It’s playoff time, and Northwestern Lehigh<\/a> had no trouble coming through when it counted. They breezed past the Scranton Prep Cavaliers<\/a> to the tune of 42-14 on Friday. The Tigers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 12 contests by 21 points or more this season.<\/p>\n Shane Leh<\/a> was his usual excellent self, throwing for 224 yards and five TDs while completing 88.9% of his passes. Braxton Lakatosh<\/a> made the highlight reel by snagging an interception and taking it all the way to the house.<\/p>\n Another reason for the win was Northwestern Lehigh’s imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for three sacks.

Lakatosh got in on the action too, converting a pick into a touchdown.<\/p>\n Northwestern Lehigh’s win bumped their record up to 14-0. As for Scranton Prep, they moved to 8-6 with that loss, which also ended their three-game winning streak.<\/p>\n Northwestern Lehigh wasted no time getting back out on the field and has already played their next game, a 48-13 victory against Trinity on the 28th.
