MIAA A Playoffs Set

[GREYHOUND ALUM]

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.

JV is VERY important for development of players at most schools. There's no question about that but the success of a JV team is what means nothing. Gilman as well has had great players come from the JV, like Kenny Goins, Devon Porchia, Micah Kiser, Miles Norris, Bijan Rhett, etc.

But Gilman has done a great job of getting the superstar youth league players that are Varsity ready as of late. And the ones that might not be ready to start are getting valuable experience going up against the upperclassmen everyday at practice. Players like 9th grader Korey Stephens. Who is probably already the best pure WR on the team. He hasn't gotten the hype that the other star kids on Gilman's team have but he is every bit the prospect the other kids are and is going to be a star.

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.

I agree. I too believe that CHC is in the driver's seat. But like you, wouldn't surprised one but if they got upset. I think they really lucked out by the Turkey Bowl BS. Because I think Loyola or McDonogh would seriously give them a game(that's if Loyola QB is healthy) and are very capable of pullin off the upset. Spalding doesn't match up well with CHC. MSJ does.

This site is free today and I have nothing better to do. Playing kids early is a great recruiting tool and if they are ready, then it can be an investment. It is not good for a kid to be on Varsity for the sake of being on varsity and not get any reps. There is; however, a lot of value to getting the scout team reps and garbage time reps if you are playing for a team that is always up by a lot.

CHC is peaking at the right time and are the only team in the conference that can give the mighty Gilman a game. MSJ can't even beat Loyola how are they going to beat the Hall? CHC has the best skilled position players in the conference. Gilman has a stud qb who looks tired to me. My sleeper player is Robbie Jones who has worked is butt off and having a fine senior year. One thing I will tell you is CHC wants Gilman something the other teams in the conference cannot say!

I think CHC is the one team that believes they can beat Gilman. That goes a long way and they always have a good game plan on both sides of the ball every time that I watch them play Gilman. But that Gilman front 7 is the best that I have seen and that makes them almost impossible to beat unless you can get numbers in the running game with your qb.

Not sure what happened to MSJ, but they played chc tough. I think they believe they can beat chc. It would be great for that program is they make some noise.

Good Talk the Talk Mr. McD...

Now we shall see if The Hall can Walk the Walk...

Or will this be what I project, yet another so over hyped Duo of the Duds, a real ho-hum stinker of an over hyped game.

CHC versus Gilman --- Gilman versus The Hall. All the while, your daddy Good Counsel puts the both of them to bed and tuck the MIAA in every night.

Just sayin' Dan

Hahahaha! I'm not even going to comment on this one. Actually I will say knw thing, if Loyola's QB is healthy, the Turkey Bowl will be very interesting this year. It definitely won't be the blowout games it's been the last 3 years.

Mt. St. Joe matches up better with CHC when the Hall is missing 15 players, many who start or get quality time, for the first qtr. of the game.

Yeah because they did so much when they got in the game right? You weren't missing 15 starters. A bunch of those players never even see the field.

Those were the facts. We all know that when starters are held out it effects the flow and cohesiveness of the game. You act like Gilman is the 1972 Dolphins! They are good but can be beat. You are just a homer who gives no one else a chance. Without turnovers CHC wins the last game. Who knows maybe the hounds turn the ball over and lose to in the semis and don't even make the finals. But we all know that cannot possibly happen, right GA.

Gilman will have another running clock in the semis! They are beating MIAA opponents by 31.5 points I believe a game(which is an MIAA record). Turnovers are part of the game, Gilman turned the ball over as well. Gilman has gotten multiple turnovers in EVERY GAME! That's what they do, they are easily the best defense in the state. This is why Gilman will not lose. They will not lose to anyone in the MIAA.

CHC would have to play a perfect game and that includes being able to run the ball, which just isn't going to happen. And that Kuhms scramble stuff isn't going to work. I promise you, Gilman has watched that tape over and over and Stan will make the necessary adjustments. Everyone knows they will try and go after #10 Knudsen with Levere. Look for Troy Vincent to be covering him all day. The TE Evans was just locked down by Robert Branch. Of I'm Gilman, I'm rushing Wyatt Dickerson from the OLB position all game. Something they didn't do once last game.

Damn GA, I need to drop by WalMart to get a couple bibs for you. You're drooling.

[92 Card]

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

Your original bracket was correct. There will be no re-seeding after the quarters. The bracket is set. The semi finals will be played on Nov 10th at Stevenson's Mustang Stadium. CHC plays the MSJ/Spalding winner @ noon. Gilman plays the Loyola/McDonogh winner @ 5pm. The Championship games will be played at Unitas Stadium on the Saturday the 17th, not on a Friday, as was the case last year. A very interesting note to Championship Saturday - The B Conference Championship game will be played first and before the C Conference massacre.

B Conf Championship game - Noon
C Conf Championship game - 3:30pm
A Conf Championship game - 7:30pm

The last 4 or 5 games between Gilman and Calvert Hall have been the best in mid and northern md. What do you mean "over hyped". Where have you been?

[First_Down]

The last 4 or 5 games between Gilman and Calvert Hall have been the best in mid and northern md. What do you mean "over hyped". Where have you been?

