to Liberty grad Joey Orlando, his first of the season. That was set up by a 51-yard pass.
Lehigh missed a long field goal, but a UNH fumble hass Lehigh in business at the UNH 22.
First quarter ended with UNH on top 10-3.
12:01 p.m.
Starting right on time here at the University of New Hampshire. UNH has the ball first. Beautiful day, much warmer than expected for Sept. 25.

2:42 p.m.
It's a 31-10 win for New Hampshire over Lehigh. Lehigh's defense gave it some chances to keep things interesting and the offense did nothing with those opportunities. Plenty to work on in the bye week on both sides of the ball and the key is to get Chris Lum healthy and in sync as the quarterback. The defense has some work as well, especially defending the pass.
2:35 p.m.
New Hampshire has pulled the starters and is looking to run out the clock. About four minutes is now left and this is going to end up as a day of disappointment for Lehigh. But I am glad I am here to see a local kid like Joey Orlando have a career day. Good kid. Lehigh, like the rest of the Patriot League, is just overmatched against these scholarship powers from the Colonial. If you care about competing at a high level, you have to give scholarships to give these teams a chance.
2:27 p.m.
Another Colvin interception at the UNH 1 ended a mini-Lehigh threat. Joey Orlando just caught another pass and the Bethlehem boy has had a career day. It's UNH 31-10 with 9:30 left and it's play-out-the-string time. No. 1 objective for Mountain Hawks now is to get out of here without any more injuries.
2:03 p.m.
John Veniero picks off a UNH pass for the Lehigh defense's third takeaway of the day and the Mountain Hawks have the ball at the UNH 35. It has been a long time since the offense has done anything positive. And that trend continues as Colvin is intercepted inside the UNH 5.
1:58 p.m.
What a day for Liberty graduate Joey Orlando. He just hauled in a 14-yd TD pass for his second TD catch of the day. He had just six catches coming in and has six today so far. We'll be talking to the former Hurricane after the game, that's for sure.
1:53 p.m.
Lehigh stops UNH on fourth down of its first second-half possession, but can't get a first down on its initial possession in the third quarter. A bad punt against the wind gives the Wildcats the ball at its own 40 and they are on the move again with a big pass completion that carries inside the Lehigh 20.
1:41 p.m.
Ready to start the second half and Lehigh will get the ball first. As I suspected, UNH dominated the stats with 292 first half yards to 86 for Lehigh. Mountain Hawks completed just 4 of 13 passes for 45 yards. LU has carried the ball 14 times for 41 yards.
Again, only the two turnovers and the 76-yard kick return by John Kennedy has it this close.

Late drive, pick-off carry Emmaus
FROM THE MORNING CALL
The Freedom punt backed up Emmaus to its 8-yard line.
An illegal substitution penalty before the Green Hornets ran their first play cost them even more yardage.
"I thought 'We're going to shoot ourselves in the foot right here and let this game slip away,' " admitted Emmaus coach Joe Bottiglieri, whose team was deadlock with the Patriots with eight minutes left in regulation.
Instead, the Green Hornets went on a masterful 12-play, 6:11 scoring drive, and their ball-hawking defense later came up with a game-saving interception in the final seconds to preserve a key 20-14 Lehigh Valley Conference win before a small crowd at BASD Stadium
"All those things go through your mind, but I never lose faith in the kids," added Bottiglieri, whose team shook off the post-Parkland hangover to improve to 3-1 overall (2-1 in the LVC). "That's two weeks in a row on offense they've come through — last week against Parkland an 80-yard drive [for the winning score], and now tonight."
"We just stayed focused and put together a great drive," said senior Brian Velasco, who scored Emmaus' first two touchdowns (one on a 39-yard interception return) and also knocked down a pass in the back of the end zone on the play before sophomore Andrew Brown's final interception with seven seconds left. "It's got to be one of the best drives we've put together all year."
