Curious to hear how Roman Catholic did Saturday vs St Augustine Prep who's #1 in South Jersey.

They open vs Neshaminy friday night, Spread on that?
 
I was not there but it's my understanding that Roman struggled, especially moving the ball on O. Granted, it's a scrimmage so time will tell.

I was also told that SJP played starters for one half against Bergen Catholic and it was 14-7 at the half Prep. Second half was different story with substitutions and Bergen lead 28-14 at the end.

Saw a piece on a North Jersey site under a headline that BC "defeated" SJP 28-14: http://www.northjersey.com/photo-ga...t-joseph-of-pa-28-14-in-a-scrimmage-1.1648246

I've never really understood why such attention is paid to the scores of scrimmages since the main point of scrimmages is not to have the most points at the end of the day.
 
I heard Roman lost 29-7, but that the score doesn't give the competitiveness of the game much justice. I was told it was a lot closer than that and that they held their own. Roman might be able to bounce back some this year. They return a good bit and have nice size on LOS. A lot will depend on how much the QB improved. Word is that he's headed in right direction, so time will tell.

I did hear the same about the right direction, he has worked hard over the past year i do know that, he did get his first offer i guess we will see soon enough. For the last 2 years his fav WR is #1 a great size player with good hands. I'm curious to see them this year.

Did anyone see the Wood/ Pennsbury scrimmage, and if so could you provide some information. Wood has a monster game this week in Ohio.
 
Roman game was a lot closer than 29-7...... Roman struck first with 75yrd td to #10 a transfer slot wr. #1 is still his favorite target. The strength is the passing game this yr the qb spread it out a lot. Looks like they try to get you lbs to matchup on their slots. #9 and #10 did work in the slots. Both Rbs that carried the load are transfers.

Defense struggled in tackling. Looks like they were running a 3-4. Dbacks played solid but upfront struggled in shedding blocks and LBs didn't look well either. I was told that their unit looks different once starter Colloso(MLB) returns for the opener. Overall still not a huge jump. It'll be good games against the Ryans and Carrolls of the PCL.

I think Roman does better then last year, an will get better every year from here on out, I think they go 4-7 this year which is an improvement from last year. Wins vs CHA, Carroll, Ryan, Roxborough but what do it know :)
 
RCH13co18 et al. -

To all the Cahillites of Roman Catholic I know I speak for all of us loyal Neshaminy fans when I say we're looking forward to hosting your team, its staff and all the supporters who make their way to "The Ridge" this Friday night. It will be great having the opportunity to play you guys as your school and its teams have a long and storied history in Philly (and the PCL - going way back). Here's to a great game!

Good luck and see you all in a few days.
 
I have zero doubt that Roman will be much improved. They still have a difficult schedule, so forecasting the amount of wins at this point isn't easy. However, most of their games should be much more competitive. Plus, last year was a major struggle, but that had a lot to do with who they played. No cupcakes on that slate. I give them credit for that.
