Well go over and read some that shit on Facebook your friends have already put people up here altogether for you. See ya Friday
Fort Hill vs Catoctin score?
- Thread starter Tony54
- Start date
Again, I am sure Catoctin is all you claim it is. The difference is - from my earlier post - the ability of Catoctin to have and sub significant offense and defense on their line. Even your offense will go wobbly on pass protection if they spend three quarters getting run over on defense. An athletic team that is gassed and battered is no longer athletic.
FH is old school to the max: blocking and tackling. Their tackling is not up to FH standard of old but their blocking sure as hell is and they can do it all damn day with a big back ramming the rock down your throat while they can also get outside. Unless you've beaten a team like that, stats don't mean much.
I get it, if you cant sub you'll have problems, that was Fairmonts problem. The key here is that Catoctin does sub their offensive and defensive lines. Their QB is strictly a QB. Their RB doesn't play much defense.
Just out of curiosity, outside of the private school they lost too, which appeared to be one sided, has FH been behind and had to fight back? Has their 1st team offense and defense had to play a full game yet? A dog fight the whole way? Catoctin was down 20-7 at Walkersville and had to fight and claw their way back into it.
I don't think getting banged on Friday night will be a problem for Catoctin Friday night. They've been hit in the mouth and knocked to the canvas but got up and answered the bell. Has FH had to do that yet this season?

Ah what they said on facebook. Two separate conversations. Like I said, nothing I said on here was trash talking or taking anything away from Fort Hill.
Mkay. Then you've got a shot. What about the bruising fullback issue. I don't know much about you or Walkersville. Did they have an inside running game? Keeping your lines fresh is an excellent start. If they have size and strength then you are way over half way to a win.
As to the competition for FH. Well... one game and they lost. Generally thinking, I have not seen FH as a come back team... they just haven't had to. But remember, FH has been there and been there. They don't rattle and they don't break. It's kinda like, "Holly shit, how do you stop that." - getting run over is a physical thing not a change-your-defense thing.
It’s all fun. Fort Hills defense last year was lights out. Like I said before I’m sure Catoctin is a lot better than they were last year. I was impressed that they beat Fairmont Heights so easily. I can’t wait for the game this Friday. It should be a great one!!
Catoctin will live off the crowd for a half, and probably have it tied up at around 21 going into the intermission. FH comes out and brings them back down to earth with some ball control football. FH wins by 2 or 3 scores. Should be a fun game to watch
Walkersville had some decent size. Fairmont had a big bruising back, he broke a lot of tackles. I'm not sure how he ended the day but outside of the 50 yard td he broke I dont think he had many other big runs. But he was a big kid. It appeared some folks on here were impressed with the kid from Williamsport, Catoctin held him to 50 yards and Willaimsport to less than 150 total yards for the game.
Well they played a full game against Brunswick, but that's probably about it. I wouldn't put a lot of stock into the ECP game simply because there isnt a team in 1A that is going to be able to emulate what that offense was able to do
I agree. I just wasnt sure if the starters played the whole game against them or not.
Cal preps now has a score of
38-35 FH
Of course that’s on a neutral field
38-35 FH
Of course that’s on a neutral field

Fort hill has to many weapons. They smeared Catoctin last year 55-6! I know it’s a new year. But come on.. FH defense is getting better and better as it always does. I’m gonna day FH 28 Catoctin 12.
I know, if you're doing cross-referencing you'll see that I picked Catoctin to win on the pick'em thread. That was in the spirit of competition - I do think FH is the favorite, and probably should win. However, if there is a push contest on that list, I'd say it's this one.
I think if both teams play a decent game, minimal overall turnovers and mistakes - FH wins 34-24. If either team contracts fumble-itis, or has a few too many brain farts, I could easily see a 10 point swing up OR down. I'm thinking both teams will play a pretty neat game, FH will absolutely have a fairly basic game plan on offense and do well. Catcoctin will probably open up the playbook more, and thats where the risk-reward factor will come into play. If the risks payoff, this one goes to the wire.

I feel the same. Although I think this Catoctin team brings more to the 1A table then years past. Maybe the game at Catoctin will show otherwise.
I still think this is the lesser of all the FH teams Coach Appel has put out since 2012. Only 3 starters came back. The fact it could be them and Dunbar again only demonstrates how far removed the other teams are in 1A. I expect FH to be much better in 2020. Their entire back 7 on defense will return. Oh yea, and Stubbs for 2 more years.
