WHITEMARSH >> Even the best teams in the Suburban One League American Conference don’t always come out firing on all cylinders every night. The undefeated Plymouth Whitemarsh girls basketball team fell victim to that Tuesday night against Cheltenham.

HORSHAM >> It wasn’t pretty for Hatboro-Horsham Tuesday night, but when you’re the 24-seed in District 1-6A you’ll take a win any way you can get it.

TOWAMENCIN >> The North Penn boys basketball team ran away and hid from Central Bucks West in the second half to register a 57-44 win and take control of the Suburban One League Continental Conference.

Defense is the catalyst to all good things for the Cheltenham boys basketball team. Head coach John Timms just wishes he didn’t have to remind his team of that fact so often.

TOWAMENCIN >> One of the things that makes sports the best reality show on the planet is the big swing. One moment your favorite team is down, the next they’re celebrating victory, and the opposing team doesn’t know what hit them.

Ryan Cody had a chance to provide that moment for the North Penn wrestling team Wednesday night.

PHILADELPHIA >> St. Joseph’s Prep running back D’Andre Swift surpassed 4,000 total yards from scrimmage entering Saturday’s PIAA 6A semifinal. Making him the focal point is easy to say, but it’s much harder to execute.

The North Penn defense gave it all they had to do the latter.

QUAKERTOWN >> After jumping out to a 13-0 lead in the first seven minutes of its game against Norristown Friday night, the Quakertown football team found itself in a 13-6 game at the half.

PHOENIXVILLE >> The Pennridge girls soccer team wasn’t familiar with its opponent Saturday night, but it knew top-seeded Neshaminy was tough.

WORCESTER >> Turnovers can be the great neutralizer in a football game, even if the more careless team is outplaying its opponent. It can also be the main ingredient of a blowout if the benefiting team capitalizes on its opportunities.
