Sussex Central 27, Sussex Tech 19 Photo: Sussex Tech receiver Chris Hopkins Rival Sussex Central figured to provide yet another barometer of just how much progress the Sussex Tech High School football team has made this season.
The Ravens, who clinched a winning season last week, forced the outcome into the fourth quarter on Friday night after losing to Central the previous two years by a combined score of 83-30. Central finally put the game away with 4:26 in the fourth quarter when fullback Tony Milam scored on a 9-yard run to give the Knights a 27-13 lead. Trailing by two touchdowns early in the fourth, the Ravens pulled within 21-13 on a 3-yard run by quarterback Marcus Morris. But after Tech's defense stopped SC on two consecutive drives, the Knights used two fourth period interceptions to preserve their lead, including an interception of a halfback option pass at the Raven 19 with six minutes left that led to Milam's touchdown. Tech scored its final touchdown with 13 seconds left on a 7-yard pass from Morris to split end Chris Hopkins. The Ravens conclude their season with a nonconference game at Polytech on Friday, Nov. 16, at 7:30 p.m. Polytech lost to Seaford 10-0 in its last game on Friday, Nov. 9.

And despite the Ravens' 27-19 loss to Central on Friday, Nov. 9, 2001, the progress of the Ravens, now 6-3 overall and 2-3 in the Henlopen North, is obvious.
