The Panthers take the field!
Saturday was Week 5 for Saucon Valley youth football and cheerleading. The Saucon Valley Little Panthers travelled to Catasauqua to take on the Rough Riders on what turned out to be an absolutely gorgeous September day.
The Saucon Valley youth coaches have again volunteered to recognize the efforts of some boys and girls participating on their teams. This recognition is a fun and special way for the coaches to show their appreciation and gratitude for the hard work and dedication the boys and girls invest in the football and cheer programs. Saucon Source is proud to be partnering with the youth coaches and sharing these accomplishments with you!
SV youth football offers “Panther Pride” awards, while cheering will choose girls for “Panther Spirit” awards.
THIS WEEK THE SPOTLIGHT SHINES ON………..
Let’s get a little bit rowdy!

110 POUNDERS (4-1)
Game Summary: 110s dropped a toughie to the Roughies, 34-12. The Panthers had trouble keeping up with a very good youth football team from Catasauqua. Defensive end Daniel Lanning gets the spotlight for his doing his job protecting the perimeter.

130 POUNDERS (2-2)
Game Summary: 130s defeated the Rough Riders, 25-13. The Panthers quarterback Anthony Orlemann threw the ball well to tight end Jacob Clements to pick up a few key first downs to keep Panther drives alive. Brent “Bug” Malick is credited with scoring three touchdowns form his running back position. Defensively the Panthers adjusted to Catty’s big running backs and ultimately shut them down. Great job, guys!
