That's unreal! Since the Salem Spartans have a huge game against William Fleming this weekend. I don't think they are going to lose, but if they do it will be the first time they have lost two of their first three games since 2002. That is also incredible. Kudos to these teams who have maintained such a fantastic winning tradition. Good stuff @CRF4Dan .

I believe I saw in the paper a couple weeks ago that Steward is 6’3” 225lbs. Just got the local paper for today and saw that vs. 4A Jamestown, he had 16 carries for 209 yards and 1 TD, and 163 yards came during the 1st Q. Speed back Holmes had 14 carries for 162 yards and 5 TDs. When Bundy returns from injury, and with an O line averaging about 297 lbs from Tackle to Tackle ( all can move ) and TEs at 6’4” 210 lbs. & 225 lbs. that's going to be a mean 3 headed monster coming out the backfield for defenses to deal with…along with other capable RBs. On the other side of the ball, Essex D is solid again this year.

I’ll tell you this the best thing that happened to Phoebus was losing to Oscar Smith 42-0 in 2021 because it inspired this run we are on now. Woke our boys up and humbled them and made them refocus.

Let me chime in. I think this is a very fair observation. I just think it's way too early in the season to say who's having a down year when it comes to the elite programs. What would be the reaction if and when Loren Johnson turns this thing around and HSHS is playing in mid December? People are pushing the panic button on Springs the same way they were pushing the panic button on Phoebus when they played in that scrimmage vs Maury. Champions build off adversity. Phoebus did that after getting embarrassed by Oscar Smith in 2021 and I expect Springs to do the same. They're a proven program with more of less talent. Great coaching and culture with championship proper
Pedigree.

I think HS will be in the hunt come playoff time. They are going through growing pains; O line and D lines will be fine once they gel, along with the new QB. They'll be ready! Don't count them out this early! We'll see what they (coaches and players) learned from Phoebus on Friday when another beast arrives at Kreiter Stadium! Go Springers! One loss or 2 losses does not define a season.

You talk about big homie embarrassing Phoebus but you’re going back and forth about some rankings that a random made on the net. Just my opinion. You’re better than that OG. Good thing Northern Illinois ain’t pay attention to the “real experts” last weekend. You and I both know that rankings don’t mean a thing. Phoebus has the best win in C4 and whether HS is down or turns out to be the C6 champs, it’s hard to win over there.
