Octorara Football Cracks DLN's Top 10 List


Octorara football, off to a 3-0 start following a convincing win over neighboring Pequea Valley Friday night, gets some well deserved recognition from the Daily Local News sports desk and for the first time ever, cracks into the paper's County's Top 10 rankings.

The money quote:
Octorara enters Ches-Mont League play at 3-0 after beating Pequea Valley 33-0. Braves senior quarterback Dan Solomon threw for 331 yards on a 21 of 27 passing night. The Braves piled up 455 total yards and they have a legitimate shot at the Class AAA playoffs.  Octorara has come a real long way in its third season of varsity football, a great job by Jed King and his staff who have made Octorara football relevant in a hurry.
And the rankings:

1. Downingtown East (3-0) Cougars survive big scare at Glen Mills.

2. Malvern Prep (2-1) Friars record big win down in Washington D.C.
