Most definitely can take anyone lightly. Especially in the playoffs and on the road. They haven’t lost all year and I’m sure their coaching staff is gonna throw everything at us to make it an even playing field.
we just have to go in punch them in the mouth, take their crowd out of it & get this win. While giving them their 1st loss of the season.
Their strength is definitely on the offensive side. They have a good RB who is over 1K yards on the year. The QB is a tall kid, probably around 6'3 and mobile. He has three decent WR in #1, #5 & #23 who do a good job of tracking deep balls and making catches across the middle. Defensively, they tackle well and will play hard. I only saw them twice. Against Westwood in the game that was postponed late third quarter because of what turned out to be a false gunfire threat, they had to hang on at the end for a 28-22 win. Jensen was the best team (record wise, anyway) they played. The final was 35-27, but the game really wasn't that close as we left when it was 35-13 in the 4th and Jensen scored a couple of late touchdowns. Jensen finished 7-3, but will get hammered by American Heritage.
Again, Carroll is a scrappy bunch that is well coached and will play hard, but I can't see them hanging with Dillard's athletes who have played a much tougher schedule, but that's not saying that Dillard should take them lightly.
