Summary written for this site

Under the headline "Marple discovers that sweet feeling," DelcoSport's account of Marple Newtown's 28–7 win over Haverford High credits Nick Reynolds with 13 carries for 68 rushing yards and a 52-yard interception return for a touchdown. The story describes him as a former wrestling standout planning winter weight training with college football ahead, and reports recruiting interest from Lafayette, West Chester and Bloomsburg. It quotes him on the team playing with "a different heart" and credits teammate Bobby Small's block on the interception return. The Philadelphia Inquirer covered the same game in "Marple Newtown defense gets going against the Fords," recording the same 52-yard interception return plus a 14-yard touchdown reception.
