The Matchup Wrap-up:
In an extremely tight game, The Douglass Mighty Ducks just edged out the visiting City College Black Knights 8-6 in the Mighty Ducks’ league win on Oct. 2. Neither team scored a touchdown but rather from field goals and safety. The Mighty Ducks are now 7-2 and for their next matchup will host the Dunbar Poets for a Baltimore City I bout. Douglass will take on a Poets crew fresh off a 28-14 league win over the Digital Harbor Rams. The Poets stand at 6-3.
As for City College, the Black Knights will play the Poly Engineers for an in-league match on Nov. 5. The Black Knights will attempt to improve its 5-4 record. The Engineers will do the same as they are now 5-4 after their loss to the Mergenthaler Vo-Tech Mustangs.

Player(s) of the Week:
The Player of the week for Baltimore this time around is Jama Pope of Digital Harbor High School. Pope is one of the top receivers in the Baltimore City I region. Boasting an impressive 458 yards, it is not hard to see why Pope is some of the best talent the Digital Harbor Rams have to offer. To see more from Jamal and the Rams, check out their upcoming game against Mergenthaler Vo-Tech on Nov. 4.
The Games to Come:
The game to see this week in Baltimore is definitely the Edmonson-Westside Red Storm versus host Loyola Blakefield Dons on Nov. 5. While it is a non-conference matchup, both teams are even in record and talent. This should be an exciting challenge for both teams and a nice matchup for fans.
That’s it for this week’s Baltimore football wrap-up.
