I love the passion the Somerset people have for their team but it looks as though the arrogance of the preseason threads is starting to show again. The best team doesn't always win as proof of last years game, you just have to get hot at the right time.

I don't think there was arrogance then or now. Just fans stating what they thought was possible for their team. I don't know anyone that doesn't think that NCC shouldn't be the favorite in this game, but just because Somerset fans don't want to rollover and play dead don't think of it as arrogance...just standing by our team.

Most of the pre-season talk and many of the predictions being made now are not being made by hometown Somerset fans, just fans from around the area showing support for another local team.

NCC is the Class of 2A, they IMO are the most complete team on both sides of the ball. Somerset needs to play their best and especially most consistent game of the season next week. NCC will probably be the third best team we have played this season, unfortunately for us we lost the other two.

I don't know anyone in this area that doesn't respect NCC for what they have done and accomplished over the years. If NCC fans continue to not respect Somerset that is fine, Respect is Earned not Given...if Somerset want's respect from up north they have to go and earn it.

Good Luck to both teams and I'll be pulling for the winner of this game either way in the finals.
