ANTHONY WALTERS SIGNS
Every year on the first Tuesday in February colleges all across the country get an idea of
their chances for a National Championship. Why do colleges get an idea?
Well, because it's National Signing Day a day when seniors football players
sign their names to National Letters of Intent for
Division I and I-AA schools. This year there was no shortage of talent in the
Philadelphia Catholic League as St. Joe's Prep's Jim McKenzie (Syracuse),
Charlie Noonan (Rutgers) Matt Leddy (Elon), Dave Clement (Brown)
and Andy Shalbrack (Columbia) all finalized their commitments. Meanwhile, over in
Drexel Hil,l Bonner's Marc Verica signed a scholarship to Virgina. West
Catholic John Maddox chose to spend his college years in Morgantown, West Virginia, the home
of the West Virginia University. I guess you can John loves schools that start
with West (smile). Army managed to pick up a recruit from the Catholic League
in the form of Judge lineman Jude Cooke. Roman Catholic's Rockeed McCarter
chose to follow his brother's footsteps and sign with James Madison of the
Atlantic 10 Conference. Joining McCarter in the A-10 will be Cardinal O'Hara's
own Anthony Walters. The reigning Co-MVP of the Catholic Red will be
attending the University of Delaware to play under head coach K.C Keeler. I
had the honor of being at the press conference. The press conference started
off with a round of applause from the entire Cardinal O'Hara football team
who wanted to show their support for Anthony. With a few strokes of the pen
Anthony was officially a Blue Hen.
Surrounded by his parents Lisa Walters, Deitrick Broxom and his Coach
Danny Alego around him Anthony officially signed his Letter of Intent.
Walters officially ended his days has a Cardinal O'Hara Lion football player. He
will now be a member of the Fighting Blue Hens of Delaware. After the press
conference all were invited down to the cafeteria for some soft pretzels and
soda. I caught up with Anthony down in the cafeteria where he told me that he's
looking forward to playing at Delaware. After basketball season "Anth" will have
one more high school football game and that is the Big 33. I would like to wish the best of luck to all these student-athletes
as they head to college.

CL RED FINAL
SJ Prep 41, O'Hara 7
Whenever
Cardinal O’Hara and St. Joseph's Prep meet on the football field, several things are
guaranteed -- big crowds, big hits and a good game. Aso, add to that the fact that last
year O’Hara defeated Prep, 14-13, in last year's championship, which ended Prep's bid
for fourth consecutive title. However that was last year and this year is a new
year. The Hawks entered the game ranked 20th in the nation by some national pundits. Early
on, it looked as if we were going to have a defensive battle on our hands. On the first
drive of the game, Prep, being led by Sophomore running back Jamir Livingston and
Junior quarterback Chris Whitney, drove all the
way down to two yard line of O’Hara. On fourth and goal kicker Tim Edger's attempt at a 19-yard field goal was
wide left. O’Hara failed to convert the missed field goal into any points. Late in
the first quarter a Punt by Pat Quinn could not
be held onto by Bill Edger and Junior
Linebacker Rob McLaughlin recover the fumble on
the Prep 26 yard line. A Tom Savage pass to Mark Wedderburn gave O’Hara its only first
down of the game and set up the lone score, a six yard run by Joe” Juice” Juisti.
The extra point by Tim “The
Toe’’ Moore was good, giving O’H a 7-0 lead. Prep would capitalize
after Harry Duke couldn’t hold onto a punt
and Prep recovered the fumble at the O'Hara 21. Livingston would score from a yard out and
the PAT was good, tying the game at 7. Edger's attempt at a 24 yard field goal was good
giving Prep a 10-7 lead at halftime. Prep’s first drive of the second half ended with
a three yard touchdown run by Livingston the PAT was good giving Prep a 17-7 lead. Later
on in the third quarter Edger’s attempt at a 33-yard field goal was good, giving Prep
a 20-7 lead. On Prep's first drive of the fourth quarter Livingston would strike again
this time from eight yards out and the PAT was good, giving Prep a 27-7 lead. Chris Whitney joined the act of scoring when he
ran one in from three yards out, and the PAT was good giving Prep a 34-7 lead. Livingston
would strike one more time, this time from one yard out, and the PAT again was good for a
41-7 win and the 2005 Philadelphia Red Division Championship. After the game Prep Head
Coach Gil Brooks said, "I don't know about being one of the greatest coaches in
Catholic League history” when he was asked about his fifth championship. When coach
Brooks was asked about what having Livingston and Whitney back next season will mean to
Prep's offense, he said, "Having Chris and Jamir back is a good start, but hopefully
other players will continue to develop and follow their lead."

