Is Largo any good? I know they hail from PG are they a middle of the pack player? Lower? Upper echelon?

Largo is a team rebuilding; a complete overhaul. The school AD stepped in and took over the football coaching duties this year because he did not like the direction the program was heading. This coach hails from Frederick Douglass High School - PG where he played and later coached. Much is expected of Largo in the coming years from those who have a finger on the pulse of PG football. Many of the coaching assistants from the championship Friendly teams have moved to Charles County ( I wonder who won 3A states last year ) but at least one latched on with Largo. We should see "lower" Largo rise in the coming years. I've already noticed more kids on the squad. Many of the Wise HS talents hail from Largo and Douglass-PG. But for now, Largo will be the whipping post for the upper echelon teams of Gwynn Park and Douglass-PG.

With McDonogh squeaking out a win against Georgetown Prep, what chance does CHC have on Halloween against the Eagles? I think Calvert Hall avoids the letdown they had after the Gilman win and gives McDonogh a tough game. At least I hope so.

I don't think Calvert Hall can take too much from its win over Largo. After all, Largo is something like 2 and 6 with 31-6 and 32-0 losses to Gwynn Park and Douglass-PG respectively. Poly beat Largo 40-26. Largo even lost to a Friendly team who is but a shell of what it once was just a couple years ago. Largo even lost to a very weak Surrattsville. But Largo managed to put it all together in a most surprising 12-6 win over Potomac whom I thought was going to be much better than they've shown this season.

So Calvert Hall only got a relatively easy win... No more; no less.

That was my point exactly. That's why I said they will avoid a letdown. Largo was no comp. However, McDonogh will be extremely difficult.

92 Card · #8 10-23-2009, 11:37 PM

Calvert Hall appeared to be in cruise control from the beginning and did not play with much emotion. They seemed to be going through the motions for a good portion of the game. They had a touchdown called back at the end of the 1st half and the game ended with CHC on Largo's 1 yard line. Largo had some quality athletes but they could not put it together as a team today. The score could have easily been 42-0

Calvert Hall was largely successful running the ball between the tackles with their three headed monster of underclassmen running backs. However, they never seemed to stay in rhythm on offense and consequently had a handful of drives stalled inside of Largo territory. Sophomore Brandon Neverdon was in a groove today but the carries were also distributed to Sophomore CJ Williams and freshman Garrett Keane, who saw considerable action at RB today in his return from injury. Coach Davis now has the luxury problem of keeping three excellent running backs happy for the next 2 plus seasons. Sophomore Steffen Wilkens played QB for most of the 4th quarter. Sophomore WR Trevor Williams missed his second game in a row due to an injury he suffered vs Gilman. His services will be needed vs McDonogh on Halloween.

The defense was stout, shutting out a team who scored 26 points vs. Poly earlier in the season. Sophomore DE Emanuel Holder stepped up today, making some big plays containing Largo's athletic QB, who seemed to run a keeper every other play.

Guru, I think CHC plays McDonogh tough as well. They can move the ball on the Eagles defense, but they have to capitalize on their opportunities. I do not think anyone can stop Rudy Johnson at this moment, but if the Cardinal defense can make him one dimensional and Adrian Amos and the Calvert Hall dbs can lock down Gabe Macis and the Eagle receivers, they can most certainly win this game.... Those are big ifs, but i think it can be done.

CHC starting defensive line of Corey Bolek, Stefan Janik and Dan Yarborough have been very consistently tough for the entire season. They virtually stuffed Largo's offensive line which allowed the LB's to make lots of key plays. Janik was in the QB's face all day as he has been to most of the opposing QB's all season. Both Holder and Brian Nickel were excellent in their DE support roles.

Their key test will come on Saturday against MCD and of course going forward to the Turkey Bowl.

Kudos to the entire defense who always leave it all on the field.

I hope the CHC linebackers don't bite on the Rudy Johnson's playaction fake like they did against the Georgetown Prep QB. Johnson is much faster than the GP QB and he'll make the Cardinals pay if the defensive ends don't contain.

johnnybegoode · #12 10-29-2009, 06:32 AM

Johnson is a thrower, and a great one. But he is not a scrambler, and he is not faster than the GP QB, nor does he control (fake) the ball like the Prep QB does. CHC should not bite on any fakes and dismiss the notion of Johnson running. The only way to beat Johnson is with pressure, which usually means blitzes.

Prep had McD down 26-7 with six minutes to go, and they did it with blitzes. Prep went into a prevent after that, and Johnson went to work. The Hall can beat McD if we are single-mindedly focused on pressuring Johnson.

I didn't say Johnson was a scrambler. I said he was faster than GP's QB. I've seen both play and Johnson is clearly looks to be the faster player. If you'd like you can go time both in the 40, be my guest. Nonetheless, pure speed doesn't make a QB a great runner. After watching CHC all season, I've watched the d-ends and OLB's bite on fakes and collapse inside, while leaving the QB to run free on the outside.

johnnybegoode · #14 10-29-2009, 06:51 PM

I have seen CHC all year, too, and I think te Hall will beat McD if they pressure the heck out of Johnson who, as I said, is not a concern if he is flushed him out of the pocket and make him scarmble.

jay 1 · #15 10-29-2009, 08:14 PM

CHC have no answer for Rudy. The DB's will bite you wait and see then it will be lights out for Cardinals.

pringle · #16 10-29-2009, 10:59 PM

Teams have been pressuring Johnson all year. He has managed to make plays both throwing and running. He has quick feet, is big and strong. He is very tough to bring down. CHC will have their hands full, but anything can happen. The pressure will be on MCD. We will see how they handle it.

letsgoO's · #17 10-29-2009, 11:31 PM

Not sure what y'all have been lookin at but Johnson is definitely a threat to run the ball and he's also a major threat throwing on the run. He does fine under pressure, he's mobile enough to sidestep the rush and get a pass to his receivers.

I am not understanding where people are getting this stuff that Johnson can't run. He can run, he can pas, he can pass on the run. The kid is for real. If it wasn't for Cosh putting up absurd numbers, he would be 1st Team All State at QB.

You are right, the pressure is on Mcdonogh but I think they will get it done.

CHC's defense had the answer for Rudy Johnson (7-12 and 97 yds passing, 5 sacks). The Cardinals just didn't have the answer for the refs. That interference call was boarderline. The football looked uncatchable. I think the ball was at least a foot over the receivers head and about a yard or two out of bounds. Hell, Johnsons TD was suspect because he fumbled the ball at the goalline but the refs called it a TD. Otherwise, it was a great game. I think I will go to see the McDonogh-Gilman game. It should be a good one.
