No.  Regular football.  Prep has a freshman team, a Junior Varsity team and a Varsity team.

Spring football is regular football. Do you know what sprint football is?[/quote]

Spring/sprint football?  Please explain what you mean.  I have heard of SPRINT football.

The evolution of sprint football was started in the early 1930’s by the president of the University of Pennsylvania. He wanted to assure that the smaller, talented student-athletes still had opportunities to compete in football on the intercollegiate level.

Founded as the Eastern 150-Pound Football League in 1934, the original league had seven members: Cornell, Lafayette, Penn, Princeton, Rutgers, Villanova, and Yale. Throughout the years, a number of teams have either joined or left the league. In 1946, Navy fielded its first squad, with army following suit in 1957. Mansfield started sprint football in 2008 and in the spring of 2009, was admitted as a member, the first new member in over 50 years!!!

During the first 25 years of the league, athletes became bigger, forcing the league to increase the weight limit from 150 to 154 pounds initially, then later to 159 pounds. At that time, the league was called the Eastern Lightweight Football League. Just two days prior to the 1996 season, the ELFL increased the weight limit again, this time to 165 pounds. In 2004, the weight limit was increased to 166 pounds. The current weight limit of 172 pounds was established in 2005.

Georgetown Prep vs Bullis game last Saturday was not sprint or Spring football.[/quote]