CL RED SEMIFINAL
O'Hara 35, La Salle 14
The last time the Lions and
the Explorers met it was a rainy evening at Springfield Montco. This time they met on a
cold evening at Northeast High. La Salle drew first blood on this night as soph QB John
Harrison capped off a 6-play, 78-yard drive with a one yard sneak. The PAT was good,
giving La Salle a 7-0 lead. Late in the first O'Hara was driving but Tim Moore's
attempt at a 21- yard field goal was blocked by Jack Forster. O'Hara would tie the game up
on an Anthony Walters one yard run. The Explorers would strike again before
halftime as Harrison found Forster in the end zone for a 7-yard strike. The PAT was good
for a 14-7 la Salle lead at half. In the third the O'Hara defense, especially Scott
Taylor, stepped up their game as Taylor's 17-yard interception return TD of Harrison
tied the game at 14. O'Hara fans know the fourth quarter is O'Hara Time and the Lions did
not disappoint their fans. On the 5th play of the quarter freshman Tom Savage, who
came in for an injured Walters, fired a dart that if receiver Chris Myers
missed would have probably taken off his head. But instead it was 20 yard touchdown and
the PAT was good, giving O'H its first lead at 21-14. The Lions were not done yet as John
Dempsey got three of his 135 yards on a touchdown run, and the PAT was good giving O'H
a 28-14 lead. On the very next play from scrimmage Harrison was again intercepted by
Taylor, who this time took it back to the house from 40 yards out. The win for O'Hara gave
Head Coach Dan Alego his 50th career win and the Lions a rematch vs. The Hawks of
St. Joe's Prep, who are coming off a 53-9 victory over Judge. I would
like to thank my buddy Nick Horan for doing stats for a few plays when I was
attending to "business".

SJ Prep 31, O'Hara 7
The last time the
Lions met the Hawks was in December of 2004. O’Hara won that 14-13 giving them the
Catholic League Red Division Championship. This time the Hawks came in ranked 22nd in the
nation and 1st in Ted Silary’s City Top 10.While the Lions entered
the game ranked third. These two teams are clearly the best two the Red Division has to
offer. Only one question remained -- would Prep avenge the loss in the championship? For
this game O’Hara coach Dan Algeo allowed several members from the
2004 championship team down on the sidelines. O’Hara would take an early lead as a
fumble by Chris Whitney (on a lateral), that was recovered by Harry
Duke in the end zone. The extra point by Tim “The Toe” Moore
was good, giving O'H a 7-0 lead. The lead was short-lived as Jamir Livingston
capped off a 10-play, 63-yard drive with an 11 yard touchdown. The extra point by Tim
Edger was good, tying the game at 7. In the third quarter Livingston would strike
again this time from 3 yards out. On the very next play from scrimmage Tom Savage
was picked off by Colin Wixted, who returned it for a 38 yard touchdown. Five plays later
Prep would strike again as Whitney found Bill Edger for an 30 yard
touchdown the PAT was good giving the PREP a 28-7 lead. T. Edger capped the scoring with a
24 yard field goal for a 31-7 win. After the game Prep head coach Gil Brooks
had nothing but great things about O’Hara saying, "They are a great team.”
Once again I got to work with two of my three heros in Ted Silary and John Lohn
of the Delaware County Daily Times. My other hero, Ed “ Huck” Palmer,
couldn’t make it due to a West Catholic game. Both O’Hara and the Prep won't do
battle again until the semifinals.

