Middletown vs Friendship Collegiate Academy (DC)
- Thread starter SwagDog
- Start date
I think it will be a competitive game. As I said on another thread FCA isn't like they were when Coach Rahim was there. They play mostly a local public schedule with the one big game. This year it was Dematha and Dematha had a down team this year for them anyway and they tuned FCA up. Doubt you will see DeMatha or anyone like that on their schedule next year. They are playing for DCIAA championships in which they lost this year to Ballou no National aspirations. The Hun school is no big deal

In my opinion, Hun (NJ) in most years would be in top-6 in Delaware, and typically fields four OL/DL 290+. MT will be fav vs FCA, but I’d expect an interesting game.
So are you saying that Woodson, Spalding, and Riverdale Baptist are pushover teams? Woodson is in the city league Chip every year (my wife went there when Leftwich was QB there). Where do you think D1 DE schools would stack up against them???
I don't think much of the DCIAA so winning that is no big deal. I think the top of DE D1 would have no problem with them. Spalding is a decent MIAA A team and would probably win D1 in DE.. Riverdale is hit or miss .. Look I am not saying FCA is not a good team just not what they were when Coach Rahim was there and they were recruiting like crazy,,, DCIAA/DCSAA reigned them in and they went on double secret probation after Rahim left to get back into the DCIAA playofffs. I am sure they are being watched like a hawk.. The players they get now are ones that cant get into one of the WCAC or IAC schools but don't want to go to a DC public.. DCIAA City teams arent even in the same stratosphere as WCAC or some of the IAC teams

Point being I don't think it is a bad game for MT to schedule. Its winnable and will be competitive for your players. The down side is FCA will count as D2 which could make it a must win game for MT depending where MT is in the points when the game rolls around
If you give any credence to CalPreps, Middletown would have won three of last four years (had they played), but no projected spread worse than ten pts.
Coach Hunter's record after Rahim and players left
2014 4-6* (inherited a brutal schedule with a depleted team)
2015 6-6
2016 10-2 DCIAA Champ
2017 8-4 DCIAA Runner Up
2016 and 2017 FCA played a much more toned down schedule. I don't believe FCA has any D1 offered players currently.. They are a good public charter school team not great but good

Actually looks like they do .. A WR going to Maryland and a DB going to Temple but both are SR's doesn't look like they any D1 prospects as of yet returning..
