Is Grace rebuilding? What's the deal with them? I was looking at their roster. They have over 20 kids listed at 6 feet or better. They have more than 5 kids listed at 6"4 or more. I understand size isn't everything, but in 2A they seem to have a lot of it.

I walked out onto the field the other night and I was very impressed with the size of some of those boy's. I always like it personally if the QB is tall which he is and looked very good throwing and running and only a 10th grader. I looked at that program also and I would say for the most part the coach isn't fudging with those numbers at all.

We all know they get a lot of kids coming in there. The tuition is cheaper than CAK, Webb and Catholic so it's a nice alternative for them.

I've been a little disappointed with the lack of support it seems they've had in years past. I've barely read anything from Pride or Raven and those guys used to be regulars on here. I actually enjoyed conversing with them, especially during basketball!! I'm sure they've got good reason for nit being able to been here and I highly respect the Grace posters. Most of them seem to be class acts!

They didn't get a single player from what I'm hearing this year. I think they usually have got a few every year but you can't count on that because those are gifts and this year the supply was cut off. Have a feeling why Raven and Pride aren't on here this year but that's their business but it sure would be nice to hear from them.

Go CAK. lol

Thanks guys, I'll take all the support we can get! It's always interesting when these 2 meet up. I'm looking forward to seeing the Grace QB and a new offense. I just hope he doesn't have a banner night Friday! One thing about the spread is that you have to be able to pitch and catch to make it work. I remember a few years ago when a team I pull for, Oak Ridge, ran the spread and couldn't pass. It didn't take long for the opponents to figure out all they were doing was trying to spread the defense out to run. I suspect that this will not be the case with Grace, however, and that they'll have some athletes. They always do.

Govolsknox, I'm no expert, but from what I saw last Friday, you suspect correctly.  Competition from a big school like Jeff Co. may have been the reason, but I wasn't that impressed with the run game.  The passing game did look to be the strength of the offense, but week 1 does not a season make.  I'm sure they've been working on ball security this week as well.

Installing a new offense can be tricky, especially in season 1. I suspect the coach believes he has the athletes to make it work if not perfectly this year, over this QB's next year or two. Still could be some kinks to work out, especially early in the season. Or maybe that's wishful thinking on my part.

I'll be pulling for the Rams on Friday, but I just hope they don't forget which game is the most important of the gauntlet they have the first half of the season.  Oliver Springs is the only conference game squeezed between Jeff Co, CAK, Campbell Co, and Webb.  That's brutal for GCA's school size.

      Pickett is good, may have a Mr. Football like season if he’s used correctly. One of the best teams Marion has fielded in a while. I think they go 12-1 and loose to ER.  ER has better players at almost every position. If they play discipline this year, they win soundly. If they don’t though…Marion could sneak away with it.

      I’m betting the house on the Indians. Pickett and Co will be the only team to challenge the Indians in the East. Huntingdon can in the West. I think Brooks goes 15-0 and has the first perfect season and state championship in ER history.

      Sounds like a great opportunity has opened up for the football team.  With the head coach of the diamond rebels making it official and quitting this week, there should be some room for the gridiron guys to benefit. I assume the administration won’t continue paying six figures to two former coach that quit to continue teaching drivers Ed. Thats pretty good money that could be redirected toward the football program. Also, with the more recent policies of pushing kids to only play one sport, abolishing the baseball program altogether would help on Friday nights in the fall. There is some decent speed on that baseball team that should’ve been playing on Fridays IMO. I’m not sure if anybody would really miss that baseball program anyway with it being across town from the school. The liability of letting players actually use the facilities could also be mitigated with closing the program. That liability seems to be a really big issue for 825. Anyway, it seems like a great opportunity is available.