It began with a jaunt to the 30-yard line by senior Joe Williams, who continues to assert himself after sitting out the season-opener for disciplinary reasons. Williams, who finished with 112 yards, was one of four Hornets to carry the ball on the drive, including Velasco who got 10 of his 62 yards on a critical third-and-8 play to keep the drive going. Williams later converted another third down (Emmaus was 8-for-14 on third downs in the game) to the Freedom 15, and after quarterback Nate Fick juked his way to the 3 on the next play, Williams capped the drive with 1:56 left.
"I turned to my offensive coordinator when we got down there and said we didn't have to get it in right away, because I wanted to eat up more clock. Then Joe scores on the next play," Bottiglieri said with a smile.
That nearly gave Freedom (2-2, 1-2) enough time to steal the win after Emmaus' Taylor Millheim twice was wide left on the extra point (she got the second chance on a roughing the kicker penalty). Lukas Giovarelli completed four passes to drive the Patriots from their 32 to a first down at the Emmaus 23 with 26 seconds left. After a shovel pass was broken up, Giovarelli went for Eddie Elliott in the back of the end zone, but Velasco was there to knock away the ball.
Brown came up with the interception at the 2 on the next play, and Fick ran once into the line to run out the clock. It was Emmaus' third pick of the day, with Derrick Watkins coming up with the other on fourth down at the Emmaus 20 late in the first half.
The three interceptions give Emmaus 10 for the season to go with three fumble recoveries, and the Green Hornets are a plus-10 through four games in the takeaway department.
"You look at our linebackers and secondary, and there's a lot of kids who started or played a lot last year," Bottiglieri said. "Where we were concerned was if we'd be able to match up front with some of the other LVC teams, and so far the kids are holding up [although] we've got to do a better job at stopping the run."
Emmaus did that in the second half Friday. Elliott had 60 yards on 13 carries at the break, and Freedom scored twice on two short drives set up by kickoff returns of 34 and 38 yards by Frank Bucsi. But the Patriots had just 24 rushing yards and 65 total yards in the second half, and 45 of them came on the Patriots final drive.
"We've got to get more consistent," Freedom coach Jason Roeder said. "Give them credit; they put together a great drive at the end. But we've got to be tougher in the fourth quarter."
Velasco helped the Hornets control the clock by picking up first downs on five of his 10 carries, along with a 2-yard TD run.
"Brian is a heck of a player, and the thing that's deceiving with him is that he's faster than people think," Bottiglieri said. "He's very quick and explosive. He just hasn't gotten the chance to show that much."
Bottiglieri spent the week preaching to his team to forget about last week's rare and emotional win over Parkland and focus on Freedom, but the Hornets still seemed to have somewhat of a Trojan hangover in the opening quarter.
"We said, 'We beat Parkland for our second win, and all it meant was that we weren't going to be 1-9,' " Bottiglieri said.

KEITH GROLLER'S PICKS
FROM KEITH GROLLER
It's probably the best slate of high school football so far this season, and unfortunately, I am going to miss it.
My primary fall beat is Lehigh University football and I am headed to New Hampshire for the Mountain Hawks' game against the Wildcats on Saturday.
In another era, I might have flown up to the game on Saturday morning and not missed local Friday night football.
But instead, I will be driving, and that means I will be spending all day Friday driving up through New York state and New England to get to the Granite State for Saturday's noon kickoff.
Not looking forward to the drive, generously estimated at 6.5 hours, but I am looking forward to seeing former Central Catholic quarterback Tim Cramsey, who is the offensive coordinator at New Hampshire, which is the No. 16 ranked FCS team in the country. We also have former Liberty standout Joey Orlando and ex-Freedom star Mike Coccia up there and I hope to catch up with them as well during my stay.
I do hope Lehigh can keep the game competitive, but I have my doubts.
Patriot League schools don't fare well against scholarship schools and UNH is a well-established, consistently strong FCS program. Remember what Villanova did to Lehigh two weeks ago? This one could be just as one-sided.
