Prep Opps for the Treat. Beats Roman 45 to 3
10/31/08
I guess the Prep had some Halloween festivities to get to because they sure lit up the score board pretty quickly in the first half of play.
Deja vu: the offensive and defensive line totally dominate; the backfield gets the consistent yards and breaks the big ones; the D backs come up with turnovers. I should just start cutting and pasting my comments every week.
Back to Back Shut Outs for Prep 38-0
10/25/08
Another week - another storm - another win. The O line really opened the holes this week for the back field. The Prep controlled the field, the clock and certainly the end zone.
The Prep D put on a clinic this weekend. To say they contained the Bonner attacks would be an understatement. Let\'s just say they were doing a little raining of their own, and Bonner\'s Offense got soaked.

Prep 42 Ryan 7
10/04/08
The Prep\'s kickoff team got a work out on this day. The score was 28-0 at the end of the 1st quarter. What can I say, the highlights speak for themselves...
The 2nd half the Prep managed to find the endzone a few more times. The D, as always, spectacular - rarely did Ryan make it passed the line of scrimmage. <br />Next up: Cheltenham.

An exciting 1st half had in the first dry game of Prep\'s season. Some show-time plays from the Prep O this week, continuing to show their running strength.

Prep Harvests a Big Win Over Parkland HS 20-13
08/29/08
The 1st quarter of action saw the Prep down by 10 and in desperate need of shaking of their ‘road legs’. Persistence, and good ol’ fashioned hard-nosed football provided for a field goal and td to tie it up at the end of the 1st half.
St. Joe’s D really stepped up here in the second half holding the Trojans to only a field goal while creating key turnovers. As for the Prep O, they found it best to run right over, around and through the Trojan D.
