Series History: First Meeting

 

South Warren is statistically the most dominating defense in the state. They have not allowed a point this season, the last in the state to have that honor. Their three shutouts equal the total they had in their first two seasons combined. They make their hay with a ferocious rushing defense, which has yet to allow positive yardage in any game. The Spartans are even tougher at home, carrying a 9-3 all-time record in the friendly confines, including winning 9 of their last 10. Only Monroe County last season beat them during that stretch. Five of the last seven games at home have ended in Spartan shutouts, and one of the other games they allowed only 7 points. By any measure, it's a daunting task that faces Elizabethtown.

 

The Panthers are no slouch themselves, entering the game with an unblemished 3-0 record of their own, and have allowed merely 17 points in those three games. It's a huge turnaround for the program, which had lost 22 of their previous 23 games coming into this season.

South Warren 27-19.

Etown fails to score, Spartans roll again. 35-0
