There could be an upset or two. Weather will play a factor in a game this weekend. A lot of sloppy play. Interesting to see how AI vs McKean will go as of now they are starting as the rain starts. Will that effect the passing game of AI if so will they be able to pound McKean.

Woodbridge @ St. Marks 7pm (Friday) Woodbridge wants to run anyway. St. Marks tries to stay balance. Who will protect the football be able to score?

How will a rainy night effect the Saturday games? Rain all day with gusty winds. If the forecast stay true will the messy conditions give teams a shot on muddy fields.

Howard @ Mount
St. E's @ ANC

The salty nut butter will be deep also luckily the AI team loves to slurp it up quickly
 
Thursday 10/25

DMA vs FSMA (DMA)

Friday 10/26

CR , Brandywine (Brandywine upsets CR without Robinson)
Smyrna, Tech (Smryna still the 3rd best henlopen north team)
AI , McKean (A.I, would love to see McKean win but has happened in years)
Central , Cape (Central continues the run, probably a shut out)
Caravel , Dickinson (Caravel wins, poor Dickinson)
Tower Hill , Conrad (Tower Hill wins a boring one)
Milford , Indian River (Milford dominates on HC night)
Middletown , Newark (Not even a contest Middletown bounces back)
Dover , Polytech (Dover dominates, Peace goes for 200)
Archmere , Red Lion (Archmere continues their unnoticed domination of D2)
Woodbridge , St. Mark's (Pulling for Woodbridge, but this is the game to watch)
Delmar, Laurel (Delmar comes out early and often)
Westminster , Sallies (Sallies won't win this year but watch out next)

Saturday 10/27

Appo , Concord (Appo gets the win over a very bad concord team 28 points all year)
Hodgson , St. Georges (Hodgson blows out St. Georges, no answer for that D line)
Howard Mt. Pleasant (Howard rolls Mount)
Tatnall , Charter (Battle of the lowers, think Charter wins 2 in a row)
Christiana , Glasgow (Shame what happened to these 2 programs, I'll go Christiana
Lake , Seaford (Lake runs all over Seaford for the W)
ANC , St. E (appears Dooley magic is over outscored 70+ to 0 last two games. Gotta go ANC)

Can see the conditions being a factor and Mount has historically given Howard problems in recent memory. Cats need to stay focused and not turn the ball over.

Rain will be a factor the salty butter that would normally drip from the chins of Mount will be washed away giving them a real chance to win
