So I guess Russell would pound Bowling Green. I can see a argument for for the top 4 over CCH, but Mercer County? Weren't you the same guy saying Ryle was better than CCH?
The biggest difference for CCH from midseason on has to be the o-line. All the credit goes to Haskamp who transcended these boys from a good line to a dominant line.
Sounds like Brandon Brown came in on O at the beginning of the 2nd half and did what he has all season when called upon. This kid just does his job.
Buckley ran well too. They compliment each other very well as a tandem. Unofficially the radio said CCH had about 450 yards of offense compared to about 300 for JC.
It doesn't affect a football team as much as a basketball team. In b-ball the students are much closer to the action creating a much more raucous atmosphere. When you throw in the fact it is in a indoor environment, the crowds certainly create havoc for opposing teams. That isn't always necessarily the case on the gridiron.
