Fooskas leads ground charge as Haven runs past Penncrest
Strath Haven’s running game was in vintage form Friday night and too much for Penncrest in the Media Bowl.
With Bob Fooskas leading the way the Panthers used their vaunted Wing-T attack to roll to a 42-6 victory over the Lions at George L. King Field.
Fooskas scored three times, including touchdown runs of 23 and 16 yards to cap two long scoring drives on Strath Haven’s first two possessions in the first quarter.
He had over 100 yards on his first five carries in the game. Fooskas added an 11yard TD run with 1:51 left in the second quarter to extend Strath Haven’s lead to 35-0. Fooskas came into the game with one touchdown.
Chase Barlow and Nate Harrington also scored on the ground to help the Panthers (7-1 overall, 6-1 Central League) extend their winning streak to three games.
After Aiden Sutherland pulled in a 15-yard TD pass from Sam Milligan, Barlow scored on a seven-yard run to give Strath Haven a 28-0 lead. It was Barlow’s 14th rushing touchdown of the season.
Harrington raced 29 yards to paydirt to close out the scoring for the Panthers.
Matt Ferry and Nick Chelo teamed up to spoil the shutout bid. Ferry pulled in a 15yard scoring pass from Chelo with 4:19 to go in the third quarter to get the Lions (1-7, 1-5) on the board.
Strath Haven closes out the home portion of its schedule next Friday night against Lower Merion. Penncrest takes on Ridley at home next week.
