I saw Boynton Beach play in week 3 in a home loss to Santaluces 9-7. That being said it was a month and half ago. I’ll tell you what I observed. Their defense played tough. They made things difficult for the Santaluces running back that received some pub earlier in the year. It was obvious he was public enemy #1. He was not going to beat them. Offense was not anything to write home about. They did have a couple of receivers that were quick and got open. The problem was the QB was inaccurate for much of the night.
My guess is if the Panthers put 17 points on the board the victory will be assured.
This is related to the topic we discussed last week. I have some numbers to share with everyone. Looking at all 2,193 in-state games played through Saturday, on average, the winning team is 25.7 points better than the losing team. I have compiled point margins for all 2193 games and came up with a simple chart. Some of you may disagree with the grades I've given each group. This is my opinion but I'm anxious for feedback. As you can see below, 37% of our games are pretty good or better with 20% being really good. However, 47% are pretty awful. In fact, 871 games (40% of all games played) were decided by 31 points or more. Can we do anything to shore this up?
