They lost a lot this year but I expect they will be strong given the sponsorship of UnderArmour. They recently picked up a qb transfer from Malvern Prep. Not sure of others. 4 minutes ago, PrepGridiron said: Anybody know what SJC brings, bigDrop?? Never mind.

Looks like they played lost to IMG, Dematha, and Gonzaga....all close games. They avenged the defeat to Gonzaga, I believe. Could be a really good game. Home n Home with BG is money! . Looks like DLS is feeling pretty good about themselves these next two years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cossacks Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Not a horrible schedule. BG and SJ games look promising. St. Francis meh, not moving the needle. Should blow out BOD, Central game won't be close either. But then they jump into the belly of the EBAL gauntlet so I can understand the pre-season schedule. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree on the other non-league but Central won their section, BOD won a state title and St. Francis tied for the top in arguably the best league in NorCal. For three NorCal teams, that's not bad.

BOD did win a state title, but also got blown out by Freedom? I'd give 35 points on that one today. Central? Didnt they lose to Bullard? If we were taking baseball in the 80's and 90's that wood be great (Bullard was an elite baseball power) but in 2016 football, yikes!

BigDrop Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 St. John's has a great deal of support from Kevin Plank who graduated from there. They beat IMG 35-2 several years ago and last year beat both St. Joseph's Regional and Pittsburgh Central Catholic while losing to IMG in a rematch. They compete heavily with DeMatha to pull the best athletes out of the 9.5 million Washington, D. C./Baltimore area. Last year St. John's had several significant transfers from Gilman and a four star from Orlando. For the coming year is the qb from Malvern Prep which I mentioned elsewhere. Under Armour is heavily investing in them and is positioning them on the national stage. Locally, the competition between St. John's and DeMatha is intense-and that is an understatement. With DeMatha playing Gorman in Vegas and St. John's playing De La Salle in Concord, we'll find out how far D. C. area football has come. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For three NorCal teams, that's not bad. Cossacks tough to please cue the me propping up the schedule accusations, but.... ....you have a still young team (I think they'll be better in '18) whose starting center weighed 175# scheduling.... ..... 2-time defending USAT MNC, a game which has turned into maybe the biggest grudge match in hsfb that hasn't happened.... ..... plus the top team in DC, that is only team that's beaten IMG and beat the #2 teams in both NJ and PA last year that will at very least be very very athletic ..... then remember that DLS is likely to end season vs a top5ish Team that will be whoever emerges among MD SJB and CC thats as good of "strength at the top" as you're likely to find next year BOD, SF, and Central....... meh. They're good local teams that could all compete for #2 in NV..... ..... and EBAL and NCS aren't likely to test any national elite team (if that's what DLS is next season) but are as good or better than most top 25's bottom half (waaaay better than BG's), which are largely irrelevant as elite measuring sticks for anyone anyways BG by itself would have been great (especially with the grudge factor) -- SJC may be the best "undercard" DLS has had -- Lakeland '09 might be the comparison (behind MNC DBP) -- and there will be a monster at the end next year (hard to imagine the "winner" of MD-SJB-CC being outside top 5 and, if undefeated, could very well be #1 i know the usual folks will come along and call me a schill but I like this schedule a lot -- I'm a little surprised by both BG (there has definitely been some bad blood inhibiting this game from happening) and getting a 2nd marquee game with St. John's -- coaches must like this team more than I thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anybody plays the 'selectively scheduled because we're young and untested' card as much as you do. Same with last year and same with Alumbaugh's first year where you argued that they scheduled weak because they wanted to give him a 'soft' landing. It doesn't get any less lame.

Yes, one of two interesting games but still leaves you open to the legit possible criticism that DLS scheduled them after their best graduating class ever exited.

No matter how guaranteed that game is (and it is guaranteed) it's nothing more than an acknowledgement that the regular season schedule isn't good enough and therefore you have to make stuff up.

Bishop O'Dowd and St. Francis are garbage, Pops. Their combined record against the calpreps top 1000 last year was 1-3. Bishop O'Dowd lost to Freedom by 30. They beat Capital Christian and Rancho Cotate by 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
