Gilman football up to No. 47 in Powerade Fab 50
Gilman jumped up three spots to No. 47 in this week's ESPN High School Powerade Fab 50 national high school football poll.
The Greyhounds opened their season with a 68-9 romp over Maryland Christian, a team of home-schooled students that finished 13-0 last season and had a win over MIAA B Conference runner-up Archbishop Curley.
The Greyhounds will face a tougher test this weekend when they take on Oscar Smith, from Chesapeake, Va., at the I-95 Kickoff Classic at Morgan State Friday night at 7:30.
The only other Maryland team in the Fab 50 is No. 19 Good Counsel, which the Greyhounds play the following weekend at the Patriot Classic in Annapolis. The Greyhounds defeated the Falcons, 28-7, in last year's Kickoff Classic.
They meet again at Navy-Marine Corps Stadium on Sept 10 at 7:45 p.m.
Comments
These 'national' high school football polls have no use and should be ignored by the media. All they do is give these kids further sense of entitlement and the breathless, ridiculous recruiting rags more energy.

no sportsmanship--68 to 9?
Why's Gilman scheduling such a weak opponent?
That's no class or sportsmanship.
