JV 35-NBC 20

well hey I love rooting for the underdog and if NBC plays like a team I think they can hold this one out but it's gonna be a close game.

If bleacherbumps info. on JV not running much is correct, there's no reason why NB can't jump on this team and continue winning. If the same run defense shows up this week like last week, they'll hold a fast JV team to 100 yds. +/- rushing...keep everything contained and don't let them break something for yardage on the outside and they'll be fine. The secondary obviously held down Everett's dynamic duo so that shouldn't be a problem. AND they did all this on 3 days of practice and completing a postponed game on the Monday of the same week. Sounds like another packed homegame and an exciting Friday night under the lights...

[Coach]

BIG PLAYS is something that is significant in a game like this. JV can't have ANY...none...nothing...0.

NB needs a punt return, defensive td...something to complement the offense.

NB's offense has been racking up decent yardage...but they aren't getting enough pts for the yards they are getting. Right now...they aren't being efficient enough. They are missing opportunities. Tonight, they can't have that. If they get to 21 pts on the big board, then I think they WILL win this game.

I hope that Northern Bedford pulls it out, and I am rooting for them, but unfortunately, I think that Juniata Valley might be a little bit much for them. However, if Northern Bedford plays on all cylinders, they should be able to keep it close, or even pull off the upset.

Man, I really hope NB can pull this out, but Juniata Valley looks pretty tough. From what I heard, no one though NB could beat Everett either, but it happened, If these guys come together, I think NB can look for the upset, but to win this they have to keep the score down. Its nice to see Dan Foor doing well this year, especially because he seems to be on the bubble with his job.

Ill shoot for the upset

NB 20 - JV 18

Unbelievable!...A person was on the bubble for his job for one losing season last year? It was only a couple of seasons ago, NB started 6-0 behind Coach Foor. I don't think there's very much truth in the "on the bubble" comment...

[deliverance]

One thing that is sure about this Panther team is that they love to be the underdog. They won't give up on tonight's game no matter what the score is.

[Coach]

People are hilarious...I am not mocking anyone, but please think about this...

Dan Foor is no where near a bubble. The man puts in hours and hours and hours over the summer, during the season, in the offseason, after games, etc to prepare his football team for battle. In the last 5 years (if they win one more game this year), Dan Foor will be over .500 in 4 of the 5 seasons. This is a pretty big accomplishment at the A level of football where it is tough to be pretty good year in and year out.

Single A schools in D5 rarely ever have anyone on a bubble in my opinion. Dan Foor could coach the Panthers without worry for the next 20 years if he so choses to do that.

People have great short term memories. Yes...last year they didn't play well, but that was not the coach's fault. Forget about that one year...this year the Panthers are 4-0. Two years ago they started 6-0. The year before that they were a 5 win team (I think) and the year before that they were in the playoffs with 6 wins. The team has been very consistent under a coach that I feel is "excellent."

In the JV vs SH game, Southern moved the ball on JV in the first half. I think the score at halftime was JV-9 SH-7. But after halftime Valley started shooting the A gap and they were getting to the quarterback even before he could hand the ball off. You need to pick up the blitz, slow the game down to your speed, don't let hoffmaster and boyd outside, contain them and I think if you do these things you have a very good ball game.
