We should get a taste of the Shaw and the mamba next week. I believe they play a team from Gwenette, GA…ESPNU or ESPN2 is scheduled to televise that game. Should be fun! I am trying to determine from a source at Comcast Bay Area if the BG vs. Dela is on the books…my understanding is that there is a good chance…

Dont underestimate Crenshaws LOS play- they too are very physical. I’d give the nod to Crenshaw due to the QB play of Marquis Thompson- a good duel threat.

Grant is a very physical team. Theyt dominate at the line of scrimmage. Any team that does that usually wins no matter what the other team’s strategy or offensive philosophy. I taking Grant

I agree with you Renegades10. Its hard to say but I say Crenshaw only slight advantage is that they might be a little faster than Grant on both lines and skills positions. But I like Grant because of size and there D.

Hard to say because Crenshaw has plenty of athletes all over the field that could match Grant’s speed as well as size. So it would come down to coaching in my opinion and I’d definitely go with Grant on that one.

My question is who would win in a game, Crenshaw or Grant?

Ya, Grant’s defense is very legit. But I still question how good their offense is. It’s clear the new D-co hire at Folsom didn’t help them as that defense is not good. Poor tackles, combined with Grant’s speed just are a bad combo. I haven’t seen such bad tackling in quite some time. A few times where Grant’s rb Shaq Thompson should have been stopped for a loss or no gain and guys just didn’t come in with good technique going too high most of the time. The Grant qb has been impressive in his debut but I want to see him against a good physical defense like a DLS or Del Oro or one of the WCAL schools.

Good Call Renegades. These rankings are really inflated then it seems to me. Grant has impressed me, I saw Folsom on tv last year and Graves the Bulldogs QB is way better than I remember. So Far, seems like their section playoffs will be interesting again, as well. Since NCS doesn’t play games in August, and most teams without byes start Sept. 10 or 11, I can’t wait to see who will march up the Win Column and see how DLS fares…

Just like Crenshaw, Plant’s ranking was based mainly on the fact that they have James Wilder Jr. who is the #1 recruit in some rankings. Their starting qb also was a national elite 11 camper. too bad he got dinged up early. looks like he came back to try and help but it hasn’t worked. have had the game on while getting ready for the night and am greatly disappointed that it has been a blowout. Could the same happen to Grant? You never know this early in the season.
