Span Dahlem f6-4 hosts Pitburg 6-4 in saturday s other game. Matchup on sunday have Sembach 7-3 hosting Hahn 1-9 and Rhein main 64 hosting Lindsey. Games begin at noon. A we were in the same position in 1989 and �?~90,�?� said Boldin. A yet we have nothing to show for it. Each time we were beaten when it counted most a the  Boldin admitted he feels the pressure of being thought of As a coach who can twin the big game. A once you get a Label it Sticks with you. A Csc title is the Only Eraser for that Label. I often wonder if it is me and question my coaching ability to guide a team to a  Boldin said Little doubt exists this year and credits his team for a much different Outlook. A the team is very confident a he said. A this gives me a Good feeling because i know they believe in me. I think this is the year everyone will finally remember us As  How does a team that Hasni to lost since the second week of the season prepare for a one game Winner a it is Tough especially mentally a said Boldin. A however Oesterberg has shown the tendency to playing everyone Tough. Even though we beat them 35-0, they beat us up physically. A that is motivation enough for the team. In order to be champions we be got to stay intense no matter who we play or what their record  Pitburg is where Brenda performs her Job As librarian. However when it comes to Csc football her loyalty resides at Span Dahlem. And quite naturally. Brends is the wife of Spang Dahlem a head coach Dave Lockwood who will guide his sabers against the Barons of Pitburg.

A it not common to have one spouse at Pitburg and the other at Span Dahlem a said Lockwood. A that really adds to the hype of the game. I really expect Sparks to Fly this being a playoff  a third Quarter Kickoff return ignited the the sabers 16-13 Over the Barons last week earning a split for the season. A since we have to face the Wishbone i definitely feel its an advantage to face it Back to Back a said Lockwood. A this should help in our preparation for this weekends game. Otherwise Well just try and improve on several areas that need sharpening.�?�. One such area is the sabers run and shoot offence that fizzled against Pitburg last week. A we did no to do much shooting a said Lockwood. A passing Wise we completed Only 4 of 25 attempts along with two interceptions. It concerns me that we failed to control the Ball longer and take advantage of their mistakes. # a we must work their defense. They play Good assignment football and normally done to do things to beat themselves. Offensively they ran Well and surprised us by passing effectively out of the Wishbone. They weren to supposed to do  Lockwood feels his team is among the contenders for the conference Crown. A naturally you be got to give Ramstein the Edge at this Point. However Sembach is playing Tough and you can never predict How Rhein main will play. But i done to count us out from being in the thick of things until the  Rhein main on the other hand is the defending Csc Champion with a reputation for playing Well in the Post season. The Road to their fourth straight title goes through Lindsey. Lindsey has a history of whipping the rockets especially in crucial games. A Lindsey will Ahvay play us thought a said Rhein main offensive lineman Tim Langley. A they could be wingless and still they a play us As if there was no  Langley refused to speculate on his teams chances against the flyers. A i done to want to fire them up anymore than they already Are a he said. A one thing is for sure. They have our  Rhein main linebacker Jay Gregson carefully chose his words but he does t seem to have such a High respect for Lindsey. A they always do lots of talking a said Gregson who is among the conferences leading tacklers. A we owe them from the last time. We  have lost to them. We re the better team but we did no to play that  All is not Well with the rockets especially their offence. Both Langley and Gregson admitted that their weakness is scoring Points. A a we re awesome Between the 20s,�?� Langley said. A after that we can to seem to function. I can to put the blame on anyone but we re not function As a unit. We talk and discuss it a lot but that does no to Cut  a they know they be got work to do a added Gregson speaking about the rockets offence a a we be been coming up Short on that end of the stick for most of the season. There is a division and we re trying to Deal with it. A now that its for real we re More focused. Anyway we re the champs and will be until we re beaten a Gregson said. Meanwhile the playoffs no. 2 seed is Small base Semback. A we deserve the no. 2 seeding a said Sembach a coach Ken fears. A we started off slow but picked it up at the end. Offensively we jelled and our defense is finally healthy. Despite the recent Success fears Isnit taking Hahn lightly. A one at a time a he said. A Hahn has a Strong team but they be had problems. When they come to play As they will in the playoffs they Are a team to reckon with. A throw their record out the window. I expect them to Gamble both offensively and defensively. They have absolutely nothing to lose. A mets sign Torborg to their biggest manager pact Ever by Marty Noble new Day Pittsburgh a Jeff Torborg is a family Man in More ways than one.
