I was happier with the LP D. GCM scored on a TD return on a fumbled snap on the Dawg’s first play from scrimmage when Simon was out & a Soph mishandled the snap, and then the D gave up 2 more scores in garbage time. Other than that, the D only gave up 14 points to a senior heavy GCM squad with a pretty good QB, and some speedy receivers. You never know what to expect when a Hurts is the OC. So, I could see improvement—which is a plus. As far as the O, with an all backup OL, they took control of the trenches and played really well. There were very few negative plays. I think the district is lining up about how I expected to this point with PAM and the 2 LP’s in line for PO spots right now. I still think GCM may be in line for the 4 spot. Especially if RSS QB is out for any length of time. But, still a lot of games to play. LP will need to come to play against BWB. They’ll have had an extra week to prepare.

Down to 5 Senior starters total now between O & D. Unreal! Lost the whole right side of the OL early in the first game. Now, we’ve lost the rest. Reynolds (TE) is the only original starter left.

This is the first game I’ve noticed the D actually run more blitzes. I wonder if coaches were concerned about the secondary, and wanting to get fundamentals and experience with the young guys before leaving them a little exposed from blitzing? Either way, they played a lot better when it counted. Still need to improve. But, I’m happier with the progress they’re making.

This was a good win to get for LP. Right now, they’re the walking wounded. But, the backups are picking up the challenge and playing well. Lost our last starting OL tonight & one of only 6 senior starters total. LP is officially now an almost exclusive underclassmen squad with only 5 starting Seniors between the O, D & ST.

Crawford got to feeling too full of themselves, and took a good opponent lightly is what I’d say. Trap game.

I’m just hoping for 10 this week. Geez…

I think I messed up. They missed the 2 point try I believe. I had stepped away. I think the final is actually 33-52. !score 33-52 FINAL

!score 34-52 F

Another garbage TD for GCM with about 30 seconds left. 2 point try fails. !score 34-52 Q4

TOD GCM. LP ball on GCM 35 with 2:00 left.

Y’all shouldn’t have an issue. LP’s playing with an OL made up of all backups because of injuries & they now have 52. Half of the 27 from GCM has been after game was really in hand.

TD Simon! 42 yard scamper. !score 27-52 Q4

LP recovers inside kick & returns it to GCM 42.

30 yards in PI’s lets GCM move down field for a TD. 2 pt try stopped. About 2 minutes left. !score 27-45 Q4

TD LP! Dieudonne from the 4. !score 21-45 Q4
