A couple of L-L League football items …
UP JUMP THE BUCKS – Just one L-L League football team will shift classifications for the 2010-2011 cycle – Conestoga Valley, which will bump up from Triple-A to Quad-A. According to the updated PIAA list, CV will have 545 boys in the high school during that span, and the Bucks will be the seventh-smallest school in Quad-A during those two football seasons.
SOURBER SETS MARKS – Manheim Township senior RB Brian Sourber had a sensational season toting the football for the Blue Streaks. Through 11 games, he carried 246 times for 1,546 yards, had 21 touchdown runs and 24 total TD for 146 points scored. He broke Justin Stull’s single-season rushing mark (1,542 in 2001); he broke Stull’s single-season TD rushing mark (18 in 2001); he broke George Eager’s single-season total TD mark (22 in 2004); and he broke Eager’s single-season scoring mark (132 in 2004).
COMEBACK KIDS – If you thought Wilson steamrolled through its second straight 7-0 run through Section 1, look again. The Bulldogs came from behind to win seven times during the regular season. And they nearly made it eight, but came up 2 points shy and a wide-left field goal from rallying past Manheim Central.
STEWART SURPASSES SINGLE-SEASON MARK – Lancaster Catholic junior RB Jordan Stewart’s 1,218 rushing yards are a single-season school record, topping the previous mark of 1,198, set by current Lancaster Catholic RB/DB coach A.J. Cunningham in 1998. Stewart has played in nine of the Crusaders’ 11 games, making his new mark a little sweeter.
