The North halted the South’s two-game winning streak by scoring a pair of second-half touchdowns to capture a 17 – 10 win at Conestoga. The North employed a terrific defense and a ground chewing offense to offset a more balanced South team. The North set game records for most rushing yards (223) and the longest drive in Valor Bowl history, which took 11 minutes and 15 seconds, in taking a 5 – 3 lead in the series. After an exchange of field goals for a 3 – 3 halftime score, the North drove 80 yards in 16 plays, with Phoenixville’s Travis Ford-Bey scoring from the five. The South immediately countered with it’s own 80 yard drive behind Malvern Prep quarterback Ian Mtchell. Avon Grove’s Javan Sanders tied the score at 10 with 8:54 to play in the game. A five-yard South punt put the ball on the South 27, and Coatesville’s CJ Gray, the North’s Offensive MVP (15 carries, 101 yards), went the distance on the first play for the winning touchdown with 3:29 to play. Mitchell claimed the South’s Offensive MVP, rushing for 46 yards on six carries and completing two of his four passes for 58 yards. Defensive linemen Antoine Jones (Coatesville) and Chris Medina (Kennett) were the North and South Defensive MVPs respectively.
