WEEK 5
We are starting to separate the men from the boys in HOCO. With most teams playing 2 games last week, we are back on our regular schedule. I’m 19-5, hoping to go 6-0 again this week.
GLENELG @ OAKLAND MILLS. Glenelg has dropped their last 2 , but they should get back on track this week vs. the scorps.
HAMMOND @ MOUNT HEBRON. A running clock on old Frederick road. Hebron moves to 5-0. The refs love these games because they get home early.
RESERVOIR @ MARRIOTTS RIDGE- The ridge will put up a fight and they have won their last 2, but they don’t bring enough to the party to keep Resi from swimming to 5-0.
CENTENNIAL @ LONG REACH. The reach will get back on the winning side during the Centennial bye week.
WILDE LAKE @ RIVER HILL. The lake played Howard tough last week, but they won’t be able to hang with these hawks. Jett Born (198 last week) and Shrek (the pounder)will run wild(E). RH D looked good against Long Reach. RH moves to 4-1.
HOWARD @ ATHOLTON. Atholton has won their last 2, but I don’t expect them to knock off Howard. D Moore should run for 150+ against this porous defense and Howard stays undefeated.

WEEK 5 POSTMORTEM
Well it was a week of upsets in HOCO. Undefeated Howard loses to Atholton and a 1 loss RH squad falls to Wilde Lake.
I went 4-2 on the week with an overall record of 23-7.
Let’s start with the Friday night action. Oakland Mills kept it close vs Glenelg only losing 10-0. Gladiators move to 3-2 and OM is still searching for their first win. A wise coach once told me that, much like a rattlesnake in your sleeping bag, turnovers will kill you. That’s what happened in the other Friday night games. By all accounts Marriotts Ridge should have beaten Reservoir , but they fumbled the ball away twice in crucial situations. Resi remains undefeated . In the same vein, River Hill appeared to be cruising for a victory over Wilde Lake. A crucial turnover at the goal line changed the tone of this game as well. WL’s running back #26 was a rushing force for the Cats and they also had a crazy 99 yard run play. Backed up on their own 1 yard line, they ran a QB lead to get some breathing room. It appeared the hawks pushed the pile back enough for a safety, but somehow another WL players comes out of the scrum and takes it 99 yards to the house. Crazy play.
Then on Saturday another huge upset happens-the 2-2 Atholton Raiders knock off the undefeated Howard Lions. Shocker. Definitely on my list to watch this week.
Centennial stays within 5 points of Long Reach. Wow. Somehow Centennial doesn’t play Hammond or Oakland Mills. How can that be?
Mount Hebron lays the smack down on Hammond. The clock runs.
2 undefeated teams remain: Reservoir and Mount Hebron. Resi plays a resurgent atholton next week while Hebron gets the hawks.
