Amherst vs. EC Glass

Glass is battle-tested, Amherst far from it (opponents are 0-4, 0-5, 0-5, 3-2, 1-5). Not their fault but also can't be ignored. If Amherst can keep it close, who knows, but if Glass puts them on their heels from the get-go then I'm not sure Amherst will know how to respond well.
 
Well the Amherst have made it to mid season unbeaten and they have @wikki doing the "Lancer Strut". They have a tough one this Friday against the Hilltoppers. @lyhsports, @VolNation85, @catchtds , @BoKnowsSports, Wikki and anybody else have an opinion on this game. Who wins and why?
It's hard to say. Glass has a better strength of schedule thus far. Amherst averages more points on offense than Glass but Glass is giving up fewer points on defense than Amherst. It could come down to special teams play.

Amherst is young and has played teams with losing records but they have played with heart as well. They lost several key players to 3 other schools which hurts. We are so proud of them for what they have done on the field. They will be tested for sure, but as long as they get off on the wrong foot and contain Glass QB, it will be interesting. I know they are fired up. I believe they can win it as long as they keep the penalties under control. I'm not going to pick against them that's for sure
 
Do yall think it helps or hurts your team to dish out the injury report. #hippa
 
Single biggest takeaway from the Amherst V Glass tonight is that neither team will make it very far into region D playoffs without significant improvement.

(Final score was 24-7 but it was competitive for 48 minutes.)

I agree. I thought Glass played great defense, but their play calling was atrocious. Quit trying to be fancy and run the ball down their throats. It’s been working.

This happened against LB as well, that had rout written all over it until Glass went away from the pass.

Why do you say the Glass play calling was atrocious?

Just curious, what do you consider making it "far" in the region? You only need to win 2 games to make it to the Region Championship. Also, which teams do you have making it "far?"
 
Amherst had their first touchdown called back and that hurt. Overall, Amherst played very well against Glass considering the players they have lost and with their star running back out.

Not sticking to the run or the pass when its working. Just felt like better calls could have been made on 1st and second down. Like I said, getting in that big formation and running simple plays was working, run it until they stop it. But I'm also not a coach so I don't know whether they were trying to incorporate new plays. But the run first approach looks better than being greedy and trying to get big plays.

It's been a few weeks since I've been to a game, but Mosby looked great back at RB. #3 gotta get that ball more too!

Amherst is much improved from the past 2-3 years. They played hard.

Both should win their first round game depending on how the points settle and who gets matched up with who, but I don't think Amherst or Glass have anything for Salem or Louisa(especially impressed by the little bit I've seen of them) at this point. A lot can change over the next month but as improved as both Glass and Amherst are, I think Salem or Louisa would win by three scores easy if they played today.

Gothca. That's not crazy to say considering the fact that Louisa beat Glass by 3 scores last year and Salem was region champs last year.

Guys Amherst might not win another game but this will be the worst Amherst team in the next 5 years I expect..Watchout for Rustburg also next few years..Seminole will be very deep next few years..

I think they will beat Rustburg pretty convincingly this week and I wouldn't be surprised if they beat Heritage or Brookville, maybe both. They matchup well with Heritage and Brookville and neither of them have the speed on defense that Glass does. I see Amherst finishing 6-4 at worst this year, possibly 8-2.
