Lock said GHS will need to improve at throwing the ball, running the ball, ball security and finishing off blocks. Facing St. Michaels will give GHS a chance to evaluate its secondary a lot. St. Michaels runs a spread offense and they throw the ball almost every down, Lock said. In last years scrimmage, both teams scored three touchdowns.
