Dear Frederick

This post reminds me of the time our rivalry team came over to our field the night before a game and messed stuff up at the field and wrote some notes to our team. We were extremely pissed that the other team would do that. Later on in life we find out that our OWN COACHES did it to fire up our team. The post is either that or a child on the sports forum.

This will be a good game. I think the teams match up well against each other on both sides of the ball. Chandler guy here.

Chandler - 27
Fredrick - 20

Go Lions!!!

Just looked at Fredrick schedule, nothing impressive. If you take Chandler's strength of schedule against Frederick's, I think you would rank them defensively about the same. Chandler's strength on defense is stopping the run, however they have shown improvement in pass defense since the Jones games. We will see. Should be a good one, but they will not hold Chandler's offense to 6 points like they did Davis, and they need to throw the ball to attack Chandler's weakness. Can't wait till Friday!!!

I tried looking that up too, but referred to strength of schedule, which is where my opinion came from. If you take Chandler pulling starters out against a much tougher schedule, I would think they would rank about the same defensively.

I would like to see these rankings . Who has the best Defense ? The best Offense ?

They have given up 11.3 ppg this year. Second to Washington. Frederick Washington was 12-7 at half but you can’t win with 6 turnovers. I have seen the defense with my own eyes. They are real.

Does either team have the ability to throw the ball?

any game at this level is won upfront. Which team can shove each other around. The team that wins the line wins the game

Not a Chandler fan, but just my opinion. They have the ability to control the line. You don’t average 294 rushing yards per game on 8.7 yards per carry without being able to do that.

However, what would concern me if I were a Chandler fan, would be what they do against the better teams.

Poteau- 107 rushing yards (4.1 per carry)
Crossings- 152 rushing yards (4.2 per carry)
Jones- 103 rushing yards (3.3 per carry)

If Chandler can run it like they are accustomed to, then they have a really good shot at winning. But if it’s like those 3 games, it’s gonna be tough sledding, because they’re passing game is good enough to keep teams honest, but I don’t see them throwing it well enough to win without a good running game.
