Hopefully you're right. Very poor way to start the season.
PS that game goes our way by 2 touchdowns if LB4school stayed
Goes our way by 6 touchdowns if Nolan were still here. I miss him so much ;(

Not as exciting as the Middletown/Smyrna game (would loved to have been there!), but Woodbridge beat Cambridge 37-13. As advertised, lots of talent at the skill positions (Haynes, Brewer, Wescott and Kane), line will have to keep improving to have a chance at making another title run but held up pretty well against a much larger Cambridge line. Too many penalties though.
Well that is HS football, Kids come and kids go every year but in the end its just a kids game and its just that a game were just spectators . Just like a movie we may not like how it ends but its still a good movie

In week one, lot's of players and coaches make some bad decisions. They don't know exactly what they have, winning is important, but not at the expense of shattering a guy you may need later in the season.
A tenth string receiver, is pretty far down on the depth chart. This would put him at the bottom of 2, five man spread formations. However, since it appears that this was not a passing situation, he may have put the player who had demonstrated the best hands fielding punts, in practice. The coach, who has coached a team to a State Championship or two, might have thought he was the right guy to have on the field in that situation.
The good news is, coaching staffs are always looking for help, so free to jump on in there.

Sals and William Penn sho
Sals and William Penn should be a real concern for both these "elite" State Champ final teams.
Years change and so teams. its hard to stay on top every year
You lost shut happens get over it you will probably get another shot.
And no offense Knight for 23 carries they did feed him and when you play MY in the playoffs they will have a better plan to stop him so you better that AN ready.
HS- this is exactly what people were saying last year with Glasgow. Easy to look good (10-0 vs Nobody). then a decent Caravel shut them down. But give him and the coaches some time-maybe it works out or maybe trophy chasing does not pay off.
I may have gotten ahead of myself. After watching the 1st qtr of Sals vs Concord I'd say Sallies will split with SMY/MT.
SALS being SALS, call then slow, call them not flashy if you will but they will win it all
I can't take anything away fro Middletown but Smyrna had a hiccup last night. They could have won by 2 TD's but they didn't. I just don't see the Slowskys being able to contain Knight.
Anyway, congrats to Blum for getting his first head coaching victory in an incredibly high profile game.
Cograts to the Slowskys for not getting any delay of game penalties in today's game.

I had the pleasure f being at the Middletown vs. Smyrna game on Friday night. The atmosphere was one of the best I've ever seen in Delaware... Smyrna side was packed wel before the opening kickoff.
One thing that surprised me was the size, or lack thereof of the Middletown players... Now im above avg in size being 6'6 285, but I didn't see a player that looked over 230 on the team when they walked by me! and that alone impressed me, esp with how their defensive line was able to penetrate at will against a much bigger Smyrna O Line.
Whitehead and fry looked as good as I expected. But Will Knight... he was heads and shoulders better than anyone on the field. I was confused as to why the Smyrna coaches took the ball out of the best player in the states hands! the earthquake formation was WORKING! why stop it? the transfer QB was awful, and they give him the ball late in the game?? Why take the ball out of the best player in the states hands??

Middletown has always lacked in the size department. The bigger line we have had, that I can remember was back in 2012 when they went 12-0. But they have always been quick and always has played wel against bigger lines. Not great, but well enough.
And I couldn't agree more, that was a poor coaching game on Judys part. Unless he figured it was week one, it wasn't going to hurt the team to try and experiment with Wilson. Hopefully he gets better or they will be using the Earthquake more than 90% of the time, and I wouldn't blame them. Until someone can stop it, that's their best offense.

Playing at Glasgow I don't think Wilson ever saw a defense close to as good as M town's. It's going to take time with him to get used to that offense. Definitely looked flustered. I believe they will figure it out though.
They won the first one without LB.
Hopefully the kid has better people mentoring him than you. It would be a shame if he ended up like you
