Halfway Home
Well, we've reached the midpoint of the season and things are starting to get interesting. Let's start in Division I. Middlebury is unbeaten but faces a tough task against Rutland Friday. The Raiders are 1-3 but 1-0 where it counts, in the league. Brattleboro is also unbeaten and has Essex Saturday night. The Tigers, Raiders and Colonels have the inside track to the playoffs but the fourth spot is certainly up for grabs. MSJ, Hartford, Essex and Mount Anthony are all 1-2. Who do you think gets in??? Division IIBFA and South Burlington appear to be the cream of the crop in D-II and the league title will likely be on the line Friday, Oct. 20 in St. Albans when the two teams meet. Don't count out St. Johnsbury yet, though, as the Hilltoppers are at SoBo this Saturday and they don;t play the Bobwhites. Burlington is 2-1 in the league while Fair Haven and Lyndon are 1-2. Who's in and who's out? Division III
Colchester looked like a lock and then the Lakers barely beat Mount Mansfield. They and Windsor are 3-0 while Poultney and Rice are right behind at 2-1. Rice is at Windsor Oct. 7 and then Colchester comes in Oct. 21. Division IVClearly this division will come down to U-32 at Otter Valley on Saturday, Oct. 14. That game is scheduled for 3 p.m. The Raiders have a huge amount of firepower. Do the defending champs have enough guns and enough defense to get the job done? How big is the home-field advantage? Let us know what you think.

The Final Makeup
Montpelier and Mount Abraham will finish their suspended game on Tuesday, Sept. 26 in Bristol at 4:30 p.m. The Solons lead 17-0 at the half.
Raiders forfeit a win
Rutland unknowingly used an ineligible player in its first two games of the season and as a result has forfeited its win over South Burlington. The Raiders now stand 0-2 overall as they head into Saturday's home game against Ledyard, Conn. They begin their league schedule the following Friday at Hartford. How 'bout them Mounties!
Is John Callahan rebuilding or just reloading? MSJ lost a raft of players from its championship team of 2005 but are off and running in 2006. The Acads opened with a less-than-convincing win over parochial rival Rice but then staged a great comeback against an Essex team that many picked to make the postseason. The Wild Wild West
They're playing football in western Rutland County again. Poultney won its first game and was trailing Otter Valley 14-0 near halftime in the second game when lightning suspended the contest. The Blue Devils have a big league contest Saturday when they host Poultney. Fair Haven is also 1-0 and leads Mount Anthony in its suspended game which will be made up Monday, Oct. 23.
