I'd assume Dover is a heavy favorite this year, but I'll be rooting for Phila. Always enjoy it when my school scrimmages the Quakers.

 

[Journey]

Gotta go with Dover. NP coach is doing a great job, but this year is Coach Ifft's Magnum Opus.

Dover will be rolling at the Brick House.

Not close. Philly playing ok, but over matched in this one.

 

[TigerGuy35]

Dover 35
New Philadelphia 14

 

[Pile Driver]

NP struggling offensively and Dover’s defense has dominated all season.

Dover 31
NP 10

I will be pulling for the Quakers, but I don't think they have A chance.

 

[algernonsidney]

I will put in a pick after this week's games. This game is on 22 October.

 

[algernonsidney]

Has anyone attended this rivalry game and a game in the Martins Ferry-Bellaire rivaly? I'd love to hear a comparison of the two. This will also be their 118th game this year.

 

[algernonsidney]

Dover has 57 wins. New Philadelphia has 51 wins There are nine ties.

Four of the ties were scoreless. One tie was 5-5.

It also says the first game was in 1896. The article mentions two other dates.

 

[owencountykentucky]

Could they play twice this year?

 

[Journey]

Yes they could, it happened in 2008 weeks 10 and 11. Dover won both, 30-7 then 45-0

 

[Yaptheflap]

Don’t count NP out. 2019 was the same scene. It’ll be close but I got NP 17-10 OT over Dover.

Dover rolls

Hope I'm wrong, but the Quakers don't have the Horses to hang with Dover this year.

118th game in a season. Sounds like Bishop Sycamore scheduling.
Sorry, couldn't resist.

It is an interesting coincidence that they are both on game 118 this year.

Who has more? Is it Troy and Piqua? Is it Canton McKinley and Massilon Washington?

Does that ever matter in a rivalry game like this?

Fun turnaround at Dover with that defense and ground game. Defense has given up 62 thru 8 games and just 20 in the second half. Offense is very heavy run and has scored 270 and generally did not score in the second half of blowout games.

Piqua Troy played for the 137th time this year. Troy leads the series, 116-115 and there have been 6 ties. About as even as you get.

Massillon Washington and Canton McKinley will meet for the 132nd time on Saturday at 2:00 PM. Massillon leads the series 73-53-5.?

Dover will put a running clock on Phila, 45-0
