Cambridge South Dorchester

One thing stands out to me. Whenever FH has played CSD, whomever the CSD coach has been they've always said the same thing, "Fort Hill was much more physical. That's something we don't see on the Shore." I don't see why this year would be any different. Yes, FH wasn't at their best on the grass and rain last week, but I wonder how much they wanted to show CSD and anyone else scouting them?

Rain and snow here, but in Cambridge it's just calling for cloudy skies , but 15-25 mph winds with higher gusts possible. That's going to play havoc with the passing game and special teams.

Massey says FH 42-14
I say FH 35-21. Another big game for Jabril.

They are loaded with upperclassmen on the lines and skill positions so they will definitely remember last year and know what to expect from a FH team. Knowing what to expect and actually playing the game are 2 very different things but I just have a feeling that if FH is going to lose a playoff game over the next few years it’ll be Friday. CSD has good size on the line averaging about 220 and skill players look decent on film. They run a pistol offense with a ton of option stuff. Good QB so they are pretty comfortable throwing.

I need to try to find highlights on the CSD VS CR game because CR runs a similar offense to FH so that’ll be very telling on a possible outcome.

Everyone seen what FH looked like on grass last week and can remember what FH looked like on a cold night in catoctin all those years ago so the grass field is a huge key to the game. If it rains which it’s calling for rain and snow every day from Wednesday night through Friday night then the field favors CSD but if the field is dry and FH backs and edge rushers can plant their feet and get upfield then it favors FH.

I remember the 2017 loss to Dunbar in states I believe where Lawrence smith said that they had been watching film and designating 3” minutes of practice a week to the WING-T and to scouting FH because they knew they would end up meeting each other and he wanted to have them prepared. I feel like CSD was probably doing the same thing. They haven’t hid from the fact that they need to beat FH to win a title this year so something tells me they’ve been preparing for this rematch for 51 weeks straight.

Perfect field and weather conditions:

FH: 31-14

Rain soaked field conditions:

CSD 22-21
Weatherman says rain on Wednesday, but clear skies and 50 degrees on Thur, Fri, Sat.

Good deal. So no complaining allowed.

Trust me...I've been hearing it. And it's stupid.
The complaints are valid if you have children - they will have to skip school for parents to see their other child play a game and take a day off work. It is what it is. Some say now you know what other teams feel like coming to Greenway on a Friday. Well actually, none of them came from over 3 hours away. And if they did like Cambridge last year it was on Black Friday with no school for Thanksgiving weekend. Or Kent County the year FH had to play that on a Saturday. Whatever, it was the FH coaches call so you are correct, no complaining. It was also the FH coaches call to play Clear Spring on Thursday in the rain instead of Saturday. So roll with it and trust the coaches' method.

There are no NFHS cameras at Cambridge. If Commercial Video shows it live, there won't be but 40 FH fans in attendance. The last time FH played at Cambridge was 1979 (a loss). Coach Jim Chaney's first season. I was there and FH had about 2000 fans in attendance.

So how does this Sentinel team match up to CSD?

WV playoffs postponed

I say make the teams who are suing each other and the state play for the spots they are suing for. Everyone needs to quit bitching and play the play in games. Most of the teams are complaining about being the 15 or 16 seed vs the 17 or 18 seed. Why not play an extra game against someone you can actually compete with rather that relying on a judge to tell you that you have to get slaughtered by the likes of Frankfort, Princeton, fairmont senior, Bridgeport, or Martinsburg. The longer this goes the more it frustrates me that these teams are adamant they don’t want to play a play in game. Winfield offered Hampshire a play in game at Hampshire and Hampshire declined

Friday at 6:30 for an away game over 3 hours away is tough for people to get to. Sucks but it just is.

That's why you don't see too many fans from these teams when they've had to travel here for for a 6:30 game when they are 2 or 3+ hours away.

Kudos to the CSD staff for giving FH a dose of their own medicine. No FH fan should be bitching at all about this trip. Go or don't go. But shut your trap and do whichever one you choose to do quietly.
The FH coaches chose Friday night.

Game is set for Friday at 6:30.

A very unfriendly set up for fans has this been so far. I'm sure it will be live and FH will put 50 parents/fans in the stadium seats.

Doesn't the F club or anybody do buses anymore? Old people love bus trips so this would be the perfect opportunity for the old dwindling population to have a field trip.

If given some truth serum, what do you think the CSD coach would say about having to play FH at home in the quarters, as opposed to playing FH in the pre forfeit presumed final in Annapolis. Knowing you have to win out to be champion regardless of who is in front of you. Just wondering what scenario he would rather have. My guess that on the bus back from Greenway last year he told his team "to be state champs, we will have to beat that team in Annapolis next year".

Not the same head coach this year. This year's head coach was the OC last year.

I would think the Goal is To Win it all, getting there and losing doesn't mean much, I also think if they are going to Beat FH it's on there Home Field, I also don't think many will travel down there, maybe 400 from FH
I am sure hoping the https://www.delmarvasportsnetwork.com/ shows the game. I don't mind paying $6.99 a month and canceling after the game lol
