CR South football wins with late score over North Penn in district quarterfinal

NEWTOWN — A spot in the PIAA District One Class 6A playoff semifinals was at stake Friday night at Walt Snyder Stadium.

Defending district champion North Penn and host Council Rock South were coming off of impressive first-round football wins against third-seeded Pennridge and No. 6 Downingtown West. This was the first playoff match up between the two teams since 2011.

The Golden Hawks prevailed 20-13 at Walt Snyder Stadium, earning a Nov. 20 semifinal date with the Central Bucks West-Central Bucks South winner. In a back-and-forth game with several lead changes, the Knights held a 13-12 lead with two minutes to go. That's when Jerry Rogers ran 18 yards to score the go-ahead touchdown for CR South, followed by a successful two-point conversion.

The Golden Hawks face No. 2 Central Bucks West in next week's semifinals.
