This game is over. People need to move on. Powell is a good team. They are going to do very well this year. And this is coming from a Webb fan, not a Powell fan.

The strength of a team like catholic is their execution. If catholic can prevent big plays against AE (which is hard to do), then i believe catholic will win. I watched the AE game on on demand, and i felt like Fulton had a more "solid" team. They got destroyed on special teams and big plays. Not to take anything away from AE, big plays has always been their game, and thats fine. But there are ways to prevent big plays, and if that happens, its going to be a close game. Its a tough game to pick. Since its still early in the season for AE, and they have a new coach, i goto pick Catholic in a close one. Catholic: 24 AE: 22 (AE will def. win if they play post season)

During the jamboree, it looked like powell had alot of people going both ways. Anybody know how many?

Correct me if im wrong, but you said: "If those two mistakes aren't made, it's not a close game" Suggesting that a game you lost, wouldnt have been CLOSE at all if 2 mistakes werent maid, is pretty rediculous. But your right, Powell rolls. 100-3.

Im going to think like a Panther who is a Webb fan. My analysis of the Webb vs West matchup: West's first 3 points were bogus. The referee called a roughing the kicker penalty when the West kicker didnt even get touched. (watch the film, its laughable) Therefore, i shall not count west's 3 points. (West -3) The west interception was also bogus. The ball clearly hit the ground, bounced up 2-3 feet into the hands of the west player. Webb surely would have scored on the drive. (Webb +7) Webb made a huge mistake fumbling on West's own 30 yardline. Webb surely would have scored. (Webb +7) If Webb would have kept a few key personel in the game, West surely wouldnt have scored a TD with 4 mins to go in the game. (West -7) If the referee didnt call that bogus clipping penalty on a run that went to West's own 2 yardline, Webb would surely score a TD, not settling for a FG. (Webb 7-3=+4) Final Score, Webb 38 (20+7+7+4) West 0 (10-3-7) The point is, its stupid to be so subjective in your self evaluation. The West Webb game was 20-10. Powell has lost 2 games in a row to Webb. Same teams basically from the year before. Both look better. It will be close.

Big penalties and turnovers often occur in season openers. That is why season opener's are ussually close games. The heat can also affect things for both teams. HPV or whatever said: "You didn't watch last years game, then. Powell outgained Webb 390 to 189 yards. Webb won the game because they capitalized on two huge Powell mistakes in the kicking game that led to 14 points for the Spartans. If those two mistakes aren't made, it's not a close game, but they were and Webb was good enough to take advantage of them to win the game. " your reasoning skills are most remarkable. With comments like these, its no wonder how powell always seems to have such an inflated opinion of themselves. You could take any game and liberally add and subtract events that would allow for the losing team to blow out the team that actually won. But the fact of the matter is: One team won and the other didnt. For example, lets say Powell fumbled the ball on their 30. Webb capitalizes with a field goal. In the mind of the Powell player if they hadnt of fumbled they would surely have scored on the drive. However, they could just as easily have gone 3 and out, fumbled again, or thrown an INT that resulted in a touchdown. The point is, its absurd to make statements like, "If X and Y hadnt of happened, it's not even close." Especially, in regards to a game that you LOST. ------------------- Anyways, keep on being overconfident. Just because you beat a rebuilding AE team in 1 quarter of play, doesnt mean much of anything. The real reason AE didnt do anything in the scrimage had more to do with their rediculously large O-line splits (which allowed powel to shoot right through) than Powell's elite skills. PS: Cody might want to tuck the ball, Friday night. Just a thought.
