Honesdale football falls to Valley View in District 2 quarterfinals

HONESDALE — A season that began with so much promise has come to a heartbreaking end for the Honesdale football team. On Friday, Nov. 6, the Hornets hosted Valley View in their first-ever District 2 home playoff game. But sadly for an overflow crowd at the Daniel J. O’Neill Sports Complex, the visiting Cougars simply had too many offensive weapons. Despite big plays from Gabe Duda, Abe Bryant, Jacob Ramos and Dontae Joseph, Honesdale suffered a 42-21 loss in the District 2 quarterfinals. Valley View scored in every quarter en route to the upset, thanks in large part to stellar performances from quarterback Colin Dempsey, wideout Cash Roe and running back Ben Evans.
