At the midpoint of the season I would have given the Panthers a 70-30 chance of winning this game. Now it's 70-30 on favour of the Buccanneers. The passing game (which most years is a non-factor) was becoming respectable. The running game, while not up the the usual Maplewood standards, was also respectable. But as the season progressed the offense became no better. I think it has even regressed. The defense is likely better than the stats show. But it's hard stopping drives when the offense is three and out so often. And the punter who looked good earl is probably only averaging twenty yards a punt in the latter half of the season. Going for it on most fourth downs wouldn't be that bad a call in light of the poor punting game.

 

I think what's is at issue is the head coach WANTS to pass rather than grind it out on the ground. Our passing QB (we have a running one), who looked good early in the year, is now over-throwing and under-throwing a bunch. Luckily he's not throwing a lot of interceptions. Still, it's a lot of three and outs for the offense.

 

If the passing game isn't there this Friday and the HC concentrates on running early in the game, Maplewood may have a slim chance of grinding out a win. We have two big backs who can grind it out. They're just not as speedy as we are used to.

 

Bottom line: Boyd-Buchanan has too much offense and Maplewood doesn't have a quick strike offense that will be able to keep pace.

Goodluck to Boyd. They should beat Maplewood, but it won't be easy.

I think it will be close. The Bucs can't lose focus.

Gameday. The Bucs cannot look past this game. Need the same intensity as last week. I know Coach Reynolds has the team focused, and the seniors will lead us to a hard earned victory at The Swamp. 10-0 is in sight. Go get it Bucs!
