Does it hurt or help your team to play a 0-8 team the week before Homecoming?

Im talking about Allegany taking on the winless Brunswick Railroaders.. I would rather be facing a tougher team to prepare more for FH. Do they rest most of their key starters to avoid injuries or does the extra rest hurt??? I think its gotta hurt playing such a horrible team the week before the big one..

I would think you play the starters little, but if Brunswick does put up a fight.....

It also gives Alco a chance to show FH and others scouting a lot of different looks if things go as they should.

Who would have known Brunswick would be this bad? When scheduling teams it's a chance you take I suppose.

I don't think anything will help the campers

I would be more concerned that the last 4 out of 5 Alco opponents have posted a 3-26 overall record (and a really bad 3-26 at that) with Northern being the toughest thing seen in that 6 week span.

The game speed, size and competition level won't be nearly the same come Nov 7. Alco hasn't seen anything remotely close since getting dumped 42-0 by Keyser back in September.

Probably not a positive thing, no.

Coach Lattimore (Charlie) beleive in a hard game before Alco. That's why you would see teams like Gaithersburg, Sherwood there in the 9th spot.

Thats what I would like to see Alco start doing...

Lattimore would also schedule a couple of weak teams so underclassman could get some playing time.

They never played Gaithersburg in week 9.

I'm sorry your right they played them the sixth game. It was Georgetown prep , Sherwood or Calvin Coolidge.
