Ray Brewer and tuasdad, Nice to meet you both in person at the game. To the other Gorman parents and fans I spoke with, nice to meet you all as well.
Congratulations to BG on an outstanding season.

@lvfootballfun, don't worry, no way your posts could be confused with "nvfootball...."

nvfootballfan, I was not comparing Truckee to 4A schools, I was comparing style of play. What one team will do in order to win, when they are not expected to win. Reed is not expected to win, so they will pull out all stops, try trick plays, etc.
"Little ole Fallon" averaged approximately 30-40 lbs. more than Truckee on the lines, and they tried everything they cold to win. Fallon is well coached, and not the "Little Old Fallon" of old.
@tuasdad, thanks for sending over your #, I will text you mine so we can connect at the game.

Upper 30's at kickoff, sunny, no chance of "precip".
Winds the last couple of days have produced 4 to 5 foot waves on Lake Tahoe, and there are people SURFING...
Yes, SURFING on Lake Tahoe.
Winds are supposed to be light on Saturday. A beautiful day for football.
No sideline heaters necessary... <grin>

Several "New" stories up on the RGJ.com web site.
One is about betting on high school football, and the other is the RGJ's take on "the game".

tuasdad, I have not seen them play in person. Just seen highlights. I was surprised how bad they beat both Carson and McQueen this season. McQueen is obviously having a down year, but I thought Carson would have put up more of a fight.
They "appear" to be much better than the 2009 version, that BG killed in the Semi's. (I was at that game.)
I do know they play well on Defense, but obviously have not faced a "team" like BG.
Carson was not the same team without Sawyers, (while he was injured), but he was a non factor in their game with Reed.
I don't believe Reed can hang with Gorman, but I suspect they will throw everything they can at Gorman, including the kitchen sink...
Reed is also apparently quite good on Special Teams.
That being said, if a defense puts pressure on the QB, and forces him out of his comfort zone....bad things can happen.
Teams will throw everything at your team, when you are a winning program. We see EVERYTHING, thrown at Truckee. Fallon "was" a running team, but teams cannot run on Truckee, so they came in with a 4 wide receiver set. It worked initially, but then Truckee adjusted. (Truckee was also missing their All State MLB in that first Fallon game.)
I wouldn't be surprised to see Reed match Gorman score for score until half way through the 2nd quarter, but Gorman's size will take a toll on the Reed lines, and the game will shift.
Reed QB will have to spread the ball around and get rid of it quick...
Hopefully, it is NOT more than a two TD differential, but Reed will have to have a LOT go right for that to happen.
The only team they lost to, Granite Bay, in Week 1, is still playing in Cali. Granite Bay has only two losses on the season, to Vacaville and Del Oro. BOTH of those teams are still playing.
Reed only lost by 1 score to Granite Bay.
Hopefully, we all get to see a game that is still competitive in the 4th quarter.

tuasdad,
Well, 50 degrees may be "cold enough" for the peacoat.
<grin>
There will be plenty of seating for that few fans. ;)

I suppose my Red "Truckee Football" baseball cap, and Black "101.5 FM" radio jacket will stand out among all of the Blue from both teams' fans.
Aloha

FYI, Damonte Ranch high school is the newest, and nicest high school facility in the North. The 3A, 2A, and 1A championship games were scheduled to be there, but were moved to Fernley...due to the Caughlin Fire in Reno. Talk about OUCH.... Not nearly enough room for the fans, including the visiting fans side of the field from down South. Sad, but one had to be empathetic to the fire victims.
Two years ago, when they were held at Damonte Ranch, they still didn't have enough seats for the Truckee fans. There was a HUGE turnout. I don't know how many Damonte Ranch seats, but it was not enough, and it will not be enough on Saturday.
That being said, the field is excellent, and there is plenty of room around the field.
@tuasdad, I will buy you that hot chocolate. : )
Weather will NOT be a factor, bring your Sunscreen.

For those of you that wonder why Truckee plays in Nevada, (along with South Tahoe, North Tahoe, Coleville and Needles.) MaxPreps wrote a nice "historical" story about Truckee. I put it up here for reference only, for those that may be curious.

Prepfollower, your MaxPreps rankings are not accurate.
MaxPreps has Centennial 7th.
Carson is ranked 12th, not 10th.
Perhaps you are only ranking the 4A schools, and not including the two 3A schools that affect your posted rankings...

Well, NO Surprise. Just as we all suspected, Bishop Gorman vs. Reed.
I must admit, I knew Reed would get past Carson, but I didn't see a blow out coming....
Reed 49
Carson 0
Wow...

<grin> Hey tuasdad, let me buy you beverage when you are up for the Bishop Gorman vs. Reed game.
