Levittown: On the road in Levittown, the Redskins were looking to right the ship after last weeks nick at the hands of CR South. Standing in their way, though, was an always tough Harry S. Truman Tigers group. In fact, a squad that should never be taken lightly, the Tigers have shown plenty of moxy and fight all year as they carved out a 2-5 record despite some very big obstacles. And having now played Truman year-in and year-out since the merger of Woodrow Wilson and Delhaas in the early 80s, Neshaminy knows that the Tigers are never lacking for both talent and determination. With that said, let's get to it.

Winning the toss, the Tribe received the opening kick and after starting on their 35 it took but two plays for Sean Ulmer to travel the 65 yards on a pair of carries. With Sean Sheridan's PAT on the money, it was 7-0 for the Blue & Red in just under a minute. But showing they always bring their A game, it was the Tigers tying it up not too much longer after that as their option attack proved very effective. With the fast first-quarter then ending, it was all knotted up at seven a piece.

The 'Skins did first damage in the second-quarter as a nice Neshaminy drive ended with Ulmer punching it in on a short one to make it 14-7 following Sheridan's extra point. Then after trading some possessions, it was Anthony Woodroffe finishing a drive to put the Skins up 21-7. Not mailing it in, though, the Tigers didn't stop punching and late in the second a nice pass by the Truman quarterback found its mark as they pulled within eight. Going for two after being pushed back on a penalty, the hosts came up short and as the teams broke for the half it was Neshaminy on top, 21-13.

Back on the field after the break the Tigers took the kick and after a few moves down the field were forced to punt. Following the exchange, it was the Schmidtmen then starting it off on their end of the field. And although looking a bit sloppy at first, Dwight Williams made a nice grab of a Charlie Marterella pass, followed up by a catch by Justin Andrews that saw the ball moved down in close to the goal line. From there it was Woodroffe taking it across. With the Sheridan PAT true, the score then rolled to 28-13.

Following the Langhorne kickoff, and some offensive handling by the Tigers that failed to earn much yardage, it was the 'Skins with the ball once again. Not wasting much time, the Tribe was able to motor right down the field as Ulmer took another carry into the end zone for the score. With Sheridan seemingly perfect, the PAT was good and the score went to 35-13 as the third-quarter ended.

Rolling into the final period, some new players were seen on the field as the two clubs continued to look for opportunities and scores. And the first to find both of them was the Tigers as some nifty footwork by their backs saw them punch one in to make it 35-19. But the try for two missed and that's how it stood as they gave it back to Neshaminy in the form of an onsides kick that the 'Skins fell on at mid-field. From there it was just a matter of time before the gun sounded the end of the fourth as the 'Skins final possession saw them take a knee down close.

And so we're happy to report: Game to 'Skins!

Now standing at 7-1, the Redskins are back home next week as they entertain the always tough Panthers of William Tennent. Plus with playoff placement front and center for teams all over the Delaware Valley and District One at this time of the year, it's a sure bet that the Warminster club will bring its best to Heartbreak Ridge. And knowing Coach Schmidt and the boys will be working hard all week to get ready, were sure Harry's House will be packed for this one.

See you at the game.
