SPRINGFIELD >> Marple Newtown defensive end Noah Turner played with controlled aggression Friday night. He was constantly getting to the backfield, disrupting Springfield’s ability to move forward with the ball. He was a monster. Then again, it’s the type of performance MN coach Chris Gicking has come to expect from his 6-2, 230-pound senior.

“Noah’s the quiet leader. All he does is work,” Gicking said. “He’s playing amazing right now.”

You bet. Turner was one of many outstanding defensive performers for the Tigers in their 9-3 victory.

“It was an old-school Central League game,” Gicking said.

Even better, it was Marple Newtown’s first win against Springfield since the 2009 season.
