How bad do you think MC will beat the Mats? I think Drew Anderson can be the difference here. Force MC to double or triple up on Williams and then let Deutz, Sheehan, Fuller, Paoletti, Bruen, et al have the games of their HS career. In the Mats blow-out loses over the last couple of years turnovers have killed them. It will be interesting to see if Anderson has matured enough to throw it away when pressured in this just his 5th varsity start. I expect the Mats run to pass ratio to be 20% – 80%. Big plays can keep them in it and will Cal-bound Goff want to get shown-up by a junior?

Respect to Novato they played hard. Motivated like a senior laden team should. Can’t discount the other team.

For any chance at CN Encinal’s offense has to SCORE! Dominate the time of possession. Throw a couple of key passes. D is gonnna show up. It has all year. Played every game other then Serra good enough to win.
Play with some passion not like there’s always next year. Too many guys didn’t seem to have that kind of urgency.

CN is good. Senior laden. I think they could be the best team in the tourney. Gonna take some motivated efficient football to beat them. Great coaching. Lil magic.

Another 2nd round exit for the Mats. Just a lot of talk about nothing. Defense & running win in the play-offs. MC will give Miramonte a heavy dose of that in a convincing win.
