Delmar would have to beat Milford and then Woodbridge would have to beat Delmar the final week and the points fall out exactly for that to happen. Very, very unlikely.
Division 2 predictions
- Thread starter 2retsoorlil
- Start date
"Close" second? I've seen both since 7 years old and there is some space separating them.
I understand, I was just having a little fun with it. The key was at the end of my post. Just enjoy the next three weeks, it should be good football.
You really need to go watch a Delmar game. It's not about 1 or 2 players, it's about a team and a system. Think of it like when some of these colleges play Navy and Navy just runs the ball all day long on teams with bigger and stronger players. Delmar plays their system very well and makes other teams pay for their mistakes. They play very disciplined and smart football. There is a reason for all those championships they have, it's called coaching and talent. Delmar has both.
7nonstop, they did not have their 2nd team in, so don't try that. if Delmar played poly there would be a running clock in the 3rd quarter.time will tell vs milford and woodbridge. Delmar can pass and run. the QB that in that's playing now doing a great job, TD really nice pass last week and he is running the option real well.
What is making things so interesting this year, is there is no team that jumps off the screen at you and you say to yourself "There is nobody that is going to beat that team." That however, may change over the next few weeks........
While Delmar does run the option their go to on offense is the double dive. It's hard to defend because you don't know who has the ball. Add Delmar's speed and it makes it even harder to defend. I know I'm excited to see how these next 3 games play out.

Coach,
I've heard the term "Double Dive" used to describe two different types of rushing plays. The first is what LedgerSko described in his reply, which is simply diving both backs to opposite sides, giving one back the ball and using the opposite back to freeze the backside LB. We run this exact same play and we also call it a "Double Dive". It is best out of split backs, but you can run it from any two back set. It's also great if you know the LB's are cross-keying you.
The second "Double Dive" is what we refer to as a "Belly". This play can also be run out of any 2-RB look, and it is the best play in our rushing arsenal (along with the Iso, which we also run from any 2-RB look). Essentially, the design and purpose of the play is to attack 3 seperate points of attack with 3 different possible ballcarriers to the same side.
We use the following rules, no matter what alignment we are using in the backfield. The RB closest to the side we are running to (whether he is the ballcarrier or not) dives directly off the outside hip of the OL in front of him (it will generally be the center in the "I" or the OG if it is "offset I" or "splitbacks"). The QB opens to face playside and rides the ball in the first back's pouch like an option play. If it is a give, he simply gives him the ball. Meanwhile, the furthest back form the side we are running to (always the TB in the "I", but otherwise the furthest HB) will take a lateral timing step to playside, then drive hard to the off tackle hole. If the give was to the first back, the QB will ride a fake in the second back's pouch. If it is a give to the second back, he will pull the ball from the first back and ride the give to the second back as he attacks off tackle. The QB runs a keeper route to the same side, becoming the third possible threat.
A few great advantages to this play:
1. It puts the playside of the defense in a tremendous amount of conflict trying to determine who to tackle.
2. Each play can be blocked using multiple blocking schemes. You can base block it. You can run a midline trap to your first back if you are doing it out of the "I". You can "G" block the offtackle hole. You can loop a WB through and have him lead for the second back. The possibilities are endless.
3. It can be run out of many different backfield sets, so you can present multiple looks to a defense while still running the same play.
4. You can run it as an option or a "check with me" play, and give to the back that has the better chance of success based on defensive alignments or reactions.
5. You can design an entire series around it, including counters, traps, options, keepers, and playaction passes.
6. It's fairly easy for an offensive backfield to execute.
I (obviously) love this play, so I'm always available to talk about it. If you would like further details, please feel free to email me at lochness_23@hotmail.com
Good luck!

No one is saying Delmar is the team to beat. Just saying a lot of people are overlooking them. And I agree Delmar should roll Laurel. However, it's a big rivalry game and Laurel's senior night with a chance to ruin Delmar's season. Essentially, Laurel's "Super Bowl". I can promise you one thing though, Coach Hearn will not be looking past Laurel.