I am looking forward to experiencing a new state. Never been this far north. New Hampshire always is romanticized during the presidential primary every four years. We'll see if it has the charm the political analysts say it has.
Speaking of analysis, mine was a little faulty last week. After getting just nine wrong, total, in the first two weeks, I struggled through a 17-11 week. That dropped my overall record to 61-20 (75.3 percent).
So far, my main man Andy "The Weave" Weaver is 1-0 with his Nazareth picks. He was the toast of the town after nailing that Blue Eagles win over Liberty last week and he's going with a 37-0 win over Allen this week for his buds.
Now, for my picks (home teams in CAPS):
COLONIAL LEAGUE
SAUCON VALLEY 20, Palmerton 14 -- Panthers haven't won a game yet, but they have played a brutal schedule.
BANGOR 42, Notre Dame 6 -- Crusaders are allowing Bethlehem Catholic to use their stadium this week. They probably wish they could share players as well. Right about now, many Notre Dame alums start thinking about the start of basketball season where their school has much more success. ND has been outscored 140-14 so far in three games and those numbers will definitely grow more lopsided, even if Scott LaValva isn't playing for the Slaters.
Catasauqua 28, SALISBURY 7 -- Catty boys basketball coach Eric Snyder will soon be celebrating a National League Central title soon for Cincinnati, which of course, has this Cardinals fan a bit red-faced. Talk about an underachieving squad.
Northern Lehigh 49, PALISADES 6 -- I'm pulling for things to get better for new Pirates coach Jim Brady. He has done a wonderful thing for my buddy Andre Williams while Dre recovers from his stroke suffered back in the spring. I doubt the purple will rise up this week. Maybe next week against Palmerton.
Southern Lehigh 20, NORTHWESTERN 12 -- Should be a competitive game in New Tripoli. Spartans defense made a believer out of me after how it shut down Bangor last week.
Wilson 49, PEN ARGYL 34 -- If you like offensive football, this is probably your game of the weekend.
LEHIGH VALLEY CONFERENCE
BETHLEHEM CATHOLIC 28, Dieruff 7 -- The Huskies and Golden Hawks are playing this one at a Colonial League venue (Notre Dame) and there are a lot of people who think Dieruff should be playing Colonial League competition since the Huskies remain completely overmatched in the LVC.
Emmaus 20, FREEDOM 13 -- One of several tossups in the LVC this weekend. I was impressed with the Green Hornets defense against Parkland, but wonder about a letdown after an emotional win over their rivals.
Liberty 28, WHITEHALL 20 -- The great unknown here is the health of Zephyrs QB Chris Polony. Even if he goes, Dante Holmes, one of the area's best defensive linemen, may have him on the run. And whether Polony plays or not, the Hurricanes have proven they can at least score. It will be interesting to see how Liberty and a new coaching staff responds after the disappointment at Nazareth.
Easton 28, PARKLAND 14 -- The Red Rovers seem to have the Trojans number just about every year. This year, they have a great offensive line and a dynamic QB in Justin Pacchioli. Maybe Matt Senneca, a new member of the Parkland staff, can change Parkland's fortunes. He certainly saw a lot of Easton while at Liberty.
Nazareth 42, ALLEN 18 -- Weave and I are on the same page here. The Blue Eagles are for real. But the Canaries are talented enough to at least score some points.
CENTRAL CATHOLIC 48, Northampton 14 -- Friendship between coaches Harold Fairclough and Bob Steckel is well documented. They coached against each other in the McDonald's All-Star Game in June, too. That ended in a tie. This one won't be nearly as close.
MOUNTAIN VALLEY CONFERENCE
POCONO MOUNTAIN EAST 27, Stroudsburg 14 -- I feel bad about what happened to Fred Ross. I am hoping the Mounties will rally around him and try to send him out with a bunch of wins. But I don't see it happening here against the explosive Cardinals.
