LANGHORNE — Pennsbury junior running back Jordan Brensinger is not part of the the Falcons two-minute offense. As Pennsbury desperately tried to score in the final minutes to overtake host Neshaminy, Brensinger was on the sideline.

So Brensinger turned to coach Galen Snyder and, unknowingly, quoted singer John Fogerty's song 'Centerfield': "Put me in, coach."

"I'm not in the two-minute but I told (Snyder) to put me in," said Brensinger, who scored two of the three of the Falcons touchdowns. "I was not in on first or second down so, on third down, I told him 'trust me'."

Snyder's trust in Brensinger paid off, as he scored a touchdown on a 21-yard run with 42.5 seconds left in the game. He then made a key block on the two-point conversion run by Walker Murray to give the Falcons a 22-21 lead.

Neshaminy missed a 52-yard field goal as time expired to give Pennsbury a huge Suburban One League National Conference victory on Friday night at Harry E. Franks Stadium.

As a result, Pennsbury (5-5 overall, 3-4 SOL National) qualified for the 16-team field in the District One 6A playoffs. The Falcons are 14th in the district rankings and will visit SOL National rival Central Bucks West (the third seed) on Friday night.

Neshaminy (6-4, 3-4 SOL) had been in line to host a first-round playoff contest as a top-eight seed. Neshaminy moved to 10th in the rankings, which means a game at No. 7 Owen J. Roberts on Friday night.

The Falcons never held the lead until 43.5 seconds remained. The pattern was the same: Neshaminy would score a touchdown and Pennsbury would always respond with its own score.

Brensinger figured the season would come down to beating Neshaminy.

"We've been practicing for Neshaminy for two weeks," he said. "Even though we had a game with Abington (a 42-0 win) we still were also practicing for Neshaminy."

The Falcons do not pass much, but the running of Brensinger and fellow junior Kaiden Brown combined for 150 yards on the ground.

"They had some big runs," said Neshaminy coach Steve Wilmot.  "The thing about the Wing-T (offense) is they wait for you to make a mistake, and they take advantage of it."

Neshaminy was plagued by mistakes, as the yellow flag of the officials kept fluttering to the ground. Neshaminy ended up getting called for 10 penalties for 95 yards.

"We had a lot of penalties," said Wilmot. "A lot of holding, a couple of personal fouls. Too many mistakes."

As Neshaminy tried to come back after Brensinger's TD and Murray's conversion, an offside penalty proved costly on its last drive. On the final play of the game, Neshaminy's strong-legged kicker, Kaden Nicastro, was a few yards short on a 52-yard field goal attempt.

As for Brensinger, he is happy there is probably more football for him to play this season.

"I hadn't made any plans for the weekend," he said. "I'm ready to play."
