The Northern York Peewee Polar Bears capped off a stellar season by defeating the St. Joseph’s Chargers 13-0 to win the CFA Super Bowl XXXVII. Both teams were pretty evenly matched but the Polar Bears proved to be too much for the Chargers finally scoring again in the fourth quarter after recovering a fumble in St. Joseph’s territory.
Unfortunately the Polar Bears Pony team didn’t fare as well, losing to another St. Josephs team 2-7. Considering that the Polar Bears were seeded 5th going into the playoffs and that they found themselves in Chargers territory with less than a minute left to play, the possibility of victory for the Polar Bears was very real. After Northern failed to gain any yardage on several plays the Chargers intercepted a “Hail Mary” pass as the clock ran out ending the Polar Bears hope for an upset.

I would also like to mention that Polar Bear running back Matt Geiger (#26) was named Peewee League MVP as well as the Super Bowl game MVP. Congratulations to Matt!

Fall is here and along with it comes the college football season. For the past few years I’ve been fortunate enough to freelance for a great group of people who run a web site completely devoted to Division III sports. D3 Football is just one of several web sites being maintained by D3 Sports.
This past Saturday I drove to Gettysburg College for the Gettysburg Bullets game against the Muhlenberg Mules. After getting the typical shots of running backs, quarterbacks, and receivers, I decided to try and showcase some of the battles being won and lost down in the trenches between the offensive and defensive linemen, the unsung heroes. It was raining that day but unfortunately Gettysburg has an artificial turf field as do most schools these days. I say “unfortunately” because a bit of mud and grass would have really made these pictures classic.
