Can't put it all on that, but I believe you do have an interesting point. I have heard Carroll was loved. They also got rid of another coach from the defensive side that helped Carroll as well. Still, Derek Johnson and Raines were just as big a part of the defense in that 07 season as those 2 coaches. Chemistry is very important. Would not know if that were a reason or not in 08.

No.

Best from the 90's- Joel Thompson, Petie Spaulding, Tim Mays were on a different level. Orlando Taylor, Gribbins, Mccarty, Deener and a few others were close. I know I am leaving out tons of linemen that were as good as any in the state. They had 2-3 WR's a year in the 90's that were miles better than what they've had in the last 3-4 years. I would think only the Hoskins kid had as much talent as some of the 90's in that same last 3-4 years. I'm not even sold on Bridgewater after a couple of games I saw. Think the coach had anything to do with turning out so many more players in the 90's than now? How could you not?

Coach Hard-Not sure which gen. you are from, but I'm prety certain this years squad won't be breaking many records. They might put together a nice team, but I see no stars like they have had on many teams in the past, even some of the bad ones had some realyl talented players. However, they might develop some of the hard-nosed types you speak of, but they need double those to get anywhere near some of the former Cville teams of the nineties, and a few in the eighties, even the 2000's IMO. Best of luck to Cville this season, tough looking schedule, very nice opening matchup it seems!

Could be an interesting and fun game to watch!

Catholic is the best team in the tourn. by far. Having said that, UHA is probably 3rd or 4th best team. Meaning this will be an exciting game. I also felt the Station/Catholic game was exciting, but Catholic manhandled them and won by 17. I see this game going something similar. Catholic wins by 12, Hopson may get 15 or so, maybe even 20 but it won't matter. This will be Catholics closest game of the tourney until Mason. I say Catholic walks through the tourney this year. Too much fire power from 4 different players with a good ball handling PG.

They apparently lost the defensive coordinator, as well as his assistant/special teams guy. I guess with so many new players to the defense it won't be so bad to get a new D coordinator, but I felt they did a decent job the last couple of years against some high powered offenses. And even though getting beat 38-35 in the championship by Beechwood, I believe they held beechwood to the lowest, or one of the lowest rushing outputs of their season. Can anyone confirm that??? Beechwood towered over LCA's whole defense, that must be a feat in itself to hold a team like that to a low rushing total (for their standards).

Probably depleted, but they do still have the monster at left tackle that started last season as a freshman. But I don't think he can block all 4-5 lineman!! Maybe 2 or 3 though!

The Duff kid signed with Georgetown College I believe, and also Gaffney is walking on at Western. Congratulations to them. LCA lost a lot it seems on both sides of the ball, but they have a ton back on offense, it will probably be more potent than last season?? Not sure about their defense, but if they lost 7 seniors they may be hurting? I think they lost their 2 defensive coaches as well. I would think they are still the team to beat in that district and top 5-6 in the state as of now.

I take it Mason due to the above post?

Where is this game played. I want to go!

Wow! Nobody know anything or just noone willing to talk about it?

Anyone have any news/info about who will replace Bergamini? I know its early, but surely they have started a process?

Denton was Co-MVP of the District? Who was the other half? Didn't Witt and Hayden (LCA) win that co MVP award? Or was that Region Co-MVP award. Either way its got me confused. Help !
