Football Photos: Washington vs. Northeast

PlanPhilly staff

October 6, 2009

(Washington's junior defensive back Martin Karton (23) puts a flying tackle on Northeast's #4.)

The Eagles took on the Vikings over the weekend, and both teams’ chances at the playoffs look promising. Photos of the teams and the schools’ bands are below.

Note: a team roster for the Vikings is not currently available.

(After his pass reception, Northeast's #12 strides into the end zone with the form of a hurdler or long jumper. His halfback pass for the two point conversion was incomplete.)

(It's the big guys who open the lanes, but rarely do they get the praise they deserve. Here Eagles' Abdel Kanan (64) blocks out on Northeast's #20 and Floyd Sharrif (73) blocks down on #18)

(Wahington's human ball machine, Hakeem Sillman; could he be the Eagles' next quarterback?)

(Present at most games, the Northeast band (top photo) and Washington band each performed on the field during halftime and in the stands throughout the game.)
