The 50 Yardline – Lower Merion
October 15, 2024
By Brian Carroll, Havenfootball.net
In watching the 2024 high school football season take shape, momentum can play a significant role in a team’s success. Whether momentum is gained within a game thanks to a big play or two, or gained week-to-week as a result of a winning streak, confidence, individually and as a team can be as impactful as the “X’s and O’s” of football. This weekend, with the Strath Haven Panthers on an eight-game winning streak to start 2024, and the Lower Merion Aces coming off its first big win of the season, both teams will look to keep that momentum going as the District 1 playoffs approach.
Head Coach Joe Augustine has the Aces flying high after grabbing a thrilling, 40-38 barnburner of a victory over Conestoga a week ago. Junior quarterback #10 Nick DeLuca leads a spread offense that typically relies on the pass, but Lower Merion kept it on the ground in their first victory of the season. DeLuca rushed for two touchdowns, while running backs #3 Andrew Payne (147 yards, TD) and #23 Shane Hermosisima (143 yards, 2 TDs), wore down the Conestoga defense. #71 Kechan Miller, normally a two-way lineman, also found the end zone in a short-yardage set. When the Aces take to the air, #9 CJ Morgan, #11 Thomas Burke, and #14 Chris Cook are favorite targets. Defensively, Lower Merion have struggled for much of the season, but Miller and #55 Charles Welgs (fumble recovery last week) are playmakers up front, while Morgan, Payne, and Hermosisima anchor the linebacking corps.

Football Friday (Thursday this week)
October 10, 2024
By Matt Smith
The Central League features a full slate of matchups Thursday night.
Garnet Valley, Haverford, and Springfield are all vying to keep pace with first-place Strath Haven, which has easier matchups against winless Harriton and Lower Merion before ending the regular season against Springfield. Garnet Valley and Springfield will face off next Friday, potentially leading to another three-way tie for the Central League title, similar to last season’s shared championship between Garnet Valley, Marple Newtown, and Springfield.

The 50 Yardline – Harriton
October 08, 2024
By Brian Carroll
With just three games remaining in the 2024 high school football regular season, the temptation for Strath Haven Panther fans will be to look well ahead on the upcoming schedule. An undefeated start to the season for Strath Haven has provided that excitement and luxury, as the Panthers are guaranteed a spot in the play-offs and have their eyes on defending their Central League (2022 and 2023) and District 1 5A (2023) titles. Still, hurdles still appear on the road to a potential championship, and the Panthers cannot afford to look past the Harriton Rams, who visit Haven this Thursday night.
Harriton returns to the Central League after a two-year hiatus, as they played an independent schedule in 2022 and 2023. The Rams managed much improved 4-6 and 5-5 records over those two seasons but have struggled to maintain that progress thus far in 2024. First-year Head Coach Mario Dattilo takes over with a young and inexperienced roster, but one that has improved as the season has progressed. After being shut out in their first three contests, the Rams have found the end zone in each of the last four games, with quarterbacks #12 Spyros Esposito and #2 Joe Mena distributing the ball amongst a handful of receivers in Hariton’s spread attack. #1 Marcus Bates had a pair of long receptions in last week’s loss to Ridley, while #18 Colin Sullivan and #7 Finn McCloud provided a spark, as well. #5 Musyn Dennis is a running and receiving threat from the slot, hauling in a 39-yard score two weeks ago against Conestoga.
