Is Manchester playing Defiance twice??? Curious to know...

FCGrizzliesGrad

There are 3 games this week which are non-conference with a rematch in week 10 counting as a conference game due to the opening in the schedule from Earlham not playing. Manchester-Defiance, Franklin-Bluffton, MSJ-Anderson.

I see, I was just curious because Salisbury had openings this week and next week, but I'm assuming due to the technical aspect of Earlham, it was best solution for the conference and there was no interest to play outside opponents...sigh!

It wasn't known until November and that left 8 teams suddenly with an opening. If 1 team found a 3rd opponent then a 2nd team has to or they'd have no one. Ultimately Hanover and Rose added games (my guess is Hanover this week with Maryville and Rose week 11 with St John's).
Mount has an odd choice in week 11 with SUNY Maritime. Since they stopped playing Thomas More (their traditional week 11 matchup) they generally have had their bye week then.

Hopefully next season scheduling will be cleaner, but until we know if Earlham will play then you can really only schedule a single year rather than a traditional home and home deal.

Braden Smith not at QB today for Franklin. Grizzlies have run twice as much as passed so far and were rather conservative in the final minute before halftime. 14-7 lead on Bluffton at the half.

Hanover up 17-3 in the 3rd down in Tennessee against Maryville. Looks like they've doubled up the Scots offense so far and lead the turnover battle 2-0

MSJ only up 14-0 on Anderson at halftime. Anderson is certainly improved this season. Let's see if they can keep it close in the 2nd half.

Franklin leads 24-19 with 1:10 left in the 3rd and they're on a delay for lightning.

Hanover lead 24-10 with under 5 minutes left and just intercepted so looking good to win now.

MSJ still leads 14-0 midway through the 3rd.

Hanover wins 31-10.

Anderson held strong for nearly 3 quarters. MSJ finally broke through in the final minute of the 3rd and led 34-0 before a late Ravens TD made it a 34-7 final.

Not sure if it was a fumble or interception but the ball was up for grabs in a group at the line and a Franklin player ended up with it and got a nice return. Grizzlies up 27-19 with under 3 minutes left trying to close it out.

34-19 Franklin wins.

I lost count of how many times the seas parted and the Bluffton QB just stepped up and ran straight ahead for 8-10 yards because the Franklin D line were upfield and off to the sides and there were no linebackers in the middle backing them up.

Now that we're headed into conference play, here's where I see the conference

Hanover is at the top. They'll easily be 6-1 headed into November when the challenges begin.
MSJ has the edge for #2 but they've been a bit lackluster so far. This week against Franklin will show if they'll fight with Hanover for the title or not.
Rose is hard to read after those first two game. They could go anywhere in the top 4 at the moment.
Franklin is still a top half team but they're either 3rd or 4th best.

Bluffton is solidly at #5 and could upset someone above.

Manchester and Anderson are 6th and 7th. Will be a good season finale between these two.

Defiance I think is at Earlham levels right now. With all the long losing streaks broken already this year I wonder if Earlham could have broken theirs against the Yellow Jackets.

GRIZ_BACKER

The GRIZ appeared to have more fight in them in the second half.  Lack of depth at QB and receiving corps has essentially squelched any opportunity for a conference championship, porous defense not withstanding. FC doesnt appear to have the juice even if QB were healthy.  Opportunities for young players to get in there this year and compete.

Total rebuild at Franklin, worst GRIZ team in around 20 years.  Throw in the fact that the returning QB is hurt, the GRIZ are in for a long season!
