North Pocono\u2019s perfect season continued into the playoffs.<\/p>\n
The top-seeded Trojans scored the first four touchdowns on Friday night en route to a 42-21 win over Crestwood in the District 2 Class 4A semifinals.<\/p>\n
No. 4 Crestwood didn\u2019t pack things away despite trailing 28-0 in the third quarter. Nate Walsh gave the Comets a spark with a 36-yard touchdown run and then followed that up with a 30-yard run to cut the deficit in half.<\/p>\n
But North Pocono was unfazed, answering Walsh\u2019s scores with a 70-yard burst to the end zone to take control of the game once again.<\/p>\n
All six Trojans touchdowns came on the ground with Josiah Gray, Cole West and Chase Zimmerman also finding the end zone.<\/p>\n
Crestwood closed out the scoring on a 5-yard touchdown run by quarterback Jaden Shedlock. The Comets finished their season at 5-6.<\/p>\n
North Pocono improved to 11-0 and will host Dallas for the Class 4A championship next weekend.<\/p>\n
ABINGTON HEIGHTS 53, WYOMING VALLEY WEST 7<\/p>\n
Riding a four-game win streak into the postseason, the Comets blew things open with 23 points in the second quarter for a victory in the District 2 Class 5A semifinals.<\/p>\n
Top-seeded Abington Heights got two touchdown catches from Gavin Anders and two touchdown runs from Jayden Anglin plus a safety to take a 30-0 lead into halftime.<\/p>\n
Nick Bradley threw both first half touchdowns before the Comets got scoring runs from Anthony Severs and Landin Sobolewski in the second half.<\/p>\n
Now 9-2, Abington Heights will take on Delaware Valley for the 5A championship next week at home. The fourth-seeded Spartans close things out at 1-10.<\/p>\n
LAKELAND 49, HOLY REDEEMER 0<\/p>\n
The Royals\u2019 second trip to the District 2 playoffs ended the same way as the first, with a loss to the Chiefs on the road.<\/p>\n
Seeded No. 1 in the Class 2A bracket, Lakeland left no doubt this one, scoring all seven touchdowns in a frantic first quarter to earn the semifinal victory.<\/p>\n
The Chiefs scored four times on offense and three times on defense in the opening 12 minutes. Caden Cuozzo had two of the touchdowns, scoring on a 45-yard run and then a pick-six.<\/p>\n
Prior to that, Luke McFarland also took an interception back for a touchdown to end consecutive Holy Redeemer drives.<\/p>\n
Gavin Roberts, Rocco Spataro and Evan Lozinski also found the end zone for the Chiefs, who are now 10-1 and will host Dunmore for the 2A championship next week.<\/p>\n
Holy Redeemer, which played the season as an independent, finished at 2-9.<\/p>\n
