I just want to get it on record, I'm no Fort Hill fan. Just an area football follower and I know Fort Hill's running game just flat out rarely gets shut down.
I'm a Keyser fan. Fort Hill folks told us before the game this year that if we were only relying on the run, we couldn't beat them. Then we relied on the run and we ended up beating them. I believe the same principle is at play here. Teams that are good at running the ball (and I don't mean against just weak competition) normally can run on most teams, even teams that have a good defensive front. Fort Hill will be able to get yardage and will be able to keep themselves alive in this game via running the football. I agree they'll have to have something other than straight wing-t to do so, but with their QB they have in place, Sherando will be in a pick your poison scenario. If Sherando lets Fort Hill get cranking, their offense won't see the field that much because FH can play 4 yards and a cloud of dust style football and keep you off the field. I want to see if Sherando can contain the Brown kid. If they do that, they're chances of winning sky rocket.
I wish I could get to the game tonight. Family obligations suck. I'll be checking this score and the ALCO-NHS score all night.
