I feel much the same. I know a lot of people were wanting to see Marlington win as our rep from Region 11. However, after witnessing the dirty hits and poor sportsmanship by several Dukes players I can't help but be pleased with their Buchtel whipping!
Dover/Marlington was a high emotion game, but kids like that don't just start playing dirty in week 13. The Marlington coaching staff should have reigned in that behavior long ago and had a clear understanding with their players that it would not be tolerated.
Many consider Dover to be arrogant, but I think most of that is due to the behavior of our fan base not what the kids bring to the field. You see little blatant unsportsmanlike behavior from Dover players. We have our share of hotheads but Ifft keeps them in check - and you'll see no one lying on the field after a loss!
