  1. last time brewer picked against Del Sol they destroyed Silverado...

  2. and your point is??

  3. I guess Basic didn't get the notice about how good Madu-Jules is but I'm pretty sure Madu-Jules found out how good the Basic defense is. Basic isn't the best team in the area but they are the best team in Henderson.

  4. It's not that Basic didn't notice about how good Madu-Jules is, it's that they totally stuffed Silverado's one dimensional offense. I think that they didn't even throw the ball five times before their last drive. When they started throwing it they were moving the ball, yes there were a couple of pass interference calls that helped. You can't expect Madu-Jules to get 150 or 200 yards all the time because the other teams know what's coming at them.
