I think CN and San Marin really needs to step up their OOC schedule next year , CN had a weak non league schedule and once they couldn’t out athlete someone they looked lost, MC had intense non league where they took some lumps but the shock factor was gone by the time league started

I'm not sure about Newman. They beat Vacaville and Pleasant Valley who are both good teams and either in 1st or 2nd in their league and will both be playoff teams. O'Dowd was not very good but I think most expected more. I would drop Armijo and pick up somebody like Central Catholic or somebody like that. Newman had chances in this game against MC. They were in the red zone on the 2nd series I think and had a few penalties hurt them. Then they had to settle for a FG on that other drive. There offense looked way out of synch. Receivers or QB weren't on the same page. But in this case I don't think the lack of schedule hurt them. I just think MC outplayed them.
I'm actually surprised MC lost to Inderkum.
I totally disagree they didn’t face a single team that speed and next level athletes, like St Mary’s, Indy and Manteca even Edison is legit speed……..Vacaville is solid but Pleasnat Valley has zero not a single guy with dangerous speed who’s a game changer, CN wasn’t even once at any athlete deficit against PV……Armijo is terrible
MC losing to Indy? I mean MC lost a ton of talent, they were missing almost their entire offensive line, snapped 2 punts at their goal line and the offense turned it over 3 times and gave up 9 sacks, not sure why that’s surprising versus an 8-2 super solid Indy squad……if they played now it be a good game
once CN realized they couldn’t just run past or over MC they didn’t really have an answer all game, they still were running with 1 minute left thinking Gentry was going to break one, that works gassing BOD, Armijo and PV
Not sure what your point is. MC doesn't have game changing athletes so how does that preparation matter? CN has equal or better talent than MC. I would say better to be honest. MC came to play and dominated the line of scrimmage. That was the difference. They also took advantage of that first Pick and got up fast which was big in a low scoring game. I would also say MC is better coached as well. Newman's offense was predictable and off today. Newman running at end it didn't matter. Game was over.
That’s my point is that MC was not phased by any of CN superior athletes because they played several games with similar or better athletes, MC defense was ready and well adjusted to handle anything thrown at them where CN wasn’t ready to attack MC when they just couldn’t use the speed to run past them like they have against everyone else’
