Yes, but Highlands gets 3 weeks to get healthy. They sat starters for the last two and will only need them for a half this week. Meanwhile Elder has played St X, St E's, Moeller, and Winton Woods. See what I am saying?

 

Got it. :thumb:

^ Win or lose injuries should not be used an excuse for any team. Even teams without a lot of depth, the coaches, if their good ones, will have the replacements ready to go. Obviously, the replacements will not have the talent as the first teamer, but will have enough reps to be productive. Perfect example, McCoy taking over for PT in last years Elder game.

 

Schools , especially the ones with large male enrollments will have more replacements for injured starters, but may not have the number of reps that they need to be productive. Right or wrong, that's the way I see it.

It's starting already? :ohbrother:

 

What's starting already? I simply stated that Elder was able to upset Moeller with their 2nd/3rd string QB.

I took your post the wrong way, my bad.

I agree. I was just making the comment in response to people saying that depth would wear down Highlands. Elder will not be as deep by attrition. That's all. If anything, it levels the playing field in #s that GCL schools generally have. They'll still go one way and have the majority of their starters.
