I was impressed with Ridgeway in the JV game I saw last year. Sounds we will be solid at QB for '08 and '09.

Go Hawks!!

There is one foul mouthed person getting on the air . Geesh if they beep you'll not here the game

That was Montclair's DC

[PA_wesleyfan]

it thought that it was probably a coach.. so i guess all the fans could here him then??

tough loss Conrad!!! the D seemed to take it up a level in the second half.


Tough to get in the red zone that many times and come away empty.

Too bad the passing didn't click

Six trips into MSU territory in the 2nd half, no points. Story of the game. Have to credit the Red Hawks and their enthusiastic DC

    Great win Gulls!, final score does not indicate how tough this game was though.  Del Val battled hard all day, and I think they will compete very well for their conference title. Defense for SU was out standing all day, 3 picks and 1 of those by a D-end which effectively ended DelVal's comeback attempt. Offense has big play capability every time they touch the ball. I was impressed with Fisher at fullback..255 lbs. and a hard runner- DelVal's LBs and safety were taking instead of giving hits on that guy. Congrats to Montclair, Wesley is very tough at home (and on the road too), but I'm sure Wesley will bounce back next week- just hoping NNA doesn't! Roll Gulls- SU didn't put up 48 but still a big win! keep the karma and GO GULLS!   

[Roll Gulls 56]

SUbacker,
  Maybe I got a little overzealous but again a great win for the Sea Gulls. I think they should crack the top 20. The next four games are what I would call trap games. All games they should win handily and continue to get better coming into Wesley...The only concern I had(and maybe because I was an olineman in college) is the five sacks given up by the Gulls. I am gonna call out a challenge to them for the upcoming week. DON'T LET THE D TOUCH THE QB BEHIND THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE...We will play much better teams later in the season and we have to be able to have some time to pass the ball the few times we do pass it. I they get five sacks out of 12 passing plays...I will put 9 men in the box regardless of down and fill every gap. Pass protection is huge.

  I tell you this is exciting stuff. Congrats to Montclair...I was hoping Wesley was 8-0 coming into Salisbury but now they will have at least one blemish. I cannot wait for that game. Looking at the schedule ahead, that game is really the only proverbial test left. If the Gulls can hand Wesley a defeat at there place and hang on for a 10-0 season...could we argue to be the #1 in the East or #2 in the South? I think that depends on how Montclair ends and also the TX teams, whether they beat each other or one team prevails. I have that feeling baby...It might be a magical year!

Roll Gulls

Predictions will be in earlier this week.

[PA_wesleyfan]

NASCAR comes to Dover two times a year.  I hope that Wesley schedules around that next year.  The Wesley SID or AD can get the 2008 and 2009 dates in advance.

Ralph

The game was Scheduled late this summer. I think both teams should be commended for getting together at such a late date!!! Also the game was going to be played at MSU but there was a reason it was changed. Wesley has always tried to avoid race weekend. Most years they have been away.
I think there is probably another Explaination for the no show by the refs. If they would have been at Wesley two hrs prior to the game I cannot believe that it took them 5 hrs beyond that to get to Dover!!!! If it did shame on them
I think you said before that Wesley HAS to improve their Scheduling!!!! WELL THEY DID !!! They do the best they can with the limited teams that will play them!!!!!

Great points all!  A well-deserved +1!  Thanks for the background.

I had forgotten that that was the nature of this game.  When NASCAR comes to the track just north of Ft Worth, no one goes anywhere within 10 miles of the track if they don't have to, and that is on the wide open plains of north Texas. 

PA Wesleyfan, I don't think that you were hurt too badly by that win.

MSU's OWP and OOWP should be pretty good, and we can look to see what impact that has on Pool B bid.

(Click here for the 2007 Football Handbook.  OWP and OOWP are explained in Appendix J.)

[PA_wesleyfan]

Ralph
The way the east is playing can you see Wesley and  Salisbury both get bids??? Pool B teams are able to get pool C bids correct??

I have to read those owp and oowp outlines to see whats up with all these eastern  and souther teams.. A few Conferences could have teams win them with 2 losses in conference alone   

[Ralph Turner]

PA_Wesleyfan,

Yes, Pool B's are eligible for Pool C bids.

I think that we are looking for upsets in the South for any Pool C bids to come to the South Region.

ASC -- HSU already has 2 in-region losses, and must beat the very strong UMHB team for the Pool A bid.

SCAC -- Millsaps has a loss to Miss College and a loss to Trinity would give them 2 in-region losses. If Millsaps wins the SCAC, a one-loss Trinity might get a Pool C bid.

ODAC -- No Pool C candidates there.

USA South -- None there either.  (I think that Maryville probably wins the Pool A bid.)

Centennial -- Ditto.

Pres AC -- W&J on top and then everyone else.

ACFC -- A Wesley win over Salisbury really helps their case for a Pool B.

Carnegie Mellon -- Competing for one of the three Pool B bids, against Linfield, Wesley, Salisbury.  Has two losses now.

 Good to see that Gordon Mann thought favorably of Salisbury after seeing them play DelVal this weekend. He is correct about his assesment of the defensive lapses allowing receivers to get behind them though. That will need fixing and I'm sure the guys will be working on that this week and throughout the year.
  The game clearly changed when SU knocked the ball out as the DV back tried to jump over the goal line, with DV leading 14-10. It was definitely a good call (fumble).  I spoke to the player that punched the ball out after the game and he was sure the ball was actually loose before the back crossed the goal line. I know the DelVal folks would disagree,  but that is what happened. That was a 14 point swing-taking DelVal's 7 points off the board-then SU driving 80 yards to score-the Pontiac game changing moment as it were. I still think DV is the team to beat in their conference-they are the best 0-3 team I've seen. GO GULLS!!
