Football scores on Saturday + Highlights
Neshaminy 21, Easton 14
The Associated Press :
BENSALEM, Pa. (AP) — Andrew Flogel's 24-yard touchdown pass to Georg Coleman with 35 seconds to play allowed Neshaminy to post a 21-14 win over previously unbeaten Easton in the PIAA Class (AAAA) semifinals at Bensalem Memorial Stadium on Saturday.
The Redskins — who won the 2001 PIAA Class (AAAA) — will head to their second Class (AAAA) championship game in four years. They will play Pittsburgh Central Catholic, the Western champion who beat Bishop McDevitt 44-0 in the other semifinal on Saturday.
Neshaminy dominated the game statistically, rushing for 295 yards while holding Easton's rushing attack to 177. But they turned the ball over twice inside the Easton 15 when they had chances to put the game out of reach.
Penn State signee Kevin Kelly also missed three field goals of 37, 39 and 41 yards for Neshaminy.
The Red Rovers (13-1) managed to fight back. Zach Pizzaro busted free for a 33-yard TD run with 2:46 remaining in the fourth to tie the game at 14-14.
The Redskins (13-1) then moved the ball down the field for the game-winning score. Flogel ran the option for 24 yards to set up the TD pass to Coleman, who finished with 153 yards on 24 carries.
Easton had a chance at the end of the game. But Neshaminy linebacker Dominic Cundari picked off Easton quarterback Bernard Coon at the Neshaminy 2-yard line as time expired.

The Associated Press:
ALTOONA, Pa. (AP) — Eugene Jarvis ran for three touchdowns to lead Pittsburgh Central Catholic to a 44-0 win over Bishop McDevitt in the PIAA Class (AAAA) semifinals on Saturday at Mansion Park Stadium.
