    Doing stats my junior year, I had marked down plays going for big yards in the 4 gap. Soon as the coaches knew this, next play, TD. Even students can notice stuff.

    P4: Gil and coaches are hauled away in handcuffs after the district’s IT man finds out that they’ve been watching grainy video of Molly Kinsella changing out of her cardboard bikini …

    I don’t like the implied threat — if Gil doesn’t get her out of biology, she won’t share her insights. I never heard of such an arrangement, anyway. No coach I ever had could have gotten me out of a class I was supposed to be at. Or if they could, they would never have considered it.

    Let’s hope the “there it is again” play is a defensive player running roughshod over Heather and getting to the QB.

    My bet is Hakeem has a tell that gives it away every time he’s going to pass, better get Pelwecki in there instead.

    Truly deficient exit sign on the wall in P1. I doubt Gil can find the way out of his own office. Good thing Mimi has Pedro to keep her company.

    Next week, Gil excuses Heather from gym class so she can correct her biology teacher’s misconceptions about amoebas.

    I’d say Heather deserves a “Heather” mug for her work today.

    In all reality , P 1 to save money no door was installed on Gil’s office so any disgruntled fan or deranged student can enter at anytime thus the È emergency panic alarm button on the wall . Gil and staff watching game film on à microfilm reader .

    So Gil and Kaz don’t have a class to teach that hour? Oh wait.

    No joke guys. A woman, Natalie Randolph, became head coach of Washington DC’s Coolidge High’s (boys) football team and took the team to the playoffs one year.

    Heather attempts to explain catenaccio to Gil. (soccer joke).

    Nice drawing of Heather’s right hand in P2.

    Where is the most important assistant coach, Steve Boone? P2- Afterall, Heather is sharing a handful of information.

    So Heather just became aware of whatever she’s showing them on the film while thinking about the game in P2 yesterday? For this to make any sense at all (ha) it has to have something to do with her.

    P3: Gil is fuming. Once again, he is shown up, this time, by a student. “Don’t you know how big my viewship is?”, he was heard muttering.

    This is all interconnected, as Heather has inside information about the AP Biology class at Tilden. They have been working on a smothering germ warfare agent. They obviously released it during the game, much to the detriment of the Mudlarks.

    Apparently these knuckleheads need a benchwarmer to show them what happened

    It looks like Heather’s horribly deformed right hand clawing the door frame in P1 might be attached to her wrist backwards.

    Thing makes a cameo in P2.

    So all of these “smart guys” are getting schooled by the 150 lb. 3rd string female tight end. Former State Champion Coach Gil hates being shown up. Looks like heather might be Coach of the Year in The Valley.

    Looks like Heather just found the hidden shower tapes as the horrified coaching staff watch the screen in horror. The Dear Superintendent will not be pleased with this at all. Heather’s gonna make a bundle off of these guys to keep quiet about this.

    @The Brown Starfish: P-1 reminded me of Maxwell Smart’s arch enemy “The Craw”! P-2: Bruce Lee threatens the monitor with his blade hand of death. P-3: Yes, there it is again, someone actually has a football out there! No wonder we got clobbered the week after a gulley wash, by cracky!

    Hey Sign Man, I know you haven’t been getting your props lately, but nice job on the “E” in P1.

    Yeah, I’m going with kdizzle’s guess that Hakeem is tipping off when a pass play is coming. Although not sure how she detected that while thinking about the game at home. And the only time she could go over this with Gil is during her AP class? It’s good to know what takes the highest priority at Milford. And speaking of priorities, you should make it a priority to read today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

    How many people does it take to figure out that the offensive line stunk?

    …I think we sometimes forget how utterly preposterous these story lines are….what would Dr. Pearl do if she found out that recent STATE CHAMP Gil and staff gave a student a pass to cut class to teach the STATE CHAMP football staff how to do their jobs? Where is Wildcat?

    Plus, as pointed out, Steve Boone is apparently being kept at arms length from this golden insight, that’s a slap on the wrist…singular.

    (Mop, noticed you used my pic without my express written endorsement…thanks!)

    It’s a ^&$# weekend weather wise so I don’t have anything better to do. Heather should soon be nominated for MVP and as the only female/ asst. trainer/3rd string tight end ever to even be considered she’ll lose out to one of the Darwins when two bloggers don’t even list her on their ballots. Sigh, she’s young.

    It’s the Thorp kids. They are in the stands signaling the Milford plays to the other teams. It’s the only way they can get back at State Champ Coach Gil Thorp. Heather noticed them while laying flat on back her and looking up at the bleachers on one of her blocking assignments.

    NC HS “playdowns” started last night. They’re actually a week later than normal because hurricane Matthew messed up the eastern schools schedules so bad. They had to add an extra week to the regular season to get all the games in.