O'Hara 14, Roman 13
If you were looking for a game featuring two teams in Ted
Silary's Top 10, then all you needed to do was come to Widener's Quick Stadium to
see the O'Hara Lions and the Roman Catholic Cahillites. When the game got started the fans
who came to watch or watched it on WMCN would have a fantasic game. In the first quarter
both defenses flexed their muscles as the two defenses forced a total of five punts. The
game would remain scoreless till Roman QB Cory Jackson found Rockeed
McCarter for a 1-yard TD, and PAT was good giving RC a 7-0 lead at the half.
In the third quarter O'Hara made a switch at quarterback as frosh Tom Savage
came in . . . wait a minute, did you think Coach Dan Algeo benched SR QB Anthony
Walters? Of course not. All Anthony did was move to wide receiver, and that
turned out to be the spark O'Hara needed. Two plays afrter the switich Savage found
Walters, who outjumped Dominique Joseph for the ball, for a 47-yard
touchdown. The extra point by Tim " Toe" Moore was good, tying
the game at 7-7. Later on Savage would once again find Walters for a 13-yard touchdown
pass, and the PAT by Moore again was good for a 14-7 lead. The defense of O'Hara continued
its dominance by forcing Jackson to throw three interceptions, and by sacking him 5 times.
With 2:16 left in regulation QB Chris Johnson found WR Dan Jordan
for a 56-yard touchdown. The PAT was wide right, preserving a 14-13 win for O'Hara. After
the game Coach Alego gave credit to co-offensive cordinators Greg
"Bubba" Bernhardt and Mike Gallagher for the idea of
making the quarterback change. Tom Savage gave credit to brother Bryan
for his mental toughness. The win secured a first-round bye for the Lions as they head
into the final game of the regular season at St. Joe's Prep on Saturday night at
Plymouth-Whitemarsh High.

O'Hara 42, Bonner 7
When you think of a rivalry you probably think of the
Eagles-Cowboys and Packers-Bears. Well, think of O’Hara-Bonner. The 2005 edition had
everything a rivalry should have, including hard hits and a bit of extracurricular pushing
and shoving. On the first drive Bonner SR QB Marc Verica was sacked
twice, once by Eddie Callahan and Isaac Prince, and that
forced Bonner to punt. On O’Hara’s second play from scrimmage the offensive line
did a fantastic job sealing off the outside for John Dempsey to race down
the O’Hara sideline for a 47 yard touchdown. The extra point by Tim “
Toe’’ Moore was good, giving O’H a 7-0 lead. O’Hara's next
drive went 60 yards in 13 plays and was capped by an Anthony Walters 1
yard touchdown run. In the second quarter, both defenses showed they were tough. In the
first quarter the mighty Lion defense was always in the face of Verica. On the last play
before halftime Verica found his tight end, Steve Wheatley, for an
11-yard touchdown pass and the extra point was good, so O’H led 14-7 at halftime. In
the third quarter there was a delay of about 15 minutes due to an injury to the knee of
stud Bonner lineman Pat Dix; he was taken to a local hospital. Following
the delay Dempsey made his way through Bonner's defense for a 3 yard touchdown and Moore's
PAT provided a 21-7 lead. Dempsey was not done yet. He showed his speed as he raced 75
yards downfield for a touchdown. Moore's PAT made it 27-7. Dempsey finished the game with 192
yards on 18 carries and 3 touchdowns. On the second play of the fourth
quarter Walters scored on a 7 yard run, but the PAT failed. Moore added to the lead with a
26 yard field goal and Kevin Ward ended the scoring with an 82 yard punt
return for a touchdown. After the game Dempsey was quick to give credit to his offensive
line saying, "They did a fantastic job blocking.” Dempsey also said, "It
was huge to get a win heading into the next two games (home vs Roman; at Prep), but we are
going to take it one game at time."

