Week 5 Lightning Round
More rain. Of course.
If you like it messy, these expected Week 5 conditions are for you. No matter what the weather, there are multiple intriguing matchups. A few quick takes below. Jump in with your own thoughts in the comment section.
Most desperate for points: Northeastern. The Bobcats have now gone three games in a row without scoring after it's opening its first season of varsity football with a blowout victory over East Juniata. Now Northeastern is in division play and travels to face York Suburban on Saturday. Before the Bobcats can even thing about winning again they have to focus on finding the end zone again.
Toughest next three games: Dallastown. The Wildcats are one of four Division I teams to start 1-0 in league play. The three others play Dallastown over the next three weeks, starting with South Western tonight before following with Central York next week and William Penn on Oct. 10.
Most likely to score a TD on special teams: West York's Brandon Real. It's been five consecutive weeks now finding the end zone on a kickoff or punt for the player I'm either calling The Highlight Real or Realdiculous. Commenter Mo suggested Realdonkulous, which is also pretty good. Any other ideas?
Most likely to get out of hand: William Penn at Dover. Nobody has come close to beating William Penn this season. Dover hasn't come close to beating anybody. The home fans should brace themselves before the 7 p.m. kickoff -- the Bearcats will almost certainly rack up a ton of points after scoring a season-low 48 last week. That's right -- a season-low 48.

As a proud 7th grade teacher and fan of Brandon Real I'd just like to say Brandon is the Real-Deal. I remember watching him play football on reward days and his athletic ability as a young man was unforgettable. The other students struggled to catch him as he darted and sprinted by each and everyone of them. I knew he would be a special talent and athlete some day. Way to go Brandon. I'm very proud of your accomplishments. By the way, he was a very good math student as well. Go West York. From sunny South Carolina, I'll always bleed Bulldog Blue.
