To Steve Silver,
You really think Boulder City can hold Truckee to 31 points? Truckee is averaging 49 points a game, and nearly 59 in their last 3 games.
Truckee's defense alone has outscored their opponents total points this season.

Truckee has given up a total of 3 points in their last 4 games. Those 3 points came from Spring Creek on a field goal as time expired.
The most they have given up all season was 15, in Week 1 at Bishop, CA. The only other team to score double digits against Truckee was Lowry, in a 63-12 Wolverine victory.
Congratulations to Boulder City for making it to the semi-finals for the first time in a long time.
Your first round win over Virgin Valley last week was your season highlight, and now your season will come to an end at Truckee on Saturday.

Congratulations to the Moapa Valley Pirates. That was one well executed game plan. Coach Lewis clearly played down the speed of your team.
We, (the multitude of Truckee fans that trekked the 485 miles), were definitely surprised by the speed and athleticism of your team. I know our Coaching staff and players were not, as they had seen film.
Naturally, we were thrilled when Ryan Macken answered back on one play, galloping 88 yards to tie the score at 7-7.
The only thing I could think, was this is not going to be the low scoring defensive battle that had been hyped.
At least until the second half, when neither team scored.
Arbor View was an excellent facility, and the Moapa fans and players that I encountered were gracious, humble, and helpful.
See you next year, either in the semis, or the Final.

Melissa,
You are right, Truckee and Moapa Valley is going to be one heck of a football game. Both teams have hard hitting defenses. Truckee will not be overlooking the Pirates, as Virgin Valley overlooked Truckee.

I would like to thank both of you for totally "dissing" Truckee this year.

I guess "swhale" was right, the worst part about playing at Truckee, will be the LONG bus ride home...after a total domination by the Wolverines.
Virgin Valley only got on the board by calling a timeout with 14 seconds left in the game, while Truckee's JV call ups were in, getting some reps.
They started coming in late in the third quarter, while Truckee was up 35-0. The "Dawgs" finally scored with 3 seconds left in the game, and they still had their entire first string in the game, rather than letting some other players see some action.
