SOL non-league crossover
Central Bucks West 4, Hatboro-Horsham 2
It was a stellar day all around for Central Bucks West.
Sparked by the hat trick of Beck Walton, the Bucks topped Hatboro-Horsham 4-2 in Friday’s nonleague matchup.
But this was so much more than a one-man effort. The Bucks were able to empty their bench and get all the players time on the field in an all-around team effort.
Finn Marsden scored the Hatters’ first goal on a penalty kick.
Scoring Summary
First half
Beck Walton (CBW), 11th minute
Finn Marsden on a penalty kick (H-H), 16th minute
Michael Rafalowski (CBW), 31st minute
Second half
Beck Walton (CBW), 53rd minute
Beck Walton (CBW), 67th minute
Lucas Rodriguez (H-H), 70th minute
Central Bucks West coach John Adair: “We’ve had our share of ups and down this season in terms of results, but the performances from the beginning of the season until now are night and day. It was a great night for us, and to get everyone on the field tonight was the icing on the cake. Those guys deserved the chance to play. They may not get the recognition, but to show up every day and train as hard as they do and support the program in the way that they do regardless of if they get off the bench or not is a testament to their character. They’re great kids that I’m fortunate to get to work with every day.”
—On the quick start: “We started well tonight, scoring early, and creating a couple other chances that we probably put away on a different day. Michael Rafalowski and Beck Walton obviously showed their quality today with goals and assists, but it was a night that everyone truly played a role.”
—Props: “I have to give a ton of credit to Emad Bokhari as well. He was sick in our last game, and we really missed his presence on the back line. He provides so much stability to our team, in terms of leadership, ability in the air, and ability to play out of the back. He’s a selfless kid, and I think the whole team is really happy for him to be playing so well.”
Hatboro-Horsham coach Kyle McGrath: “Credit to CB West for their win tonight. They were able to get behind us quite easily and made us pay. Tough week for us, hopefully we can bounce back next week. I am proud of the effort to keep battling until the end of the game tonight, hopefully we can build off of that.”
Up next: The Bucks will visit Plymouth Whitemarsh in a crossover game Tuesday. The Hatters will host North Penn on Tuesday.
Hatboro-Horsham       1 1 – 2
Central Bucks West    2 2 – 4

Nonleague
Avon Grove 4, Plymouth Whitemarsh 1
Plymouth Whitemarsh played well against an Avon Grove team ranked sixth in the latest District 1 6A power rankings, but the Colonials suffered a closer-than-it-looked 4-1 loss.
Gianni Yanak scored the Colonials’ lone goal (Joe Milligan assist) with10 minutes left in the second half.
Plymouth Whitemarsh coach Toni Washington: “It was 4-1 on paper but a much better performance from our team after resetting. We still have gaps in our offense, but we competed against a team who is ranked seventh with a winning streak and that’s all I can ask for.”
Up next: The Colonials will host Central Bucks West in a crossover game on Tuesday.

Conwell-Egan Catholic 2, Council Rock South 1
Trailing 2-0 at halftime, Council Rock South netted a goal late in the second half but could not pull even in dropping a hard-fought 2-1 loss to nonleague opponent Conwell-Egan.
Brian Hyams scored the Hawks’ goal.
Council Rock South coach Alan Nicholl: “We were down 2-0 at halftime, but were very much in the game. I think the scoreline really flattered Egan. We’ve hit a tough spell in our season and are struggling right now, but the boys showed great resiliency and desire today. I couldn’t be more proud of their belief as we chased a 2-0 deficit. Brian Hyams clawed a goal back with less than 10 to play to make it a close finish. We never threw in the towel and fought like dogs to chase a result. I really thought we were good value for the points today, but it just didn’t work out. Jake Sadkhin, Madden Burns, Nolan Graham, and Matthew Orsini were warriors today!”
Up next: The Hawks will host Cheltenham on Tuesday.
Conwell-Egan Catholic     2 0 – 2
Council Rock South        0 1 – 1

Wissahickon 1, Methacton 0
An Aidan Siemions goal in the 10^th minute turned out to be the only goal the visiting Trojans would need as they held on for the 1-0 win. Tyler Philip provided the assist.
Scoring Summary
First half
Aidan Siemions assisted by Tyler Philip (W) 5^th minute
Second half
No scoring
Wissahickon coach Stuart Malcolm:
–The game: “We won a hard-fought game against a determined Methacton team. A great strike from junior forward Aidan Siemion assisted by Tyler Philip allowed us to start brightly and ended up being the deciding goal. We managed a few more opportunities but failed to capitalize.
“Methacton grew into the game and had a few chances of their own. Second half there were a few chances for both sides but neither side were able to take their opportunities. A solid week of results this week. We are hoping to keep it going next week with tough match ups with Souderton and a league rival Hatboro Horsham.”
Up next: Wissahickon – 11^th in the latest District 1 4A power rankings – will be on the road at Souderton for a non-league SOL crossover game.
Wissahickon   1 0 – 1
Methacton        0 0 – 0

Springfield Twp 2, Great Valley 1
It wasn’t easy, but the Spartans rallied from what – at the time – felt like a disastrous start to eke out the hard-fought road win.
The Patriots took a 1-0 lead in the opening minute on a bad-bounce own goal, but instead of letting that dictate the course of the game, the Spartans rallied to even the score late in the first half on a goal by  Brendan Noonan.
Porter Brookes connected for the go-ahead goal five minutes into the second half, and the Spartans held on for the non-league win.
Scoring Summary
First half 0
Own goal (GV) 1^st minute
Brendan Noonan assisted by Adam DiBattista (S) 34^th minute
Second half
Porter Brookes assisted by Jonah Hiestand (W) 45^th minute
Springfield Twp coach Riley Woron:
–The game: “This was our third game this week, and coming off two tough losses, this game couldn’t have started any worse. In the first moments of the game, there was an unlucky bounce off a defender that rolled into our goal. The next 15 minutes you could see we were losing the mental battle. Good teams have to fight through adversity and show resiliency. I was proud that our leaders were able to rise above the negative mistakes and spread a positive attitude. Once that happened, we were able to possess the ball and find the open pass.
“We’ve had a few injuries pop up as could be expected with a three-game week. We’ve needed to rotate guys and test our depth. Big shoutout to Porter (Brookes) for stepping up when it mattered most and finding the back of the net.
Great Valley is usually a very close game. And close games are decided by who wants the bouncing ball in the box more. Both teams had dangerous chances that both coaches would’ve expected to score. Credit to the defenders and keepers for putting themselves on the line. Respect to Coach Bern, his squad plays tough the full 80 minutes.”
“We have another three-game week next week so this weekend rest is very much needed.”
Up next: Springfield Twp will travel to Pennridge for a non-league SOL crossover game Monday.
Springfield Twp   1 1 – 2
Great Valley       1 0 – 1

New Foundations Charter School 4, Harry S Truman 1
Dock Mennonite Academy 1, Pennridge 0
