High school football games to watch

Ted Silary on the city leagues

Public AAAA Red

Northeast at Washington

Today, 3 o'clock

Northeast's Malik Stokes and Washington's Aaron Wilmer are fun-to-watch quarterbacks, but cast your eyes at least a few times along the line of scrimmage. Washington's Sharrif Floyd is one of the country's top prospects.

Catholic AAAA

SJ Prep vs. Judge, at Northeast

Tonight, 7 o'clock

While much of the early season attention has gone to Prep and La Salle, Judge has quietly gone about its business waiting for Statement Time. Prep thrice has rallied from double-digit deficits to win. Falling into a hole against Judge is not advised.

Nonleague

West Catholic vs. Wood, at Wissahickon

Tomorrow, 1 o'clock

Each school advanced to a state final a year ago. West (AA) still has a dynamite offense. Despite heavy losses to graduation, Wood (AAA) shows no inclination to go away.

Mike Radano on South Jersey

Bishop Eustace at Cinnaminson

Tonight, 7 o'clock

Bishop Eustace will head up Route130 a slight favorite but that should be nullified upon arrival at Cinnaminson. This should be a tight defensive contest with the winner getting a boost in the Burlco Olympic National Division.

Paulsboro at Haddon Twp.

Tomorrow, 10:30 a.m.

Paulsboro has history on its side as these two Colonial Conference mainstays square off just across the street from Newton Creek. The Hawks are 3-0 and would love to send a message to not just the Red Raiders but the entire Group 1 field.

Washington Twp. at Pennsauken

Tomorrow, noon

The host Indians had a wakeup call last week in a thrilling, 22-21 win over Lenape. Pennsauken needed senior Gerry Phillips to make a great tackle on a 2-point conversion with just over a minute to play to hold on for the victory. Washington Township seems comfortable with its newly installed spread offense as both squads look to remain undefeated.

Joseph Santoliquito on Delaware County

Dunbar (D.C.) at Glen Mills

Tonight, 7 o'clock

The 2-2 Bulls could use some help after surrendering 72 points in their last three games. Dunbar won't be easy. The Crimson Tide is 4-1 and averaging 44.8 points over its last two games.

Academy Park at Penn Wood

Tomorrow, 10:30 a.m.

Both teams come into their Del-Val League opener with 4-0 records. Both feature offenses that could post big numbers, with Penn Wood averaging 34.7 points a game and Academy Park averaging 25.7 points a game. The one glaring difference is Penn Wood's defense, which has faced slightly better opposition.
