Upon engaging in some serious and thorough film study I realized that DMA cannot beat certain teams but they can beat certain teams. To be exact, I think that they are good enough to get wins against some teams, but not quite good enough to get wins against some teams. I actually just watched 7 hours of DMA film to see what all the hype is about and I realized that what they do is what they do. Their line lines up great which is good and their running backs run good so I don't see what the fuss over this team is. Also their throwers seem to be pretty good at throwing, so not sure if that is a radical view but I think they're good. Now for the specifics, I think DMA is a very bad team because they don't seem to be good. I feel forced to compare them to other teams in the country and they don't seem to stack up well against teams like IMG Academy and Long Beach Poly. I actually just got back from a scouting trip in Florida and California to see if it is wise to put LBP and IMG on my team's (I will not reveal who my team is) schedule in the next cycle. Feel free to comment your thoughts on DMA...
A serious note on the topic of DMA Football....

Good grief man, take a breath and try paragraphing some of that.. You think your telling us stuff we don't already know? Or did you just need to vent?

"And it’s the reason teams coached by Judy , and Manlove walk through most competition in the state."
Manlove? Doing great now but that is helped by in influx of players and students..Been at WB since 2009 last year was the first time he has made the play-offs since he has been there. I am not saying he isnt a good coach just he hasn't been walking through anyone in DE.. except maybe Seaford

WB also made the playoffs in 2015 as the 7 seed with a 7-3 record
They beat the 2 seed DMA in the first round 12-7 / ( a one-and-done for DMA )
& then lost to St Georges in the semis 33-14
correct just saw the 4 losses didn't pick up on one was a Playoff loss.. nice catch thanks

dont really know or care I havent been here long enough.. ask some of the natives but would have to say Delpercio was as he was consistently successful year after year no matter what studs they graduated.. I am not at anyone's practices to see what they do so there is that
It's not the X's and O's it the Jimmy and Joe's! Dont't get me wrong I agree with alot of what your saying. But please stop saying it all coaching. IMG is getting the best of the best and Judy had studs in Henderson and the other RB who left. Where symrna be without Knight this year? Delaware has bad coaching but there is only 2-3 possible P5 D1 players in the state in a given year. Football talent at each school is cynical unless you heavily recruite like the schools you mention.

Tough to win with cynical talent.. I would venture to say a coach that can win with cynical talent might be a pretty good coach..
Delaware is generally right in line with most HS in the country. You have good coaches and bad coaches as do anywhere. You have dumb coaches some with minimal football knowledge and some that make you say wow but at the end of the day these are HS kids where your luckily if you get 10-15 to pick football over a girl or a party. You can be the most basic coach but have 2-3 stud athletes and a decent line you can do what Howard did 2 years ago and what Woodbridge did last year.
You want a chance to win a HS State championship in most of the country. If you don't have a full team (15-20 good players) just recruit 1 dynamic game breaker and 10 people with effort at the level you play and you can make somethings happen anywhere.

Sorry, I'm too cynical to agree with you on this one!
This is probably the best post on his board. Hit the nail on the head with this .
So name all the Sr players in this year that currently hold Power 5 offers? Roberts of the top of my head who else?
So why is Newark not still a power house huh?
"
DMA can win and lose to any given opponent, as can every other sports team in the world. "DMA cannot beat certain teams but they can beat certain teams" Thats the point of winning and losing
Pretty sure all of these players have atleast 1-2 D1 Offers
Will Knight
Kedrick Whitehead
Bam Roberts
TJ Thomas
Shawn Bowman
Vaughn Wood
Malik Banks
Fred Durham
Matt Tynes
Amod John
Jalik Hayward
Isaiah Wilson
Reggie Grinald
Jeremiah Carter
Mandela Montgomery
Josiah Larkins

ummmm.. no they won't probably not even half.. many will play D2 or D3 though but the guy said power 5 offers.. SEC, BIG10, Big 12, ACC, PAC 10
I guess you don't know what Power 5 means, not taking anything away from these players.
Kenneth Edelin has one D1 offer as well, if I remember correctly.
NOT an offer, but Drew Fry just recently took the invite and visit to Syracuse.

No he didn't please do some research before just saying stupid stuff that's just not true!
Just some surrounding states and some football known states from Maxpreps: (I'm going to pick the highest rated team or class not the everybody get a trophy classes some states have)
Maryland - WCAC DeMatha -
Penn - St. Joe Prep
NJ - Paramus Catholic
NY - Troy
Others:
Nevada - Bishop Gorman
Ohio St. -Xavier
Oklahoma - Union
Texas - Lake Travis, Desto
California St. John Bosco
Illinois - East St Louis
Michigan - Case Tech
Some of those names look familiar, I guess that they just lucked up and got one stud and couple of role players, get real! Yes, if you want to win a title in a state that has 20+ classifications like the Amish/Deaf school classification your right!

According to 247 which is more accurate than Rivals but not 100% accurate only these have D1 offers
2018
W Knight UD commit
G Roberts Neb, UMass, NC, Rutgers and Cuse
M Banks UConn commit

That's 3 even though Roberts offers are the only P5 schools Nebraska, North Carolina, Rutgers and Syracuse.
Simmon your statement is true just because you are naming state champions but the my statement was spawned from talking about size of OL/DL and DE HS talent. Based on that like I said DE is right in line with most of the country simply looking at it DE is small so yes it only has 2 divisions. But a majority of the country has at least 4+ classifications and most of DE HS would be in the middle to bottom half of those.
Your listing catholic schools with sport emphasis and larger schools that most DE schools would never face. Only school that would come close is Sallies and they would be in the middle of the pack in St. Joes Conference and WCAC at the same time their style of play would change too but that’s another topic.
Put Middletown in MD 3A or maybe even 2A don’t know exact numbers
Put Smyrna NJ Group 3 or 4
Put McKean in VA 2A or 1A where the numbers match and they can compete.
Do that and everything I said is true.
