TANNERSVILLE
@tannerdogmanits just hit CJ Lowe on a 57-yard TD pass. Dogmanits was briefly injured on the play but walked off the field on his own power.
OH, HENRY
Henry Weikel caps a 9-play, 80-yard drive with a 5-yard TD run. @PHSTrojansFB leads 7-0 with 6:19 left in the first.
WHITEHALL AT PARKLAND
@ZephyrsFootball had the ball first. Got one first down, but has to punt.
GREEN & GOLDEN
Both @EHS_Hornets and @ACCHSVikings celebrated District 11 team titles in girls tennis on Thursday. It was the first ever for the Green Hornets and 3rd straight for the Vikettes.

LET’S DO TWO!
It’s such a big weekend for high school football that we did not one, but two prediction videos. This one maintains a tradition of doing a picks video in the @ParklandSchools TV & Film studio. Great to work with @t3tremba again and meet Ian Bordenick. My thanks to all.

THEY'VE GOT NEXT
A look at recent results in the @SCBL_ fall basketball league with a spotlight on the NCAA division, which has many of the game's future stars and some familiar last names, too.

REMEMBERING 1996
@PHSTrojansFB's first EPC and District 11 championship team will be recognized tonight while the current Trojans will try to move closer to their own titles. A look at the '96 team and this weekend's EPC football picks:

MIKE ZAMBELLI
The @sectv broadcaster continues our salute to the new District 11 Hall of Fame inductees. I grew up watching Mike play football & basketball for @asddieruff in a special era for Allentown sports. It has been an honor to get to know one of my idols. He is most deserving of this HOF selection.
POWERFUL PARKLAND
It’s another EPC girls volleyball title for Parkland. Trojans beat Becahi 25-22, 25-22, 26-24 in the finals at Northampton. It is the program’s 12th league championship but first since 2023.
SOUTHERN LEHIGH SWEEPS
Notre Dame-Green Pond 3-0 to win the Colonial League girls volleyball championship. 25-21, 25-13, 26-24 wee the scores. @SolehiSpartans scored the last 5 points after trailing 24-21.
PICKS VIDEO
Special thanks to Jim Sebesta for holding the phone for the longest video of the year after he also did the first video that got deleted. And extra special thanks to the Piston family for doing this a 2nd time. They are one of the great families in local sports.
PISTONS, part 2
A few weeks ago, I accidentally deleted a prediction video featuring Cathy and Steve Piston and I was determined to try it again. And we got a bonus with their son Adam participating. So we have plenty of Parkland-Whitehall flavor in our video with the Zephs and Trojans meeting Friday night.
GOOD GOING GUO
Moravian Academy is playing @ACCHSVikings for the 2A girls team tennis 🎾 title today. No word on the outcome, but MA’s Vicky Guo teamed with Annemarie Andres to win the D11 doubles title last week after having to retire from the singles final 2 weeks ago.
Still waiting to hear what happened today at Lehigh
TROJANS TRIUMPHS
The @ParklandAthlet1 girls tennis 🎾 team is going for District 11 team gold today. From last week here is coach Candace Young and doubles champs Sadie Pollard and Sonia Lee.
SUPER STEVE
We’ll end today’s District 11 Hall of Fame tributes — a few more tomorrow — with legendary @EastonFootball coach Steve Shiffert. What I liked most about Steve is that he was the same guy, win or lose. Well-deserved inductee.
