Football the week of Thanksgiving. The time of year that its starting to get serious. Theres nothing I loathe more than running into a charter school outside a large population center playing in 1A along the way. Make no mistake this will be no easy task for ER. Corvian comes in undefeated outscoring their opponents 552 to 88. They beat Mount Island Charter 41-7 which is more impressive than Mt Airy was even able to pull off. They run a wide open foot on the gas spread no huddle offense (think Oregon Ducks with Chip Kelly at the helm). On defense they play down hill bringing the heat every play and forcing the QB to make quick decisions. #10 Cam Johnson at RB averages over 100 per game and over 6 yards a carry. AJ Jackson at QB has 1100 yards passing on the year with 66% completion and 15td to 4 ints. On defense you're looking at row of guys all over 6'3 and 200 lbs. #8 Adrian Scott at 6'5 215 really looks stout playing DE with 20 of his 39 tackles on the year being for a loss.
ER will do their best to limp some guys out there and keep it competitive. Not sure the field can hold out for another week anyway. Besides we're kind of a basketball school now and the coach is getting a little antsy waiting for his guys to be available. On the flip side I think this may be Corvians first opportunity to get hit in the mouth playing in the mud and get their uniforms dirty. We'll see how they respond to a little adversity. Its the week of Thanksgiving and teenagers attention span could be all over the place on both sides trying to keep it together this week. All the best to Corvian as they travel down in their private jets and helicopters. Sure is nice not having to leave but an hour before gametime.
