I knew Lee was talented and good enough to play with Appo and be in the game late, but the moment was slightly to big. Small differences in the game such as some overthrows late with open WR's, etc. But, that's part of the game. When the WR from Appo is open, the QB seizes the momentum and makes the play. Scruggs is special and you DO NOT beat him in a close game. Every time Lee punched (and man, they punched hard) a guy name Scruggs within 1 minute of gametime would do something to take the momentum back. He's done it for 3 years. You have to credit Doug Smith who had a team in the second half that looked totally different. That's due to adjustments at halftime and Doug Smith is your MVP. The differences/adjustments he made at halftime were GREATER than the adjustments that Lee made at halftime, and that was the difference.
Well done Appo on a 3peat and a great run. As for Lee, another vicious football team with tons of firepower and kids that left it all on the field. Lee has a solid coach and is going to be in the Class 2 final four mix year in and year out for a good run. Safe travels back home to all fans.
It's crazy to think the moment was too big for Lee because they lost the game. They lost the game because Appomattox scored more points in the end and was a better TEAM. I simply just don't understand people thinking that just because a team has more talent/athletes that means they should win. Riverheads had more talent today, but didn't last week. Lee had more talent that Riverheads last year and got beat by a lot.
You seemed to take some kind of offense last week when people were talking about the size of Poquoson and athletic ability. They played the way they did despite the talent disadvantage.
Not to take anything away from Robert E Lee, because they were the best team in this area, but the game I watched tonight, Appomattox was quite a bit better. Any kind of play is part of the game, but 2 of Lee scores came off of uncharacteristic plays, the muffed punt and the "punt" play.
And to say the moment was too big because the QB missed a couple passes. One, he was dead on most of his passes, and EVERY Quarterback misses throws. So I guess the moment was too big for Tom Brady when he missed Weller in the Super Bowl? He is only the best QB ever, and sure hasn't had moment too big in 5 other Super Bowls.
I think you said all this to make yourself look right about something. It's just like how a lot of your posts have gone. First last year when saying you never start something or call people names, then DO THAT.
Then the ridiculous stuff back and forth in the last week when saying you want the conversation to be about the 2 great teams playing today but keep saying things in the past and making fun of an entire group of people. At least you apologized to me for last year, but because of your fight with what 4 people you insult an entire group of people. And then try to say how good of a person you are.
But congratulations, you said Appomattox would win. You were right.
