A Closer Look at # 10 Calvert and May at # 9
By
October 30, 2006
I have seen Calvert play this season just once and that was in Week Zero. I feel they are bound to be a better team now than they were then. In Week Zero, Calvert participated in the Super Saturday at Hico where they took on the Valley Patriots. Calvert lost that day. As I recall, they turned the ball over twice deep in Valley's territory during the last 3 minutes of the game. During their next two games, they hammered their opponents by a combined score of 106 to 8. It was their fourth game of the season that raised more than a few eyebrows across Six-Man land. They travelled to Trinidad to take on a strong Trojan team, and won 28-14. The next two games were won 45-0. Then another win by the score of 64-14. In week Eight, they beat winless Cherokee 56-6. Calvert is big and strong and has a fair amount of spped. I currently have them ranked # 10 in my poll here at Six-Man Central.
I have not seen the May Tigers play this season. I do have them ranked # 9 in my poll. What I can tell you about May is this, they are 8-0. They do not appear on anyother Top 10 list I have seen. The knock by others is they have not played any really good teams. I am not sure that is true. What I know is true is they are a very stingy defense. In 8 games, the Tiger DEFENSE has given up a total of 32 points. Woodson “hung” 14 on them the first game of the season. Since then they have registered 4 shutouts and in three other games they have allowed 6 points a piece. 14 + 18 = 32 points. I have seen one fairly good team this season that gave up 99 points in one game. I agree that the May Tigers have not played a very stout schedule but I am impressed with the D and I have them at # 9 because of it.
