Mainland vs Bob Jones AL

RB D'Andre McMillian of Mainland is the real deal.  He made some fantastic plays last night and is very elusive.  The TD he scored with 90 seconds left was especially impressive, weaving his way through multiple defenders.  

Mainland had the chance to win the game.  To their credit, they hung in there and kept fighting even though they always seemed a step behind.  A few things cost them.  It just didn't seem like this team had the swag of Mainland teams of the past, especially on defense.  They have some huge O linemen, but they need conditioning...badly.  They dwarfed the D line of Bob Jones, but their lack of mobility was allowing penetration and Mainland's qb was on the run a fair bit.  

Mainland stuffed the run very well, but the pass defense...oh, the pass defense.  They just could not stop Bob Jones, who had an effective qb and an impressive 6'3" sophomore WR with great hands.  Turns out the latter is a baseball star. He was injured and out for BJ's last drive, but they still completed 2 huge pass plays without him.

Bob Jones is a solid team, but nowhere near the talent of the Milton team that beat Cardinal Gibbons.  If they put up that many points on Mainland, I worry what would happen if Mainland faced a Carol City or Central.
