Taegu American's Friday night 36-0 shellacking of Osan American in effect put Robert D. Edgren on notice: The Warriors do have an offense.

Try 384 yards' worth, on the ground alone. Angel Hickman 205 of them, Antonio Harris 123 of them, with two touchdowns each. Trey Griffin and Brandon Harris each contributed a rushing touchdown.

That compares favourably with Edgren's multiple-skills position package. Andrew Blankenship and Josh McDonald are more straight-ahead runners than anything, but you talk about a sweet complement for the ever-shifty, ever-dangerous Jacque Moton and "that guy," Zach Latimore.

But lest we forget, Taegu has allowed just nine points in its last four games.

Yes, Taegu will have its hands full keeping Latimore and Moton in check. "They're playmakers. You'd better know where they are on the field at all times," coach Chris Waite told me earlier this season.

Likewise, Edgren better keep its watchful peepers on the likes of Harris and Hickman. Pick your poison. Ornauer still goes with the defending champion Eagles 17-15 as his pick.

I'm sure Guam High coach Brandon Miller would love a tip or two from Taegu coach Ken Walter about how to get an offense to fire on all cylinders. Miller's Panthers proved their defensive worth, holding Father Duenas Memorial to eight points, a season low. But the Friars didn't permit Guam High past its own 49-yard line.

You can bet the Zama American Trojans can't wait for the start of two-a-day practices Aug. 11, 2008. Ending the season by spoiling Nile C. Kinnick's homecoming will do that to a team, not to mention finishing 4-4, Zama's best ledger since going 7-3 in 2003.
