the velva game would be hard to come back from since it was in the playoffs......but they started 3-0 so I guess they recovered pretty well. Too bad Beach went "down" to 9 man. Been interesting to see how they would have done against watford and hazen. 35-0 is not very good, but I definitely can think of a game or two from last year that involved much worse beatdowns. Nice to see you are still using your original quotes. Nice to also see how you couldn't really back up anything yourself so you are going to take credit for another teams performance. If I recall from last year the #2 ranked A team took it on the chin from an unrated team. So if you look at this years rankings, Hazen beating new salem wasn't a shocker. Now if they would have switched the scores around it would have been a shocker/news worthy game.
Anyway back to this game. Hazen has that great of defense or was new salem's offense stagnant? I would venture to guess, since hazen is a top fav. team this year it would be due to having a solid defense.
