Phoenixville football

Phoenixville’s defense had its moments against Unionville despite a 23-9 non-league setback at Washington Field last Friday evening.
The Phantoms have started the season at 0-2 with defeats against Great Valley in overtime and Unionville. It is the first time in head coach Bill Furlong’s seven years at the controls that the Phantoms have started the year at 0-2, but there is still a long way to go in the campaign.
Ducky Ryan recorded a team-high 10 tackles against the Indians with one sack. Greg Porter had seven tackles, one for loss and one fumble recovery. Sam McQuiston had five tackles. Matt Viscuso had four tackles. Travis Andrews made two tackles and forced one fumble. Marcus Stokes had two tackles and one fumble recovery. Dennis Kelly finished with five tackles, two for losses.
Don Jackson is the Phantoms’ defensive coordinator.
Phoenixville opens its 24th season of Pioneer Athletic Conference (PAC-10) football Saturday afternoon at 1 p.m. against St. Pius X at Coach Mich Stadium in Lower Pottsgrove Township.
