The best of the best. Five Northwestern Lehigh football players were recently selected to this year’s Football Writer’s All-State team. After another historic Tigers season, they were well represented on the 3A team. Northwestern had a talented group of seniors selected in Shane Leh (QB), Shane Hulmes (LB), Braxton Lakatosh (RB), and Colton Popp (OL).

Northwestern saved some of its best football of the season for the second half of its PIAA Class 3A semifinal against Trinity. The Tigers outscored the Shamrocks 35-0 after halftime on their way to a 48-13 victory, punching their ticket to the state championship game for the third straight season. “We know how tough it was to get there the first time. So to get back there for the third straight year is difficult to fathom,” said Northwestern head coach Josh Snyder.
