Week 10 notebook

Dominance is back
Donegal has only beaten Columbia twice since 1999. In 1999, the Indians scored a 3-0 win over the Tide to create a three-way tie for first place in Section 3. Last season, the Indians shutout the Tide 40-0 as the locals finished the season with an 0-10 record. In their wins, the Tide has outscored the Indians 438-160. Of the wins, Columbia has scored 40 or more points in six of those games, including 60 in a 60-35 win over the Indians in 2005.

Harrison by the numbers
First-year starting quarterback Tyler Harrison has a great season. Friday, Harrison completed 22 of 29 passes for 245 yards. It was the third most passing yards in a game this season for Harrison, who passed for 266 against Boiling Springs and 262 against Annville-Cleona. The only game he wasn't over 100 yards against Daniel Boone, when he left the game with an injury and only passed for 87 yards.
His five touchdowns was a career-high and he'll finish the regular season with 21 touchdown passes, tied with Catholic's John Roda and PV's Ben Myers for the most in Section 3 and the L-L League.

Burke by the numbers
The second-year wide receiver finished the game with 12 catches for 133 yards and three scores. He also caugtht a two-point conversion and won the Section 3 scoring title. He now has caught passes for 1,027 yards for the season. He was one of two wide receivers in the L-L League to catch passes for 1,000 yards this season. The other was Lucardy Jean-Francios of Cedar Crest, who finishes with 1,013 yards.

Defense by the numbers
For the fourth time this season, the defense accounted for some points. Roger Walton returned a fumble in the second quarter for a score. Earlier this season, Burke against Pequea Valley and Brock Taylor against Daniel Boone returned interceptions for scores. Against Eastern, the two recorded two safeties.
