Covering suburban Philadelphia's high school sports scene.

Art Class

Week Six of the high school football season is almost over and by now there's been enough action to get a good idea of what the landscape looks like at this point.

The Suburban One National reminds me of the nation's favorite tedious carnival activity - Sand Art. Not shaped by a bottle, but basically stratified into three components. You got the heavyweights in North Penn, Neshaminy, and CB South, then Abington and Bensalem right now in tier two, Pennsbury just behind, and winless Pennridge and Truman at the bottom.

Preseason, the though was maybe Abington could break into the top spot usually reserved for NP, Neshaminy and Pennsbury. But losses to the 'Skins and South have the Ghosts at 3-3 and thinking more about salvage playoffs dream rather than conference titles. And it doesn't get any easier with North Penn visiting Saturday.
Anyway, the layers might get a little mix this upcoming week when Neshaminy and CB South play in a battle of undefeated and Truman and Pennridge hit the field with the winner getting its first win. Then half this post will be worthless.

The PAC-10, meanwhile, appears to look like something created from my greatest pleasure- spin art. Squirting paint on a spinning canvas until it created a multitude of color circles. Best thing ever.

The conference can thank Pottstown for reopening the title race after it mega surprise 28-27 overtime win over previously undefeated Lansdale Catholic. It was just the third win for the Trojans since the start of 2005, and went winless in '05.

It was hard to even think the Crusaders were going to drop Friday's game after blasting Upper Perk the week before. But, hey, it happens, that's football and sports in general.

A four team race has now been created with LC and Perk Valley at 4-1 and Pottsgrove and Spring-Ford at 3-1. The conference wasn't decided until the final week last season, it may end up doing the same this year.
