GV Football - Playoff Game 1 vs Haverford

The Division 1 6A playoffs began tonight, with #1 seed Garnet Valley hosting #16 Haverford.

Three weeks ago we beat Haverford 55-14, but things can change, and you can't take anything for granted in the playoffs.

And of course that also means that marching band season continues, and Grace gets to lead the band in additional halftime performances (or pre-game in tonight's case).

Stop looking at me, Dad!

Tonight's band performance was their best of the year, and served as a good warm up for the Conestoga competition we will be traveling to tomorrow. But that's a different post...

...but I'm glad you care.

The game itself was...methodical. There weren't many spectacular plays, and we made some sloppy mistakes which will need to be corrected in the future against tougher competition, but we won easily 42-0.

Our offense was a little out of sync, but our defense was stout, and by the start of the second half we were playing backups and operating on a running clock, having gotten out to a lead of 35 points or more one drive into the second half...

We are now 11-0, having outscored our opponents 531-118.

Playoff round 2 next week will have GV hosting Central Bucks West. CBW is 9-2, and has outscored their opponents 257-159.

So GV's average game score is 48-11, and CBW's is 23-14. Hopefully our offense continues to roll.

More importantly, another week of band season.

Go Jags!
