LANGHORNE: As pink was the color of the night at “Heartbreak Ridge” there was no doubt that 2016’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month was well underway. First organized by The American Cancer Society in 1985 every October since has seen a national focus on working to both understand and defeat this pervasive disease. And doing their part with the fight, several Neshaminy N Club members started the evening off with the group’s presentation of an oversized check and donation of more than $1,300.00.

But getting back to the business at hand, tonight saw the ‘Skins entertaining Council Rock South in an SOL contest. And after winning the toss, Neshaminy took the opportunity and elected to receive. Looking sharp from the start, the Redskins’ offense went the distance with Will Dogba going in from the 19 for the first points of the game.

Following the kickoff to South Jacob Gordon’s interception of a G-Hawk pass soon had the ball back to Neshaminy. Then quickly scoring again, Langhorne saw that drive’s touchdown courtesy of a six-yard pass from Mason Jones to Zach Tredway. Plus with Dylan McDonald’s two PATs on the money the ‘Skins had a 14-0 lead.

Not folding up, though, the Golden Hawks immediately stitched together a nice offensive effort of their own which saw them reach the ‘Skins five; however, that’s where both the first-quarter and the visitor’s threat ended on Mike Garlick’s fourth-and-goal sack of the scrambling South quarterback.

The second session then looked like a mirror of the first with Neshaminy’s initial effort of that period ending on an 11-yard Jones to Tredway touchdown producing aerial. Then on the ensuing South series a rough snap saw the punt effort botched as Dogba soon capped off a short-field for Neshaminy with a two-yard dive for the touchdown. And as McDonald’s leg never misses the scoreboard read 28-0 with four minutes until the half.

Shining all night it was Gordon then once again stopping a Golden Hawk drive when he pilfered an enemy pass at their 28. And showing off his moves, he also took the rock all the way to the endzone to lift the Wilmotmen’s margin to 35-0 at the half.

Back on the field after the break, the running clock made the second-half a blur for the teams. Still, a third-quarter South TD, after a fumble by Neshaminy put them in good position and then Mike Crescenzo’s fourth-quarter jaunt for six, served to punctuate the final periods with Matt Leonhauser’s PAT making it 42-7 in Neshaminy’s favor.

With the wide lead then allowing a rest for the ‘Skins’ starters, an opportunity was presented for the “stars-in-waiting” to stretch their legs. Making the most of it, the Hebron brothers, Savaughn and Savion, led Langhorne’s final ball control drive as they chewed up chunks of yardage. Reaching the one-yard stripe coach Wilmot then ordered the “O” to take a knee and let the clock run down to zero.

Good effort by Neshaminy’s players tonight and thank you South for bringing your all.

Finally, and although we don’t need to remind anyone, next week is the final game of the regular season. A home contest too, Neshaminy’s “guest” will be longtime next-door neighbor and rival, Pennsbury. So with that said we’ll end with just this: Get to “The Ridge” early as Harry’s House will be jam packed for this one!

Good Night Mrs. B!
