USE FOR SCORE THREAD:5A CHAMPIONSHIP: Pulaski Academy vs LR McClellan (FRIDAY 7:00)

[PA Dad]

Great pep rally at PA.  The entire school (preK-12) packed into the gym and it was a raucous crowd.  Ready for the game!

I was there too.  The team is really hyped up for this game.  I probably shouldn't say this, but I'm starting to feel sorry for McClellan.

That's fair to say....I hope they at least start the game well and don't get down 2-3 scores quickly....at least make it competitive for a half or so.

HALFTIME

[hogs25]

LRM came to play.  They look like the Hogs.  #5 looks good.

[AT]

Thoughts:

PA is having trouble tackling the McClellan runners. They've made some great tackles, too. They aren't doing terrible, but McClellan is getting some extra yards after first contact.

McClellan is playing good in coverage, considering they are playing PA, a team known to make the other teams look like toast.

PA is mixing up their offense well and playing very balanced to keep McClellan on their heels. They are still finding the big play.

That pick six is a huge play. Can't underestimate that play.

McClellan may have never been thinking about the fact that they got mercy ruled by this team earlier in the year, but now they are definitely not thinking that. I imagine it was in the back of their minds early in the game. But winning this game seems very realistic for McClellan now.

McClellan ball to start the 2nd half.

[Coach Venny Slocombe]

Thanks for the updates Trackster!

[WPWells]

*McClellan will receive the kickoff. There's no guarantee it will be their ball

[PA Dad]

The last time PA trailed at half they scored 28 unanswered in the second half.  Kelley and Wood are great at half time adjustments.  But McClellan is s much better team than they were the first time PA played them.  If PA doesn't play better in the 2d half, LRM can win this game.

[AT]

*McClellan will receive the kickoff. There's no guarantee it will be their ball

Very true.

Coach Kelly and his professional caching staff will have to coach  this 2nd half to pull this victory out...

What is a caching staff? If Kelly has one everyone should try it...It's another one of Kelly's tricks...

If you're going to insult, spell it right. And all coaches are professionals. They get paid for what they do.
