The Doylestown Boys High School team put in an impressive opening result of the season, beating Virginia power Fort Hunt 62-28 on the road.
Magnanimous in defeat, Fort Hunt Head Coach Dale Roach was impressed with Doylestown.
"They are the real deal," Roach said. "They did some really good stuff in midfield and were physical in the contact area. We played well at times but generally needed better pace and line speed on defense. It was a good first contest for both teams; Doylestown was on the front foot and played well."
Doylestown controlled possession and territory, in the first half and despite Roach's reservations Forth Hunt defended well. Three tries from the Pennsylvania team put them up 17-7 at the break.
But in the second half, Doylestown's physicality and their accuracy started to open up chances.
"The halftime message was to build on the first half momentum and clean up the little details, and the tries would come," said Head Coach Kevin Reilly. "The boys executed on the message. It was a total team win."
With the score opening up Doylestown was able to see a few more players onto the field, and then the two sides backed that up with a U16 matchup, which fort Hunt won 29-19.
