Caravan Opener vs Moeller

[McCaravan]

MC has a new DC?

Before the rumor mill goes, O'B left to be with this family more as they had a new baby I'm told. Being the MC DC is not what pays the bills so he's taking some time off coaching for a bit. I'm sure he will be around in some small capacity. He did a great job taking over for a legend in Coach Dave. Coach Grubisich is really good and he has about 6 high level D1 guys on his defense so he will be OK.

He had a game last year where he was 14 for 18 and 6 TD’s….

That’s insane

He had 2 games with 6 TDs.

All.... 57 but who's counting (lol) along with 4,217 yards passing. Bluegrasspreps.com had a little blip from a poster about the team. Moeller does lose all of their offensive lineman as well as two solid db anchors due to graduation. I imagine though they know how to reload. Should be a great game. Ratsy

New line vs MC DL with 3 Power 4 offered players. That will help MC

How many receivers are returning for each team?

All.... The Crusaders graduated their top three receivers that accounted for around 2500 yards receiving. Five others that caught passes are back two who are rb's. (1400 yards) Some others with smaller totals.

Three rb's are back with playing time as well. Tyler Josleyn 5'9" 190 (SR) 170-855 4.7 8tds, Dante Ware 5'7" 165 (SR) 96-471 4.6 3tds, and Greylo Coach (JR) 5'7" 165 58-356 4TD

This is a team that loves to throw. The running game comes in second of course but that doesn't mean they can't hurt you on the ground. Ratsy

How many receivers are returning for each team?

MC has Junior to be Quintin Burrell who has numerous Power 4 Offers.
Sophomore to be Marshaun Thorton who also has numerous D1 offers, including Miami.
Transfer Jamari Brown who has several D1 offers including Ole Miss.
Now what they don't have is Mr. Ohio at QB! In fact QB is TBD as of now. But they do have 4 returning linemen from last year and they replaced the one they lost with a transfer with pretty much his choice of Power 4 schools. They also have 2 very talented RBs....now they just need to settle on that one small position......QB

I thought it was settled. Who has moved into a tie with Dowling? Whoever it is, he must be pretty good. Even if the offense has to make adjustments on the run, the defense is more than up to the task.

The game is in Ironton because Moeller has a stadium with no lights. Apparently, once like Loyola did, they face neighborhood opposition to lights.

Steve Winkler will emerge as this year's Damarion Arrington, an all-purpose player on both sides.
