Most definitely if they don't ball control you all and score 7 at the end of the drive it may be a tough day. I mentioned #8 on offense at WR, but your RB looks pretty fast also. I just think the speed and athletes will eventually take over. BUT if you all turn the ball over it will be a closer game longer than expected.
Salem vs. Lake Taylor
- Thread starter GilliamRatings
- Start date
RB- was Region OPOY 217 carries 2005 yards 33 TD's rushing 9.3 YPC
Don't get me wrong 28 (Clayborne) is fast but I don't think he is 4.4 fast. 4.4 is a lot more rare than people think. People toss around forty times like the L word...I watched Grant Holloway (Grassfield High) run a 4.38 laser time at a camp back in the spring and I can tell you, while 28 from Salem is fast, he is nowhere near as fast as Holloway. We won't even compare him to La'vonta Taylor (Ocean Lakes) who ran a 4.28 laser time at the same camp. Wayne Davis was at the same camp but I didn't get to see him run his 40.
Vols I was just going by what was listed on the Hudl site, hopefully this doesn't spark the wrong type of posts.
Had to wait his turn in the offense he rushed for a little under 1,000 last year as Shiheem had 1500+ and Marcus Hawkins had 1100. He's being recruited by Hampton, Norfolk State, JMU, William and Mary, and a few others. He's come on strong for his senior season and the great thing is he's already qualified.
I also thought Salem ran ball too much last year at Liberty Stadium. In state championship game a team needs to come out throwing the ball. Loosen up the defense, then run it.
Lol, truth does hurt. just curious, which film are you guys talking about? I know LT probably has several games of film on Salem but I know JF was probably the fastest defense Salem faced and JF isn't exactly what you would call fast. Salem's regular season schedule was pretty weak. That's not to say that they are not a really good team because they are but, they didn't face much speed during the regular season.
Only film I have seen was Jefferson Forest and John Champe as those were the two games they traded.
Oh I know you were. Nothing against you at all. I was just trying to offer a little insight since I have seen him play in person several times. No offense taken.
Have you seen the two dudes LT have on the outside? That would be a tough task my friend.
I just went to each teams Hudl site and clicked on individual player highlights.
Lol, gotcha. They only "traded" two...I'm a coach too so I know how that goes.Only film I have seen was Jefferson Forest and John Champe as those were the two games they traded.
I could write a book on game films. I saw a team once adjust their whole game plan because they knew a future opponent was getting the tape.
I almost got locked up or thrown out of stadium for having a cam corner in stands once. AD and Sheriff acted as if I was a terrorist.

I'm not sure who you are talking about on defense. I don't think Salem has a #4 and #8 playing on defense this year. As for offense, I think the fast receiver you are talking about is #4 and not #8. The main players to watch film on for defense on Salem would be #7 Riley Fox and #36 Alex Ramsey. Deangelo Ramsey would have great highlights but I don't think he has made a hudl account.
He's referencing Lake Taylor not Salem. He made a mistake we have a #4 JT Wahee and #8 is Wayne Davis
@DEVILSLB99 correct me if I'm wrong but I think he was talking about the lack of speed on the opposing defenses that Salem has faced, not Salem itself
This is why I didn't want to say anything...I'm speaking of the kids Ramsey and Clayborne are running away from on the other teams defenses. Not trying to be funny stating facts. Some of those teams are unathletic and slow, I was surprised by how unathletic JF was on defense considering they have 2 good ones on offense. Night and day.
Ahh, that makes sense... thanks for the clarification.
Who replaced Quinerly on defense this year?
It's a trap! LT is actually going to go with two deep safeties (12 yards) and run Cover 2 all game.
jk...
But those same two players played JF defense too...it wasn't all about speed (quoting someone you know!) You are right that JF's defense wasn't as dynamic as their offense.
Yet another kid that's running away from players that are faster than Salem's opponents.
Speed kills...but strength punishes...which one will have the upper hand on Saturday?
Honestly if I am a Salem player, fan, coach, etc. I would be very excited about getting a second shot at the team that beat you out in the state championship the year before. I'd also still be feeling humble from the loss last year but confident with that chip on the shoulder that your team is going to come out and get the job done the second time around. That is why I am a little surprised to see a couple of Salem fans going with Lake Taylor, regardless of how much of a challenge they are as the reigning state champions... I'll give the credit for not being biased though! Golden opportunity for Salem to have a little shot at redemption here on Saturday.
I was wondering if you knew the Spartans were ranked #1 in Virginia by USA Today? LT is #8.
The one thing I do notice is that you make it look like Lake Taylor mistakes is the only way anybody can score...Show some respect to the other teams. I hope Salem wins by many!
Great to have hopes and dreams. That's what makes life so great. I hope I wake up tomorrow. I doubt any team allows another team to score. If you give up points a mistake was made somewhere.
Keyvone Bruton transferred to Lake Taylor from Oscar Smith this year.. He's another kid that can catch it and run away from most people.. Not to mention he's a stud on defense and very physical..
You are funny. Lol. I guess everybody gets a turn at the top. Salem is the favorite this year.
Salem is far from the favorite... If Vegas had this game LT would be a 2 TD favorite at minimum. #shocktheworld
