weaklinks Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Well its that time of year and looks like the same old stuff from the sideline. MJHS fell to Grace Christian Academy 21 - 6 tuesday night. Grace has a good team and a new coach. The Rebels have some good looking players but some of them seem to be out of position. The temps were hot and the legs were gone after the half , there was no substitution until late in the fourth when it didnt matter. Not sure about the conditioning program over there , can anyone shed some light? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This 8th grade class isn't as experienced as we'd like to be and not many big guys. This will be a down year for sure, but I think this class will get better as the season goes on.

weaklinks Posted August 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 (edited) so you dont think that some subbing would have helped some of those starters? didnt say that there was anything wrong with the program or coaches. just an observation from an old grandpa Edited August 12, 2016 by weaklinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSamson7 Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 I'm not sure they have anyone to sub in this year that the coaches can feel confident about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarneySox2007 Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Love to see them play but don't have their schedule. Because of our towns pi** poor paper you never know when anyone plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REBELHELL Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 I would just interject that depth doesn't build itself. Maybe subbing a player or 2 in for a play or 2 here and there would make the difference down the road but then Im not the coach. The boys did look more relaxed last night and I believe it was because they had 1 game under their belts. They didnt get to scrimmage due to an out of the ordinary open house at school. I dont believe that the Admin is very friendly to the football team at MJHS but I could be wrong, I just dont see many mentions of the games in the daily announcements etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it as 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students there I think you had a better chance of getting the student body into the games. That said, the 9th graders are technically high schoolers and I highly doubt they want to attend a MS game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there 7th graders on the team and do they come from the other city schools to be a part of the team? I'm sort of out of the loop here.

JSamson7 Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Most of the 7th graders play for Don Sentell or Ricky Maples on 2 of the Maryville feeder programs. One name to watch for is Braden Anderson. Kid's going to be a stud if he keeps his head on straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are those on the Junior high or do they set at home and have to wait out a year. With all the red shirting that goes on anymore there would have to be kids in that category.

weaklinks Posted August 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Ok , old granpa here. I am sincerely not trying to belittle anyone coach or player but there are some things that need to be changed and its not that complicated. The Rebels could have beaten SC last night if the right player was Qb'n. #1 is an athlete and should be running and catching the ball. # 78 should be Qb'n , he can throw it on a wire and is tall and can see down field. #1 , #5 #21 and several others should be running and catching the ball for TDs all the time. #78 is wasted on the line. There are other players on the side line that can block. DEFENSE: Is pretty solid on the line and the ends and lbs are tough, The secondary needs to be worked with on coverages and playing like Maryville DBs , like LBs. The defense held a good SC team to 12 pts and were on the field alot. This is just some observation by an old granpa. If these things are not done it is my opinion that it will be a long season, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
