Scranton Prep Outlasts Delaware Valley in Physical Showdown

Scranton Prep demonstrated superior physicality to overcome Delaware Valley in a challenging Lackawanna Football Conference Division I matchup. The fourth-ranked Cavaliers secured a 14-7 victory over the sixth-ranked Warriors at Warrior Stadium.

Owen Jeffers powered his way to a touchdown and gained 90 rushing yards, complemented by Brandon Farmer's short scoring run. Braedon McPartland contributed 93 rushing yards to Scranton Prep's effort. The Cavaliers' defense was instrumental, intercepting three passes, with Noah Krzywiec's pick in the second quarter notably shifting momentum.

Delaware Valley had tied the game at 7-7 on a Devin Estevez touchdown run, but Jeffers' score late in the first half proved to be the game-winner. The Warriors' offense faced adversity due to an injury to Estevez and the absence of James Dabney, limiting their rushing game in the second half.

Scranton Prep's defense, led by Elijah Myers, effectively stifled Delaware Valley's ground attack. Despite late drives by Delaware Valley, including a significant pass completion to Joey Weidner, Finn Mulligan's interception in the final seconds sealed the win for Scranton Prep, marking their third straight victory.
