High School Football Predictions (winner in yellow)
District 1 AAAA
(16) Council Rock North at (1) Garnet Valley

Rasaan Stewart & PV has upset on the brain

(9) Upper Dublin at (8) Abington - It is shame that the Flying Cardinals spent most of their season undefeated to lost late to P-W and get matched up against the running stylings of Craig Reynolds. Not sure their was back like the Ghosts' senior in the American Conference.
(13) Unionville at (4) Neshaminy
(12)Spring-Ford at (5) Downingtown West - Taking the down the Chest-Mont champs will be no easy task, but the Rams are playoff tested from last year and have a dynamite defense. Not only if they had a consistent option under center.
(15) Perk Valley at (2) WC Rustin - Rustin started the year in a close game in Week One against P.V. rival Methacton and while a lot has changed, the Vikings have the ability to pull out a gigantic upset. Senior quarterback Rasaan Stewart could take over in this one. The PAC-10 team wins a shootout, loses a low scoring, defensive struggle.
(10) Plymouth-Whitemarsh at (7) Central Bucks West - A toss up if I ever heard of one, I tend to lean toward Connor Hanlon and the Colonials. Some many running options in Vega and Afflick. If they can keep the Bucks' Fitz from finding his three receivers it could go the underdog's way.
(14) Upper Darby at (3) Pennsbury
(11) North Penn at (6) Coatesville - The defending champs would probably beat most first round opponents by double-digits in this year's tournament, one that will give them fits is the Knights. The Continental Conference champs may not knock out the defending state runner-ups, but they certainly have a good shot.
