Two seasons of competition in the Keystone State Football League have produced two champions, but familiar foes in the title tilt each year.

Perkiomen School went 7-1 in the inaugural year of the league in 2019, defeating Mercersburg Academy 32-16. The Blue Storm, after capturing

the virtual competition title in 2020, grabbed its first championship

in 2021, defeating the Panthers 28-22 in an overtime thriller

to also finish 7-1. 

 

This season brings expansion and new challengers, a broader geographic footprint, and a new regular season format. A seven week, round-robin

regular season will be followed by a playoff featuring the top four schools

from the regular season standings.

RANDOLPH MACON ACADEMY

Outlook

RMA transitions from the Virginia Independent School 8-player football league to the KSFL this season, a move, interestingly, driven by geography. RMA's location puts them closer to some traditional rivals (Mercersburg) and other competitors than the VA league did, where hte Yellow Jackets traveled far distances to compete in the southern part of the state. The Yellow Jackets have a new coach but will likely continue their reputation as a hard-nosed team that competes each down.
