team would be making the 10 hour trip to Moscow, to play in the state
title game, I would have said you were off your rocker. At that point
the team was 0-5 and although all their losses had been close, with
the exception of Oakley, everyone had pretty much chalked the season
up to a year of rebuilding, the 7th one in a row.
But here we are, driving to Moscow to watch the boys play for a state
title. The past six weeks we have witnessed a turnaround of epic
proportions. A team that hasn't won more than a single game in the
past 4 seasons, has now rattled off six wins a row. It's easy to tell
that the mentality has changed for these players. They expect to win,
as opposed to hoping to win.
They now face the ultimate test. The Troy Trojans sit at 10-0 and
have ran all over their opponents in the northern part of the state.
They come into this game as heavy favorites but its really difficult
to tell how they might match up because of the lack of any common
opponents this season.
From film on the Trojans it looks like they will try and pound it
down the field with their strong run game. Grace's defense will need
to step it up on the front line to stop them. The reason Notus was
able to jump out to such a big lead was because of graces inability to
stop the run. Let's hope they have ironed out those issues and are
ready to step up on defense.
The trojans might have difficulty adjusting to the Grace offense
though. The White Pine League doesn't often see a team come in and
try the spread offense on them, so the Grizzlies might find a slight
advantage in that aspect.
For the first time in school history Grace has a shot at the football
state title, will today be the day?