O'Hara 33, Ryan 13
For the first time this season the Cardinal O'Hara Lions played
on a Sunday. The occasion was Homecoming and Senior Day and the site was the Cardinal
O'Hara practice field. Fan started to arrive has early has 9:30 a.m. for a 1 p.m. kickoff.
Once the game got started the fans would have plenty to cheer about has on the Lions'
first play from scrimmage, John Dempsey broke several Ryan tackles on his
way to a 38 yard touchdown Tim " Toe" Moore was good, giving
O'H a 7-0 lead. A 20 yard pass from Anthony Walters to Chris
Myers set up the next O'Hara score, a Joe Juisti one yard run.
Moore's extra point was good, giving O'H a 14-0 lead. On Ryan's first play of the second
quarter SR QB Mike Davis pass was intercepted by Scott Taylor,
who returned it for a 45 yard touchdown. Moore's extra point was no good, leaving the
score at 20-0. Jerry Penrose's nice blocking on a Juisti 31 yard run set
up a Walters one yard run. The two point conversion was no good, giving O'H a 26-0 lead.
At halftime the defense of O'Hara shutout streak was up to 12 quarters. The Archbishop
Ryan defense came out of halftime fired up holding the Lions to seven points in second
half. The lone O'Hara touchdown come on a Juisti 35 yard touchdown run, and the extra
point was good for a 33-0 bulge. Juisti finished the game with two touchdowns, 157 yards
on 15 carries that average out to a whooping 10 yard per carry. On the second play of the
fourth quarter Jr FB Bob Kilchrist made his way through the O'Hara
defense for a six yard touchdown, then the PAT was blocked by Taylor. The score by Ryan
put an end to the O'Hara shutout streak which lasted 156 minutes and 46 seconds. I would
like to thank the O'Hara defensive staff of Joe DiTullio Mike Cassidy Rich
Dominico, Eric "Scoop'' Long and Joe Neubauer
as well as the entire defense for making the last 156:46 fun to cover. The next Ryan score
would be a family score as Davis found his cousin, Rob McArdle, for
a two yard touchdown pass the extra point was good. When Anthony Walters was asked about
playing at O'Hara he responded, "It's an advantage to us because we practice here
every day, but in these conditions it was anybody's game." Up next for the Lions is a
date with their Delaware County rivals, the Monsignor Bonner Friars, at Widener University
on Friday night. I would like to express my deepest sympathy to family and friends of
former St Joseph Prep and University of Penn running back Kyle Ambrogi.

O'Hara 14, La Salle 0
For the first time this season, the Cardinal O'Hara Lions
entered a hostile enviroment. The La Salle fans let the Lions know from the moment they
ran on to the field that they were in Explorer country. There was anticipation in the air
because La Salle coach Joe Colistra was trying to break
the school's all-time record for most career wins. The O'Hara defense set the tone early
forcing La Salle into a three-and-out. The Lions would strike on there second drive with
some key blocks from the starting offensive line of Jerry "J-Penny"
Penrose, Sean Murray, Pete Plousis, Kevin "Porky" Grant and Nate
Higgins. The Lions drove 75 yards downfield, and on second
and goal Anthony Walters sneaked his way in from one yard and the extra
point by Tim "Toe" Moore was good, giving O'H a 7-0 lead. A
interception by Kyle Peterson led to O'H's second score, as this time
Walters found Mark Wedderburn for the touchdown. Moore's
extra point was good again, giving O'H a 14-0 lead. The powerful O'Hara defense only
allowed 16 yards of total offense in the first half. The O'H secondary of Kevin
Ward, Harry Duke and Anthony Walters allowed 6 yards
passing in the first half. The second half belong to the Lions' defense. Coach Mike
Cassidy's defensive backs continued their dominance in the second half
along with the linebacking corps of Scott Taylor, Greg " Red
Dragon" Smith and Todd Cannon. After the game when i asked Harry Duke about
the game he told me, "Coach Cass and (Joe) DiTullio did a fantastic
job of preparing us for La Salle." Up next for the Lions are the Raiders of
Archbishop Ryan while coach Colistra will try to win his 150 game at the Bonner Friars.

