Scott Huff predicts the winners in this week’s SOL contests.
By Scott Huff
And the beat goes on…
The SOL regular season will open this week for teams in the Continental, National, and American Conferences. And despite success and failure in the non-league games, all teams are 0-0 at this point – and all teams have dreams of a conference title.
There were four teams – North Penn (Continental), Harry S Truman (National), Quakertown (American), and Upper Dublin (American) – that were unbeaten in the first three weeks of the season.
And there were a surprising five teams – Souderton (Continental), Central Bucks South (Continental), Pennsbury (National), Plymouth Whitemarsh (American) and Wissahickon (American) – that are still in search of a 2018 victory.
But everyone starts the conference race for the championship tonight – good luck to one and all.
