Let's get this going, 10/2 kickoffs!

North Penn looks to be the favorite again.


I can't wait to see how the Pennridge Rams will look as I'm hearing that they could be really good too.

Central Bucks West, the big surprise last year could also be interesting.


I'm hoping that Neshaminy and Pennsbury get going again this year as southern Bucks appears off.


Let's get some predictions?

Only 1/2 the season, so not clear how this can even finish out.

1. North Penn - Looks loaded on the lines and backs.
2. Neshaminy - Just expecting a change as they have been down recently.
3. Pennridge - Like what I'm hearing, big upfront.
4. Central BW - Like what they did last year; can they repeat?
5. Central BS - Big school, they should have something.
6. Pennsbury - Like Neshaminy, maybe they get something going again.
7. Abington - Surprised last year, can they exceed expectations again?
8. Central BE- no ideas.

Toughest Schedule: Neshaminy: Have to play NPenn, PRidge, CBucksW, and their rival Pennsbury.

Favorable Schedule: Pennridge: No NPenn, Bucks Schools and Quakertown.

But I guess we don't know who the alpha's are yet, besides the good bet on North Penn.

I’m surprised your post didn’t generate feedback but it was a good breakdown. I’m just doing District-3 this year after tackling the whole state for a while, the Mid State and other formats….depending on time available. Recently I’m in Florida a lot with a cousin falling off a horse, needing help on his cattle ranch in Avon Park. I’m too old for this shit but he’s older so what are you gonna do. But….I’m always interested in the entire state and will crank out what I can when I can. Here’s some views on the Suburban One.
North Penn: They’re always the alpha in my view in D1 (ChesMont rising!) but have fallen off the last few years in a discreet way. It’s not blatant like the early to mid-teens (2011, 12, 13, 14) where they couldn’t show basic pass defense against LaSalle and Coach Gordon (not picking a fight). Weird. It’s more subtle since they’re still hitting the win column hard enough going 9-3, 13-1 and 8-4 the last 3 years, BUT with un-North Penn like defenses allowing 27, 18 and 22 year ending points per game. Even in the spread era, those are high numbers for a program that has the numbers and tradition to aspire for deep playoff runs annually. The 27 allowed in 2017 is their worst ever. Apart from 2017, the 22ppg allowed last year was the most allowed in the last 20 years except for 2013 where they also allowed 22.
Neshaminy: The bottom really fell out last year for the Skins going to negative numbers scoring on average 28 a game while allowing 30. This follows a downward trend in the win column as well; 10-2, 8-4, 5-5. Seem to often under achieve with a boatload of talent.
Pennsbury: Also bad trending with Falcons the last 4 years going 5-5, 10-3, 5-6, 6-5. Maybe Coach Snyder (1 losing season in 14) wasn’t so bad. Into negative numbers 2 of 4 years in 2016 scoring 12 (?) allowing 19, then again in 2018 averaging 25 allowing 28.
Abington: Even Abington who had a strong run from 2005 to 2014 going 84-38 plummeted to 2-10, 6-5, 4-6, 4-6, 8-3 the last 5 years.
CB West: 4 winning seasons the last 14 years. Last year’s 10-2 outing follows 4-6 the previous, 6-5, 4-6, 3-7 and 2-8 in 2015 when they forfeited 2 games.
CB South: Just when you think they have it together, they fumble….since the 10-2 season in 2012 going 4-6, 7-4, 4-7, 8-3, 7-4, 4-6, 7-4 last year; all over the board statistically with no consistency.

Those have pretty much been the power brokers in the SOL and they’ve struggled making it a tough league to predict except as you mentioned in North Penn who are a given every year. It may all be settled in the openers of NP at Nesh, P-Rams at CBW, CBS at Abington.

Great stuff! I am on the other side of the state again but continue to follow the philly area. North Penn is very intriguing to me. Veteran big line , phenomenal back with exp, qb as a 9th grader shined when kolby barrow went down, kid will be big time as the years stack up. The O will put up numbers and carry them. I can’t remember the last time NP had a D that was Much better than average, at least from a numbers perspective. I like them to bounce back from their worst conference showing With two loses since 2012 when they were 6-4, Becks worst year ever.

Deep details for a D3 guy - impressive!

Anyone know playoff plans?
New Pennridge Wing-T is the most interesting development to watch in week 1.
Bucks, that’s surprising. Any clues why? Would it be because of Bucks success last year running wings?

No insight other than the assumption that Pennridge history plus HC coming from Souderton wing-t system makes it a natural fit. Spread offense seemed like a square peg into a round hole the last two years.
