Last year’s State leader in touchdowns (19) picked up right where he left

off in 2002. Elijah carried the ball 22 times for 246 yards and 3 touchdowns (5,

27 and 19 yards) as the Saints stretched their unbeaten streak to 13 games

(12-0-1) with a 42-14 win over the Maret School. Elijah showed his versatility

by leading the team with 6 tackles and forcing a fumble from his free safety

spot.  

Jacobs, FB/LB Nick Rossi and senior G/LB Dan Mita. Rossi and Mita helped

clear the way for an offense that scored five touchdowns in a 36-8 trouncing of

West Nottingham (Md). On defense, the stellar linebackers notched 13 tackles

apiece. Moyer was the star of the game, rushing for 4 touchdowns (2, 22, 10 and

26 yards) and Jacobs scored on a 40 yard run and drilled a 21 yard FG as the

Hillers evened their record at 1-1.  

Rodney Young. Felton completed 6 of 9 passes for 115 yards and 2 touchdowns

(49, 5 yards) and added 98 yards rushing as Lake (2-0) mauled Polytech (0-2)

32-0. The electrifying Young broke the century mark for the second straight

week, carrying the ball 12 times for 115 yards and a touchdown. For the season,

Felton has completed 10 of 19 passes for 201 yards, 3 touchdowns and one

interception while Young has carried the rock 27 times for 311 yards and 1

touchdown. Both players will need to bring their ‘A’ games to the field in

the next two weeks as the Spartans visit D-I powers Caesar Rodney and Dover. 

entire Viking defense. The powerful Barbato lead the way with 3 rushing

touchdowns as Coach Joe Hemphill’s team rebounded from a season opening loss

to Mt. Pleasant to dominate the Delmar Wildcats (0-2) on their home turf, 34-0.

The Vikings defense completely stifled the Delmar offense. In fact, the furthest

the Wildcats were able to march in the game was the St. E’s 47 yard line. 

Lemon and junior WR Andrew McKeefery. The Wright to Lemon connection

accounted for 128 of the Spartans (2-0) 238 yards passing in a hard fought 34-12

win over Concord (1-1). The pair hooked up 7 times in the game, including 29 and

38 yard passes that helped set up two second half touchdowns. Mckeefery had 4

receptions for 51 yards and two touchdowns, giving him 4 touchdown grabs in two

games. Wright has been on fire, completing 33 of 47 passes for 466 yards, 5

touchdowns and just one interception in two games. 

Schmidt, C/LB Joe Todd and freshman DB Dean Sutton. Brown is starting to

look quite comfortable in his first year as the Wildcats’ starting QB. On

Friday night, he fired 2 gorgeous touchdown passes to Mike Schmidt and

scored on a superb 34 yard, tackle breaking, touchdown run as Howard (2-0)

rolled past Delcastle (0-2) 28-16 at Baynard Stadium. Schmidt scored on a

perfectly thrown, 29 yard fade in the first quarter and then split a double team

to score on a 31 yard post pattern in the second quarter. Todd was dominant on

both sides of the ball. The 5 foot 10, 249 pound, senior used his quickness to

wreak havoc in the Delcastle backfield and intercepted a pass, returning it 35

yards to extinguish the Cougars comeback hopes. The hard hitting Sutton

intercepted a first half pass and then opened the second half with a succession

of pad popping hits to fire up the Howard defense.  

Hollingsworth and junior WR Jeff Scarborough. McMillan had a hand in five

touchdowns as the Quakers rocked Princeton Day, 42-8. Hunter completed 9

of 14 passes for 125 yards and 3 touchdowns (8, 45 and 10 yards) and carried the

ball 5 times for 26 yards and 2 touchdowns (15 and 10 yards) as the Quakers

improved to 2-0. Hollingsworth took a punt 70 yards for a touchdown on his way

to racking up 147 return yards. Scarborough made just 2 catches but both went

for scores (45 and 10 yards). The Quakers have now scored a State leading 86

points in just 2 games. 

and junior RB Sam Cotton. Perkins completed 12 of 19 passes for 148 yards

and 2 touchdowns as the Yellowjackets (2-0) posted a huge 26-14 win over highly

touted Caesar Rodney (1-1). Jon Lanouette caught 5 passes for 128 yards,

including a game winning 5 yard touchdown pass from Perkins that put Newark

ahead to stay, 19-14, with 3:15 left in the game. Cotton had his second straight

big game, rushing for 195 yards on 31 carries, one touchdown and catching a pass

for another. Super Sam leads the State in rushing with 423 yards on 66 carries. 

Willie Fowler. Bittner threw 3 touchdowns passes for the second straight

week as Caravel (2-0) knocked off Seaford (0-2) 26-13. Two of those passes went

to Fowler, who is now tied with St. Mark’s Andrew McKeefery for the

State lead with 4 touchdown receptions. Bittner has been the most surprising

player on the State’s most surprising team. Justin leads the State with 6

touchdown passes as he leads the Bucs into this weekend’s crucial showdown

with 1-0 Milford. 

Delcastle at Howard. Howard was clinging to

a 20-16 lead with a little more than six minutes remaining in Friday’s game

when the skies opened up and heavy rain began to fall.  

The Wildcats had a second and 8 with the ball at

the Delcastle 34 yard line. Quarterback O. J. Brown faked a handoff up

the middle and ran to his left. The willowy, 6 foot 1, 165 pound Brown appeared

to be going down when he collided with three Cougar defenders at the 30 yard

line.  

However, O.J. kept fighting, furiously pumping his

legs as he slithered through the defense and broke free for an amazing 34 yard

touchdown that put the finishing touches on Howard’s 28-16 victory. 

Newark at Caesar Rodney. This highly

anticipated, rain delayed, Monday night showdown lived up to all the hype. 

Caesar Rodney, trailing 19-14, had driven to the

Newark 40 yard line behind 2 passes from Josh Coveleski to Blair

Newman with less than three minutes left to play.  

On first down, the Riders fumbled on a botched

handoff attempt and Newark’s Esterville Cotton, brother of star running

back Sam, picked up the ball and raced 62 yards for the clinching touchdown in a

26-14 road victory.
