St. Joseph’s Prep is set to take on La Salle on Saturday in one of the most highly anticipated Pennsylvania high school football playoff games in history. NBC10’s Brenna Weick has a preview of the big showdown.
One of the most highly anticipated Pennsylvania high school football games in recent memory took place this weekend with St. Joseph’s Prep defeating La Salle College High School in the District 12 PIAA Class 6A high school football playoffs.
The final score was St. Joe's 21 and La Salle 14.
St. Joseph’s Prep had been the dominant force in Pennsylvania high school football in recent years, winning or appearing in the last eight state finals. However, in this year’s regular season they lost for only the second time in a decade in the Philadelphia Catholic League. La Salle defeated St. Joseph’s Prep 35-34 back in October. The quadruple overtime classic is considered by many to be one of the greatest regular season games in Pennsylvania high school football history.
Saturday was considered the rematch with each team’s season on the line. La Salle is ranked number one in the state while St. Joseph’s Prep is ranked number two. The game took place on Saturday at 1 p.m. at Wissahickon High School with St. Joe's advancing in the playoffs and La Salle going home.
