I don't know if I'd call 52 rushes for 134-yds. moving it up and down the field last year....but they are a tough team.
Louisa/EV was talked about almost a week ago buddy...and no hatred, just hyping the rivalry. I hope Dinwiddie visits Mineral this year, they would be fired up.
It was, kind of. Lots of penalties that had big impacts. Wish it could just been settled by the kids. I posted my thoughts on the game in a different thread.
The team with no defense held Courtland to 3 points after the first drive all the way until the 4th quarter when Hanlon exploded. It was a great game to watch. Courtlands discipline and turnovers really hurt them. They certainly didn’t give up 40+ points like people predicted.
Saw him at the 7 on 7 this year and he can throw the ball well. Saw him play once this year and he’s a tough as nails runner. Different than Lowry as a runner but he’s got skills.
Assuming the defense caused the fumbles?
They did nothing offensively after the first drive all the way until the 4th quarter when a few big runs by Hanlon happened. Exactly as I said earlier. Absolutely no threat offensively for essentially 3 quarters in the game.
And the game winning interception. But that probably happened because all the superstars were out and the transfers didn’t play. Building for the future. You know the drill
@FoxesPride I was at the KG/Chancellor game. I picked a good one! Just wish I didn't miss the Spotsy/Courtland game.
I respect what your saying, my frustration was that KG outgained Chancellor and ended up with 170 yards in penalties. If we hadn't returned a KO for a TD and recovered a fumble in the endzone for a TD we probably would have outgained Chancellor by 150 yards. Most of the penalties were probably legit, I don't doubt that. Calling helmet to helmet on a LB in the B gap is ridiculous, and I'm all for player safety. Not calling an obvious pick play on the two point conversion decided the game. Our OT was called for unnecessary roughness for pushing down a DB with both hands (as they have to do now) before the whistle. Discipline is certainly an issue and needs to be addressed. My point in the other post was to advocate for those boys that work their butts off and rarely get respect on here. This is not "my" team ("my team" is Columbia HS in Lake City, FL and currently ranked 58th in the nation), I don't live vicariously through these kids ...something the other poster was mistaken about. In my opinion KG was the better team and the officials effected the outcome. KG definitely has work to do. #25 has been nursing an injury, not sure what. He has great hands and I think they have been tossing him the ball more than running him. I don't think they will win out except for EV. Spotsy and Courtland may challenge them, but I think Chancellor is ahead of those two.
If Chancellor doesn't snap the ball over the punters head and punts it, KG gets the ball around Chancellor's 40 and if they don't return the KO for a TD, KG could have certainly have scored so I don't understand the logic. Pretty sure special teams is still a part of football...Frank Beamer would agree.
Man.. little bitter on the loss but yet King George isn't your team? For the record, I have 6 teams. Hahah.. Youth football coach that gets paid by watching former players excel on Friday nights. I remember the "OL pushing the db down" way away from the ball when the db stopped as the play was over and no where near the ball. That is called 99% of the time. Just not smart. Special teams created a big momentum swing and why special teams is so important. It kept KG in the game. That is a good thing btw. They didn't move the ball until the second half when they decided to run first against Chancellor's 3-4 defense. Something KG should do more of next week against W&L. Good luck in the game.
Thanks, the only thing I will say about the OL was he was down field with his back to the play and doing what he is coached to do...he didn't know where the ball was and the whistle hadn't been blown. I understand player safety, but I think that came down to 320lbs vs 150lbs and it looked bad. I honestly don't take it personal...I am bitter, but it's all about the young men, not me.
I will tell you this. Caroline is tougher than you might think. Courtland will/should win this game this week, but I don't think it will be a push-over. Unfortunately Caroline will be without their starting QB who got ejected on Friday night against EV. When that team takes the field, the "eye-test" tells you they look smaller than a JV team, but they play very tough. The new coach there just may be able to turn that thing around.
I was impressed with their effort last year. They played tough as hell for a team that was outmanned and hadn't experienced much success.
why would you have ch
lion that was impressive freshman or not. if he can work on his foot speed he will be awesome the rest of his time but even without that hes gonna make a huge difference on that team.
I will reserve judgement on EV until they play someone with a winning record. We know they are good, but how good? We won't know until they play King George. That should be their first game vs a team with a winning record. Louisa is a no brainer. They checked every box.. they are going to make a deep run in play-offs and maybe.. just maybe this area will have?! Nope, I won't say it. No jinx here.
Louisa has 1 game on their schedule that makes it tougher than EV's....Massaponax. Great win for them. Here's a question...is it better to have your schedule tougher during the first few games of the season, or the last few games of the season? Louisa's tough games all came the first few weeks. The rest of the way is pretty much a cake-walk for them until the playoffs. EV has had a cake-walk so far. Their tougher games all came during the last few weeks of the season.
Well I already said it a few weeks ago, so you're good haha. Ponax is capable of doing the same in Class 6, especially if they stay healthy and get their best runner back before the Forge game. That O line is vicious every single play, no plays off. I hope to go to that Forge game and see how their pass defense handles QB Madden Lowe. He might be the best in the state this year.
Man you mention the field conditions a lot! I assume the conditions were the same on EVs side? Give it a rest. We get your implication...even if a sloppy field probably hindered EV more.
