A weird year so far for sure. So many of the Prep's TD's have been scored from other than an offensive play from scrimmage--interception returns, fumble recoveries, and punt returns. Interesting that there are no kickoff returns for TDs--partly, perhaps, because the defense has given up few TDs--and no field goals that I can recall.Two interesting tidbits about this match-up that caught my attention. One, each team kicker is their leading scorer. Two, their leading rushers currently sit at 287 & 282 yards, respectively. Last year at this time, the leading rushers were at 890-634. A few reasons for this quirky stats, IMO.

Any idea if Freeman is returning for Friday? That could be a big help.

In these games offensive yards just really weren't there and when you're mercy ruling teams in the first quarter and a half, then starters aren't going to see many touches. Hence, the odd numbers for the season so far.
The average starting field position for the the Hawks in these two games is at their opponent's 43-yard line.
They have had 22 possessions:
2 Punt returns for TDs
2 INT returns for TDs
9 Offensive TDs
4 Punts
4 turned over on downs
1 turnover (muffed punt)
Their 9 offensive TDs have only generated 338 yards of offense, or 37.7 yards per scoring drive. Their four return scores have only covered 139 yards, or 34.8 per return.
Furthermore, their top two RBs only have a combined 14 carries between them.
Thanks, Huck. Even weirder to see it all spelled out. That's why the last few games provide next to nothing to help with predictions for Friday night. Frankly, I think Friday's game will even be less of an indication than usual of what to expect in the November game.
Any word on whether there's a chance Simmons comes back later in the year?
Is there any word regarding LaSalle's starting QB? Is he playing or practicing again? If so, is he playing QB? I can't imagine they pull the back up now. I don't know if LaSalle wins Friday night, but I do think they'll beat Prep in the state playoff game. Either way, I think both will be excellent games.
HS I think if Prep blows out LS friday then the playoff game goes prep. Lets say if it stays within 10, then this feels like a LS win in playoffs. Prep has potential to completely shut down LS offense and create short fields and run away. But if they can't do that it just feels like LS this year.
If LaSalle wins, Solecki will be PCL Red MVP, even if they lose i still think he's MVP. It's going to be a great game, La Salle is all healthy.
LaSalle's PCL wins with Solecki as QB have been against Ryan, Carroll, Judge, and Roman. Let's wait till they play the Prep and Wood. And let's not forget McCrea.If LaSalle wins, Solecki will be PCL Red MVP, even if they lose i still think he's MVP. It's going to be a great game, La Salle is all healthy.

I was in a big hurry. Yes, I meant McCray. My point is that McCray has been a consistently very good QB for most of two years. People might argue that it was all Swift last year, but there were some games (such as against Wood) where Swift played little if at all. McCray played well against Wood this year, so I would argue that going into this week's game he has at least as strong a case to be considered MVP as Solecki. Granted it's been a very strange year because of all the lopsided games.Who is McCrea? Do you mean McCray?
From a statistical standpoint, no player has truly emerged as a frontrunner just yet. Maybe, Solecki or Peoples from AW. If LS wins both then I'd imagine he was instrumental and would get serious consideration.
Will the game be live streamed anywhere?Also, Vs McDonough, Lasalle missed 2FGs and had a TD Called back, 21-9 could have been a W, they did a great job with containing Ellis who is phenomenal. He had a Long 80yd catch, and then to seal it a 80yrd Run in the 4th He didnt have many passing yards vs LaSalle and only had maybe 120 yards Rushing. They were a really good Team, a DT that's going to Penn State was a monster. Who knows if Jones plays the entire game things would have been different nobody knows but it's still a L and you move on. Tonight will be a grind, this is what it's all about. Good Luck to Both Teams
Always comes down to that doesn't it, running the ball. Even vs the Pine Richland types, you can play keep away if you can pound it and "clock" em right out of the game.I think both teams could struggle to run the ball. I'm interested to see who can do it better because I believe that will help that team win the game.
