Final

Meade Co. must have played well. I thought the margin would have been greater, although 17 points is not bad, I guess.

I agree, it really doesn't make much sense unless Male was looking ahead.

Meade's defense is pretty damn good.

Meade was held to four first downs and 77 yards for the game. Male ran 89 plays to Meade's 31. First downs were 22-4. Male had 325 in total offense.

The question still remains is will Male give maximum effort against a team not names Trinity or St. Xavier.

Believe me Male gave max effort. Meade's defense was outstanding; it had nothing to do with Male looking ahead. Meade lost one of their starting FB/OLB in the 2d qtr. That allowed Male to get a few plays on that side. Not to mention Meade's starting ILB (other starting FB) was still nursing a sore ankle. If Meade doesn't fumble a kickoff and lose their starting FB (leading scorer) and the other FB was 100% the game is even closer if not a win for Meade. Meade shut down Wakefield & Mattingly (That’s 2 D-1 players). Male had zero big plays; I don’t think Male had any plays over 20 yards. Hopefully Meade will see Male again with both FBs healthy. I will say Male is a heck of a football team and still the odds on favorite for the 6A title.

325 yds to 77 yds doesn't sound like 1 or 2 more guys would overcome that. It looks like Meade couldn't do anything offensively and Male moved the ball well.

I guess you had to be at the game. You would think 325 yards would yield more than 17 points. And really 7 of those points came on a muffed kick off giving the ball to Male on the Meade 25. Those two players account for and 700 yards of total offense and 8 TDs. Imagine taking Mattingly and Cain out of the game...Male would struggle was well.

Meade County didn't impress me at all when we scrimmaged them. They only put up 7 points. And we are just a little ole 2A team.

Well ColtPride...Desales didn't impress us either for a little ole 2A team. Why don't you move up with the big boys. That's right Desales would rather ran the score up on a struggling program like Fort Knox that's moving to 1A. At the scrimmage we were playing all our kids. In the 3rd you guys still had your 1st team in. I don't think Desales beats us in a regular game.

We would definitely finish ahead of you guys. You've had your chance 2 years in a row in our scrimmages. We know what has happened. It's never been close.

I'm sure Male was kinda uninspired to play you guys. They have a big game this week.

Holy crap, folks. Simmer down.

These are the facts..yes Desales won the scrimmage. The varsity on varsity score was 21-7, in which the Desales head coach said after the scrimmage the catch in the end zone was not a catch. So really 14-7 varsity on varsity. Meade played its starting FBs every other series. Meade played its second team in the 2d qtr. Desales played their starters into the 3rd. But yes little ole Desales won the scrimmage.

... or not.
