   this middletown team is the real deal this year..they have a young and tough team.Rodney Ramsy is a solid back who had a spectacular year.The A.lupia and trey Mcelwee connection this year has worked just near perfection. The senior line and very strong defence gets better every game. If you didnt know about the new kicker this year then your missing a phenominal player. He has had an amazing year putting many kicks in the endzone and making big extra points along with a 36 yard field goal. If it comes down to it this week they can use him for a big field goal but if the team shows up to play it wont be that close! GOOD LUCK MTOWN
