If you were there, you might have noticed the mud pit on the field. Not an excuse for the loss but the dragons strength were their two scholarship D-ends last year and a quick DT. They couldnt get any...

FSU, I agree that the conditions were horrible for Clintondale's speed game. But Cros-Lex was predominantly a spread passing team. They were handicapped by the weather as well. I can't get the thought...

If Clintondale can't play defense on a wet field, then shame on their coaching staff and grounds crew for not getting out there with mops and squeegies to make sure it was as little an issue as...

Atticus, Definite valididty but i dont think that was the case in the Crosswell game. That Barrett may as well have been raised in the mud the way he was running around. Literally inches, on about 4...

I was at the Cros-Lex v. Country Day game, and have these thoughts: 1. I couldn't believe that Clintondale lost to Cros-Lex, but did think Cros-Lex was well coached (see "let-down" theory in earlier...

Atticus, 1) Agreed. They were well coached. 2) I think it was a toss up. I saw DCD struggle heavily vs Det. Southwestern in a very low scoring game. 3)agree 100%. Holland christain was the cream of...

I think MC or even Clintondale would have stood a chance against Country Day. MC beat em in the State finals when Country Day was heavily favored, so they aren't all that they are hyped to be. That...

So, FSUdawg, what are you thinking about tonight's game?
View ArticleRe: Who is the favorite in the MAC GOLD - 2009
Should be a good one. The move for Johnson from QB to RB is paying off for the dragons. Their young lines on both sides of the ball are coming around. It is much tougher to prepare for johnson and...

Not 100% sure what to think. Marine City's defense has some serious work to do, but they seem fairly solid when they're not playing a team with a strong passing threat. Johnson, however, is a threat...

on your edits: Sorry to say but Abrams is overrated. He is an outstanding short yardage back but he is not gamebreaking threat at all. No siginficant speed or lateral movement. No way he compares to...

I'm still debating if I will be there, FSU. It's getting harder and harder justifying the time away from family with young kids at home. If I do go, I agree that it should be good, I just don't know...

Abrams is a great kid. Extremely hard worker that puts it all on the field. Its not abrams fault but he was highly highly tauted as a youngster coming up. He is not a college running back, maybe...

Rivard was very tough; the best RB I've ever seen suit up in the orange and black, I think. The coaching staff and the community is clearly why Marine City has the program that they have, not the...

Dont get me wrong, I have the utmost respect for MC and i know that current players do as well. The record the have accumulated the last 15 years is nothing short of spectacular. The dedication of the...

The way things look out my office window right now, I think we're in for an old fashioned mud scrum on Clintondale's natural turf. I'm hoping to be there to see it.

Well, I made it to the game. I sure hope Walton's injury, with less than a minute to play, down by 24 points, isn't too serious. Why on earth was he in the game at that point? Why were all the...

Homer, I agree with everything you said. Walton is a senior and has already been to all the in-state Division 1 schools for home games. I guess the offensive coach was just trying to build some...
