Monkey Wrench

When you have single A talent around you, it brings things back to reality.

Childs Play!

Ill post what I have posted probably a dozen other times. The reason CA started having success is because they started the youth football league. I played at CA (graduated in 2009) and a lot of our first experiences with real football was in 7th grade. Around 2013 is when the kids who all started youth football started to get into high school (somewhere around here at least). I am not taking anything away from Landsdell, he seems to be a great coach - but he came into a program with kids who had been playing together since they were in elementary school - which makes his job significantly easier.

I would hope both teams aren't suprised if they win, or if they lose. In reality these are 2 very good teams who in all honestly did not play a great 1st round of playoffs. Both teams are very capable, but both have shown some issues. Doesn't look like any rain tonight in Waverly - but I imagine the ground will still be wet, I wonder who that will effect more?

From my perspective, most CA fans are saying "if we play good, we can win" and most Waverly fans have already moved to the next round because this one is already over. So, assuming CA loses, I dont think they would be that suprised, just know they didnt play great. On the other hand, if Waverly loses there may be some mattresses burned in the streets.

CA turned it over like 5 times, several of which were in scoring distance. The score could have been worse, with that said, you turn the ball over 5 times again and you are in for a bad time.

1.) I would guess revenge is more of a fan thing than a player thing, tbh, if i was a coach I wouldn't want my team to come out looking for 'revenge' thats how you play emotionally and lose your cool and give up giant plays, I have seen it happen too many times. 2.) If Waverly can stop CA's run, then I would suspect that they will win relatively big, CA has not shown they can throw the ball ever since their starting QB went down several weeks ago. This isn't to say they can't, but it hasn't looked great from what I have seen. I don't think Waverly can stop CA's run, but if they can limit the amount of big plays, and stop them inside the redzone that will probably win them the game, as FGs are likely to not win this. 3.) I do not think Waverly will put up anywhere close to 40+ points on the CA team. The only way I can see this happen is if CA can't run the ball and gets frustrated and gives up. I have not seen this CA team give up, so I dont think that will happen. 4.) I have not seen Waverly play this year, so this post is literally generic, and meaningless just like 95% of every other post in this thread.

sarcasm is hard.

I had actually heard rumors that they were watching Waverly game footage from around week 3 onward last year; didn't actually know if it was true. I am glad you cleared that one up.

My guess is, Ca's full potential is magnitudes better than Waverlys. WIth that said, my faith in seeing that full potential is low ha

I wrote something similar in the other thread, but if CA turns it over 5 times, its gonna be a blowout in Waverlys favor. CA's defense looked really good, minus the first drive of the game. We shall see how it goes. Davidson broke 300 against HC and CAs overall rushing yards were > 400

To summarize this game: Hickman county scores on a 50+ yard run on one of the first plays of the game. Other than that didnt really do anything, CA's defense looked really solid. Ca's offense, overall, looked bad. Lots of turnovers (5), and the inability to throw the ball may eventually be their downfall. The running game, like always was great. Davidson broke 4,000 career rushing yards, and had ~305 rushing yards, with CAs overall rushing yards > 400. The keys to beating CA is clearly to just force them to throw the ball at this point. Also, if you can't stop CA's run it will be very tough to beat them, CA has a plethora of backs. Looking at next week, Waverly giving up quite a few points to Forrest who, in my opinion has very little offense capabilities. May be a shootout. If CA turns it over like this next week it will be a blowout in Waverly's favor.

he broke that like early in the 3rd quarter ( I am watching the game online and they commented on that).

I dont have a problem with that last call in the redzone, this game isnt near as close as the score would suggest, and they are going to need to be able to throw those short yardage eventually. I am confused why they are just taking Davidson out at like 5 min, he's probably 90% of the offense, no reason even taking a little chance of him getting hurt.

CA is superrrr one dimensional. They win this game easy, but anytime they have to throw, its up in the air whether or not it will be an interception or not.

It's my understanding cornersville isn't bottom of the barrel anymore

I still exist, I just dont really ever go to the games, and occasionally will watch them online so most of what I have to say, is more worthless than it used to be ha.

and Greenman.

The whole fleet of Collinwood folk that seemed to all have disappeared.

if you are talking about the AP poll, probably so - but people making polls on here know about as much as the poll voters... This is almost certainly not a poll, but algorithmically determined based on w/l and w/l of opponents.

It's almost certainly some modified version of Elo. heres you something to read up on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system

As a former student athlete at Columbia Academy, I certainly had no one offer to pay my tuition. Of all my friends who were student athletes, none of them had their tuition paid. The people who switched from other schools, they didn't get their tuition paid. The majority of the good athletes at CA now, are siblings of people I went to high school with, I remember a lot these athletes now when they were running around at CA's elementary school. At this point, I have been graduated for close to 10 years, and to be honest, I wouldn't have a problem saying if i knew we recruiting, if I believed we were. Could things have changed? sure, but I doubt it just from what I said above.

nfhs network has it streamed, It is a membership site though; I believe it is 9.99 a month. I have watched a few there it has been good quality when they have broadcasted from CA. (the announcers are from CA, so it is biased.)

The last play he was way outside the pocket if I recall, and becomes a runner, and roughing the passer becomes much more difficult to call. It wasn't even roughing the passer, in my opinion. he got hit as he was releasing the ball.

It's actually likely one of the reasons that TN has such a hard time getting a good coach, Tennessee just doesnt have the talent that the other states have, so makes it harder to recruit.
