3 Games that caught my eye...

This week offers a few good matchups in SEPA.

NP(-6.5) at Downingtown East
NP comes off a tough opening week loss to LaSalle and DEast routed an overmatched P-W squad. I think these two District 1 powers are looking to establish themselves in the 6A conversation. I love the fact that both teams are willing to play tough non-league schedules. The coaching matchup is one of the best around this weekend. I think Beck gets his squad ready for a visit to Kottmeyer and comes away victorious....NP 34-28

Coatesville (-8) at Cumberland Valley
Coatesville takes the long ride to Mechanicsburg to battle the always tough CV Eagles and their Wing-T. Coatesville is a legit threat out of District 1 6A with athletes all over the place. Soph QB Ricky Ortega looks primed to lead the Red Raiders deep into November/December this year after lighting up an underrated Simon Gratz team. CV didn't play in Wk 0 so this will be their opener. I like Coatesville's speed and experience over CV in a surprisingly easy win. Watch out for Coatesville this year-a big win here could put the rest of the state on notice...Coatesville 35-21

Academy Park at Unionville (-4)
Unionville handled a good Spring-Ford squad and the Indians are a solid if underrated squad out of Chester County. Academy Park is a rising force in the Del-Val and 5A with Coach Vosheski turning that program into one of the better teams in Delco. Unionville's D will have to be ready to stop RB Kareem Burton and the Knights speed. I like Unionville at home....Unionville 27-20

Some nice early season games on the docket this weekend! I'm going to attempt to make it over to Kottmeyer.

Paramus Catholic vs. Archbishop Wood-7 pm Friday night @ Tennent. Paramus, defending state champs, has been absolutely loaded the past few years. Interesting match up between PA and NJ powers.

Nice write up... I think Coatesville will be a force this year..AP has had some tough teams the last couple of years also.. I'm still mixed (maybe scorned) with the NP game. I watched the replay a few times on NPTV. Not to take anything away from LS (they played a great game) but this year NP will have a lot of holes to fill. Once they hit a wear SOL schedule they should have a chance and build their confidence..

Newman, yes it is Saturday. My bad...these catholic schools throw me off by not playing Friday nights!
