Had a great day competing at the Lehigh Mega Camp!! It was a great experience getting to talk to the coaches and I am eager to compete in July at the prospect camp.

I'd say I'm the NWL "expert" on PFN & over the course of the year I've defended NWL to people who questioned them (not PFN-affiliated people questioning).
It's a strange principle, but over the past 3 years, the "weaker" they've gotten, the better they've gotten (eg RBs: Clymer in 2023, Eli Zimmerman in 2024).
How the hell was EZ gonna replace Clymer? In 2024, NWL had legit WRs growing on trees. They graduated a few ... but now they seemingly have "equal depth/skill" across all their skill positions. Two headed monster at RB w/Lakatosh & Sukanick, Bollinger / Lagowy / B. Zimmerman at WR & Hulmes at TE.
The criticism that they are a "big play" offense is invalid, because they set up the big play by "coincidence." Their offense is an impossible whack-a-mole for defenses. If any given "big play" they scored on wasn't there, something else would've been available. That's where Leh's immeasurable Football IQ comes in & complimenting Football IQs of his teammates.
I don't like the rhetoric which has questioned them, because respectfully, you gotta beat the Champ ... and I just don't see that happening. NDGP was their toughest opponent & they stayed in the game into 4th quarter.
Regarding other facets of their team, I won't address in the name of brevity, but primarily because their coaching staff has figured it out.
While last year's 3A State Championship is "irrelevant" - I ballparked it ~31-13, NWL; it wasn't close. If refs would've been throwing flags in the box (a handful went NWL's way, but majority of Avonworth's scoring was set up by missed holding & blocks in the back ... even one play where B. Zimmerman was held & blocked in the back by two different players, no flags).
TW's prediction: NWL repeats in a Mercy Rule game; to all the doubters, NWL thanks you for the fuel.
Congrats @nwtigerfootball: The Road to the Colonial League Goes Through NWL*
Coach @jshsnydr7 has a lot of Coach Mitchell in him - but he prefers the Wing T from the Shotgun. 🤔

*It used to be Catasauqua, as they posted 21-0 W in 1996 CL Championship. 4 of last 5 regular season meetings in 20th century, all the last week of regular season, either determined CL Champion and/or had major implications for D11 2A Playoffs

PAT is good.

MOUNTAIN ROAD RUMBLE:
Northwestern Lehigh vs Northern Lehigh
Chase Sukanick with a 33 yard touchdown run after a Michael Lagowy interception. 26-7 Tigers.
@nwtigerfootball@AthleticsNlsd@nwlehighsd
Chase Sukanick worked hard to go from backup in mop-up duty to a significant contributor to @nwtigerfootball ridiculous offensive numbers through three games.
