Ya......one of those games were againist one of the top 9-man in the state(north border) and they had to play 9 man when they are 11 man, thats bush.... a number 1 team in the region(Langdon), and one of the top AA teams in state(grafton)

MPCG beat Linton by 1 point, Lisbon beat Linton by 6... that's fairly close as far as common opponents go... Cavalier beat MPCG by 28 and Langdon has beaten MPCG twice, most recently by 20 in last week's playoff game.
As far as Cavalier playing NB, yes they did get beat, but you can't tell me that it isn't easier to score points going 9 on 9 (which it was when NB had the ball on offense) as it is to score 11-11 (which it was when Cavalier had it)... Especially since NB is an air it out team where those wide open spaces help them a lot, as opposed to cavalier's grind it out offense. Toughregion2- Cavalier's strength is it's huge line so taking 2 of them out of the game hurts them a heck of a lot more than taking out two "Skill players" which is the worst term in all of football. Besides, I'm pretty sure that game was considered a scrimmage and didn't count anyway.

I make no sense? you're the one who pointed out that 9 man offense is different because 2 linemen come out of the game... and then in the very next post try to say that it's less explosive because there are less options to go to? The last time I checked Linemen were not offensive options in scoring!toughregion2 wrote:Wombat wrote:Maybe if the last place team beats up on the first place team that is a sign of strength... afterall the last team to sneak into the playoffs from that region, May-port CG who just wrapped up a 3-5 season is the only team besides Lisbon to hand Linton a loss this year...

It did count as a non conference game in the standings. You make no sense when you say its easier to score on 9 man GOOD ONE. Is that why 9 man football is considered grind it out run orientated offense, and 11 man is considered a more dynamic offense with more options like throwing to a tight end. Cavalier Knew exactly what they were getting into playing North Border and their offense. If they wouldnt of been so bent on getting revenge on the year befores game they wouldnt of played this game. In my mind cavalier has it coming from alot of teams. North Border poured the coals to cavalier this year in basketball and cavalier fans had alot of bad feelings on that. Well my question is what was it called when Cavalier was a power in Football and beat up on teams weak after weak after weak. COMES AROUND GOES AROUND. CAVALIER GOT BEAT BY A BETTER PROGRAM THIS YEAR IN NORTH BORDER PLAIN AND SIMPLE

9 Man is grind it out??? GOOD ONE! you're on crack! What planet did you come here from? the top 10 teams in the state are scoring over 40 pts. per game, including 2 teams scoring over 50!!!! In class A Cavalier leads the scoring per game with 36, and only 2 other teams in A even score 30 pts a game.... In AA 3 teams score over 30 pts. per game and the leader is only 33.5.... AAA Fargo South does score 46 per game but then 33 and 30.1 are the only others over 30... yup, sounds like 9 man is grind it out compared to the other classes, you're on top of your game buddy!
By the way WEAK means not strong, WEEK means a period of 7 days... for 4 years cavalier beat a LOT of teams, some of them they beat pretty badly, and 3 of those years they were the #1 team in the state and 2nd the 4th year... I played the first year Cavalier won state and until the playoffs started we only played in ONE GAME past halftime... sometimes we'd come out for 1 series to get up by 30 pts for the clock to keep running, but after that it wasn't cavalier's fault that their JV kicked most teams butts in the 2nd half of games!
What comes around goes around? NB beat cavalier last year in their first meeting in what? 2 decades? if what goes around comes around cavalier would have won this year...
"Cavalier knew what they were getting into"... YOU'RE RIGHT, they knew they were getting a non-conference scrimmage. Cavalier got beat in a SCRIMMAGE against NB, I'm not taking ANYTHING away from NB because they've got a tremendous team this season and I am not even saying NB wouldn't beat Cavalier had it been played 11 man both ways. I have a lot of respect for their players, and especially their coaches!
My last point... NB laid the coals on Cavalier this year in basketball... I double checked on NDHSAA.com and the only fall sports for guys in Class B are Cross Country and Football... THIS YEAR's basketball season starts sometime in November I think (not really sure, i don't play BB maybe it's early December)... If Cavalier fans wanted to get back at NB for LAST year's basketball games they'd want to do it in Basketball since some of the players don't even PLAY football who are on the BB team... If they had something to prove it would have been to prove they were better than last year in football when NB beat cavalier and then was denied a rematch due to the reclassification this year in ND.
Napoleon has 2 of the better running backs in the state in Gross and McCleary and they are a running team. That doesn't mean that the best teams in the state for 9 man HAVE to be running teams... look at who's left in the East (i'm not too familiar with the west schools in 9-man)toughregion2 wrote:Well you go watch the defending champs in 9man football and the #1 team in the state this year and see how often they pass the football.
And last i checked a tight end was cosidered a lineman and a offensive threat.
3rd last year was the first time North Border has played Cavalier in football so first time in 2 decades dont mean much.
There are way more sets and pulls in 11 man because you have the bodys. 9man is pretty much straight up and a person of your football knowledge should know this.
One thing of have learned when i moved to the area was that you cant beat CAVALIER they whine if they win they whine if they lose.
have a great day =)
