Really impressed with the job Higgins is doing right now at Science Hill. That’s a young team who had an awful season last year. He’s really turned them around in Year 2. He seems like a good guy and his players really seem to like him.
This board was littered with DB fans last year and the year before, and for good reason. They’ve all but totally disappeared this season. Not going to put it all on the coach but when you watch them play something seems off. His players do not seem to be enjoying playing for him for whatever reason.
Wouldn’t be so sure about SH once Carter is no longer there. The AD at SH has proven he’ll do what he likes. He did it with the hire of the boys basketball coach and again with the new cross country coach. He’s made it pretty clear lately he’ll hire who he wants regardless of what the community or those “in house” want.
Fastest kid on SH team didn’t even play last night. He’s their best WR and apparently got hurt Wednesday in practice. He’s got offers from Big 10 schools for track.
This is pretty much the same thing I saw. For a school as large as D-B and to have the athletes they have, they look slow on offense and defense. Their RB looked especially slow. Even the ESPN Tri-Cities guys made a few comments about it.
SH dominated on both sides of the ball for pretty much the entire game. The Indians don’t seem to have much of anything on offense. SH should’ve and probably could’ve run the ball all night if they’d wanted to. The Indians couldn’t stop Emile or Necessary. I’m really impressed with Emile. He’s gotten better as the season has gone on. Taylor had has worst game by far last night. He wasn’t playing well. Carter and co obviously noticed it and let Necessary and Emile take over at the end.
7-7 at the half
Can any of the SH fans tell me why Watson isn’t playing? He’s been the best WR for the Toppers this year and by the looks of it he isn’t playing tonight.
Yes. After the Maryville game they made him the starter. Offense has been clicking ever since and the team just looks a lot better since he took over. His name is Spencer Taylor and I believe he’s a junior.
Final
Hilltoppers-56
Governors-28
Looks like SH has decided to move on from the Swartz kid (who was the starter all of last season and the first 3 games of this season) at QB and has made #16 their new starter....