Where have you been? If you want to restrict the knowledge of Calvert Hall to just 4 or 5 seasons then you may be on to something BUT it wasn't long ago that I can recall a .500 team or less Hall. Let me look this up to be sure:

2012 so far: 8 and 2
2011: 11- 2
2010: 10 - 1
2009: 8 - 4
2008: 4 - 7
2007: 5 - 6
2006: 1 - 8
2005: 5 - 5
2004: 3 - 8

So since 2004 to today, The Hall is 47 and 43 if my arithmetic is correct. That just isn't world beater numbers to me to warrant all the hoopla you guys want to direct that way. Yes The Hall is somewhat hot of late but again, not worthy of what you think they are, Over Hyped, with a winning season only going back just several years. I will point out also that in that same period, The Hall has lost to Gilman about 6 or 7 times and winning only twice so what thrills do you expect between the match up of the two! Over Hyped!!!! And get this regarding the publics, privates, and the publics can't hang with the likes of The Hall and that other non-sense, I see that PGCo Gwynn Park, Douglass, and Friendly -- boys from the hood, community boys and not recruited athletes -- took turns beating The Hall during one stretch. So please please halt the over hyped non-sense. You merely have a hot run. But you just ain't all that. Not according to the record books and history.

Now may I go back to something more interesting like watching paint dry!

We are in complete agreement here! I too believe the game is overhyped. CHC won two games and now they feel like its this rivalry. It's a one way rivalry, made on this board. You just went back to 2004, the Hall was bad for most of the decade before that and loss every game to Gilman. So they have I think 4 wins against Gilman in close to 20 years.

Ooppss, there it is... Read it and weep if you are of the CHC, We Are The Badest Thing On Two Heels Club. Well, You Ain't! Not Yet at what I said, 47 and 43, and getting torched by Gwynn Park and Douglass-PG in the same season and Friendly the following season.

Oh, and Just sayin'...

That's great, and all that jazz. The only problem is that state of Calvert Hall football before Davis' arrival was not the issue at hand until First down decided to deflect attention away from the real subject at hand and steer the topic away from his responses. All of this stemmed from First Down calling CHC v Gilman a "duo of duds" who have their daddy (Good Counsel) put Gilman, CHC and the rest ofthe MIAA to bed. Good job by First Down side tracking and avoiding direct answers to other posters comments. Bravo! First Down has been on here for weeks calling CHC vs Gilman a dud game and Benhur made it known the game hasn't been a "dud" since Davis' arrival. FD sidetracked the entire discussion and diverted attention away from his numerous comments calling the "current" state of CHC vs Gilman a "duo of duds".

Ben Hur said the last 4 or 5 CHC/Gilman games have been some of the most exciting games this area has seen in recent years. How can you plausibly deny that? Last Monday's game was the first double digit victory by either team since Davis' arrival. The 2008 game went into OT. CHC beat Gilman and ruined their homecoming in 2009. The 2010 CHC victory was one of the most electric games HS EVER in this area, along with the double OT Championship game at Towson last November. The regular season game decided by a 93 yd punt return with 3 minutes remaining in the game was a barn burner as well. Those games were "duds"? This was the topic at hand before First Down diverted your attention. UGH!

What in the heck does 2004 have to do with the current rivalry that has continued to develop and intensify since Davis' arrival? FD insinuated the game last Monday a Duo of the Duds, a real ho-hum stinker of an over hyped game.

Quote from First Down - "Will this be what I project, yet another so over hyped Duo of the Duds, a real ho-hum stinker of an over hyped game....CHC versus Gilman --- Gilman versus The Hall. All the while, your daddy Good Counsel puts the both of them to bed and tuck the MIAA in every night.

You fell for First Down's diversionary comments hook, line and sinker. You may have easily seen this if you were not so obsessed with Calvert Hall. Congrats on allowing the board antagonist to piss on everything without being checked. The current state of CHC vs Gilman has NOTHING to do with 20 years ago or 2004. I guess everyone should lay down, live in the past and accept whatever happened in the time frame First Down dictates. LOL. That way, there is no need for the present. BTW, CHC people are VERY aware of the dire condition of the football program before Davis' arrival. No one ever claimed CHC football didn't hit an all time low before Davis' arrival.


As far as your comment is concerned... The game is over hyped? You may want to let your Gilman people know about that one, because "Calvert Hall week" is a big week at Tech and YOU KNOW IT. I didn't coin that phrase. The folks at Gilman did. The Gilman players see it as a big, rivalry game and so do the coaches, now. Everyone knows you see CHC as a rival now, or you wouldn't spend most of your waking moments obsessing about CHC. Your QB was quoted in the paper after the game last Monday. He said he had to calm his teammates down because "it's our rival, Calvert Hall, and everyone was so pumped up", although you said they came out flat & unemotional in the 1st quarter. Another Gilman football player was quoted as saying "Calvert Hall week and McDonogh week" rolled into one is as exciting as it gets.... Hmmm.. Gilman premiered BRAND SPANKING NEW uniforms in one manner or another in 2010 and 2011 vs Calvert Hall, NOT McDonogh or ANY other teams since. The MIGHTY Greyhounds wore their matte black helmets again vs CHC this past Monday. The funny thing is they not only premiered those helmets in the 2011 championship game vs CHC, they did not use them in a SINGLE GAME until they faced CHC last Monday. However, CHC are not Gilman's rival. Bahhhh hahahahah. To whomever believes that one, I have some land for sale under the Brooklyn Bridge for sale

The fact that First Down referenced the years before Davis' arrival and said CHC is merely on a "hot streak" IS A JOKE! Great job omitting many, many facts. CHC will continue to be on a "hot streak" as long as the current staff is in place. CHC football will NEVER go back to what is was before Davis arrived. There are many, many differences in the program as a whole.

You are INSANE!! Torched??? LOL. What a joke Douglass (24-18) and Gwyn Park (28-24) barely beat Calvert Hall when CHC was at AN ALL TIME LOWpoint in the HISTORY of the program. Calvert Hall won 1 conference game that year and they lost to Newark (DL) by a score of 40-12 that season. Nice try, pal.
