#3 North Schuylkill comes into Friday night's game with #12 Lehighton on a roll blanking Blue Mountain 24-0. Head coach Wally Hall is concerned about the Indians speed.

"Lehighton really has things going a definite carry over from last year. A lot of athletes on the field some big guys up front," said Wally Hall.

The Spartans hope to counter that speed with team defense controlling Wyatt Clements and Tyler Cann is the game plan.

"Our speed very fast everybody has to do their job on defense this week and we should take care of them. What do you think the atmosphere is going to be down there on Friday night? It's going to be really crazy very loud atmosphere. We have to keep our heads. That's about all we have to do," said Paul Dean.

When you join a league and start the season off 2-0 it builds a lot of excitement. It should be a packed house on the hill here come Friday night and for a week 3 high-school football game this has playoff implications. They haven't had this much excitement here in Lehighton since 2007 when Robbie Frey played.

"Absolutely! We got our feet wet last year qualified for districts in the first time in about 5-6-7 years, but again that playoff atmosphere in week 3 is not something you get to often and I think it's going to be a great atmosphere here on Friday night," said Tom McCarroll.

With the Indians offense averaging 48ppg they might need them all having to face Bobby Grigas and that North Schuylkill attack. In two weeks Grigas is showing why he's one of the best quarterbacks in District 11.

"What's the key defensively for you guys dealing with Grigas? Defensive line they definitely have to penetrate and they have to work hard this week. Are you excited? Oh. Yes," said Tom Ruzicka.

"There probably as balanced as a team as we've seen in the last few years that we've been here. They've got some running backs and some receivers to go along with that big offensive line," added Tom.

The Super 16 game of the week. #3 North Schuylkill vs #12 Lehighton.
