This
is it !!! High School Football 2011 Starts NOW
By
Joe Stokes September
2, 2011 The
long hot, then stormy summer is fading away and what better way to welcome
Autumn than a full dose of high school football. The Labor Day weekend is full
of action and with flood water from last week’s battle with Hurricane Irene no
longer a problem, let the games begin. The
first game of any season offers new hope for every team and this year appears to
offer a wide open race to the top. This week will give us early evidence of what
schools will making a championship run in October. Any
attempt to predict opening game results is full of deep potholes. How will new
coaches and players adapt?
Will returning players lead the way to more victories? Off season
conditioning and injuries are always a concern but we will attempt to break down
five games each week and guess, I mean predict some well reasoned outcomes. The
last five years, this future teller has a 214-79 prognostication record while
going 57-17 for the 2010 season. So
here we go. Will be watching Malvern Prep @ Ridley tonight. This contest
features a veteran Malvern squad while Ridley must rebuild with many key lineman
and skilled position players graduating last season. Running back Pat Randolph will be back but questions in the passing game and
defense have yet to be answered. Always tough to go against Ridley but an early
season loss would not prevent another great season for the Green Raiders.
Malvern just a little more ready on day one. Malvern
Prep 27
Ridley 19 Another
great matchup in Delaware County has Interboro traveling to Springfield. The
Cougars have a new coach Tom Kline
but a veteran QB Ryan Strain. The
Interboro Bucs have a veteran coach Steve
Lennox and a returning QB Josh Breen.
The Cougar signal caller ranked second in Delaware County last year with 1379
passing yards and will only get better this season. The Bucs are a great test
with a tradition for winning year in and year out. If the Cougar defense can
hold to the line this should be a good start for Springfield. Springfield
30 Interboro
21 The
rest of this week’s fearless forecast: North
Penn 24
LaSalle 16 Allentown
Central Catholic 35 Downingtown
East 14 Souderton
27 Neshaminy
