FOOTBALL:Pennsbury grad catches two TDs

Quarterback Joe Wright threw for 252 yards and four touchdowns and also rushed for a score to lead West Chester to a 34-26 victory over host C.W. Post in a PSAC East contest at Hickox Stadium Saturday Oct. 10 in Brookeville.
Both Steve Miller and Dan DePalma each caught two TD passes from Wright, who finished 16-for-25 and did not throw an interception. Miller is a Pennsbury HIgh School alum from Fairless Hills.
DePalma’s 146 yards on five catches marked the third straight week that the junior wide receiver has gone over 100 yards receiving.
DePalma hauled in a 52-yard pass from Wright with nine minutes remaining in the game that put West Chester (4-3, 3-1 PSAC East) on top for good. C.W. Post (2-5, 2-2) had briefly taken a 26-20 lead in the fourth quarter, before Wright engineered two fourth-quarter scoring drives that put the game away.
Miller’s 17-yard scoring strike with three minutes to go capped a 10-play, 71-yard drive that ate up nearly five minutes of the final quarter and provided the final nail in the Pioneers’ coffin.
West Chester travels to Shippensburg this Saturday at 1 p.m.
