Each week during the 2021 season we’ll offer some news, notes, tidbits and opinions from each of the five divisions in the Mid-Penn Conference.
Colonial Division Game of the Week is…
Best game on the slate this week features a couple teams coming off their best wins of the season. West Perry ran past Mechanicsburg, and Northern took East Pennsboro out behind the woodshed. The Mustangs will visit Robert F. Bostic Field in Dillsburg to trade paint with the Polar Bears. From my chair, West Perry has been forced to grind harder to get its three wins. Northern has been the more dominant squad of these two. No clue. I know the Polar Bears are the favorites, which suits the Mustangs just fine.
Looking for a bounce back performance:
Three squads are in bounce-back mode this week: East Pennsboro, Waynesboro and Mechanicsburg. I give East Pennsboro the best shot at a correction course with a matchup against struggling Susquehanna Township. Tough one for Mechanicsburg as division-leading Shippensburg pays a visit to the new-look John H. Frederick field. And Waynesboro, they will host fellow Franklin County mate Greencastle-Antrim. Something tells me that game is going to be a powder keg affair with plenty of back-and-forth.
