Phoenixville Football Game Preview
With both teams coming off difficult losses, Phoenixville hosts Unionville in non-league football action Friday night at Washington Field. Kickoff is at 7 p.m.
Unionville fell to Garnet Valley, 15-14, on a late, 96-yard scoring drive last week while Phoenixville surrendered a 21-7 third-quarter lead in bowing to Great Valley, 27-21, in overtime.
“They (Indians) are good, tough and they are big,” said Phoenixville head coach Bill Furlong Thursday afternoon. “They are going to be angry. They run play-action and they like to play smash-mouth football. They are very well-coached with their execution. They know what they are doing.”
Furlong hopes Phoenixville can create turnovers and capitalize on them in order to keep the game tight. Against Great Valley, the Phantoms recovered three fumbles and intercepted three passes. Ducky Ryan returned one interception 35 yards for the first Phoenixville touchdown in the first quarter.
“There are going to be a lot of opportunities for our young kids to step up and create some plays,” said Furlong.
Running back/linebacker Sam McQuiston had a big two-way performance against the Patriots and will be counted upon again. McQuiston was the team’s leading rusher with 60 yards on 10 carries, caught a 9-yard scoring pass from quarterback Tom Romano and made 10 tackles on defense.
Phoenixville will open its Pioneer Athletic Conference (PAC-10) season Saturday afternoon, Sept. 19, against St. Pius X at Coach Mich Stadium at 1 p.m.
The Phantoms’ first home league game is against Owen J. Roberts Friday night, Sept. 25, at 7 p.m. at Washington Field.
