Extra Points

with Paul Tenorio and Matt Brooks

Thursday Throwdown

Published Thursday, November 20, 2008

Welcome back to the Thursday Throwdown, folks. We know you missed us yesterday when we skipped our Top Five for the first time since August, but with no movement and only our top three still standing, we figured it's time to focus on what we've got before us - two great matchups that will decide regional championships and state semifinal spots. Today we'll take a closer look at Potomac Falls-Broad Run II by breaking down the matchups at the quarterback, running back, wide receiver and defensive positions. This might look pretty familiar to those of you who read us regularly since we essentially did the exact same thing before the first matchup on October 24. Well, it's a new day and we expect a different type of game Friday night - and Panther fans are certainly hoping for a different result than the 38-0 rout they witnessed in Week 9. Tenorio and I will alternate teams with each position and as always, we're just debating for the sake of argument. Let us know what you think in the polls below each matchup and the comments section below. I'll be front and center for this game tomorrow night and I'm looking forward to a good one.
