CIF DIVISION I
SECTION CHAMPIONSHIPS
ROUND 1
POWAY Titans @ MIRA MESA Marauders
Poway @ Mira Mesa
This playoff game figures to be an even contest from the start. Both teams have top QBs and quality players...both are explosive on offense. In their final game, a losing effort to cross-town rivals Rancho Bernardo, the Titans threw up 47 points, only to loose 48-47.
We had similar scores against our common opponents: Torrey Pines (ranked #3 in the section) and La Costa Canyon (ranked #2 in the section).
Our home and away records are about the same, except Mira Mesa faired much better in league, although argumentatively Poway plays in the tougher Palomar league with all north county DI teams. Mira Mesa averages just over 27 points per game, while Poway just over 25.
Poway tends to throw about a 1/3 more than Mira Mesa and rush about half as much. Both teams have a cadre of fine receivers and running backs. Both have top TEs in Poway's #34 Ryan Deehan and Mira Mesa's #89 Chandler.
Poway has a state ranked defensive lineman #4 Nick Woods that Marauders #66 Alex Muckle and #51 Dionte Cooper will have to deal with.
Message: Both teams will go about this game in a ONE-GAME-AT-A-TIME fashion...there's no looking ahead to who we play next...you've got to concentrate on winning this game...or there is no next game.
Deciding Factors: Both teams can really put the ball up, and run it down the field...the deciding factor in this game may be which defense steps up and does the job...both teams also have a group of top quality guys that can "go on a tare" at any time, and turn this ballgame into a runaway for either team...then there's the unknown player who's filling in for an injured player, that just might find himself in this game...
