Semifinal
At Plymouth-Whitemarsh
  La Salle 38, North Penn 35: Before an overflow crowd that roared pretty much non-stop, the Explorers earned a second consecutive berth in the state final while storming back from FIVE deficits (7-0, 14-7, 21-17, 28-24, 35-31). The game-winning score came on a 25-yard pass from Matt Magarity (10-for-19, 180 yards, two TDs) to soph Sean Coleman (5-114-1), then Joe Naji's deflection enabled Ryan Geiger, whose face had been wiped clean of blood (from three cuts) moments earlier during a timeout, to caress a clinching interception. Coleman also pilfered a pass. Jamal Abdur-Rahman ran 21 times for 142 yards (88 short of 4,000 for his career) and three scores.
Final
At Hersheypark Stadium
  North Allegheny 21, La Salle 0: The Explorers never could post the one big play to get rolling, and wound up going rather quietly. Only one of their 52 plays produced more than 17 yards and they committed five turnovers. Jamal Abdur-Rahman used 16 carries to finish with 62 yards and finalize his career total at 3,974.
