The Jenkintown football team took a giant leap in the right direction on Friday against Morrisville. A 20-point first qurater propelled the Drakes to a 47-14 win. In C.J. Szydlik's first win as coach of the young Drakes it was senior running back Jack Kinniry that led the charge. Kinniry tallied a interception while playing corner back, but it was his 248 total yards, with 207 of those yards coming on the ground. Kinniry scored one, 44 and 84 yards out. Kinniry has not seen the production he would have so far, but his persistant nature is why he is still the leading rusher for the Drakes as made his big day against the Bulldogs in Morrisville possible.

The Rams open up the league schedule with one of the more anticipated matchups on the schedule each season against the 2-2 Indians of Souderton. This year the Indians will get to show the Rams their new field for the first time as well as their defense that is putting opposing players on their back at a fast rate.
The Rams have put up some gaudy point totals in their first four games, but some may think they true test was the Golden Hawks week three and that was failed miserably. The strengths of each team will be match up on Friday as the big Red's defensive front takes on the Rams' running game.
Jesse Knepp and Brandon Cope star in a deep backfield with multiple ball carriers, but the Indians do not allow that many big plays on the ground. Knepp and Cope are capable of beating the best defenses so the Indians are not going to be able to fully rely on their run stoppers and will need some solid play from their offense skill positions.
Friday will be the perfect chance for the Rams' Kyle Peters to show what he flashed glimpses of in week one. After throwing for four scores against Haverford the senior signal caller passess have been fewer and further between. Coach Randy Cuthbert needs to trust his quarterback to move the chains and put up some points if they want any shot of beating the Indians on the road.
Even Cuthbert and Indians' coach Ed Gallagher is an exciting match-up, as two of the more respected coaches in the area square off it what always is a one-score nail biters. My early week gut leans me toward Souderton, especially after they handled the previously undefeated Central Bucks West squad pretty handedly.
