Well some may not like what I'm about to say but whatever it's just a message board. I've been in ND's corner all year but after a sorry Senior night, it's time to admit the truth
This team might be a fraud 8-1 team. Their record is not indicative of their play. Parkland is spit on the side of the road. Spare me the "Oh they are better than last year". Yes they are. And they are still sorry. And North Davidson is so sorry they almost lost to them, as Coach said, SHOULD have lost, were it not for a lucky field goal going in. The game should never have been close.
Ever since Mt. Tabor this team has been pathetic. Their defense get's ripped apart regularly and the offense one minute will play to it's potential which is quite high and the next disappear. The offensive line isn't that great, North should be killing people with the run game and they don't. The one quality team they played in the past two months, Reagan, blasted them out of the sky and while Reagan is a very good team, they aren't Juggernauts. The CPC is down this year, so that has helped North to have a shot at the title this year. Davie is sorry, Parkland is sorry, RJR is sorry, Tabor is sorry, ND is okay, West is good, Reagan is good.
So frankly, I fully expect North to get blown out come this Friday and quite possibly lose in the first round. We might see the second. The only way for this to be avoided is for the offense to play at their best. I don't think there is any hope for the defense unless they can force turnovers.
I really hope to be proven wrong.
