The buzz is beginning

Already, the season-opening game between Lancaster Catholic and defending District 3 Class AA champion Trinity is starting to draw attention.

Recently, former Lancaster Newspapers writer Jeff Reinhart, who owns and operates Lancaster-Lebanon League News, broke down his Top 10 Games to Watch for the upcoming L-L football season.

Checking in at No. 9 is Lancaster Catholic at Trinity.

The two private schools have quite a history and each has something to prove when they butt heads in Week 1 at COBO Field. Last year, Lancaster Catholic pounded Trinity, 35-7, and took an 11-0 record in the 3-AA semifinals. That's where the season ended with a 21-14 loss to Wyomissing.

Meanwhile, Trinity cruised to the 3-AA title and played Lewisburg, a team we thought was the second-best Class AA team in Pennsylvania last year, tough before falling in the state quarterfinals, 35-21.

This season-opening game could very easily be a preview of the 3-AA final.
