Hoping it's a competitive game.
It will be I think. Mt. Carmel won't have their QB, but they still have rb Nakos and a terrific o line and d line. I believe they are all north of 260 lbs and they bring it every play. At the Amat game last weekend, LA lost an o lineman to a season ending injury and had to shuffle the line around. The coaching staff will need to bring their "a" game for the rest of the season and the players will need to play with smarts, enthusiasm and toughness. It will be a fun game to watch.

I'd love to see my Caravan win this one, but I don't see it happening. Thomas is such a huge part of their offense. MC needs to control the clock and keep it close till the 4th quarter. Then.....anything can happen.

Any word on whether Thomas and his team mates skeedaddled off the islands ahead of the storm?

Hopefully everyone is safe.

The tournament is being held in Thunder Bay, Canada so not in any danger of the storm.

Big win for them yesterday over Canada. Large game looming vs Korea today.

Must have been something I ate. Thought I read it was in Cuba. Any way to watch or follow the game today?

Correct they played Cuba yesterday, I was behind a day or so on following the results. USA team beat Korea 2-0 earlier to clinch a spot in the Gold Medal game. Pitching seems to be a strength of this team.

I am really just looking for the team to play well in general; specifically special teams and defense. Let the W or L take care itself. Then start gearing up for week 5.

Ramblers still banged up a bit........Hamid Bullie not back fully back yet. They lost another starting offensive lineman for the year with an ACL ( center - I think......) They where running a sophomore (Flores) in the backfield as well ?.......They have the injury bug this year. Boyle looked better last week so I think the trajectory is upward. The Amat game showed they are still LA ( Amat was big and fast) and with MC down the QB it should be LA. But it will be a dogfight I am sure. LA at home, tougher schedule - so I think they get the nod. But MC D Line is huge. We'll see.

3:12 1Q - no score. LA with ball at the MC 24.

Both teams have coughed up the ball to start the game.

MC's Lenti returns to the 35.

Davis and Nakos run it five to eight yards a pop. Mc in LA territory. End of the first with Mc facing second and 2.

7-0

Lenti moves the pile 4 - third and 4 in the 37. Stuffed.

QB's inability to pull the ball from the dive and take it outside is making this a very predictable offense. And until the defense can come up with a way to slow down the up tempo spread offense MC will continue to struggle with teams like LA, BR & SR.

Going for it on 4th down! Senior Qb assesss - calls time.

Did not help. La ball. 10:26 2q

Encroachment and then a first down pass. Ball at midfield. Moved back after DOG.

Boyle hits the right sideline and a beutiful catch. LA at the 24.

Three runs - first down at the 17.

Another four yards and a cloud of dust but MC answers when La tries to go outside.

MC D Steps up - La kicks it for 3. 10-0 La with 6:45 left in the half.

MC's O-line is getting good push a lot of the time, but LA is so disciplined that MC gets minimal gain and eventually a mistake happens.

MC was pushed deep but a holding call helped. Ball at the MC 19 and the chains move on a short pass.

La forces a fumble - ball at the MC 25.

Already is Bones. Unfortunately over the past 3 years MC has become a 2nd tier team in the CCL. Consistently struggle to stop the spread offense and commit way too many turnovers on offense. They look completely unprepared for this game.

The ******** turnovers!!!! I hear ya with stopping the spread but we keep giving them short fields...Not using Thomas being gone as an excuse but he does bring a new dynamic to the game

For sure MC misses Thomas and the turnovers have led to a lot of short fields today. My comment about the spread was meant for the past 3 seasons and was exasperated by the frustration of the 1st half today.
