Week of Survival

This past weekend showed us a interesting set of games. In HS Football, Valley View proved they belong as the top team in District 2 as they took a road victory in Dallas. Some teams' playoff hopes were potentially dashed as Valley West fell to Abington Heights on Saturday afternoon. In College Football, there were some scares and a few upsets. Michigan State knocked off Penn State at home. Georgia lost to LSU on the road. UCF survived an upset attempt by Memphis as well as a few others. In the Local College Football scene, all three local teams took victories and Misericordia is looking impressive in their seventh season of existence. Potentially their best season to date. After going winless last season, Wilkes has four wins and quite a few impressive ones as well. King's is currently 3-3 on the season but had to replace their starting QB from a season ago. With all that being said, here is what went down this week in HS and College Football.
