They do a nice job with the kids, but it is like they panic in play off games. We have a weaker region so we don;t get tested as much. My son is their main running back and carried the ball for close to 1200 yards playing 22 quarters this year. Most games the starters were out in the 2nd quarter. He was averaging almost 10 yards a carry. So when we run into a tough team and suddenly we are only getting 4 or 5 yards a carry they seem to panic and think the other team has stopped the run game.  WE have 3 senior running backs that are all good backs. When we played Kenmare this year, the first half we came out passing, basically playing the offense Kenmare saw every day in practice. At half we were down 8 - 18.  We came out the 2nd half and never threw a pass and ran 3 beautiful drives to score just hammering the ball down their throat and used a lot of clock and kept Kenmare off the field. Held them scoreless the 2nd half to win. I thought maybe they had it figured out then. Anyways shes said and done. Will be fun to see if Kenmare can get by North Prairie. The Rodine kid is a hell of a passer if he gets time and Jez and his brother (Rodine) and the St Croix kid have good hands. I think St John will have to play a hell of a game to get past New Salem.</blockquote>
