Red Lion Christian Academy (Bear, Del.) at Calvert Hall (Baltimore)Red
Lion Christian is a small private school in Delaware aspiring to become
a big football institution on a national scale. There are 10 teams on
Red Lion's schedule and none are from Delaware. Instead, the Lions are
playing some of the top programs from football-rich states such as
Florida, Ohio and nearby Maryland. The team improved to 2-0 this season
with a 41-6 blowout of Annapolis Christian (Md.) at
last week's Patriot Classic at Navy Stadium. There are several highly touted prospects on
the Lions' roster, but none more noteworthy than freshman quarterback
David Sills. The 6-foot-2, 170-pounder -– who made a well-publicized
verbal commitment to USC when he was in the seventh grade -– fired four
touchdown throws and totaled 292 passing yards last week.
Calvert
Hall made a statement when it shut out perennial Washington D.C.-area
power DeMatha (Hyattsville, Md.), 18-0, at the Patriot Classic, holding
the Stags to less than 50 total yards for the game. West Virginia recruit
Da'quan Davis capped the Cardinals' scoring with a 35-yard return of an
interception for a touchdown. This is the second meeting between these
programs. Calvert Hall defeated Red Lion 27-20 last November.
