Pitburg s gotta run pm. They be got to make Hahn defense work hard. Hahn has a Good secondary but of Pitburg runs and nukes that secondary suck up their quarterback can do his thing and bit Short passes.

Nothing three Hahn backers Call the game this Way Torrejon s Jim Kirksey Pitburg runs Freddie right Freddie left Freddie up the Middle. They Don t pass that much. And if Hahn defends against Harp they Llwin. Freddie s a Good Back bul he s Fumble prone. Then again when the going got Tough last week he Gotbetter. Hahn can pass and run. Ramstein quarterback Jeff Wilson proved that you can move the Ball against Pitburg by Sembach s Jack Bornhoft after picking Pitburg Al year Long i be changed my mind. I m impressed the Way Hahn beat Torreon. I m impressed with thei defense their linebackers. They can Stop Freddie. Hahn s secondary can outrun him. If he Breaks to the outside he s usually gone. But they can outrun him. "1 see Hahn 26, Tilburg 12. I Don t think bit Burgan kick an extra Point. Quarterback Mark Van Winkle will Cany Hahn All the s Gerry Jenkins Hahn s too balanced. Pitburg s Good but Freddie can be stopped. If Fred die s stopped Harp won t kill you from the receiver spot. If Leo ached Hahn i d assign a linebacker to i 1-er. Wherever he goes the linebacker goes. If he runs to the bleachers my linebacker would go there.,extra Points the s4s player of the week goes to Tilburg s Miller. His 46 carries for 152 Yards and a touchdown burned Ramstein. On the .
