I thought Gilman would play the lowest seed that wins next weekend, unless it would pit Calvert Hall vs Loyola.

You're right, I forgot they were re-seeding it after the quarter-finals.

If #3 Spalding and #4 Loyola win: Gilman plays Loyola, CHC plays Spalding
If #6 MSJ and #4 Loyola win: Gilman plays Loyola, CHC plays MSJ
If #3 Spalding and #5 McDonogh win: Gilman plays McDonogh, CHC plays Spalding
If #6 MSJ and #5 McDonogh win: Gilman plays MSJ, CHC plays McDonogh

A very interesting playoff note in my opinion - The Semifinals will be played at Stevenson, not at CHC & Gilman. I am not really thrilled with losing the Friday night home field advantage CHC would undoubtedly have if they hosted the semifinals. However, Stevenson is a great sight for the games.

Question...Does GA fall to the floor in a catatonic state with foam oozing from his mouth when he reads about the playoffs being re-seeded to keep the sanctity of the Turkey Bowl?

Its a shame st. Pauls is not in the tournament this year. They are capable of making some noise. Gilmans to lose. Next year it will be wide open. St. Pauls may lose every game next year. Same thing happened to Curley a few years back.

I won't say that it's wide open next year. I think it will be much more competitive with every school except Loyola being very strong.

Seeing McDonogh yesterday shows me that they should be MUCH better than what they are. They are much bigger than I thought and actually has the biggest line in the MIAA. They have some serious athletes. Dom better to back to the drawing board because no reason in the world should that team have the record they have. If they get it together, look out next year.

The cream will still be Gilman. Gilman's issue is, will thu change their offense? Yesterday at the game, that's all people talked about. Calvert Hall will also be special next year. Their issue will always IMO, be line play. They just don't have line play on either side of the ball. They like Gilman, will be hurting at the LB position. All in all, th league will be spectacular next year. I can't wait!

As always you don't know what you're talking about. Still on that McDonogh (2013) bandwagon, in October 2012 nonetheless. If you saw CHC JV play this season, you'd know that they have 7or 8 LBs on the JV capable of stepping up on the varsity next season.

NOT TRUE!! I heard someone talking about getting mustard on their hot dog!

And here you go again talking about JV! JV means nothing. I have been hearing all about CHC JV players for years and the ones I heard about have yet to impress me. Gilman has LB's on their Varsity but will they be as good as Wyatt Dickerson, Miles Norris and Micah Kiser, hell no! Just like I seriously doubt CHC's JV LB's will be as good as Delando, Cole and Epple next year.

I don't know about Gilman, but many good & great players play Fresh/Soph or JV football at Calvert Hall. Adrian Amos, Stefan Janik, Stephen Kelly, Delando Johnson, Trevor Williams, DaQuan Davis, Kyle Levere & Garrett Epple didn't start out on the varsity. I think Tommy Stuart even played JV at Good Counsel before transferring to CHC. Just because Gilman doesn't have any talent down on the farm, you shouldn't fault CHC for their emphasis on having strong, talented teams at all three levels.

Gilman has plenty of talent walking the Halls. Not just on the Varsity either. Until a kid proves himself on Varsity, none of that other stuff matters. But CHC can continue winning JV Championships and Gilman will continue winning the Big Boy Championship. If CHC and Gilman plays again this year(and I believe they will) Gilman will win and it will be 4 straight Wins, so all these JV STUDS you always talk doesn't seem like its helping you guys much. So you can have JV and I will take the best 9th grader in the state(and one of the best in the country) Ellison Jordan, Gilman's 6'5 270-280 9th grade OL who started again yesterday, Anotnio Dupree and Dorian Maddox anyday of the week.

Does MCD have a chance against the vaunted Dons?

[GREYHOUND ALUM]

Does MCD have a chance against the vaunted Dons?

Yes. From what I saw from Mcdonogh, they are better than Loyola. My question is, why didnt McDonogh start the kid Travis Wood against CHC instead of the 9th grader? He was impressive against Gilman.

I have to agree JV means zip. When was the last time they had JV scores in the Baltimore Sun? Never, because nobody cares it is a place for kids to grow their shills. That being said CHC does a great job with the JV every year. Potential means nothing if it is not realized. By the way I think the Hall has a chance to run the table!

To be fair, when is the last time the Sun had legitimate varsity scores in the paper? It is a complete joke.

Calvert Hall running the table, now that's funny!

Travis Wood starting the Gilman game kind of came out of left field. He made varsity as a sophomore in 2010, and was in open competition with Joel for the starting job. He threw something like 3-4 INTs against Curley in a scrimmage and that pretty much settled the competition right there. He'd been playing primarily as an LB since then.

For kids that aren't physically ready or have an established upperclassmen blocking their path, Fresh-Soph & JV provides playing time rather than splinter gathering on the varsity bench. As I mentioned in an earlier post, Adrian Amos, Stefan Janik, Stephen Kelly, Delando Johnson, Trevor Williams, DaQuan Davis, Kyle Levere & Garrett Epple didn't play varsity as freshmen. I forgot Emmanuel Holder & JP McManus. All vital cogs in CHC success the last 5 seasons. Unlike your son, Daniel Yarborough, Garrett Keene & Rashaun Smith, most young players at CHC start at the lower levels and progress accordingly.

[aacountyfootball]

Seems to me that CHC is in the driver's seat to go to the championship game, but I think there is very little that separates the rest of the teams. It would not shock me to see any of the other 5 teams meet Gilman in the championship. It would be nice to see MSJ make some noise and I think that they can.
