The mighty Dons begin their in conference play Friday at 7pm. Many believe that this game could expose the ineptitude of the LB coaching staff and the fraudulent players that are on the team. Catch the Gaels beating the Dons 14-6 under the lights.
The more likely result is that the Dons "only" beat the Gaels 14-6 which exposes the ineptitude of the LB coaching staff, which I think is well established anyway.
"Fraudulent players?" Boring.
LB hasn't hit rock bottom in terms of on-field performance yet, and that should scare/motivate people. Recruitment of 2026 and 2027 classes was not handled very well, partially due to the tenuous future of the coaching staff. 2028 could be the same if a new coach isn't announced in the next 90 days or so.
And yet LB got the best of 2026 class.
Prediction was close for my Dons, only beat the Gaels 14-8. Offense looked good, 11-2 in first half, cruised in the 2nd. Face off and defense still working, everything is in place. MSJ small. Offensively not bad, but defense and goalie are not good.
MSJ won second half 5-2 with LB starters in. LB faceoff got wrecked in the 2nd half and the defense & goalie struggled as MSJ got it turned around after a slow start. LB will struggle in pivotal games if this inconsistent play keeps up.
You're either recruiting for MSJ athletics in some capacity, or you have never played sports yourself, or both.
If you "lost the first half" 12-3, you really didn't win the 2nd half at all, as LB was working the ball around and eating clock.
MSJ won't even HAVE any pivotal games this year, let alone have the outcome in enough doubt to label as a legitimate "struggle". But you'll always have Catonsville HS to play. And by all means yes, please take it out on John Carroll.
