Don't know how far this will drop PR in the rankings. I believe the Aggies are down to their 3rd string running back. Lost their all-state lineman on the 1st series. If they can get a win against Langdon next week, heal up, and get into the play-offs, I would expect a different game against Larimore. On the flip side, how do you beat a team where half of the team is seniors.
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.
