Some random thoughts as we prepare for Week 12 of the high school football season. At this point, we're down to a pair of area teams still playing: Trinity and Cumberland Valley.
District 3 Class AA
Bermudian Springs (7, 8-3) at Trinity (2, 10-1) -- This isn't the team Trinity expected to see but Bermudian Springs is hardly a pushover.
The Eagles routed previously unbeaten Littlestown, 37-0, Friday night. This team reminds us a bit of Delone Catholic in 2007. Remember, that was the sixth-seeded Delone team that upset top-seeded Trinity in the 3-AA final.
It's a tricky spot for the Shamrocks but they have two things in their favor: 1, they've been playing head and shoulders better than their competition for 10 straight weeks (that isn't a fluke) and 2, we can't see Bermudian pulling off back-to-back stunners. Expect the Shamrocks to be in the Hershey for the 3-AA final Nov. 26.
District 3 Class AAAA
Cumberland Valley (7, 9-2) at Wilson (2, 11-0) -- There really isn't much to say about this one other than the obvious. There's definitely bad blood between these teams.
In the 2008 district final, CV felt Wilson was less than classy during the latter's 35-7 win. The bad vibes returned in the semifinals last year when vulgarities were allegedly tossed from the Wilson student section toward CV as it entered Gurski Stadium.
That said, these teams have been above playing dirty and last year's 35-28 CV win was a classic.
We're not sure how good Wilson is (it feasted on the weak Lancaster-Lebanon I teams) and we wonder how the Bulldogs will respond if the game is close. The Eagles need to be more disciplined than last week and if it is, CV should handle Wilson and reach the semifinals for a third year in a row.
