Gilman vs River Hill

[Outside Looking In]

You are exactly right about the TV. Unfortunately GA is too biased and would have said the Ravens were slow and small if they were playing last night. I don't think slow and small schools go undefeated in 3A- that is an idiotic statement from an idiotic poster. Towards the end of the game, Huntingtown took a timeout and Van Dusen was huddled around his offense. Van Dusen had some kids towering over him and Van Duesen is not a small guy.

As for the idiots post above mine, I don't think Gilman has a second string, if they do, then why does everyone play both ways?? If they didn't play both ways then maybe they wouldn't have been so tired against Moeller and got embarrassed on TV. Hypothetically, if they do have a second string, they wouldn't beat RH's first string- that is more assinine than saying RH's firsts could beat Gilmans firsts. So to GA, please leave. Nobody values your opinion and you continually say over the top things to prove how much of a jack ***** you are. I'm begging you, please leave. Come back next year.

Totally agree. He is the only one that responds about public private. None of the guys from CHC, McD, or DM get on here and talk superiority. They know better. They know that they should beat publics but dont have to degrade teams and announce. I think he is approaching 8600 posts. His son must be proud.

You're a clown and I have ran you off the board before, don't make me do it again. I'm only responding to you because I HATE when people talk and never get to the games or actually seen the teams play. It is obvious that the only time you saw Gilman play was on TV against Moeller.

But since you know so much about Gilman, tell me how many two way starters Gilman has! And who are they? If you can't, NEVER speak again on this board because you just made statements about Gilman as fact and i just called you out and saying thay you're lying! And I'm not talking about starters in the first game of the year, I'm talking about the end of the year. I will help you out, Gilman's starting lineup was MUCH different at the end of the year than the first game. So tell me big guy, if you can't than you have ZERO credibility because you keep speaking of what you don't know.

Listen here BIG GUY, I didn't memorize Gilmans roster (names or numbers) and I never will (there is only one idiot I know that does that), but I can tell you this, Poggi plays both ways and it showed b/c against Calvert Hall he was walking around the field on defense instead of chasing plays down from behind. You didn't see that last night. I saw Gilman play 3-4 times this year and was unimpressed in all of them (Moeller, GC and CH maybe one more).

And you will never run me off this board. I am only on here to remind people how much of a jack@$$ you are and I enjoy that way too much.

Gilman would destroy every public school team in the state and in fact every team that's not GC. The thing is, I'm not a Private School supporter. I'm a Gilman supporter. But I can't ignore what's going on. The state is now a Private school heavy state. It is what it is. I heard my esteem friends Guru and 85Knight tell me after seeing Westminster against a WV team that they could stay with Gilman. Then to have them lose to QO, a team that lost to a Seneca Valley team that lost to Urbana and Damascus. Sorry but Gilman would destroy QO and they also would do the same to Wise.

Maybe Westminster losing to QO doesn't mean that they couldn't play with Gilman but it might mean that QO could play with Gilman too. We'll find out a little bit more about them tonight. If you want to talk about the publics size and speed matching up with the privates this game tonight should be a good showcase for you.

This year you can't ignore North Point beating Friendship 27-18 as an example of a public vs. private matchup. They met late in the season when all things were equal and Friendship was able to hang with Bergen Catholic so they're no slouch. That's why I say you never know what will happen unless you see it on the field. We need more matchups like this when both teams are in mid season form.

I agree with you. But honestly the privates and publics dont have anything to gain from playing each other. Publics need the points and playing a private is a tough sell. I like some of the match-ups, but a good public will not play Gilman for obvious reasons. Gilman would rather play OOS rather than play Dunbar. It is that simple.

Again LYING! You didn't see Gilman play 3 or 4 times, stop with the lies. Poggi had a MONSTER GAME against CHC. In fact, he was so impressive the Rivals guy Adam Friedman couldn't stop talking and writing about it. You weren't impressed with Gilman beating CHC by 4 TD's? God stop lying!

There were WAY MORE guys last night that started both ways than Gilman starts! This is a FACT! FYI, at the end of the year Gilman only started two players both ways, Poggi and Miles Norris.

Now that it has been proven that you have NO CLUE what you're talking about and have lost all credibility with the lies, stop speaking!

Friendship isn't a private school and Friendship last year is a different team than they were his year. Last year they had a Top 5 player Nationally in Eddie Goldman and a very good RB. You see what happened to Friendship this year in NJ.

I expect Wise to beat QO. QO beat Westminster without their starting QB, who is out for the year. I definitely think both teams would fare better against the Privates than River Hill but can't see either of them beating GC or Gilman.

F You.. I at least saw them play 3 times. I don't lie like you- I saw CH, GC and Moeller at a minimum. No, I wasn't impressed. Their defense was good and their offense was Pop Warner. Not impressed for the 3rd best team in the state that prides itself on TRYING to be the best and spends tons of resources recruiting the, supposed, best players in the state. Not impressed at all. I seen people fired for less.

That is his point meathead. North Point (a public school that didn't make the playoffs and lost to Huntingtown) beat Friendship worse than Bergen Catholic did. I would like to hear your response to this?

