White has Marple Newtown in the running

Barring a surprising slide down the stretch, Marple Newtown will qualify for the District One Class AAA playoffs. One of the reasons for that impending berth is Ryan White.

As the Tigers blanked Upper Darby last week, 23-0, White ran for 203 yards and a touchdown on only 13 carries and added 22 yards and a touchdown on two receptions. For that effort, he was named Central League MVP at Monday night’s weekly meeting of the Delaware County Football Coaches Association, held at Moe’s Grille.
