Avoiding a (Dunbar) Poets slam?
From The Sun's Stefen Lovelace:
Forest Park pulled out a 32-29 overtime football victory over Du Bois last weekend.
It was a game the Foresters were supposed to win. They’re 6-2 while Du Bois is 2-5, but the victory was essential because of the 1A South standings.
Forest Park sits in fourth place in the Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association and is just behind third-place Surrattsville (6-1), which had a bye last week.
With the regular season winding down, Forest Park would like to finish in third place, where it would likely face current No. 2 Digital Harbor first in the playoffs. If the Foresters were to stay at No. 4, they’d probably play No. 1 Dunbar.
"The win (against Du Bois) was super important because no one wants to see Dunbar in the first round of the playoffs. They’re an exceptional team," Foresters coach Obie Barnes said. "We’re hoping to see Digital Harbor to hopefully avenge a 14-6 loss we had against them this season."
