Caravan Opener vs Moeller

[Silver Rain]

With an ace in the hole and a pair of jacks split wide, Moeller is holding a good hand. But Lynch and his staff should have the team prepared to meet the challenge. The offense will probably score at will, and the defense will need to be aggressive but not unrestrained. It may come down to the fewest mistakes.

We're over the hump, five moths to kick off. Bring on the Moellers, which sounds like a dental convention..

 

[voice of meteor football]

Yes, Grubisich

As good a coach as Grubisich is, he's an even better person. Wish him all the best in his new role at Carmel. Honestly, wish he were still at DLS.

Will the most expensive scoreboard in the entire state of illinois be turned on this year?!?!?

I would hate to see it show up at Swap O Rama at a heavily discounted price

Here is the rest of the schedule. I was expecting more action in 8A, but this is a repeat of last year. Maybe they book two years at a time.

How many D1 kids did the Hum have last year?

What are the D1 numbers for Moeller?

Good questions. A cursory search indicates that the Hun Class of '24 had five and Moeller '24 had four. MC, with nine this year, may prove to be an unmovable object and an unstoppable force.

MC has 15 kids with D1 offers. Nine is the number of kids that have SEC offers

Holy sh….

I have to think the freshmen DL will end up being one of the mostly highly recruited players we've seen.

Yes, I watched that game. My scouting report is as follows: MC 37, AM 13.

MC post Elliot putting up that much?

Will the defense make that big of an improvement?

I obviously need to see them in person and see the scrimmage to assess how things play out, but I'm very optimistic about the defense in 2025. Last year, they had one freshman and two sophomores starting. The defensive line should be their strongest since 2012-13, with Quinn, Tucker, and Jones all returning. Six starters are back overall, along with several players who spot-started or rotated in. One of the cornerback positions was a revolving door last year, but some talented incoming juniors, like Rogers, should solidify that spot. Additionally, a transfer has joined to bolster the secondary at one of the safety positions. The offense, without Elliott, won't score as lightning quick, which should reduce pressure on the defense and give them more rest.

It will look like the return of Steve Richardson and Enoch Smith.

All.... One would assume the Crusaders will have any early season kinks ironed out by the time they play the Caravan. Two scrimmage games and their opener with Princeton. Ratsy

Early, but is this game going to be televised or streamed?

Was the same scenario in '90 as well. Would love to have a game under belt but it is what it is.

All.... This might be worth following as the game gets closer on how Crusader fans view the game. At the moment pretty much drivel. Ratsy

I just scrolled through. It was comforting to see one of their posters refer to another as a "jackass".

 

[LWN_Pheonix]

I am shocked that they know who Corey90 is over there

I am also assuming that the comment was directed at him…

All..... Two computer projections if they would of played in 2024. Interesting.... Ratsy

Calpreps - Moeller 38 Mt. Carmel 35 (58%)

Massey - Mt. Carmel 38 Moeller 34 (55%)

All.... 2025 Massey projection. Ratsy

Mt. Carmel 33 Moeller 28 (57%)

Interesting game for me since my cousin went to Moeller and would often play wiffle ball in Ken Griffey Jr's back yard.

Other Moeller Alums are the Bears Tom Waddle and the Reds SS Barry Larkin.

Does Moeller not have a football stadium?

No, still homeless after all these years.

All in good fun, Corey.
