We should start posting this every year but is this the year Sallies finally gets beaten by a Delaware team? Defensively, they're incredibly talented and they have two faceoff guys who are not dominant like Reeder but still very good. Offensively, for the most part, the last few years they've created out of the midfield and the attack finishes. The attack remains outstanding at finishing but the midfield is very young. This year might be the best chance for a Delaware team to knock them off. I say this year because by next year that midfield is going to go from young and talented to fairly young and dominant and Sallies is always going to have attackmen who can finish and long, athletic poles. It would take a perfect game from Cape, CR, Archmere, or Tower Hill but I think there is an outside chance.
On a side note I miss the days when there was no one dominant team in Delaware. Granted the only teams that have ever won a state title are Tatnall, CR, Cape, Tower Hill, Sallies, and St. Andrew's but at least there was an open competition instead of every team playing for 2nd place. I think a lot of it has to do with talent in and around Delaware that would've typically split between upstate private schools is now heading much more to Sallies. But, oh well, it is what it is.
