Lining up in the neutral zone 3 times on the same drive is definitely something seems to be a judgement call by the refs in my opinion considering these kids in defense have been lining up in the same position now for 12 weeks. Seems weird for 3 on the same drive. I know the holding penalty on Daniel’s long TD run was a bogus call and definitely ticky tack.

I think the field has a lot to due with the defense not getting a pass rush. I don’t think the ends trust the field to hold up if they plant their foot and try to wrap around the edge. You see it on offense, every time someone tries to run wide they just slide out of bounds rather than trying to plant and get turn the corner.
makes sense, I did wonder why #3 kept running out of bounds.

Northern at Mountain Ridge prediction

Mountain Ridge played much better two weeks ago against a bad Keyser team. I am not sure how healthy Mountain Ridge is right now either. Northern did play better the first game.

My gut tells me Northern by at least 7, but my heart tells me Ridge by 7 to 10 points. Let's hope my heart is correct. I do believe that Northern would have a better shot at going deeper in the playoffs, should they win this matchup.
I know you are the expert on MR stuff but I don't see Northern beating them, you're heart is safe. Remember, Allegany beat Northern...that says more about Northern than anything else.

I seem to recall a post about a FH coach saying they couldn't wait to go on the road in the playoffs since they'd be getting away from Cumberland refs...5 penalties and we aren't out of the first quarter.. Maybe this is part of the problem - the coaches actually believe these penalties are the refs fault? First play of the game penalty, third play of the game penalty, unsportsmanlike for the umpteenth time this year.
Is Hodge a really great qb or is the FH d just not that interested in tackling him? There is no pressure on the qb, the wide receivers are wide open, are they just phoning it in? Let some guys in that want to play.
Make that 6 penalties and counting.

Let the praise of Phil Carr begin. "Oh how doth doeth so well with thine numbers and talent he'est able to muster at yonder institution." Blah blah blah, bs, weird participation trophy crap some of you say. Who started this nonsense commentary that now gets repeated by so many these days??
Northern gets beat by FH/Ridge/Alco consistently, by large margins, and dude gets praised for fielding a team. Meanwhile, Hansel gets toasted like a pretty girl seated in that booth that's too close to Uncle Tuckers wood fire while she awaits her buffalo chicken pizza. Sweat pouring off the pretty girls head, sipping water, pulling at the neck on her sweater. It's real, and it's awkward when you notice.
