Good points Insider. I hope no one was belittling what Johnson has accomplished this year due to his last 3 games. I’m sure he is keeping Sweeney up at night this week preparing to face him again. Still clearly the top RB in the EBAL this year and he played as well as anyone else in the league did vs. DLS and their set of D1 backers. He did look a little timid in the first half (what back in the EBAL didn’t) but looked better in the second half with a TD as Cal actually outscored DLS after half. No one wants to kick off to this guy after they’ve seen him in action.

For those who bring up Karris Johnson in his last 3 games. 1st Livermore Johnson was being rested for the next week only getting 2-3 carries. Granada put 9 in the box to make sure Johnson didn’t go anywhere he had around 65+ yards but made the most of the game taking one back on kick return and scoring 1 rushing touchdown and 1 recievung touchdown. De La Salle week he had a around 55 yards and people say he ran scared but there’s not much you can do when you have that D-Line and the set of D1 backers blowing up the Cal lineman. I think Johnson will definitely have a 100 yard + game against Foothill on Friday and will be coming out ready to do his job.

I skewed my percentages some since I was thinking about upsets. Realistically the percentages should be skewed more toward the expected winner.

News out of Pitt Camp is not to good. You never want to go into DLS with bunch of injuries. The physical whoopin they put on MV came with a price. Word is 1 rb out 1 banged up pretty good. 4 Def starters questionable with 2 DL starters out … The team is so young that the back ups having to step up are in some cases sophomores

Those look like pretty good percentages Outsider. However, I would put DLS-Pitt at 95%/5%. While Pitt looks to be peaking at the right time and DLS looks like they could be vulnerable, it is still DLS in the playoffs. Pitt does have a chance though if they can get their running game going and should give them a game. They’ll need to score at least in the 20s, play great defense and get some key turnovers. Easier said than done.

Any predictions for upsets in the Division 1 playoffs? I think that the DLS/Pittsburg game is 85%/15% DLS. The SRV/AV game is 60%/40% SRV. The Cal/Foothill game is 65%/35% Cal. The Logan/Freedom game is 60%/40% Logan.

Unfortunately, the Antioch incident in the locker room, if it is indeed true, only follows their behavior all year long. From cheap shots during games to classless behavior on the sideline (especially in their Deer Valley game), this kind of behavior has plagued them all year long. It looks like the staff there will have to perform quite an eradication of those attitudes if they want to grow up and become a real team. That, and schedule a real opponent in the non-league. They have played Mt D two years in a row now, should be done with that contract at least . . .

The 11 seeded Encinal Jets are in the 2nd round. 6th year in a row. Not even a good game from Bleacher.

Did anybody other than O Dowd win in the first round from the WACC?
