A pair of set victories might have given the Cardinals a false sense of complacency, one that the M-P-B Thunder was all to eager to exploit. When their backs were against the wall, the Thunder never said die, and rallied for a stirring 3-2 (21-25, 19-25, 25-18, 25-20, 15-13) victory to finish up the regular season for both teams ahead of their district tourn...

There's never a shortage of experts and predictions for fall football. New coaches and players are analyzed, armchair quarterbacks provide expert analysis of who will advance to the playoffs and Super Bowl even before the season kicks off.

But just because a population is up or down doesn't necessarily parallel "success" in the field. So, no matter what you may or...
