PENNSYLVANIA, USA — The second and final day of the York Rose Bowl Kickoff classic featured last year's defending State 1A champion Steelton-Highspire Rollers welcoming Imani Christian in an out-of-conference matchup.
The Rollers' defense sparked the scoring after recovering a fumble in the endzone for a safety. On the ensuing drive, the Rollers' star quarterback Alex Erby took a sweep around the left side for a touchdown.
Imani Christian would make a push in the second half, but the Rollers were just too much on offense including a 53-yard dazzling run from Nazier Fuller as the Rollers won 42-27.
The New Oxford Colonials also kicked off their season with a celebration of 50 years. Former coaches, players, and cheerleaders came out to celebrate as the school honored each decade of Colonial football.
The Colonials also took care of business on the field. On New Oxford's first drive, quarterback Idriz Ahmetovic hit Holden Crabbs for the first score of the game. The Colonials' passing game clicked all night as Ahmetovic tossed his second touchdown to Brennan Holmes, a 69-yard connection. The Colonials got the win 35-7.
