JOE PFAFF DOESN'T like to share, at least when it comes to the Del-Val League championship. The Interboro High senior is a 2-year starter and knows quite well the history of the program. Like the current 11 straight Del-Val titles Interboro has won under coach Steve Lennox - and the fact that the Bucs had a one-third share of the league crown last year with Glen Mills and Chester to continue the streak.

THE CLOCK IS winding down. There is a long stretch of field Penncrest has to cross to win. There's hardly room for error or indecision. It's no time for nerves to rattle your thoughts. In the last 2 years, that has been Matt Atkinson's time.
