Using this thread (mostly for my own enjoyment) to keep track year by year game by game my time at St. John's in the MIAC.

A few notes:
I have played GD a few times but never for very long as I have had other things get in my way.
First time in Rockne.
Each season I will post some goals both long term and for the season.
Feel free to call me a fool or tell me what I am doing wrong as I learn.

BASE 2

BASE 2 is a theory we developed at our school and I am going to see how it translates to the game. Some of the theory plays into the emotion of a high school football game and wont work the same here but it will be fun to keep track of. SO what is BASE 10....

B- Big Play- Score from 30 yards out. (once per game)
A- Answer- If the other team scores we need to score on the following posession (once per game)
S- Score First- Self Explanitory
E- Extend the Lead- Score while in the lead
2- Score in the Final 2 min of a quarter- This one translates the least, its much more difficult for a High School kid to look at the score board after the end of the first and see 10-0 as opposed to seeing that with 10 min to go in the half. Kids base things on that natural break in the game.

The goal is to hit 3 of the 5 in each game. When we did that at the HS level we won 73% of the time. The same play could count for more than one. IE we score a 40yd TD on the opening drive it would be a Big Play and scoring first.

Game One Summary:

After trailing 14-0, the Johnnies were able to score a late 1st half touchdown when Oscar "the Grouch" McKinley plunged in from 3 yards out. McKinley, who is adjusting to his role as the teams fullback this year, had 8 carries on the day but his 3 yard plow into the endzone was his longest of the day. The Johhnies then turned the opening posession of the 2nd half into 3 points off the leg of Senior Kicker Charles Townsand when he split the uprights from 42 yards. After downing a punt at the one, the Johnnies turned the next possesion into the game winning touchdown as Harvey Huges put together a 3 play 81 yard drive in which he carried the ball each play.
