FC Steel, a youth soccer organization that is headquartered in Saucon Valley, had most of their programs in action over the weekend in league play. Both FC Steel boys’ and girls’ teams are participating in the prestigious Eastern Development Program (EDP) this year. The EDP league is an ultra-competitive travel soccer league that arranges for high-level teams to compete against one another on a routine basis.

It was a tough loss on Homecoming night for the Saucon Valley Panthers. Saucon needed to play a near-perfect game against the Northwestern Lehigh Tigers, but they just couldn’t get it done. Nonetheless, the Panthers did make a bunch of awesome plays worthy of any highlight reel. Here, we share a touchdown pass from Dante Mahaffey (#12) to Justin Kyra (#22). It was a beautiful throw with a spectacular catch in the back of the Panther end zone.

Northwestern Lehigh Tigers. This game however, like the others, had many Krunch-Time! options. Even though there were many high-flying offensive plays, we decided to go with defense on a night when the Panthers could have used more of it.

One week after a mercy-rule victory over the winless Warriors of Wilson, Saucon Valley suffered a beatdown of their own at the hands of the Northwestern Lehigh Tigers. The Panthers knew coming into this 2018 Homecoming matchup against Northwestern that they would have to play a near perfect game. However, a continuous assortment of penalties, dropped balls and missed assignments prevented the Panthers from stepping up to overtake the Tigers.

The Saucon Valley Panthers (7-0) are on a roll. After last week’s win over the Wilson Warriors, Saucon now turns their attention to the Northwestern Lehigh Tigers (5-2). The Panthers defeated Northwestern 49-21 last year. But, this year’s Tigers are much bigger game. Northwestern Lehigh suffered a 35-34 loss to Palisades during week three and were defeated 45-21 by the much improved Spartans of Southern Lehigh last week. Friday night is the Panthers’ 2018 Homecoming and the game will be a signature win for either program. It doesn’t get much better than this!

It was a slow weekend for FC Steel. Most teams opted to take the weekend off from EDP play and practice while a few other teams participated in a couple of different tournaments out near the Hershey area.
