BUCKTOWN — In case you didn’t notice, a Pioneer Athletic Conference team finally put up double figures on Owen J. Roberts.
For the first time in nearly two full years, or since a
grind-it-out, 37-21 win over Methacton back on Jan. 26, 2011, the
Wildcats surrendered 10 or more points to a PAC-10 rival when they gave
up 14 in a decision of Perkiomen Valley last Wednesday. Two nights
later, they gave up the exact same number in their highly-anticipated
turned highly-anticlimactic win (because of illness and injuries) over
Boyertown last Friday night.
But the Wildcats are not — repeat, are not — getting generous or, for that matter, getting weak.
And barring a loss at Spring-Ford on Wednesday night, they’ll get
the No. 1 seed for this year’s District 1-Class AAA Team Duals, which
get under way next week.
“We’re pretty pleased with how the kids are wrestling,” OJR head
coach Steve DeRafelo said following Friday’s beating of Boyertown. “But
we still have some things to work on … and we still have to get our
lineup in order.”
Right now DeRafelo’s big concern, of course, is Spring-Ford.
