Game for the ages earns Penn Wood’s Bowens MVP

Rahiem Bowens had a game for the ages last Saturday at Kerr Field. The Penn Wood senior singlehandedly led the Patriots to their best win in several years. Bowens caught four touchdown passes, including the game-winner in overtime, as Penn Wood defeated The Haverford School, 30-27. Bowens had a fifth touchdown on an interception return and also notched another pick. He finished with nine catches for 246 yards, which is the sixth-greatest single-game receiving performance in Delaware County history. For his efforts, Bowens was selected weekly Del Val League MVP by the Daily Times and Delco Football Coaches Association. Tyric Gould was half-man, halfamazing for Cardinal O’Hara in its 21-0 rout of Bonner & Prendergast. The versatile senior end/linebacker registered 13 tackles and four sacks as the Lions got their fourth win of the season. Gould was named player of the week among the association’s Independent Schools. In the Central League, quarterback Jake Ruane was money as Haverford High blanked Marple Newtown, 35-0. The junior completed a remarkable 24 of 30 attempts for 276 yards and three touchdowns. He also ran for a TD as the Fords stayed undefeated with their shocking blowout of the Tigers.
