We’re already halfway through the high school football regular season. The top seven teams in my poll all won last week so there’s only one change in the new rankings. Berks Catholic is replaced by Fleetwood at the #8 spot. The (1-4) Saints fell at home to Schuylkill Valley 18-16, …

Wilson-42, Reading-0 The (4-1) Bulldogs scored all 42 of their points in the first half. Jackson Becker returned a punt 28 yards for a touchdown less than three minutes into the game. Braydon Farrell took an interception back 29 yards for a score with 36 seconds left in the opening …

Wilson and Twin Valley switched spots at the top of my rankings. The Bulldogs’ defense was outstanding and Louisville commit Justice Hardy returned from injury against Manheim Township. The Blue Streaks were ranked #9 in the state in Class 6A by PennLive. They were held to 145 total yards, 1.6 …

Manheim Township came to West Lawn last fall and left with a 20-14 win that gave the Blue Streaks the Section 1 championship in the Lancaster-Lebanon League. “I still remember that game. I still have nightmares about that game. Knowing that feeling of losing to Manheim, I never want to …

The top three teams in my poll remain the same this week. Conrad Weiser and Wyomissing traded places. Fleetwood jumped into my rankings for the first time this year. Boyertown slipped one spot, while Gov. Mifflin fell out after its third straight loss. Twin Valley travels to Manheim Central on …

Wilson and Muhlenberg hadn’t met on the football field in 18 years. The (2-1) Bulldogs got off to a fast start in Laureldale and left with a 42-6 victory. Wilson’s defensive line was dominant and helped to give the offense tremendous field position. The Bulldogs scored touchdowns on their first …

There’s a new team at the top of my poll this week. Twin Valley moved up one spot after holding off Susquehanna Township 17-13 in Elverson. The Raiders travel to Bob Wolfrum Field on Saturday afternoon. Twin Valley beat Wyomissing 28-6 last year for its first victory over the Spartans …

Five of the top eight teams in my poll lost in Week 1. It’s important not to overreact to one game. It’s also important to recognize that not all wins are the same. Likewise, not all losses are the same. For example, Wyomissing, Berks Catholic, and Gov. Mifflin faced very …

It didn’t take long for Justice Hardy to make an impact with his new team. In fact, it happened on Wilson’s first offensive snap. The Wyomissing transfer ran off the right side, cut inside a terrific block by Mike Glover, and raced 50 yards for a touchdown at Gov. Mifflin. …

No more 7v7 practices. No more scrimmages. Football games that count in the standings begin on Friday across Pennsylvania. It’s a glorious time of the year! It was a wild offseason. Several notable players transferred to new schools. The grass isn’t always greener on the other side, but we shall …
