Anyone who's watched EHS play this year already knows this, but it's nice to get it out there for everyone to see. I can't wait for Friday! Here's wishing safe travels to all GP players, coaches, and fans. We're looking forward to seeing you on Friday.

I was perusing through GP's roster on unapproved website and noticed that it has the #42 listed at 6'2" and 240lbs. I knew that GP had a big back, but that is very stout, especially for a sophomore. Does anyone know if that is an accurate height and weight? I know that rosters get polished sometimes to a inch here and a pound or two there so I was just curious.

Got to see him play... that sounds pretty accurate.

That's about right. Doesn't have great speed, but it's good enough. He's a load to bring down.

[05BlueRaider]

size and weight are about right. very physical runner and hard to knock down. a true vintage GP running back. saw him play the gibbs game and secondary looked like bowling pins.

This should be a great matchup then. Unless I'm mistaken, EHS has only given up 100 rushing yards twice this season. Once was to Sullivan North and their wing-t offense (it's hard not to give up some rushing yards to a good wing t school.). The other was Sullivan South when their QB had 3 runs of 20+ yards.

one thing I know is the cyclones tackle well and they gang tackle. They have big fast D line men and ends. All in great shape no one over weight and great depth with the three up front rotating in between 6 or 7 kids and you see no difference. The two middle LB are strong power lifters and fast and when they hit the running backs they start to bow up a little the next time through and not hit the holes quite as hard. I guess it must sting a little.. It will be hard to bowl over Turner and Moore they stays around the feets...good tacklers and they have the speed to beat anyone to the corner. gone be a good game though..