[prepfan]

I can't believe it's taken me this long to realize how appropriate it is that he is known as "GA"; not short for Greyhound Alum, but more certainly "Gilman As_hole"

And yes, it constantly expels nothing but hot air


I know now I'll be continually entertained when I see the next 8500 posts. [especially the ones where he tries to "taunt" me about CHC (two years ago he was equally as wrong about my 'allegiance' because he took my screen name to think I was a G. Prep fan), though, of course, he is never wrong )

I hope you and the boys are happy, JUST WATCHING, this weekend.

This is probably the most lucid post I have read this year. Making comparisons between Gilman, GC, Dematha and any public is asinine. If those teams couldn't beat publics, then their entire coaching staffs should be fired. And GA, don't fill us with your BS that Gilman is only interested in the academic success of their school. If that we're the case, the would be another St. Paul's or something on that order. They recruit for football....don't try to sell us on anything else. GC does it and isn't shy about it, and neither is Dematha. BTW, Moeller does the same. That is the advantage you all live with, so please let it go and shut up! Enough of the nonsense in trying to make Gilman sound humble. They aren't.

Saw both QO and Wise tonight, and wasn't overly impressed with either. QO seemed faster and Wise was bigger, but neither seemed all that dominant. Agree that TV slows the game down, but I did not see Wise as a fast team, only just a bit bigger than QO, who lost to a Seneca Valley team that was mediocre. Not sure why you think they are better than RH. Huntingtown was better than both teams playing tonight.

I just happen to know that Wise's prime little runningback who rushed for some 1,500 yards was limited due to an injury suffered several weeks ago. He played last week against Meade but for only a very little time. Wise came off as just big and strong to the lay because QO run the ball repeatedly up the gut. Had QO attempted to exploit the edge as Meade did, you would have seen far more run downs by the Wise linebackers in the QO back field as Meade experienced the previous week. One thing that really surprised me was that Wise did not throw more to its 6' 5" TE who was guarded by QO defenders who could not have been more than 5' 9" or !0". That's how Wise broke the backs of teams all year long. That and circle routes routes by their runningbacks out of the back field with #1, 2, and 3. I don't think Wise passed the entire first half. They don't pass a lot BUT the four or five times they did each game in each half all season long was back breaking to opponents with that football rebounder TE. I've seen enough of Wise all season long to say RH and Huntingtown would have gone down to Wise and that the big title games are sometimes not the best assessment stage for teams as the season's body of work.

[85Knight]

Wise's defense was very impressive but their offense was just as unimpressive. They're a good team but I definitely believe River Hill would give them a game.

Yeah after seeing them, I have to agree. I was wrong, River Hill definitely could play with both if those teams. In all honesty, I think Dunbar would beat both Wise and QO.

This is a joke right? I would take the QO, Wise, River Hill, and Huntingtown teams I saw over the Dunbar team I am watching right now 100 out of 100 times.

[50defense]

The Hawks could hang and would be competitive against QO or Wise. They execute very well on offense and the defense is outstanding each year.

Gilman would be a tough one for them. I think the QB would give the Hawks fits with his power running game. The QB from AHS last year had a lot of success and is 1/2 the player of Gilman's QB.

I think the offense would could be successful if they can get to the LBs. I am not sure they can because of the outstanding players they have up front. RH could beat Calvert Hall or Loyola on a given Saturday without question. They match-up very well against the talent on those two teams. McD and ST.Joe would be underdogs against this year's RHHS team.

I think all those teams would beat Dunbar because of coaching but I definitely think Dunbar has more talent than all those teams. IMO, I give River Hill the edge against them all. They are very well coached

I disagree, RH does not have the right offense to hang with McD. McD's offense was so bad early in the season that RH would have had a chance early on, but there's no way RH beats the McD team that was playing at the end of the season with Wood at QB. I'd say 21-7, 21-14, or 28-14 or somewhere along those lines as a final score. The front 7 of McD is too good to allow that Wing-T offense of RH to drive against them on a consistent basis. RH's defense is good too, but I think Jabari, Taysean, and Syl Brown are too much for them athletically.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, you need a great passing offense if you want to hang with MIAA teams. A CHC team in a down MIAA beat Dunbar by 24, Dunbar has given up 23 points total in the 12+ games they've played since then. MIAA defenses are too good to consistently move the ball on the ground. Even though they lost in the semis, I'd still give Westminster the best shot at taking down an A Conference team on a warm day with good conditions for passing. You need that quick strike element to match a team with more talent and/or better coaching.

I think Westminster would have a good chance against CHC and McD. It's too bad that Westminster turned down the offer from McD to play Week 4 this season. We would have actually had 3 good public vs. MIAA A games to look at. It's also too bad that RH is locked into the schedule they are, I'd like to see them play McD and/or CHC.

If Westminster wasn't losing most of their weapons on offense this year, I'd say I would like to see Westminster-CHC in the I-95 Classic to open up the 2013 season.

OK. I think I got it. So if RH put in Gilmans offense they would beat McD. by three touchdowns.
