The lines in the sand are starting to become clear.
In the first week of play for Division I, three of the four games were decided by 25 points or more, with South Western pummeling Dover, William Penn trouncing Red Lion and Central York pulling away in the fourth quarter against Spring Grove. Dallastown only won by eight points against New Oxford, but it was on the road against a legitimate program, so it still has to be a big positive for the Wildcats.
So there they sit at the top of the division. There's the seemingly unstoppable Bearcats, who cruised to another easy victory, the Panthers, who have discovered new life after getting thumped at home by West York to open the season, the Wildcats, who seem to always find a way to win, and the Mustangs, who have labeled themselves the Redeem Team after last year's last-place finish.
They all think they have a shot at the top-spot. For at least one more week they have reasons to believe.
In Division II action, Susquehannock picked up its first victory of the season against a Northeastern team that hasn't scored a point since the month of August and Littlestown outscored York Suburban in a 56-42 shootout.
Among the league's smallest school's York Catholic rebounded from it's loss to the Trojans in Week 3 by shutting out a York County Tech squad that has lost 13 consecutive games dating back to 2007. Delone Catholic shut out Biglerville, making it clear to anyone who wasn't aware that the Squires are well-prepared to defend last year's Division III title. Bermudian earned another victory against a Fairfield team that remains winless.
There was also this running back from West York who set some sort of school record or something with six touchdowns in the first half against Hanover you may have heard of named Brandon Real. Somebody really needs to give that kid a nickname. Let's go with The Highlight Real for now until someone can think of something better.
In fact, go ahead you post your suggestions in the comments section below, along with any other notable thoughts regarding an eventful week on the gridiron. It's completely painless, I swear.
