St. Francis vs. Cary-Grove
- Thread starter DMurph11
- Start date
On OL they normally have 4 kids that really only play OL and rotate their big soph OT on the DL throughout the game. I fully expect him to play a little more on D this week. They also have gotten their lone SR OL a little time on D as the season has progressed, coming off ACL last year they eased him in on D. They have a few WRs that play in the secondary but they also rotate kids through DB and WR. Their best D player plays a S/LB type position. He gets some snaps as an H-back/TE in certain sets but not a ton of O play. This is nothing new, they have been playing kids both ways for years and do a good job of rotating, especially on the lines, kids in and out. It is hard to toss a number out since they rotate kids in and out but getting healthy later in the year has helped that. But they also will change up their D schemes at times. I expect they most likely come out in a 4-4, been playing a 4-3 a lot but probably swap a safety for another LB.
I will say C-G hasn't played a team with the speed and depth at WR position like SF has this year. In all honesty there are only a handful of teams in the state that are better or can match it. SF will run the ball if C-G cheats on the pass, SF RB is healthy and has been really good in playoffs.

Midline is determined with reading the 0 through 3 technique.
IV read is the technique touching the play side OT, typically. Also referred to as EMOL (end man on line). Not a LB, who (depending on defensive alignment) is the force player (could also be the S). The force player is identified by the QB as the defender who you attack to put into conflict. It’s the second option progression. QB pitches or keeps when reading the force players’ decision, which comes fast. And the QB is exposed to significant contact.
I’ve seen past Carmel Catholic QB’s maintain alignment with the A back (pre-snap motion wing) and pitch 10+ yds. downfield. Dangerous yes, but repped enough a thing of beauty.

What CG did to EStL was ball control perfection... These Trojans are young and hungry and have the ability to control the ball on any team!
What they did in '21 and '23 was a masterclass, no doubt about it. But the year is 2026 and those kids are graduated from college or upperclassmen in college now. I know the system hasn't changed but '21 and '23 really do not have any baring on this game.
Well... The offensive philosophy is the same... The players are different... If CG can play discipline they will roll... IF!
Different hunter and a different prey too. . I’m not counting out CG, but I would be pretty shocked if CG “rolled” in this game. St. Fran is the favorite here.
Is Cary-Grove the school that takes in the kids living on the river? If so, lots of swingers will be at this game! Wear pineapple apparel with caution.
Yeesh. SF can't stop the run. Toss to the outside for CG. SF had 2 guys outside vs 4 blockers for CG. I'm not sure what SF is doing defensively.
Some of these CCL schools rely on talent rather than discipline and coaching. Let's be honest
21-14. SF methodical drive down the field. Interesting that CG has had the short drives and quick scores and SF has had the long drives.
28-14 CG. DT from SF unblocked and runs up the field and fb walks in.
This might be the worst performance defensively I've seen from a CG opponent. Looks like SF read my post and said " you know we're going to do the opposite of what everyone says to do."
losing the turnover battle 4-0 is a sure fire way to lose a football game at any level
If you are a Loyola fan, you clearly didn’t post here 15 years ago
15 years ago it was all about private schools “working harder, being more disciplined, and having better coaches”
Goes against your post
Well I admit I was wrong. The mid size CCL teams are kinda disappointing to be honest.
Well... I think people think the RPO is awesome and it really isn't... When playing running teams RPO teams have problems... When playing good running teams RPO teams gets stalled... I will always go for the good running teams... Especially at home!!!
