Saucon Valley and Palisades Set for Conference Clash in Early Season Showdown
HELLERTOWN, PA – The Saucon Valley High School varsity football team will host Palisades in a key conference matchup as both squads look to maintain their perfect starts to the 2025 season. Saucon Valley enters the contest 1-0 after an impressive 42-21 victory in their season opener, while Palisades is also undefeated at 1-0, having edged their opponent 21-15.

Thomas Cahill has also been a key contributor, pulling in 84 receiving yards per game, placing him 14th nationally.
Palisades, while less statistically dominant, has shown resilience early in the season. Their balanced attack has produced 21 points per game, and their defense has kept opponents relatively contained, allowing just 15 points in their opener.
Defensively, Saucon Valley boasts strong tackling numbers and the ability to pressure quarterbacks, which could be pivotal against Palisades’ offense. Hunter Hill leads the team with 10 tackles per game, while Ryan Keeney has recorded one sack in the early season.
Looking Ahead
Both teams share several common opponents later in the season, including Catasauqua, Northern Lehigh, and Pen Argyl, which could provide a benchmark for evaluating this week’s matchup. With both squads off to 1-0 starts, this early-season contest has the potential to set the tone for the conference race.
