NOTE: All three District 12 teams enjoyed byes in the first round (the weekend immediately before Thanksgiving.)

CLASS AA
Quarterfinal
At Northwest Super Site
  Imhotep 49, Catasauqua 0: Two days earlier, after removing its starters at halftime, Imhotep fell to its new Thanksgiving rival, King, 32-30, on a last-play TD pass. The disappointment didn't last. The Panthers frolicked in this one as Deandre Scott scored twice on returns (50 yards with a fumble, 80 with an interception), raising his career total for return TDs to an outrageous 14.
Semifinal
At Gov. Mifflin MS, Shillington
  Imhotep 20, Berks Catholic 0: Deandre Scott posted the first TD on a 75-yard run. The last two went to Tyliek Raynor, who turned just four carries into 131 yards.
Final
At Hersheypark Stadium
  South Fayette 41, Imhotep 0: The Panthers were guilty of four encroachment penalties on SF's first series and remained out of sync throughout the first half, which ended 35-0 and assured the final 24 minutes would be played under the mercy rule. Deandre Scott claimed his 13th career interception and Tyrone Barge, ignoring an earlier ankle injury, provided a late highlight by blocking a PAT.

CLASS AAA
Quarterfinal
At Northeast
  Wood 42, Academy Park 14: Jarrett McClenton (12-145, TD) and Luke Spahits (7-43, three scores) paced the rushing attack among the starters, then sub Joe Dutkiewicz added two rushing tallies. AP posted its scores against second-liners.
Semifinal
At J. Birney Crum Stadium, Allentown
  Wood 42, Berwick 14: Luke Spahits sprinted for identical, 75-yard TDs on kickoff returns while Jarrett McClenton carried 24 times for 172 yards and two scores. This game, postponed from Friday due to dicey weather, started at 5 p.m. Saturday and the result assured that District 12 would be sending three teams to finals for the first time.
Final
At Hersheypark Stadium
  Wood 22, Harrisburg McDevitt 10: Jarrett McClenton set AAA title-game records for carries (40) and yards (238), and totaled two TDs, as the Vikings overcame a sleepy first half (3-0 deficit, just one play for more than 10 yards) to capture their second state crown in three years. Wood's final points, increasing its lead to 22-3, were scored when holder Cody Fitzpatrick controlled an errant snap and floated a conversion pass to Christian Lohin. Chris Gary (two sacks), Jake Cooper and Luke Spahits recorded six tackles apiece.

CLASS AAAA
Quarterfinal
At Bethlehem Liberty
  St. Joseph's Prep 21, Parkland 10: Three weeks after suffering what most folks figured would be a season-ending, left-knee injury, Chris Martin made a triumphant return by passing 12-for-22 for a career-high 235 yards and two TDs. Those were scored by Olamide Zaccheaus (48 yards, 2-76 total) and Justin Montague (29) in the first quarter. John Reid made four catches for 86 yards. Jake Strain notched three TFLs and Vince Moffett made a clinching interception.

Chris Martin, for the second consecutive game, achieved a career high in passing yards while going 12-for-20 for 243 and one TD apiece to Jawan McAllister (2-78) and Justin Montague. John Reid (2-65; also an interception) and Olamide Zaccheaus (2-53; also 75 rushing yards and a TD) joined McAllister in making big yardage contributions via receptions. Martin and Vince Moffett added rushing TDs for the Hawks, who scored just one point on conversions.
