East football faces biggest challenge yet in district title game vs Southern Lehigh

SWIFTWATER – For the second year in a row, Pocono Mountain East football is playing for a district championship. And for the second year in a row, the Cardinals are the underdog. East earned its way back to the title game by avenging the Bucket Game loss to Pleasant Valley in the 5A District 11 semifinal , but Dustin Thomas’ squad arguably has the toughest opponent of his entire tenure to date: Southern Lehigh, the reigning PIAA 4A state champion that moved up a classification this year. The Spartans are 11-0 after defeating East Stroudsburg South 42-10 in the other 5A semifinal. Many expect them to stay undefeated, but Thomas hopes that could serve as motivation for his players. “I’m not foolish. I know nobody thinks that we can go down there and beat them, but at the same time, if I'm a player on East, that's what's motivating me,” Thomas said. “The fact that you have a chance to put all that to rest and be the team that beats a state champ and win a district title, that would be what’s motivating me.” More: Greyson Fuller's 1,000-yard season is only a first step to become South's next great

Pleasant Valley's Chris Ward voted 2026 Pocono Record Offensive Player of the Year

What would've happened if Chris Ward never chose to play football for Pleasant Valley? We'll never know. Instead, Ward's talents earned him the 2026 Pocono Record Offensive Player of the Year Award, as voted on by the area's six football coaches for his regular-season performance. Ward did everything for the Bears this season, recording 1,436 rushing yards and 23 touchdowns on 9 yards per carry, while also throwing a few passing touchdowns. Ward's single-season rushing total is the second-best mark in program history, only 50 yards shy of Michael Mitchell's record set in 2016. Pleasant Valley head coach Blaec Saeger said it took some convincing for Ward, who also plays lacrosse, to give football a chance in his early high school days. Thankfully for Saeger, he was persuasive enough to get the pads on him, and the rest is history. "I can't say enough good things about that kid," Saeger said. "And it is true — as a sophomore, I had to talk him back onto the football team, but he is a kid who bought into it. He's a kid who loves it. He's a kid who I love, man. He's just an amazing person. "He's the kid who
