FRA @ LA

[theawesomebro]

the D2 games this week don't look amazing but this one seems to be the most intriguing even if I am a little biased.  who thought this would be two 4-0 teams?  even I thought LA might lose one of their out of district games up to this point. 

on one hand, geisinger has that program believing and that running back is a stud.  they have decent wins over DA (maybe not as good as we thought but well coached) and NCS.

however, LA has been particularly stingy against the run especially at home.  goodpasture had 2 yards rushing, I think.  calvert hall had 56.  LA's home field advantage is pretty good these days, too.  

what do you guys think?  i'll hang up and listen.

Trying too hard to sell this one my friend!  

Everyone knows this has blowout all over it!  FRA won't score.  "Intriguing"....I need you for my hype man!

haha!  thanks but all it takes is one missed tackle and ty clark is gone.  that kid is legit.  no one has scored on LA's starting D at home since pulaski academy last year.  I think FRA might change that.  

I just know LA surprised everyone pretty quickly and FRA's new coach is a great coach.  I know dilfer isn't overlooking these guys.

As much as I respect Coach Geis as a person and for the program he built at Pope, LA just has too many dudes compared to FRA.  Geisinger will see his 2-0 record vs Trent go to 2-1 on Friday.

David Libscomb will beat the tar out of FRA and ever body else they play this year,. They are real good. I hope Josh Hypel is payin attention. David Libscomb has a lot of boys that can play on saturdys.

I think there are 2 two teams with something to prove showing up tonight.  I can't wait...

Only one team has something to prove tonight and it isn’t the home team.  The other team got over the hump last year in beating CPA and collecting a gold ball. They are nationally ranked and so far living up to expectations.

@theawesomebro has the "don't look ahead" mentality which is the correct thing to do!

They aren't winning tonight, but I think in general FRA is on the upswing.  Huge coup to land Geisenger, and as I wrote before, they have a ton of current and former Titans with kids there...including GM Jon Robinson.  They want to win there, and will have the resources to do it.  Good for the Nashville area to have them relevant.

Definitely good for the city.  There is a good possibility that all 3 state champs will be withon a 35 mile radius....20 if DCA comes for revenge.

Spot on with each point. FRA’s gain was our (Pope) loss.

oh, yeah!  I think their new coach has the team turning a corner and not sure who has transferred in but they are playing good ball.  

not looking ahead for LA but for FRA, that CPA game has intrigue written all over it!
