Serra's end of 1st Half Issues

[Streak One]

Going over Serra's season and the end of the first half has been an issue for the Padres.

Gave up a touchdown to Folsom on the final play of the half for the deficit to go from 14-13 to 21-13

Gave up a 90+ yard drive to De La Salle in the final minute to take that game from 7-3 to 14-3

Gave up two TDs to SJB in the final four or so minutes to take that game from 14-10 to 28-10

Not saying it is something Serra is doing wrong, but it is at least a trend through the first three games

in each of those games what seems to happen is that serra gets the ball halfway through the second quarter and they focus on trying to hold the ball for the rest of the half instead of continuing there normal game plan. which leads to them punting and leaving the other team with too much time. then they change there defense up to try and make it to halftime which results in big plays for the opponent.

basically right now they have a habit of getting out of there gameplans in the second half of second quarters. they have a top 3 coaching staff in nor cal (minimum) so theyl'll clean it up sooner rather then later.

Based on what I saw of the De la Salle game, it seemed things would have gone very differently had it not been for that minute-long meltdown. Not saying they would have won, but they looked a lot more complete that game than they did vs Folsom.
