What did you think of the first week of high school football? What team(s), player(s) or moments stood out for you? Post a comment below and we can chat about it.
Watched the PCC/Wood game on ESPN. Looked like PCC was a little deeper but all in all looked like 2 evenly matched teams. I know its early but PPC looks like they could be the team to beat in 4A. No disrepect to anyone else. Wood is clearly the team to beat in 3A even tho they lost. I know ACC is the defending champ but giving up 62 drops them a peg or 2. Long season tho and anything can happen.
@ paknightsfan – pretty bold statements to be making about a Pen Argyl team who opened up against a Saucon Valley team coming off consecutive 3-7 seasons and is picked to finish last in the Colonial.
J.P. McCaskey QB Jon Huylo passed for 349 yards and 3TD’s @ Coatesville in the spread offense. Also Wr Diante Cherry had 11 rec for 189 yards and 2TD’s..They will look to lead McCaskey tonight against York and get back in the win colume..
Delaware Valley beat Island Coast (Florida) 24-14. Island Coast’s RB Mario Pender committed to FSU already. Held him to only 60 yards on the ground. Very impressive win on a true road trip.
I agree Billy….Everyone needs to calm down. IF you attack a player, coach or team I won’t post your comment. It’s that simple. Show respect…we”re talking mostly about High School students here.
Sepa you think your some expert huh? Those sparq times and EsPn times are old times from his freshman and sophomore years. He hasn’t camped since 2 summers ago. So again your WRONG. His 40 was timed electronically on visits to Rutgers, Va Tech and Pitt. All in the 4.4’s from 2011 Anytime you want to come out to east let me know and we can end all the talk. Talk is cheap Guru and thats all you do is talk and hate.216 yds 3 yds against the #1 team in PA. I guess now ACC sucks right? lol
@ New Fan, As a former player for Garnet Valley, one of Coach Ricci’s mindsets for the two-platoon was that the other team would get tired over the course of the game and GV wouldn’t, but that was back when GV actually had 22 good players. They don’t have 22 good players anymore, they have like 5 and the defense now looks more tired than the other team’s star player that goes both ways.
All SPARQ and NFTC times are electronic buddy. Rivals can be entered straight from a player/coach submitted information sheet. I didn’t miss the 50 yarder either. He made one kid miss and had phenomenal blocking. He’s a really good RB but don’t kid yourself about the 4.4.
I agree with Buddy though. I thought that 40yd FG was good but I was surprised that Devlin didn’t try to get Colin Thompson more involved in the passing game. I understand he has a tremendous oline and two superb rb’s but you have the nations #1 TE according to espn playing the #22 team in the nation and he has one catch for 5 yards…?
@ James Loney, Garnet Valley needs to change fast. The days of not letting kids go both ways prevents you from having your best players on the field. They are not talented or deep enough to have kids only play 1 side of the ball. Defense was horrible.

Ryan Egolf had a great week. 8-10 165 yards 4 tds.
He didnt need to do anymore. He was pulled after half.
Wood did themselves proud against PCC. An excellent game that Wood could have just as easily won. No shame there. Kudos.
yet you miss the 50 yarder at the end? wow you justwant to be right. ok.
So only ESPN is official? lol. I knew you were to weak to admit defeat. FYI those aren’t official times on ESPN
