Truman scored 166 allowed 12 against Methacton, Avon Grove, Tennant and CR-South who have a combined won-loss of 2-14. But, they average 42ppg that says something good is happening there. Guys who’ve seen them would have to tell us if it’s the Wing-T, their considerable speed….maybe a solid coaching staff that is Pennsbury’s former staff, neutralizing some Neshaminy advantages.
Realistically, Neshaminy is the first legitimate team they’ve played and could come as a shock to them. They’ll be hit hard by a legit D1 team, not like the soft, poor tackling teams previously played. This is almost like going from the JV to varsity after rolling Methacton 48-0, Tennent 41-0 and CR-South 42-0. Interesting that a team like Avon Grove (1-3) slowed them down, losing 35-12. Whole different ball game coming to Heartbreak Ridge.
Having said that, they don’t have just good speed (from all I can read), but blazing speed with Akinwande (spelling?) and Saunders or Sanders who came in 2nd in 200-meter. So the Skins can’t let these guys get outside and will have their work cut out keeping that speed contained and in front of them. And Snelling has thrown a few Td passes keeping teams honest.
I think Skins need to come out and kick ass early, let them know who they’re playing, where they are and welcome to the Bigs, not letting them score early, getting any more confidence than they already have as a 4-0 team.
