It’s the midway point of the Delco football regular season, and four Central League teams remain undefeated in the conference. That will change this weekend. In the game of the week, Marple Newtown (3-1) hosts Haverford High (4-0) Saturday night. The Tigers and Fords are tied atop the Central League standings alongside Garnet Valley and Springfield. Garnet Valley (4-0) looks to stay perfect against Strath Haven (2-2), while Springfield (4-0) travels to Penncrest (1-3).

The Fords have won three of their four games by an average of 40.6 points. The defense, though, continues to fly under the radar. Led in part by linemen Dan Young and Tim Campli, the Fords have allowed more than 200 yards in a game only once. The Fords lead the county in turnover margin (plus-8). Jordan Mosley, a Maryland commit, has caught a touchdown pass from junior Jake Ruane in every game.
With their 14-12 victory, Tigers defeated Ridley for the first time since 2005. Marlon Weathers led the offense with 94 rushing yards and a touchdown. Jake Simpson paced the defense with two fumble recovers and Aaron Diamond sealed the win with an interception.
Haverford and Marple Newtown rank fourth and fifth, respectively, in the Daily Times Super 7.
