I figured it would be fun to see where the current field would sit after just three weeks. Here we go. Please bear with me as this was done very quickly and may have some errors. I will comment on the games that I know anything about. Feel free to comment.
1. DTW 3-0 340 PTS
Missing points for West Mifflin. Big win over Neshaminy will get them a ton of points come crunch time. I've always been impressed with how prepared they are even if they are physically outmatched. When this coach gets talent they are that much better. Playing Kennent this week should be a mercy rule game.
2. PW 3-0 340 PTS
PW looks to be the only real challenge for Upper Dublin in the SOL American, PW has a pure athlete that the coach does a great job of moving around and getting him in space. Kid went 95 yards first play of the game against Souderton on a bad snap...............speed speed speed. Mixed with a little triple option and zone read. Chang always has his team ready. PW plays Upper Merion and should score 40..............in the first quarter.
3. CB East 3-0 340 points
East has an impressive win under their belt at Pennridge in overtime. It was a sloppy game but East has a strong QB in lamb who can run around you or over you......or just give it to Gibson. They play at 1pm on Saturday against THE ONE MAN SHOW CR NORTH. East will out score North as North may be the worst defense in the Suburban One.
4. Upper Dublin 3-0 330 Points
UD is the real deal and so is their QB. He can run it , throw it and has the size to be a D1 kid. I was more impressed with the 3-4 they play.....they are a high pressure attacking defense that creates turnovers. They will mercy rule Cheltenham this weekend. UD scares me as they wont be tested all year outside of PW later in the year. Its always a case of what happens when they punch someone in the face and they just smile and ask for more the first time.
5. Downington East 3-0 320 points
DTE is always well coached and Matta has been there forever. Their TE is a man child and its apparent he gained a ton of strength and worked on blocking technique this year as I though he was soft as TE last year. The kid is an ASS KICKER! They own on a controversial call against North Penn last week and that will will pay dividends when it comes down to the nitty gritty come play off time. They play Bishop Shannahan who last year was a tough out but Im not to sure about this year.
6. Coatesville 3-0 310 Missing points from the dc team they played this year.
Speed Speed Speed is the word at Coatesville as it is every year. Matt Artega has proven hiselft to be one of the better coaches in district one. They lay WCHenderson and should roll
7. Perk Valley 3-0 300 point
Perk Valley is always tough they run a no huddle fast paced offense and have the athletes to do it, Defensively they are an attacking 3-3-5 stack defense that gives spread teams fits. My only concern is that to of their three wins have come of BAD 3a teams............but in their defense, they beat em like they stole something, like they were supposed to. They should pound Owen J Roberts this weekend
8. Quakertown 3-0 310 points
This another team that I would say hasn't played anyone, 1 win for all three teams that they have defeated. But they do have a solid returning cast of athletes so I think they are for real. They are always tough on defense and on offense they have opened things up this year to utilize the talents of their tall qb who came back from wood. They play at number 9 Tennent this Friday
9. Tennent 3-0 300 points
Tennent is gunning for its first winning season since 2005, their first 3 opponents have 0 wins between them. This game is a great test for them and Quakertown. Winner essentially only needs three more wins to get into the playoffs and the loser is left second guessing themselves after beating up the sisters of the poor the first three weeks. Quakertown wins this one........big.
10. SpringFord 3-0 280 points
Brubaker has build a district power house over by grateford. They are in the playoff mix every year and thats what its all about. Consistency. My only question is...........Who have they played? a couple of 3a teams so its hard to gauge them. I don't see them being tested at all in the PAC. Maybe late in the year by Pottsgrove but outside of that I see them running the table and getting a high seed. Their no huddle and athletes are too much for Boyertown
11.Neshaminy 2-1 270 points
Steve Wilmont has seemed to right the ship after the Fredricks show left town. Neshaminy is back to doing what it does best. Lifting in the offseason and smashing people up front. I expect it to be them,Pennsbury, and Npenn for the National. They open league play with an Abington a team that is way down. Skins roll
12. Unionvillege 2-1 270 points
Unionville has developed into one of District ones more solid programs. They always seem to come into the SOLs backyard come playoff time and give em hell. They will get to 3-1 over rustin
13. Souderton 2-1 250 points
Souderton is always a tough out but in watching them vs PW its hard to see what they want to be on offense. They have been wing t for years but Gallagher has gone away from that an employed more spread sets and the use of the wing t out of gun. Be what you are.............They are very well coached and always have tough hard nosed kids. They open league play with a Pennsbury team that may just be too much
14. Truman 2-1 250 points
What a great story they are, A few years back they were quitting games at half time, last year they were on the cusp of the playoffs before inexplicably losing to Norristown. (all part of the learning process) They lost to one of the best teams in the district 38-7 and it was not even that close. If they took the easy route and played a soft schedule they could easily be 3-0. They open league play with CR South. This is going to be a great game. Two of the best option coaches in district one. I see south being too big up front and wearing the tigers down.
15. Pennsbury 2-1 240 points
I expect them to blow the doors off Souderton this week and lose one more game on the way......
16. Norristown 2-1 240
I like doing this early so we can talk about teams like this. Norristown is in their last year in the SOL before bolting to the PAC. Wouldn't it be something if they made some noise? They are always tough early on until the eligibility issues creep up. It has been that way for years. They will beat west and get to 3-1.
