Although I saw Gilman against Oscar Smith and Good Counsel, I was busy texting a friend so I didn't pay attention

. I paid attention in the two CHC/Gilman games. To get an unbiased report I went to a trusted source high up in the CHC braintrust. According to my source, Melvin Keihn, Chibuzo and Miles Norris were solid against CHC. Wyatt & Cockerille were very good. Branch struggled and Blair was ok in spot duty. Blair played more in the first game than the second.
My source also backs up your assertions of Gilman's returning & incoming talent. He gave kudos to Locksley, Rhett, Dupree & Maddox and for Shane's performances in the camp scene. My source also predicted that Branch will be much improved.
I see why you think CHC will lose by a lot to Gilman this season. Calvert Hall should just mail in the "L", huh?
