From the little I saw through the 4th Q and some quick clips, despite the final score, MC is still geling. There is an amazing amount of talent but when you lose 4 starters on your line (and the lone returner Lewanski was out with a concussion) also the Player of the Year in Dupree and all 3 WRs not to mention a RB who converted from TE, there is going to be some growing pains. Elliott was out most of the week with lingering effects from the severe dehydration he experienced during the Hun game. He had one day of practice I’m told but if that was Jack at 70%, then he did great as always, line just needs to gel, that will help when they get Lewanski back next week hopefully and Zion Elliott, a Loyola transfer, in week 4 I’m told. But credit given to SR’s front 7. Big and physical as always, Buckner is a beast. Soph WR Quentin Burrell is going to be one of the greats at MC.
Defensively for MC, great job, great bounce back. They took a lot jaw jacking after giving up 42 to Hun and came through with a shutout. Matt Mucha is a machine. Zander Gorman, although needing to pump the breaks occasionally, is all energy all the time, but big shoutout to Jackson Barrins who has played WR his first 3 years at MC and was moved to Corner in the second half of the Hun game and it seems to be a natural fit. And the Freshman Caleb Tucker, 6’4 330 nose guard I look forward to watching you develop.
With Naz, JCA, Fenwick, Iggy BR and Loyola remaining we will either be beat to hell in November or will see if Iron truly sharpens Iron in the playoffs.
