It wasn't until recently that Naz turned into a recruiting juggernaut, though. I had a nephew on the 2012 JC team. I watched a number of lower level ESCC games leading up to his senior year. Naz had a monster class when those guys were freshmen. They lost a number of guys from that class (Rompa etc.) by the time they were seniors. They were also hurt by Rudy Ramagnano's (sp?) injuries his Jr. and Sr. years. However, that class was the first indication that Naz was going to be a force to be reckoned with. They were big contributors to the Naz victory in 2011 as juniors as well.
So if Naz D can hold JCA to 21 and score 24......
First to 24 wins?
That sounds like some crazy HS logicdeal, provided our good half is the first half and we get the ball first.
So as a law I'm not a JC fan, however, I do believe that this team now is their best chance for a state title for awhile. That being said, I am torn between who to root for.
My son trained with Z and Tyler in the off season, so JCA?
But Corey, and Joe are good guys that treated my family and me very kindly, so Naz?
Either way, this imo, should have been the state title game.
I wish I didn't have work this weekend, I would have loved to have been to this game!!

Outside looking in for me but I just do not see how JC lose this game. Naz loses at MCC giving up over 300 yards rushing, over 200 yards allowed to the soph first time and now Davis is back and 31-0 at the half. Maybe Naz had people out , maybe they made changes but JC should be able to run right down throat.
Lol how quickly you seem to dismiss that Naz came roaring right back in the 2nd half and almost won that game. Or how Naz offense is clicking since that first half against JCA. Those don't help your anti Naz narrative though.
He's not very pro Naz. Ask the Naz guys, if I noticed it they certainly have.I'd say @DeanOfSelection is one of the more impartial members of the Edgy Kingdom. Not sure it's 100% accurate, but not malicious either.
So one that didn't play in game one and one that did and got knocked out. JCA's problem wasn't LB play in that game. Both teams are very good and JCA can just as easily win this game.JC will have two starting LB's back that did not play in game one. One had been out since week one and the other was injured in the first series against Naz.
I disagree. You don't think missing two starting linebackers has any effect on a defense? I think they play a role in covering receivers out of the backfield, covering a territory in a zone coverage, rushing the passer. The one lb they lost is an all area type linebacker. Losing him is huge.Agree not malicious. Naz did out gain both MCC and JCA in those loses however. A couple of short fields did them in against JCA. @USD24 what impact do you think those LBs would of had on the 2nd half of that game. Naz threw the ball probably 50 times. Don't think a LB would have made much a difference. I expect a hard fought game.
Naz would LOVE to see him covering one of their backs out of the backfield, mismatch city! He would however probably make a difference blitzing... But I f you guys think that the difference of one guy over a replacement means multiple TD's (like DOS thinks Davis is good for) you're crazy IMO.I disagree.

also a D back out that game resulting in a CB shifting to safety.Agree not malicious. Naz did out gain both MCC and JCA in those loses however.
