on line radio station stopped working.

I have been gone for a while since my kids both graduated years ago but have continued to follow FC football.  Having been around during the incredible back to back 2011/2012 runs you might say "completely different players" and while that's true, it's nearly the same coaching staff and experience at "the big dance" counts.  Very proud that FC is back in the big game.  304 high school football programs, only 18 teams make it to the final.  That's a huge compliment for both FC and DCA.  Only 9 walk away with gold, here's to hoping FC brings home their 3rd gold ball!

So what is your scouting report on St. George's?

wish I had one

The Northpoint at FC game was a lot closer than the final score of 35-10 made it look.  Was close up until the final 6 minutes. Northpoint threw 2 pick 6's in the final 5 minutes (one right at their own goal line that was returned 97 yards) then a third to ice themselves.  FC will have their hands full returning to St. Georges who knocked them out last season.

I would like to see an FC/DC rematch.  I was at this game at it looked like 2 teams had stolen the FC and DC uniforms and were out there playing.  I want to see this re-match because I think both teams just had an off night.  Would be great to see them both face each other at their real potential.

But it looks like Davidson fell in to a long losing streak for 6 games with only one being close.  USJ seems to have a much better unit.

You can just never count BB out. Even after an 0-5 start.  That 0-5 start means zero when the season "restarts" for playoff week 1.

I must say that the FC defense was completely stellar.  Reminded me of the 2011/2012 defense that won state.  Number 3 must be the fastest guy on the team.  A DC player broke away headed to the end zone with no one near him and somehow 3 came out of no where, ran him down, then the FC defense made the stop on all 4 downs.  Incredible.

A loyal FC fan would NEVER attack a 15-18 yr old player. Sometimes your better off being silent and thought a fool rather than opening your pie hole on a public forum and erasing all doubt!

I'd recommend you introduce yourself to the coaches and share your vast knowledge and experience on playing center vs making crazy statements about them not advancing past the first rd of playoffs since that hasn't happened once while you supposedly have followed the FC team.

I feel sorry for you man.  "Attacking" a player?? Seriously?  I know all the coaches.  Sorry man. I feel sorry for you.

Wow, how long have you followed FC football or just high school football in general? I ask because I'm shocked that you would call out any 15-18 yr old student athletes on a public forum. Especially less than 2 hours after they just went to 7-1 with their 3rd consecutive win over a rival, on the road, without their #1 tailback. Most grown men might think or even speak on these boards in generalities or might even argue coaching moves but rarely will a "fan" attack kids.

As for the player you mentioned most FC fans, coaches, parents, & players would tell you their center is a 2-time state champion in football, 1 in baseball, & 1 in basketball. He's a 3 yr all-region football player who's class is closing in on the all-time wins record for any FC football class.

As for the (in your opinion) "unexcuseable bad snaps" I'm sure no one felt worse than him and no one will need to hold him accountable because he'll do it himself more than any coach or wannabe "fan" could. He won't say that one hit the Qb in the face mask and another went thru a rb hands in the wildcat formation. He won't say it was wet, or that he never asked to play center nor will he remind you how FCS played without him in last yrs playoff loss or that his team rushed for over 300 yds for the 8th straight game this year. Instead, if I know him like I think I do he'll strap it on next week and try to improve. He'll encourage those around him and compete his hardest from the snap thru the whistle each play. He'll take his football failures and learn life lessons from them and be a better man than so called adult "fans" who've probably never played a down for a winner like FC, like you.

Easy there now.  I have been a strong supporter of FC for 15 years, both kids there, followed the sports programs in detail for the past 5 years.  Also played football (actually center) in another state for 4 years for a dominant team, same sized school as FC.  This public forum is reviewing the game, that's all I'm doing, just like everyone else.  You'd be hard pressed to find a more loyal FC fan anywhere on here.  Just giving my observations of what I have seen.  I love the school, love the team.  Stand up for them everywhere, especially after the huge controversy at Boyd in 2011.  

How does FC fix the problems when they are in week 9 now? Snapping the ball over the QB's head twice and 3 consecutive off sides penalties are week 1 mistakes, not week 9. They won't survive the first round of the playoffs like this.

"The Slop Bowl" is what I would call this game.  Both teams looked they have never had a practice.  FC has got to replace their center.  Once again he snapped a shotgun over the head TWICE.  Un-excuseable.  That's what burned us against Webb.  Really thought this would be like a 35 to 41 type game.

Last 7 match ups between these two:

FC 4/DCA 3

FC points-175

DC points-165

So-pretty even teams over the years.

I've seen a couple FCS games this season. Truth is they are a zero threat passing game team, I fully expect DCA to load the box and spy #8 and the freshman QB.  If DCA can throw the ball with average success, this game should go down to the wire.

FC is zero threat in passing?  What games did you go to?  Obviously not the same ones I was at.  Sure they have had some off games and throws but they can pass.

I've said it all along, BB will win out and end the regular season at 5-5.  Too bad they will get knocked out in round 2 or semi's.

FCS travels to DCA to decide who will be number two in the district. Huge travel implications for the postseason.

Should be a very competive game. Both teams will score at will. Last one with the ball wins.

FCS 42

DCA 35

I hope you are correct with your score prediction but I am concerned that FC struggled so much with Davidson last week who hadn't won a game in over a month.  On the flip side, FC didn't lose to Knoxville Webb nearly as bad as DCA did.

Learned quite a bit about Mr. Gray and the Cardinals when we (FC) played them in the 2012 championship.  I was glad to beat them but I walked away saying, "Someone needs to make a movie about that team".  It would be right up there with "Remember the Titans" and "Friday Night Lights".  And from what I understand, Mr. Gray has a lot to do with it.  Wish we had details.

No way Loretto wins this.  One of their wins was against Perry County who hasn't just "lost"  games this year, they have been absolutely "annihilated".  Their other win was against Collinwood who only squeaked out one win against that same Perry County.

Now they play TC who is actually better than their 4-3 record shows.  I am not a TC fan but they will win their last 3 games ending with a 7-3 regular season record and getting a first round bye.

Bucs can certainly pull this off.  Just depends on who shows up.

Have missed the last 2 games.  Did I hear correctly that they are back to using the Wildcat like in 2011 with Kyle Wood?  How is that going?

Settle down Bucs.  You beat a team that is currently sitting at a point total of 102 for and 321 against where as you are currently sitting at 125 for and 169 against.  I know, I know "a win is a win" and I still say ya'll can finish at 5-5.

What back replaced Hollis?

As bad of a start to the season that BB has, they could honestly end the season at 5-5.  S. Pitt and Cooper could go either way.  Last year they end at 4-6 and somehow get a first round bye. Anything could happen although this isn't the BB team from '11 or '12 that ended at 9-1

DCA takes this one for sure BUT I do think that Boyd has a very good chance of ending the regular season at 5-5.