O'Hara 40, North Catholic 0
After a scare from father Judge last week, the Cardinal
O’Hara Lions wanted to show that they are still a Pennsylvania powerhouse. This
week’s opponent was the North Catholic Falcons, who came back to the Red Division
after some time in the Blue Division. The Lions had to do without SR OL Dan Gough,
who missed the game with an injury. Several players and Coaches Mike Gallagher and Kevin
“Chewy” DiPoalo wore Under Armour wrist bands with
the number 64 and Dan on them. On the first play of O’Hara's second drive, SR QB
Anthony Walters launched a pass to Sr.WR Chris Myers for a 34-yard touchdown.
The extra point by Tim "Toe” Moore was good, giving O’H a 7-0 lead.
On the next O’H drive, Jr. running back John Dempsey got
past the North defense for a 19-yard touchdown. Following the missed extra point
O’H led, 13-0.Unfortunately for North Catholic, O’Hara’s offense was just
warming up in the first quarter. Jr. running back Sean Lyons busted through the
Falcon defense for a 39- yard touchdown run and, following Moore's kick,
O’H led, 20-0. On the next O’Hara drive Lyons struck again, this time from 14
yards out. The two-point conversion was no good, giving O’H a 26-0 lead at halftime.
The Lion defense dominated the first half, allowing just two yards of total offense. So.
defensive lineman Isaac Prince led the defense in those 24
minutes, finishing with 2.5 sacks. While on the way to the locker room at halftime,
I was greeted by cheers of “Willie, we love you!!” by my fan club. An 11-yard
touchdown by Dempsey, his second of the day, gave him 100 yards rushing on 7 carries. The
extra point was good, giving a 33-0 lead. When freshman QB Tom
Savage sneaked his way by the Falcon defense from one yard out, and the extra point
was good, that gave O’H the 40-0 lead. Only one question remained and that was would
the O’Hara defense get the shutout? Greg "Red Dragon” Smith, Scott
Taylor, Todd Cannon, Harry Duke, Kyle Peterson and Eddie Callahan, along with Prince,
played a big part in making sure the defense got the shutout. During his post-game talk O’Hara
head coach Dan Alego told his team, “Men, that was O’Hara
football!!” Defensive Coordinator Joe DiTullio was quick to tell me, "I
didn’t get the shutout. The kids did.” Up next for the Lions
are the Explorers of La Salle, who will enter the game undefeated with a record of 5-0.

O'Hara 13, Judge 7
The Cardinal O’Hara Lions
opened their 2005 Red Division season after going 2-1 in non league games. The Lions first
divisional game was against the Crusaders of Father Judge. Father Judge won the toss and
elected to receive and started to drive down the field with their quarterback Justin DeCristofaro and rusher Jeff McMahon. McMahon's
one-yard TD turned out to be the only points of the first half. The Lions starting QB was
freshman Tom Savage, who was filling in for Anthony
Walters who missed the game with an injury. The Judge
defense look very impressive while shutting out the Lions' offense for the first half.
When the second half rolled around, O’Hara came out fired up. The defense, led by Ed
Callahan, Kyle Peterson and Isaac Prince, came up big
with several three-and-outs. Offensively, the Lions were led by Sean Lyons, John Dempsey, Joe Juisti, Jerry
Penrose and Nate Higgins. In the third quarter, Lyons
busted through the Judge defense for a 16-yard touchdown run. Tim Moore's extra point was good, tying the game at 7. Late in the fourth
quarter Judge was driving for what could have been the game-winning score, but there was a
fumble (strip by Kyle Peterson, recovery by Prince) at the O'Hara 1. On the next play
“Juice" (Juisti) busted through the Judge defense with help from Jerry Penrose
and Nate Higgins, who both had key blocks, and gained 83 yards! A few plays later, Dempsey
got past the Crusaders' defense on a four-yard touchdown run. In the final minute a
DeCristofaro pass was intercepted by Kevin Ward to seal the deal for the
Lions in a 13-7 victory. Up next for the Lions are the Falcons of North Catholic Friday
Night at Widener University.

