Top 5 Games for week 2 in District 3

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>1)Central Dauphin at Wilson. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Two 0-1 teams playing in this game. Central Dauphin is a talented team that lost to Central York in a game featured by [player_tooltip player_id='255055' first='Juelz' last='Goff'] of Central York who scored 6 touchdowns. Wilson lost to a super-talented Roman Catholic team. Both teams will be hungry to play this game and I expect both teams to bring their best games. Whoever loses this game to fall to 0-2 will still have a shot at a successful season, but it will put them in a hole for the season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2) <strong>Hempfield at York High.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hempfield played a strange week one game against Dallastown. They were down 14-0 at the half and stormed back to win the game 16-14. They played a bad half of football and then turned around to play a good half of football to get the win. It is interesting to see which team shows up. York High struggled against Harrisburg, in a 50-20 loss. No shame in losing to a state power like Harrisburg, but York High is looking to avoid going 0-2 for the 2nd straight year. Both teams should compete in their respective Leagues, but whoever loses this game will lose a chance at building some momentum going forward. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>3) <strong>Cedar Crest at Central Dauphin East</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cedar Crest and Warwick both had week 1 wins. Cedar Crest beat Northeast out of Philadelphia 24-0. Central Dauphin East beat Reading 55-6. Both teams play in tough leagues, but they also have a lot of talent to compete in both leagues. For both teams, a chance to start 2-0 would be a good opportunity going forward. I expect a spirited game between them. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>4)<strong> Manheim Central at Smyrna (Delaware) </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It is a very rare occurrence that a Pennsylvania team will go out of state to play an opponent. Manheim Central is traveling to play Delaware State High School power Smyrna. Smyrna is coming off a 12-1 regular season where they won the DIAA Class 3A State Championship. Manheim Central is coming off an 11-2 season and our bringing back the bulk of the team from last year. They have a loaded team returning and had an impressive week-one win over West Chester East 56-0. This is the 1st game for Smyrna on the season. Should be an exciting game for both teams. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>5) <strong>Ephrata at Warwick.</strong> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ephrata beat Warwick last year for the 1st time since 2005. A huge win for the Ephrata football team against their long-time rival Warwick. Warwick won a gritty week one game against Cocalico 17-14 and looks like a much-improved team from last year. Ephrata won a barn burner 34-32 over Red Lion. This should be a fun game between rivals and I expect Warwick will want to see revenge and put their best effort into winning the game. Ephrata will not be an easy opponent. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
