Playoffs and Stats

I love this time of year. As a number cruncher and analyst by trade (i.e. "day job") I enjoy very much figuring out all the scenarios that go into the playoff hunt.

Rather than get in all the details, it's safe to say that a Johnstown win clinches the first seed in the 6-AAA playoffs. The other scenario that is favorable to JHS is if both the Trojans and Huntingdon lose Friday night. I'd never wish for a loss obviously, however, if the Trojans do fall to the Rangers AND Huntingdon loses to Philipsburg-Osceola, it appears that bonus points and the 10 point lead JHS has going into the week will be enough for the Trojans to hold on to the top spot.

Not only is hosting a first round game at Trojan Stadium a huge deal (we've mentioned that before) but the difference between playing Indian Valley (or Bellefonte) versus playing Hollidaysburg in the first round is HUGE. 1-2-3 are tight but there is a considerable drop off after that.

Now for some stats.

Brandon Hody has passed for 901 yards and is 6th in the LHAC. I'd look for him to surpass the 1,000-yard mark this week.

Antwuan Reed has 1,261 rushing yards which not only leads the LHAC but is ninth in the state.
Demetrius Young (417) and Adonis Jackson (325) are the 5th and 11th WRs in the conference.
Reed's 86 points are third in the LHAC.

Aaron Brezovic's 75 tackles are 7th in the LHAC while he is tied for the lead with Mitch Blackwell of Central Cambria for the league lead in sacks with 11.5. Brez and Blackwell's numbers are good enough for a tie for second in the state in the sack column.