O'Hara 14, West Catholic 12
For the first time
in history The Cardinal O’Hara Lions were playing a home night game, and the opponent
for this night was the 2-0 West Catholic Burrs, who entered the game unscored
upon. The Lions knew that this game wouldn’t be a easy one because West is a power in
the Blue Division and the Lions were battling injuries. The Lions scored first on a
29-yard interception return by Greg "Red Dragon" Smith, but the touchdown
was called back because of a penalty O’Hara wouldn’t score on
the drive. A few moments later sr. DB Anthony Walters intercepted a Steven
Powers pass and raced down the field, juking several
Burs on the way to a 51-yard TD return. The PAT attempt by Tim “The Toe”
Moore was good, giving O’Hara a 7-0 lead. West Catholic responded with a pass
from sophomore Eric Brennan to jr. Wide Receiver Chris Palmer
for a 36-yard touchdown. The PAT attempt was no good. The
O’Hara defense got five interceptions -- three by Walters and two by Smith. Joe
“Juice" Juisti added to the Lions' lead by trucking his
way in the end zone from four yards out. Moore’s kick was good, giving
O’Hara a 14-6 lead. West responded with a touchdown on a play
where Wayne Donahue gained three yards before fumbling. The ball was picked up by
sr. Wide Receiver John Maddox, who ran down the right sideline
for the remaining 46 yards. The two-point conversion was no good and O’Hara led,
14-12.
The second half was dominated by the O’Hara defense. Sr.
defensive linemen Eddie Callahan and Matt McGrath, along with Joe
Goldschmidt, were always pressuring the QB all night long while the
linebacking corps of Smith, Scott Taylor and Todd Cannon played solidly the whole
night. Sophomore DB Kevin Ward played a solid second half filling in for Walters,
who got banged up in the first half. Freshman QB Tom Savage took
over the quarterback position for Walters during his absence and several
big runs by Juisti got the O’Hara offense eating clock. Big Punts by sr. Pat Quinn
put West deep in its own territory all night. The win was secured on a fourth down
when Brennan mistakenly spiked the ball in the final seconds of the game, giving
O’Hara a 14-12 win. I would like to thank Widener University head coach David
Wood and his staff for letting O’Hara use their field for home games.
(Except the October 16 game vs. Ryan, which will be played at Springfield High in Delco.)

North Penn 35, O'Hara 28
If you were
looking for a game with two state powers
playing each other, ll you had to do was travel up to
Crawford Stadium, the home of the North Penn Knights. NP entered the game ranked second in
the state and their opponent for the night was the defending Catholic League Red Division
Champions, the Lions of Cardinal O’Hara. Both teams entered this game undefeated at
1-0. The visiting Knights defeated Glen Mills, 30-6. O’Hara defeated the defending
Catholic League Blue Division champs Archbishop Wood, 26-0. Both teams knew that this game
was going to be a tough game and come down to the wire but no one could have
predicted that the game would be more of an offensive show down than a defensive battle.
O’Hara won the toss and drove 80 yards down the field on 19 plays and
scored on a 9-yard touchdown pass from senior QB Anthony Walters to sophomore tight end Mark Wedderburn.
The extra point attempt by Tim “The Toe” Moore was good giving
O’Hara a 7-0 lead. The drive took eight minutes off the clock.. The touchdown drive
was costly for the Knights of North Penn, as starting quarterback Kyle Feiser
was knocked out of the game with what was said to be a torn MCL. North Penn quickly responded with a 3-play, 52-yard
drive that took one minute and 23 seconds. The capper came when Brandon Turner ran 41 yards for the touchdown, and the PAT was
good.. That was the end of the scoring for the first half. The second showed the crowd
just how good the two defenses were with several big plays. Junior defensive end Joe
Goldschmidt had two sacks for O'Hara.
The game remain tied until 2:33 showed
in the third quarter, which was when NP fullback Pete Stoll ran 41 yards
for a touchdown, capping a 5-play, 57-yard drive. North Penn kept the advantage until
0:33 into the fourth quarter when senior running back Sean Lyons
took a Walters handoff and ran in for a 12-yard TD. Moore’s PAT was good, tying the
game at 14. Lyons was filling in for junior running back John Dempsey,
who missed the game and will miss this week game vs. West Catholic due to a sprained
ankle. John told me, “I feel great. It's (just) swollen.” The next O’Hara
drive was a short one because on the first play Walters sent a perfect pass to Wedderburn
for a touchdown, the pair's second hookup of the night. Moore’s extra point was good,
giving the Lions their first lead, at 21-14, since it was 7-0. North Penn would tie it on
its next drive as Tyrece Ervin took the ball from 59 yards out. Both
North Penn and O’Hara were not done as Turner
took a handoff and ran 24 yards. O’Hara would not go down without a fight behind
senior captains Dan Gough and Walters, who led the offense all night.
Walters used his legs to get in from seven yards out, tying the game at 28. The defense
was lead by senior captains Ed Callahan,
Greg “Red Dragon" Smith and Scott Taylor gave the North Penn offense all they
could handle but in the end a fumble cost the
Lions. The game-winning TD was scored by Stoll, who took it in from one yard out.
