For as long as any of the players on the field had been in high school Friday night, Plymouth Whitemarsh had dominated the Suburban One League American Conference.

The Colonials had won 25 straight league games dating to 2010, and three straight championships.

Upper Dublin finally ended that consecutive-game run.

Kaleif Lee scored three touchdowns, and John Lee had a go-ahead score with 38.1 seconds left to propel Upper Dublin to a 34-28 home win over Plymouth Whitemarsh.

Upper Dublin, The Inquirer's 23d-ranked team in Southeastern Pennsylvania, lost, 28-23, to Plymouth Whitemarsh last year. This time, experience paid off.

"Totally different feeling," Cardinals coach Bret Stover said. "Totally great high school football game. We were sophomore-heavy; now, we're junior-heavy. Our seniors are heavy."

Kaleif Lee ran for 158 yards on 16 carries. He put the Cardinals up with his third touchdown early in the fourth quarter, 21-20.

Upper Dublin outscored PW, 20-8, in the fourth.
