Got the OM game right

I hope centennial sticks with it!

 

Centennial's off-season will be key.

 

And congrats to Oakland MIlls on their victory over a good opponent in Wilde Lake.

Agree that is the next step

Doubtful. Season has been a disaster. Coach and school quit prior to playing Howard and have been embarrassed every week.

Playing an Indepeneent schedule will be the o my thing that saves the program. Kids don’t want to be embarrassed every Friday night. Give them opportunities to win and there will be a chance.

So the Head Coach actually quit?

 

Playing Independent just might be a good thing for the county.  So that means everyone in the county will play one another for a few years.  Schedules will be basically set.

Sorry I should have been more clear. Coach Martin didn’t quit his job, but he and the team and the school quit by not playing Howard. The county’s “leader” in John Davis threw out a lot of crap to defend the school and cover up this fact.

Independent schedule solves this problem and a couple others but it does create additional for sure. I still think it’s worth doing but I think the county won’t allow it because that would require actually work for those involved.

Week 10

 

 

Centennial (0-9) at Oakland Mills (6-3) - Oakland Mills playoff chances looks pretty good since they are home against a winless and scoreless Centennial.  A victory by Oakland Mills puts them in the playoffs.  I believe they will be celebrating at the end of the 4th Quarter.  Oakland Mills by 7 scores.

Howard (8-1) at Atholton (2-7) -  Howard is trying to secure a 1st round playoff game with a victory tonight.  I am also certain they want feed Crab Bowl invitee Devin Dawkins to eclipse the 1000 yard mark tonight, needing 159 yards to achieve that goal. Atholton has nothing to play for, just pride and their Senior Night, just not enough.  Howard by 4 scores.

Long Reach (6-3) at Reservoir (4-5) - Reservoir can secure a .500 record with a Senior Night victory.But Long Reach will want to finish the regular season on a strong note prior to the playoffs.  Win or loss, Long Reach will be on the road next week.  Long Reach by 1 score.

 

Mt. Hebron (1-8)  at Hammond (2-7) - Mt Hebron has a little more trouble scoring than Hammond, who has a 30-28 upset win over Atholton.  Hammond wins this Senior Night to end the season on a high note.  Hammond by 4 scores

River Hill (6-3) at Marriotts Ridge (4-5) - River Hill must win to clinch their playoff berth.  Plus a victory would secure a 1st round home game in next week's game.I know Marriotts Ridge plays solid defense, but I don't think its enough to keep River Hill out of the win column tonight.  River Hill by 2 scores.

 

Wilde Lake (6-3) at Glenelg (9-0) - This could be a decent game.  Wilde Lake is fighting for a playoff spot and definitely need to win to stay in contention. However there are 2 problems, they are trying to keep Howard County Champs Glenelg on their Senior Night from completing an undefeated season.  Also, they need Oakland MIlls to lose to a winless and scoreless Centennial team.  I like Glenelg's chances in winning, and probably by a large margin.  Glenelg by 4 scores.

I am not sure about the score in the Long Reach at JM Bennett....especially since JM Bennett is undefeated at home this year.  But I am pulling for Long Reach.  Other than that I agree with the rest.

You said you were attending the game.  I allowed the threat of rain to run me off and not go.  What did you see Gooch? From I saw via a HoCo Sports reporter twitter Mervo was hitting Howard with big long passes for TDs.

Seen Mervo first hand they are good, but never saw Howard so I wasn't sure. But this HC football some think they are soft an don’t project well playoff off time.

Surprised at the other two though. Westlake isn’t the teams of past but are very good. Think that’s a good win for Brian.

Other hand that’s a bad lost for Jamie.

I wasn’t there either but from what my buddies told me Mervo was just too fast for Howard and exposed their small slow secondary

Pretty young too.  They started Sophs (5'7" and 5'6") at both CB spots and a Fresh (5'8") at one of their safety spots.  So you are Mervo and you are throwing to McKissic (6' 3"), Peterkin (6'0") and Jones Jr (6'1"), all seniors , then the outcome makes sense.

IMO, Mervo was more physical and talented than Howard. The Mustangs defenders laid the wood on Dawkins and the Lions QB all night. Mervo’s DL controlled the line of scrimmage and their LBs blitzed and the right time forcing errant throws several of which were intercepted or knocked down by Mervo DBs. #44 for Howard is the only player that consistently responded with physical football. Overall it was a dominating performance by the Mustangs.

well if they are young it’s a learning experience for them
