Good but completely different style team than last year. Offensively only averaging 3 points a game less than last year but much heavier with the run game and play action. Colin Metzger is back at RB and averaging about 130 yards a game while being pulled in the 2nd half of 4-5 games. 2 junior tight ends are playing really well too which gives high school teams all kinds of problems
The defense this year has been lights out, probably the best Grove defense since the state championship in 2003. They're only giving up 6.9 points per game through 11 games so far, 3 out of the last 5 games have been shutouts and they've only allowed 14 points since week 6. Through 11 games last year they gave up 20 some points a game. Special teams have been incredible too with Rece Verhoff back as a senior. Grove's average starting field position is their own 43 yard line and opponents is their own 25.
The next 3 weeks will be fun, I think Grove handles Liberty Center - I don't think their offense is good enough to move the ball effectively on Grove. If they can get up by 2 possessions they can win against anyone by suffocating them with special teams and defense.
