If you think for one second that anyone in the USJ camp is overlooking this game, you are sadly mistaken. The win over Knoxville Webb was huge, but it was only a step to the state championship game. The regular season game with St George was a lot closer than the final score indicates. With 3 or 4 State Runner-Up Plaques in the trophy case, I guarantee you Marley and crew know that the final game is what matters, and there is not one kid that will be worried about the size of their rings until Dec 2nd.
I do agree with you about the 9 days can't get here fast enough.
