I think you may be right, Lags. I think the rain helped FH vs. HDG a lot.Rain looks to be fading as an issue. I believe this helps FH quite a bit. Instead of 9 - 6 FH, I think it will more likely be 26 - 6 FH. Without the rain I see FH keeping control of the ball on the Douglass side of the field throughout the game.
How can you say that? Do you really think HdG would've fumbled every snap on a dry field? C'mon, man...geeze.The rain didn't help without a doubt. Neither did the lack of a ground game and discipline.

Still looking at their losses... all from good non 1A teams with winning records this year. Don’t be surprised if they shut down the FH running game.
Hope I’m wrong and this team can assert its will on both sides of the lineYes, we see this in both losses to Friendship and Dunbar last season. It's a problem for sure if the other team stops the run. At least FH has an incredible defense to counter if so.
They've played in rain all season. If it does rain I think it will have minimal effect on what FH will be able to doOuch! We are now looking at solid rain (90% chance) starting at 2PM and probably continuing through the game. That puts somewhat of a dagger in FH's kicking game and increases the turnover potential.
I'm adjusting the game to tossup.

Dunbar had trouble getting good snaps like grace did. I think 3 will still be big in this game.I hope you are correct in this game. My earlier projection was based on FH's kicking game: getting maybe 4 or more field goals, pinning Douglass deep on their side of the field and generating turnovers. I think the rain levels things out..... it surely did for Dunbar vs. Douglass.
And now they play the game.
The rain will benefit FH and give them the advantage.
When it's wet is when the kickoffs have not always gone in the end zone. If you kick to Douglass and they have a chance at a return, advantage Douglass.Ouch!

Good points but I think the rain will take away the only advantage Douglass has which is speed.If Douglass is as hapless against the run as HDG then FH will not have to kick distant field goals to secure a significant lead. It would appear that a tremendous potential for FH would be the long field goal in a close game.
If the game isn't close, which is usually the case, then having to kick one in the rain doesn't matter. I have been presupposing that Douglass may be the best team FH has played so far. They were the ones who benefited from bad weather against Dunbar, not the other way around.

Douglass gets away with 5 downs in this series. Obviously stopped the kid on the 4th and 1 but the refs gave the penalty instead of the turnover in downs.Douglass responds and scores gets a 2-pt conversion and the Sentinels trail 8-7.
It’s going to get interesting

I could be wrong about the spot, did the TV have anything to say in it?
The down side is they have the athletes to be successful doing it. I hope FH makes the adjustments. FH needs...Pressure...Pressure...Pressure.Douglass going for a homerun every play lol..
