Friday night at Rossmere for McCaskey's final "home" game, perennial league power Wilson provided the opposition. This game went the way just about everybody with a brain would have expected, Wilson scored three touchdowns in the first quarter and cruised virtually unchallenged to a 56-0 win. The fifty-six points are one fewer than McCaskey has scored for the entire season. JPM was held to three first downs and thirty-seven yards of offense (all on the ground), they gave back thirty-five of those yards on penalties. Through nine games the average margin of defeat is 34-6, the club has one road game left before the pads are put away until next fall. The highlight of the evening was the halftime Homecoming and the introduction of the newest Hall-Of-Fame inductees, among them as a unit was the 1999-2000 McCaskey boys basketball team. That year the club went 24-7 overall winning the school's first district title since 1946. The roster featured old friend Jerry Johnson as leading scorer, he was joined by Bobby Eberhart, brothers Tyron and Tyson McFadden, Perry Patterson, Anthony Gibson, Mark Keller, Robert Rosa, Joe Wysock, Shaun Alston and Herminio Ortiz. The team was coached by the late Steve Powell, he was assisted by Willie McDowell, Mike Mitchell and Earl "Papa" Boots. Had lunch with Jenny and her mother on Saturday, the next day the Black Beauty made its maiden trip to Rothsville for week #6 of street hockey at Lions Park. This was the third and final go-round for these particular matchups, Warwick won over Ephrata and Hillside defeated Township. Take care, thanks for reading.
