How do you beat a team where half of the team in seniors ?


Same way you beat a team full of Freshman, Sophomores, Juniors and Senior....Play better than them. This is one of the silliest things I have heard. Every year there are senior dominated teams that don't necessarily go on to win titles. That's why you they play the games, to prove who's better. It's like saying how do you beat a team with a big offensive line, or speed, or height....age has little to do with it. Talent, hard work and dedication any day, all day.
This is silly!!! these are growing kids!! Seniors are going to be bigger and stronger. 13 seniors is going to be a good team anywhere in ND!!! Go get your big and bad Freshmen in the state. I got money on Larimores seniors LOL

Sorry , I agree with wan2bqb. It may not be the case but it sounded like packers21 was whining about about the insurmountable odds of beating a Class A team with 13 seniors. Sure kids mature with age, but the mindset of they are bigger, stronger, older, more mature, is one of someone who has lost before they have even started.

I'm not saying that was packers21's intension, but it was the impression his post gave me.

This is football we are talking about, not tug-o-war.

First of all, this is absurd. It's not like it was 40-0 after the first half. Second, if you don't think Larimore's QB can throw the ball pretty well, then you don't have realistic expectations of a quarterback at this level of play. He hit some spots in tight coverage on Friday that are almost guaranteed interceptions for a lot of high school quarterbacks. Give the kid some credit.

If the Aggies can grind out some wins while they get healthy, there's a good chance these two teams see each other again, and it'll be a different game. Larimore is further along right now--that much is obvious, but if PRFL can get healthy and their kids can settle in to their positions, they'll be a much better team by the end of the year.


PRFL is close to having almost all of their players back this week. If these two teams happen to meet up again, I can guarantee you that this will be a different game with possibly a different outcome. The Aggies will not be the same team that showed up earlier this season.

I was asking rivershark a question, if his post about half the larimore team being seniors was for real. I don't see a scenario where PR comes close to beating Larimore if they play again.

PRFL was basically missing three starters the first time they played. In class A ball you don't replace 3 starters with anyone close. Big difference when you start replacing a senior running back at 185 pds with a sophmore at 140 pds. Also remember all three starters play on both sides of the ball. Can they make up 40 points. No but PRFL puts some drives together and didn't finish them. PRFL dropped a sure touchdown early and next ball was tipped and intercepted. Add back 3 players and a little momentum early and it's a dog fight. And PRFL has the biggest baddest dude. And he makes big plays.

Can everyone quit making excuses. This is football not badmitton. Kids get hurt, heck some even get injured? That's why they play an 8 game schedule and then the playoffs. And yes team do replace 3 starters ALL the time. Every team gets injuries and every team has players playing hurt. It about how you fight through it and how you recover and recoup. Can you find a way to win with the injuries and people out. It sicks kids get hurt but its called a contact sport for a reason. Please no more excuses and what ifs.....

Wasn't making excuses. Packer21 can't envision a scenario where PRFL wins a rematch. How about if PRFL gets 3 starters back and Larimore has 1 of the Hofers hurt plus Verkulen and Wagner. Then would the game be different. In class A football that's a 40 point swing easily. PRFL did a 22 point swing on Larimore a couple years ago when neither team was injured.

Larimore has to many seniors

Actually PRFL's Flaten was out of that game with shoulder injury. I do agree with you though.

yes actually PRFL did a 22 point swing in spite of missing Flaten and Noah Zimmerman for the second game. I think we will see this rematch. PRFL will recover and secure the 3 seed and then with the south being down I think they win the first playoff game to play the #1 seed Larimore. If Larimore overlooks them because of the previous score they will get beat.

PRFL has to win the next two games to make the playoffs. I don't think either will be easy games. If they do make it to a rematch they are going to have to tackle a lot better. Larimore had way too many yards after contact. Getting past Northern Cass would be a tough team to beat also. But I would love to see a PRFL Larimore rematch. Larimore would probably win but not by 40-0

Like others have said, Park River is no lock to make playoffs. I believe both of the next 2 games will be tough match ups; especially going to Harvey to end the season. They seem to be almost back to full strength though so I don't think they have really figured out who they are as a team because they are consistently replacing people every week. I'm not convinced that with only 2 weeks left they are going to have time to figure out who they are either.

The thought that you can make a statement saying that they are consistently replacing people every week tells me that you know absolutely nothing about this team. I don't think anyone on this site has even suggested that PR is a lock for the playoffs. Larimore has a really good team and I want to believe that the PRFL players would jump at the chance to play them again with a healthy team. I would be really surprised if Larimore could repeat the 40-0 victory again.

They have been replacing people because of injuries. I was alluding to the fact that this might be a null discussion because there is no guarantee that Park River would make the playoffs. I also have said before and still believe that PR would play to a one score game if they played again. Not sure what your so mad about.

I'm thinking Larimore wins state to end their 11 man football. Unless they play Killdeer in the Championship. Killdeer will not lose three years in a row. Coach Dobitz would find a way to win. IMO.
