    NW’s Sukanick has career game | Times News Online (opens the original)

    It’s no secret that Northwestern boasts a number of talented players. And because of how successful they have been — jumping on teams early and often reaching the mercy rule by halftime — those players rarely get to showcase their skills for a full game. Take for instance, starting running back Chase Sukanick. In the two games prior to last Friday’s contest against Saucon Valley, the junior managed a total of just eight carries. Against the Panthers, however, certain circumstances allowed Sukani

    Contrary to popular belief, Northwestern’s football team is human. While many have become accustomed to flawless play from the Tigers and have put the New Tripoli team on a pedestal, the reality is that even great teams make mistakes sometimes. On Friday night, Josh Snyder’s squad committed three turnovers in the opening half — one a fumble right before a possible touchdown and another an interception in the end zone that killed another scoring threat — that allowed visiting Saucon Valley to han

    Anyone in their mid-30s or older can likely recall exactly where they were when they heard about the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. Current high school students, though, weren’t even born yet when the disasters took place in New York, Washington D.C. and Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Less than two weeks ago, the nation reflected on the 25th anniversary of the unfortunate happenings that day. And while teenagers didn’t live through the fears and anxious feelings that many were going through at

    NL’s Smoyer is a dual threat | Times News Online (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Northern Lehigh’s Garrett Smoyer is definitely a dual threat behind center. The Bulldog quarterback, who has been a starter since his freshman season, proved that against Pen Argyl last Friday night. While the senior signal-caller impressed with his legs, running for 114 yards including an impressive 62-yard scoring run, Smoyer identifies more as a traditional QB. “I prefer to throw, still. I’m a true quarterback,” said Smoyer. “I love throwing touchdowns, and there’s nothing better than that.”

    Defending Northern Lehigh’s Garrett Smoyer can often be a nightmare. The quarterback for the Bulldogs can throw with accuracy to a number of his teammates, but he also has the ability to run when the situation presents itself. On Friday, the senior signal-caller did both against visiting Pen Argyl to lead his team to a convincing 46-6 victory. Smoyer threw four touchdown passes, two of them to Colin Karestky, and also gained double-digit yardage five times on the ground, including a long scoring
