PH played them tough for awhile and hit some very nice trick plays early, as coach Fiddler seems to always do in this matchup but Salem pulled away in the 4th quarter.
The best news for Salem fans is that they finally have made the switch at tailback, although they didn't do it until late in the 3rd quarter. Isaiah Barlow had a bad leg injury to start the season but is healthy now and clearly the best option. The lack of explosiveness here has been the teams biggest weakness of the team, in my opinion.
Jones will still carry the ball and is only a sophomore so he needs to stay involved and work hard... he still has a bright future. Barlow just simply hits the hole faster and has more wiggle, speed and explosiveness.
It was also interesting to see Peyton Lewis dressed and moving around able to jog some after his brutal leg injury and surgery earlier in the season. I did not expect to see him even dressed the rest of this season.
