I almost want to concur with 84. Watching Penn against smyrna in their scrimmage I'm surprised they even scored on MERVO. Smyrna scored mainly because of that earthquake formation. because Mtown still didn't know how to defend it. It just wasn't as successful because Whaley doesn't have the break away speed that Knight did. So their drives were 6-8 mins long barring any turnovers. With out the earthquake, the Cavs held Smyrna in check. Penn will struggle. I think they will score, but not until the 2nd half. So maybe 7-12 points.
Can the green Sals' club handle Sussex Tech's quickness, intensity and athleticism? I don't think so...
It is difficult to say how good the Sals are... The last game was a walkover...
I was impressed by the Sals' sideline to sideline defense and lateral quickness on defense.
Their offensive line is so young that some of those kids just got potty trained.
Sussex Tech is a solid team. This will not be a walkover.
Rumor has it that Sals alums are getting a discount at Kreston Liquors. Is that true?

If Tech QB plays (#7) they will win, he is their best all around athlete but got hurt Milford game. Without him.... it’s hard to tell
And this will be Woodbridge’s toughest game but they will win in a shootout! This Woodbridge team is foreal lol
No chance they beat sallies without him and very little chance they beat them with him
They didn’t on offense. The score was a pick 6. Offense was awful. 30 rushes for 53 yards. 2-12 for 31 yards passing.
I want to add that I think, right now, with only a week one sample size, that Delmar and Woodbridge is a top 5 team in the state of Delaware. D1/D2 combined. So therefore how Dover does against Woodbridge will be their test in my opinion. For years we all have said Dover has the skill:talent, and numbers to be a top team but they can never put it all together. What worries me with both Delmar and Woodbridge is IF they had to go up against a spread offense that can score at will, will they be able to keep up, or slow down said offense because Dover looks like they can score at will. We already know Delmar and Woodbridge has the horses to put up numbers on offense. I would be highly intrigued of a A.i vs. Delmar/Woodbridge match up.
Your probably right. Seeing that after Middletown, Smyrna, Hodgson, and Sallie's it drops off big time.
40-50 on Delmar and or Woodbridge???? I wouldn't say that. At least not until I see how The Dover/Woodbridge game goes. I'd say any of those 4 are no more than Two touchdown favorites
HS, don't you remember what delmar did to AI last year in the playoffs? it was ugly, delmar has 90% of there team back.
I see dover beating the bridge, carvel beating st. marks, central losing to queen anns, and seafor beating fsma
Southguy.....I do remember. However I think this years A.i. Team is much improved from last years team. Not that Delmar can't improve as well. I just see that game going differently right now. A.i. Has certainly closen the gap between them.
Middletown put 41 on Smyrna and it could have been 55-58. They will put 40+ on every team except for Hodgson and Sallie's. Any D2 team gets a running clock.
Sorry but whatever your point is has no clout on the gridiron when the game plan is in high gear.
Why the denial? Sals folks have to realize that sometimes the Sals play teams that are bigger, stronger, quicker, more athletic and more intense. I put Sussex Tech in this category.
Sorry clones.
I might agree with you here. Sallies and Middletown is ALWAYS a tough game. No matter who's ranked where or who is playing. Both teams know each other so well it's an ultimate chess match. Hodgsons defense was solid all last year and despite losing some talent up front, they are more than capable of slowing down any team. I think their biggest test will be DMA until they meet with Middletown.
Uncle Bum up you are talking crazy. Sals always the most disciplined and truly does have more talent than tech. Overmatches them by a lot at every skill position with Kane hurt.
Strictly from a talent perspective in no particular order
Middletown Smyrna Delmar Woodbridge Dover
Those teams have the most overall talent in Delaware. Splitting hairs here.
Coaching and gameplan will be what separates them. Injuries also of course would play a role. A running clock would Be hard to see unless the gap in coaching is so wide. I cannot speak on that.
Sorry bud .But Middletown's passing and running game is the best in the state by a lot. Not a little. A lot. On top of that there line is bigger and stronger this year than it's in several years. They probably are the most technically sound group in the state. Extremely well coached up front. Come watch a game and you'll see what I'm talking about.
Bold, but it did come against the team that beat them in the title game two years in a row. Still think Hodgson's defense will have something to say about it, but Middletown's gonna walk over pretty much everyone else, with the exception of Sallies.
