Some whacky FH defensive numbers

[TDHelmick]

Some really off-the-chart numbers have started to pop up through this playoff run. Considering FH did not give up a single first down in the second half of the last two games I decided to take a look because it seemed like this was happening every game since they last lost to Briar Woods on October 4.

In the last two games versus Cambridge-SD and Perryville, the Fort Hill defense has given up only 16 yards rushing and 10 first downs in total (none in the second half).

IN THE LAST 8 GAMES
So what exactly has the Fort Hill defense done since they last lost a game to Briar Woods on October 4?

They have given up: 49 first downs (only 6.1 per game).
They have given up: 194 yards rushing

In comparison...
The FH offense has: 128 first downs
The FH offense has: 2,628 yards rushing

That's some crazy stats - in 8 games FH has only given up 194 yards rushing. That is 24 yards a game.

No reason to think that trend won't continue this week. Look forward to multiple three and outs for Northern.

WV board lighting up Md. 1A and FH with Northern in the championship after losing to a bad Hampshire team. FH forfeits totally shuffled seeding allowing Northern the easier route.

Post from "Minco" - " Bridgeport and Senior have tried to play them and they always decline. 1A Maryland football is watered down." Isn't that actually the other way around?

Post from "ed r forshey" who's the guru of that page...

"Actually, Bridgeport is playing at Fort Hill in 2025."

I don't see many teams going to Cambridge or P'ville and coming out winners. Whatever else has been said FH has done something no FH team has ever done and that's win three consecutive playoff games on the road, 4 if you count the first one at greenway. Frankfort slaughtered Northern, then Hampshire beat them...I don't think if it wasn't a local team that we all like and respect their coach their would be so much humility.

Well here's a thought with a lot less humility...what does all this say about Boonsboro this year?...run out of Washington County by the Huskies.

Ed Forshey and the Lancer are 2 that use to give good insight and no longer post in Western MD forum.

Some more added whacky defensive numbers:

These players were part of the defensive 11 predominately on the field in the 2nd half against Perryville with the game on the line. A defense that didn't give up a single first down. What do they have in common?

1. Christian Riley
2. Gavin Rose
3. Carson Bender
4. Neek Taylor
5. Landen Richardson

That's pretty insane.

I really respect what this program has accomplished over the past 15 years. Graduating with a .500 team in 84 (and losing a close one to eventual state champ Allegany 6-0) and never seeing a Homecoming victory during my tenure as a Hilltopper, it does the heart good.
