We know that wasn't Kevin throwing the ball if bruises were being left on the WR chest.

nope... that was Hicks... I never got to play against Defiance, I don't think... But I did play against Bluffton a few times ---whats the difference??  I was hurt in 1999 in the coach's booth...  70 it was SaintsFAN he called for the middle screen that turned into an 88 yard TD that day... ha.  Well, I was saying all day it was open... we just finally called for it then.

it was a good call but should have been a 5yd gain if we could tackle...but our D was soft as hell

Welcome to the HCAC Earlham!

We have about 1/4 of the school either not show up or leave early from being sick. Unfortunately, since Saturday is Homecoming, we won't be getting any extra days off tomorrow

which was surprising because Defiance usually brought it on defense.  I remember the 1997 game at Defiance... 21-14 win... but that was a tough game.

Now Defiance brings too-too's, Ace Ventura style

Nice win for DC at RHIT!  Too bad we had 3 bad kicks last week in the 1pt loss

I noticed Foos made the first FG attempt today (which was blocked).  After that, Anthony Sierra kicked all the PATs.  Foos continued with all the kickoffs and punts.  Does anybody know the story there?  Was it the gameplan from the beginning to have Sierra kick PATs and/or short FGs?

My guess is His confidence is shot. 2 missed extra pts and missed FG last week. I know one of the extra pts was blocked by the centers ass because it only went 2 ft off the ground (that is a oline worst pain). 4 straight missed kicks guess he got pulled

the monkey is now off the DC backs. Congrats to the Jackets

MSJ won today 28-13...wasn't much of a game. Hanover's O-line is smaller than 2 HS o-lines we have played against. My only worry is MSJ's d-line doesn't have much size. I don't think any of them weight 300. I like speedy linemen, however, if a team lines up with some hosses and PTR with a power run game with a lot of Iso's, Leads, Traps, Powers, Dives, etc. they may be at a disadvantage up front.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy DC won, but I am still pissed about last week.  That game should be a W!  Hopefully they're on the right track.

Good win for the Jackets yesterday - they always seem to sting me on my HCAC pick'ems in the toss up - type games.  Great to note Alex Bonilla (Sr from Glenville) slot his four PAT attempts after last weeks' debacle in the PK department 

[JacketsFan]

Yay for DC. About time you got a win. Do it again next week.

Big game coming up in the HCAC this weekend.  That's right Defiance vs. Anderson  
Ok, back to reality.  Franklin vs. MSJ!  this is pretty much the clincher for the AQ.  I know Manchester is 3-0 too, but they still have to get past both Franklin & MSJ which is no easy task.  Looking forward to everyone's thoughts on this game.
I'm torn on who will win.  Franklin is still the team to beat as the current champ & have shown they are a tough team to beat.  I'm not going to count the Butler game b/c they are showing to be a force in DIAA so far.  MSJ has shown that they can put up offensive numbers & play some d too.  It will be an interesting game.
