For Strath Haven and Garnet Valley “on paper,” it cannot get much closer. Both have identical 4-0 records. Both teams with a long history of powerful running attacks that are following suit in 2021. The total points scored on the season nearly match (201 to 199)—the top two totals in all of District 1. And in a tune-up for this Friday’s showdown, even last week’s final scores were almost mirror images (Strath Haven romped over Harriton, 62-12, while Garnet Valley trampled Upper Darby, 61-12.). Thus, most high school football fans expect this matchup between two storied programs to be the Central League’s game of the year this Friday at George L. King Field in Wallingford.