East Stroudsburg South 33, POCONO MT. WEST 13 -- The Cavaliers seem capable of getting on a roll and back in the District 11 playoff hunt.
PLEASANT VALLEY 28, Lehighton 19 -- Nice to chat with Lehighton coach George Ebbert for a little feature in our Friday paper. But just like Jim Thorpe last week, I fear the Groller Jinx could be at work here.
OTHERS
CRESTWOOD 19, East Stroudsburg North 14 -- Looks like a competitive game between 2-1 teams.
JIM THORPE 34, Panther Valley 7 -- Nice rebound week for the Olympians after that brutal visit to North Schuylkill.
MARIAN CATHOLIC 42, Pius X 20 -- Feel bad for Royals' first-year coach Phil Stambaugh. You can't win if you can't stop anybody.
DOWNINGTOWN WEST 27, Quakertown 19 -- The third of four straight road games for the Panthers.
Pennridge 34, LANSDALE CATHOLIC 20 -- Scoring 34 points is not a problem for these Rams. For my Rams in St. Louis, 34 points is a month's worth of games.
UPPER PERK 27, Pottstown 20 --I was impressed with what I saw from the Pottstown offense at Pius X in Week 1, but wonder if they've corrected their fumbling issues.
Wyomissing 34, KUTZTOWN 13 -- I believe Wyomissing was once the hometown of country/pop singer and Morning Call fave Taylor Swift. Sweet girl, talented songwriter, but a mediocre singer who needs Disney-packaging to sound good.
Mahanoy Area 40, TAMAQUA 19 -- Congrats to the newest members of the Tamaqua Hall of Fame who will be saluted before the start of this one -- the late Howard Walker (a member of the class of 1923), the late Sidney "Soup" McMichael (1929); Wayne Truskey (1967); Trevor Steigerwalt (1991); Joelle Evanousky LeMasters (2000); Matt Benza (2001) and coaches, the late Jim Freed and Eric Zerbe.
Phillipsburg 28, FRANKLIN 21 -- This is a pretty big matchup in Jersey, but I never go against Stemmy.
Enjoy the games. I will be checking in once I get to New Hampshire.

So far, my main man Andy "The Weave" Weaver is 1-0 with his Nazareth picks. He was the toast of the town after nailing that Blue Eagles win over Liberty last week and he's going with a 37-0 win over Allen this week for his buds.
Now, for my picks (home teams in CAPS):
COLONIAL LEAGUE
SAUCON VALLEY 20, Palmerton 14 -- Panthers haven't won a game yet, but they have played a brutal schedule.
BANGOR 42, Notre Dame 6 -- Crusaders are allowing Bethlehem Catholic to use their stadium this week. They probably wish they could share players as well. Right about now, many Notre Dame alums start thinking about the start of basketball season where their school has much more success. ND has been outscored 140-14 so far in three games and those numbers will definitely grow more lopsided, even if Scott LaValva isn't playing for the Slaters.
Catasauqua 28, SALISBURY 7 -- Catty boys basketball coach Eric Snyder will soon be celebrating a National League Central title soon for Cincinnati, which of course, has this Cardinals fan a bit red-faced. Talk about an underachieving squad.
Northern Lehigh 49, PALISADES 6 -- I'm pulling for things to get better for new Pirates coach Jim Brady. He has done a wonderful thing for my buddy Andre Williams while Dre recovers from his stroke suffered back in the spring. I doubt the purple will rise up this week. Maybe next week against Palmerton.
Southern Lehigh 20, NORTHWESTERN 12 -- Should be a competitive game in New Tripoli. Spartans defense made a believer out of me after how it shut down Bangor last week.
Wilson 49, PEN ARGYL 34 -- If you like offensive football, this is probably your game of the weekend.
