Duke who? lol. Actually I think if GCM cuts down ont the turnovers they make a game of it. That goes for the entie season. Turnovers are just as responsible for their two losses as their competition is.

I made this prediction while thinking about the win that got away from us (Central) and was not thinking clearly. Yes, PNG has put up a lot of points, and their defense has played well. But let's put this in perspective. Their wins have come against teams that have a combined record of 2-11 and their lone loss came against a team with a 4-1 record. Yes, PNG is a good team, but ask yourself this. Who have they played? I believe GCM has made all the necessary adjustments and will not repeat the turnover-fest that cost them the game last week.  GCM wins this one on a pick six with less then a minute to play in a shootout. GCM 49 - PNG 45

Patriots have just enough athletes in the secondary to slow down the Indan air show and unlike Lee still defend the run. PNG game plans for Duke and Adams and get burned by two other athletes they didn't account for. Duke takes it to the house in the final seconds and GCM pulls off the upset 30 - 28.

Sure you are, right after the P and the N, or is that just an arthritic L.

Yep, PNG needs to start game planning for the L -train right now. GCM is in the bag. No way that it could be PNG's trap game. ; )

Wow, didn't this Dayton squad win district last year or was it Crosby?

You can always start setting up your mailboxes here in the Dirty Bay. If any of those PAM athletes feel like staying in 6A they can always c'mon out west when GCM and PAM switch places. Just follow the setting sun.

The freshman score was actually 30 to 20. GCM lost two fumbles deep in Jaguar territory and three overall, that was the difference in the game. This was a great battle between two really good teams.

Coach Boyd rarely shows his cards in non-district games. 
Don't be surprised if you see several changes Friday night. Practice is over.

I think the fact that they tried something different in week three shows that their not just going to stick to the status quo. As far as QB #1 is concerned; I think they try to throw 20 to 30 yards down field too much. They need to stick to more of a ball contol type passing scheme and get the ball into the hands of their atheletes. A combination of both QB's to keep the defense off balance, if done right, may be the best offense of all. If not, they were definitely more explosive with QB #2.

Gentry can supply the speed. We have two tailbacks, a qb and even a a full back that had long td runs last night. The tailbacks and the QB are zoned for GCM, not sure about the full back yet but I'm trying to find out. The only thing that can through a wrench into things is the Academy enrollment. Hopefully those kids want to stay at GCM. Our defense was really flyiing to the ball and made some great open field tackles. Horace Mann has a couple of really fast, elusive running backs. They had a few big runs but we kept them out of the end zone. We'll be seeing ya'll next week. Bring your track shoes!

Lets just hope that, over the BYE week, we learned that option #1 shouldnt be an option at all. You learn a lot about a coaching staff coming off a BYE week, If nothing has changed, and the offense remains status quo, Boyds, thrown it all in, and steering the Titanic...

Ill predict this game 2 ways.   
QB 1 Playing
GCM 10
Jags 21
 
QB 2 Plays alot
GCM 28
Jags 21

How's your offensive line looking? Ours looks decent, I'd like to see more size but we have a couple of big boys. I don't know which ones are going to Sterling or GCM though.
Also as far as rezoning the high schools, I've heard through the grapevine that the district is leaning towards leaving things as is, so GCM will probably be 6A next year, but I'm hearing this third hand so take that for what it's worth. Ultimately I think that's for the better. Even if they re zone GCM would still wind up in 6A two years later with a smaller area to draw atheletes from. This way they can take their lumps now and hopefully be more competetive by our kids junior and senior years. Hopefully the new neighborhoods going in will bring more atheletes. I would like to see Boyd and his coaching staff do like Sterling's coach and try to get more kids in JH and HS excited about playing and get the numbers up. I know of a few good atheletes that are just sticking with baseball.

GCM has a few more horses in the stable as well. Neither of these two were the offensive star last game.

Central might need it after Duke and Adams gets through with them on Friday night

Man, I don't think Julia Child ever stirred so much. Somebody get some Thera-gesic for Buddy's shoulder.

We're gonna storm the field during the game. Leave all that celebrating afterwards for the fans,
Don't take it personal, it's just business.
 

You just had to go and harsh on my buzz man. You're probably right though. I just prefer to see the glass half full.......then empty, then full, then half full again........

I think this is going to be defensive battle. GCM's defense is playing much better than last year, but the offense is down so far. They did show flashes though against LCM. I liked what I saw with the two headed pass/run QB combo. If they can mix it up a little more and keep the defense guessing and get a little more consistency in the passing game I believe they win.
GCM 14
Central 12
