The Chester Clippers will head out on the road to take on the Quakertown Panthers at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Chester will come into the game with an undefeated record on the line.
Chester's defense heads into the contest hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Saturday. They simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat Penn Wood 45-0. Considering the Clippers have won eight matchups by more than 19 points this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.
One reason for the win was Chester's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for five sacks. Demir Hatchett was particularly dangerous to the passing game, picking up two himself. Another thorn in Penn Wood's side was Zyon Santana, who picked up a sack and made nine total tackles (2.0 for loss).
For whatever reason, it's the away team that's had the advantage when Quakertown and Council Rock South meet (four straight games heading into this one) and that held true again on Friday. The Panthers and the Golden Hawks were almost perfectly matched up, but the Panthers suffered a 28-27 loss. While losing is never fun, the Panthers can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Pennsylvania football rankings (they are ranked 155th, while the Golden Hawks are ranked 49th).