LEHIGH VALLEY CONFERENCE
BETHLEHEM CATHOLIC 28, Dieruff 7 -- The Huskies and Golden Hawks are playing this one at a Colonial League venue (Notre Dame) and there are a lot of people who think Dieruff should be playing Colonial League competition since the Huskies remain completely overmatched in the LVC.
Emmaus 20, FREEDOM 13 -- One of several tossups in the LVC this weekend. I was impressed with the Green Hornets defense against Parkland, but wonder about a letdown after an emotional win over their rivals.
Liberty 28, WHITEHALL 20 -- The great unknown here is the health of Zephyrs QB Chris Polony. Even if he goes, Dante Holmes, one of the area's best defensive linemen, may have him on the run. And whether Polony plays or not, the Hurricanes have proven they can at least score. It will be interesting to see how Liberty and a new coaching staff responds after the disappointment at Nazareth.
Easton 28, PARKLAND 14 -- The Red Rovers seem to have the Trojans number just about every year. This year, they have a great offensive line and a dynamic QB in Justin Pacchioli. Maybe Matt Senneca, a new member of the Parkland staff, can change Parkland's fortunes. He certainly saw a lot of Easton while at Liberty.
Nazareth 42, ALLEN 18 -- Weave and I are on the same page here. The Blue Eagles are for real. But the Canaries are talented enough to at least score some points.
CENTRAL CATHOLIC 48, Northampton 14 -- Friendship between coaches Harold Fairclough and Bob Steckel is well documented. They coached against each other in the McDonald's All-Star Game in June, too. That ended in a tie. This one won't be nearly as close.
MOUNTAIN VALLEY CONFERENCE
POCONO MOUNTAIN EAST 27, Stroudsburg 14 -- I feel bad about what happened to Fred Ross. I am hoping the Mounties will rally around him and try to send him out with a bunch of wins. But I don't see it happening here against the explosive Cardinals.
East Stroudsburg South 33, POCONO MT. WEST 13 -- The Cavaliers seem capable of getting on a roll and back in the District 11 playoff hunt.
PLEASANT VALLEY 28, Lehighton 19 -- Nice to chat with Lehighton coach George Ebbert for a little feature in our Friday paper. But just like Jim Thorpe last week, I fear the Groller Jinx could be at work here.
OTHERS
CRESTWOOD 19, East Stroudsburg North 14 -- Looks like a competitive game between 2-1 teams.
JIM THORPE 34, Panther Valley 7 -- Nice rebound week for the Olympians after that brutal visit to North Schuylkill.
MARIAN CATHOLIC 42, Pius X 20 -- Feel bad for Royals' first-year coach Phil Stambaugh. You can't win if you can't stop anybody.
DOWNINGTOWN WEST 27, Quakertown 19 -- The third of four straight road games for the Panthers.
Pennridge 34, LANSDALE CATHOLIC 20 -- Scoring 34 points is not a problem for these Rams. For my Rams in St. Louis, 34 points is a month's worth of games.
UPPER PERK 27, Pottstown 20 --I was impressed with what I saw from the Pottstown offense at Pius X in Week 1, but wonder if they've corrected their fumbling issues.
Wyomissing 34, KUTZTOWN 13 -- I believe Wyomissing was once the hometown of country/pop singer and Morning Call fave Taylor Swift. Sweet girl, talented songwriter, but a mediocre singer who needs Disney-packaging to sound good.
Mahanoy Area 40, TAMAQUA 19 -- Congrats to the newest members of the Tamaqua Hall of Fame who will be saluted before the start of this one -- the late Howard Walker (a member of the class of 1923), the late Sidney "Soup" McMichael (1929); Wayne Truskey (1967); Trevor Steigerwalt (1991); Joelle Evanousky LeMasters (2000); Matt Benza (2001) and coaches, the late Jim Freed and Eric Zerbe.
Phillipsburg 28, FRANKLIN 21 -- This is a pretty big matchup in Jersey, but I never go against Stemmy.
Enjoy the games. I will be checking in once I get to New Hampshire.
