I haven't seen Seaside yet. I saw their skill players in 7 on 7 but that's it. That's why I said I don't think they have the same horses. I know that St. Joseph's had a left tackle that was 6'6" 310lbs and a right tackle that was 6'4" 275lbs, in addition to 3 pretty solid interior linemen that were agile enough to pull either way. I also know they had a full back that was 6'0" 235 lbs and could run. He was paired with a 6'3" 225lb QB who could run and throw pretty well. The ran a read option out of the spread. If Seaside can do that, then Palma is in deep hot again. As I said, I don't think Seaside has those horses because no one is talking about them, but I have not seen them yet. I'm not minimizing Seaside in the least. What I said was "This game is a lot closer now than it was going to be Thursday." Am I wrong?
Ok; just for the sake of friendly pregame banter, here you go:

Seaside's Stable includes and is not limited to:
OG/DT/CCS Wrestling Heavyweight Champion Big Jon Tuiolosega- 6'3 290+..  Hildev Manzur and Tuiolosega are quite familiar with each other.
LT Kasey Cole- 6'7 290
DT David Mapusoa- 6'1" 285
DE Tino Tautolo- 6'2 270
RB/LB Matt Lualemana 5'10 220..  Finally healthy for football season and he's playing like it.  Ask Fabiano Hale......
QB/S Michael Turner 6'5 205...  Mikey is a very physical kid, and it's no secret that he can put up big numbers offensively. He is also a very effective defensive player when needed.
WR/DB Ronnie Turner  6'5 185...  Seaside best all around athlete IMO
WR/DB Jelahny Garnette 6'3 185
WR Mario Cook 6'3 185
Slot/DB/Horse Joseph Jakubowski 5'8 165.. Ok Joe is pretty small physically, but we all know he's a returning two-time All County player with the ability to make huge plays. He's the heart of the Spartans.

I'm not just listing the biggest kids off of the roster.  These kids are the horses that nobody's talking about.

I know Coach Carnazzo will be getting his boys up for this game.  They are preparing for a battle, because they know regardless of records Seaside will come in and play a very physical game like they do every year.  The difference is; they (Palma coaching staff) know that Seaside does have the horses this year to win the game.
Seaside won't be coming into this game to try to make it close, and Palma knows it.
