The youngins put up a healthy fight Thursday night but the offense just cant get it done. Turnover or 2 hurt us but even without those I do not think we score. Our offensive scheme has not produced but 1 TD so far. I just do not understand why coaches cannot see the problem when EVERYONE else in Maryville can. I really do not think its a numbers issue , it goes much higher than that. I guess the shadow is so large that it breeds some defiance.

neither of those young men are kin but I do know them very well.

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,

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

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?
