Week XII Krunch Time: Harka Catches A Tiger (Brought to You by The Waldheim Beethoven Club)

With their semifinal victory over the Northwestern Lehigh Tigers on Saturday night, the Saucon Valley Panthers improved to a 10-2 record and will now advance to the District XI championship game for the fifth consecutive season.  It was another great night for Panther Nation with many highlight-type plays.  This week, Saucon Source brings you this Krunch Time! defensive dandy courtesy of Panther defensive tackle Jared Harka!

 

 

During the first quarter of Saturday night’s District XI semifinal, the Northwestern Lehigh Tigers were faced with a 2nd & 6 from their own 28-yardline.  The game was deadlocked at 7-7 and the Tigers were trying to keep the chains moving in an attempt to retake the lead.

From his defensive tackle position, Jared Harka (#61) gets upfield and penetrates the Northwestern Lehigh line of scrimmage as the Tigers test the middle of the Panther defense.  When Tiger running-back Tyler Lobach (#20) passes Harka with the ball, Harka reaches around his Northwestern blocker, snags Lobach by the shirt and tosses him backward for a minimal gain.  Check it out as Saucon senior Jared Harka catches a Tiger and then, with a little help from his friends, flattens him on the ground!

In recognition of this Krunch Time! award, the Culinary Experience & Catering is rewarding Jared with a $12 meal voucher to be redeemed at the next Saucon Source Post-Game Tailgate Party at the Waldheim Beethoven Club.  Saturday night, the Panthers (10-2) will travel to a neutral site at Nazareth’s Andrew S. Leh Stadium and battle the Bethlehem Catholic Golden Hawks (9-3) for the PIAA District XI championship!

Great job Jared, the Source is with you!
