We are 5 games into the 22-23 high school football season and in southeastern Pennsylvania you’ll find me pacing the sidelines of the Suburban One League on Friday nights. The SOL consists of the American, Continental, & National conferences and is comprised of 23 teams throughout Bucks and Montgomery counties.
American
| TEAM | LG | OVR |
| Upper Moreland | 1-0 | 4-1 |
| Springfield-Montco | 0-0 | 3-1 |
| Cheltenham | 0-0 | 3-2 |
| Plymouth-Whitemarsh | 0-0 | 3-2 |
| William Tennent | 0-0 | 1-3 |
| Wissahickon | 0-0 | 0-5 |
| New Hope-Solebury | 0-1 | 1-4 |
The American conference looks to go through Upper Moreland(5A) at this time though Springfield-Montco(4A), Plymouth Whitemarsh (5A), & Cheltenham(6A) may have something to say about that. They beat New Hope-Solebury 35-14 in league play and have outscored their opponents 166-82. So far Upper Moreland’s Sr RB No. 5 Stephen Broderick has impressed me and look for him to have a dominant second half of the season as he’s already accounted for 797 yards rushing on 94 carries with 13 TDs.
Continental
| TEAM | LG | OVR |
| Souderton | 2-0 | 4-1 |
| (1) Upper Dublin | 1-0 | 5-0 |
| Quakertown | 1-0 | 2-3 |
| Council Rock South | 1-1 | 2-3 |
| Bensalem | 1-1 | 2-3 |
| Hatboro-Horsham | 0-0 | 1-3 |
| Council Rock North | 0-2 | 1-4 |
| Harry S. Truman | 0-2 | 1-4 |
As it stands right now the Continental Conference will be decided between 2 6A squads (Souderton or Quakertown) or 5A stud Upper Dublin. The PFN staff has UD ranked as the #1 team in the State. As of now, the Cardinals are the team to beat. They have a very potent offensive attack lead by Senior QB No. 9 Colin O’Sullivan who has completed 66% of his passes on one hundred attempts for 1,112 yards. He has 14 TDs while only tossing 2 INTs. Souderton and Quakertown both play each other this week so the picture should be a little clearer.
National
| TEAM | LG | OVR |
| Central Bucks East | 2-0 | 5-0 |
| Pennsbury | 2-0 | 4-1 |
| Neshaminy | 1-1 | 3-2 |
| North Penn | 1-1 | 2-3 |
| Central Bucks West | 1-1 | 2-3 |
| Pennridge | 1-1 | 2-3 |
| Central Bucks South | 0-2 | 3-2 |
| Abington | 0-2 | 2-3 |
Central Bucks East (6A) is the top dawg through the first half in the National conference. The Patriots are already 2-0 and look to keep things rolling. The division picture will also look a little clearer after they meet with Pennsbury this Friday night. Pennsbury is 4-1 on the year and 2-0 in the conference after a previous losing streak that started in 2019 and ended this season with their 35-0 victory over William Tennent. East’s Senior running back No. 21 Ethan Shine is a tank. He’s at 1,004 yards on the season with 13 TDs. Pennsbury is paced by SR running back No. 24 G. Mulbah who has rushed for 606 yards and 9 TDs.
Biggest Surprises: North Penn’s overall record at the hallway point (2-3), Pennsbury’s record so far (4-1) overall & (2-0) in conference, & CB East being undefeated.
Game of the Year nominees: (5A) Upper Dublin’s come from behind win over (6A) North Penn 32-28 or CB East’s double overtime thrilling win against Pennridge 16-13.
