Yes, very interesting game plan.  Gotta hand it to them for creativity.   They are playing about as well as could be expected. Only down 21-0 at the half is actually respectable.  

Agreed. MD only had 4 possessions. Serra has not seen anything this season remotely close to the MD defense.

Serra is playing stupid, gimmicky football. The only thing they are trying to do is to window dress the score. And it bites them in the ass

I give them props for at least trying to do something different.  You can’t realistically game plan against overwhelmingly superior talent that is equally or better coached.

Serra would be D2 with Mission Viejo if they played down here.  They need to improve their schedule so they can get use to the speed and size of MD.  MD is playing in the trinity and against St. Frances, Bishop Gorman, and other top teams in USA while Serra is playing against Sacred Heart and VC

Serra is playing SJB next year….

I guess.  7 pts in 3 SBG for them. They have a decent defense,  but I never have thought anything of them offensively. Boring team to watch. Say what you will about Dela and the veer. To me they are way more interesting to watch than Serra.

This.
@HurricaneNick do you think EJ rides off into the sunset? IMO he stayed on one year after Rollo out of loyalty to the program and to maintain some staff continuity. Plus the fact that he had a D1 player at every position. 
We already know we are going to replace the OC, but let’s see who will fill EJ’s massive shoes.

I can assure you that the schedule isn’t going to change anything. The talent disparity is massive, especially on the lines. Think about this, Mater Dei has a freshmen starting on their OL who is from the Grant youth program. Likely the best OL in NorCal for his grade. How in the hell are NorCal teams supposed to compete with MD/SJB when our literal best players go there? Only way Serra can close the gap is if they are start aggressively recruiting and even then they would be underdogs.

Maybe it’s time to eliminate the state title games and just have North and South titles, at least at the highest level where the biggest discrepancies exist.

let winner of Bosco/MD play the Nevada state champ (BG) and let the rest of Cali have a real playoff without these academy teams.
