Hansen is a great athlete and that makes him a great runner, but wasn't as good of a decision maker as I'd like to see in the pass game.
Also, I feel like the coaches should make more of a point of making sure Jiskra gets the ball. Also, he's a far better player than Hansen is. He just doesn't get the touches to get the recoginition.

interesting observation......Grafton could have scored more points for sure....in all reality when it comes to Football....it isn't until the NFL when QB's are literally forced to get rid of the ball.....all in all you have to be impressed with Hanson, he played it safe.... its not like he ran up his stats.....
Wide open and Completion are 2 different things.....If Grafton had a Player who was better than Hanson at QB.....then Hanson would have been the best Running back in the State at the AA level.

Grafton also only threw eleven passes. Two in the second half. Hanson probably missed a couple open recievers but there also was a couple drops(Lunde and Jiskra deep) and 50 yard touchdown (sudas) called back. The whole second half Grafton was ultra conservative because they knew they could ride their defense and not make any turnovers. Hanson also does a good job at taking care of the football. Only 2 interceptions all year.

Not gonna work against a good team like Grafton. And really, it took til the 4th quarter to realize maybe we should throw? There was a point in the 3rd quarter where they had 38 rushing yards and completed 1 pass for 7 yards. The only time they started moving the ball was when they started going 4 and 5 wide and throwing. Then, they throw the ball all the way down the field for like 80 yards, get to the 5 and go back to the Jumbo T and get stuffed 4 times in a row. Don't change what was working.
Would've been more successful if they just kept last year's system that Laqua had.

It is easy to sit back and be an arm chair quarterback and criticize. What people forget is that this was supposed to be a down year for Shanley talent wise. Shanley did pretty well so I'd say stick with that T formation. People don't realize that last year Shanley ran the the veer which set up the pass. If you set up for the pass Montplaiser killed you by pulling the ball and running outside.
Shanley did throw try to throw on Grafton in the championship. Shanleys quarterback took forever to settle down and was throwing the football over every receivers head the first half.
Grafton just had a good team across the board. I laughed when I people said Grafton could have won the 3A east. After seeing Graftons big lineman on both sides of the ball I'd agree they would definetly be able to play and beat anyone in the east THIS YEAR. Graftons skill players get all the press but Graftons defensive line controlled the front.
