Just curious……….

Out coached? Adjustments? It looked like to me both teams did what they have done all year. Nothing unusual by either team. Hampton blocked TC better than TC blocked Hampton. Play calling doesn’t matter as much as kids executing the call no matter the offense. Execution can make any call look good. 
 

Change from the Wing-T offense? TC has been to the semifinals the last 4 yrs. Why change? If TC blocks a just a little better they win. That has nothing to do with them being in the spread, I-formation or Wing-T. You still have to block in any scheme. I love the spread but  TC doesn’t have the kids to run it. And just because they have speed doesn’t mean they can or should. Or just because a kid can throw the ball doesn’t mean he should be in the shotgun. There is a lot of good passing plays from the Wing-T. TC just hasn’t been able run them. 

Byvoutcoached I was referring to the adjustment Hampton made in the 4th quarter. Blake did nothing wrong. TC just couldn't move the ball in the 4th quarter I don't think we even got a first down in the 4th. But the game changed when #99 for TC was injured and didn't play in the 4th. It's no secret once Kobyn was out for the season the passing game went with him. Next year TC won't have the backs to run a wing t next season. The spread is also a version of the wing t same principals just have wingbacks out wide in slots. That's basically what Waggoner and Creasy run. The Wing t can be run out of many formations. You are right the blocking wasn't good and Hampton kids made the plays on defense.

Glad you enjoyed it! We love these boys

Thanks pal, TC was dang good! Best coached 2.5 minutes of HA football I've ever seen. When #4 gets home, taking that sucker to eat whatever he wants! Lol

He deserves two big 20 oz steaks. By the way I really enjoyed watching the game in Hampton I love how you’ll go all out for your team with fireworks and cannon. Also great sight lines on the away side I love that you’ll don’t have a track around the field and that you can actually see from one side of the field to the other. I also loved you'll boys picking up the TC players after the game and also some of your students and fans telling the TC kids great game.

Congratulations Hampton hope you’ll win it all. The better team won Hampton out played and out coached TC. Great adjustments in the 4th Hampton my hats off to you’ll. Hopefully this opens TC coach staff that we need to change out of this wing t offense.  But TC will be back next year with a healthy starting QB don't know how good we will be but we will see.

As has Hampton faced...I was referring to TC's speed in that post...TC will load the box and great speed won't be as big a factor in there Lol 

My bad! Oh, I know you'll have. I didn't think we have seen a deep safety all year lol im sure you'll haven't either. TC uses speed on defense too but we do have a decent size inline on both sides not as big as Hampton. But we have the same 11 on both sides of the ball for the most part so we will see Friday night. Also, I like you'll uniforms.

I was there in 05.  I know what kind of folks you guys are...I know the script too.  You acting like it's a honor just to be here, but we know deep down you guys have just as good as a shot at the Ship as any of the top 3 left.  Trust me, TC has it's eyes locked in on Hampton and not taking them lightly.  We are looking for a battle and expect nothing less.  

Exactly they are taking a page out of TC playbook with we are just happy to be here and we will give it our best.

Won't have to be too quick. 11 in the box don't need great speed Lol

TC has been playing against 11 in the box in every game. Still will have to deal with the speed of #3 if the hussle gets outside and to the second level, he is gone that also goes for 5,8,2and 6. The team's all year have run blitz TC from the outside and A and B gaps all year.

Hopefully we'll be ready. We may be a bit quicker than we look. Hopefully a lot quicker

I give it to Hampton. You'll we're by far the better team in the game last Friday. I love the double fullbacks. Hampton reminds me of Smith Co with size and power run game.

Y Yea! Gotta have a wrinkle here and there...Just none of that forward passing from you all Lol

Lol, you won't see a lot of that from us. If our starting QB wasn't out for the season you may see a few passes Friday night.

I've always found that, if you try to change who you are at this point, it usually doesn't work out too well 

TC has changed what it does on offense a few times in the semi over the years based on what the other team does. Against Meigs a few years ago at home TC cane out in a 5 wide set and caused Meigs all types of problems. Hampton will see a wrinkle or two that they haven't seen on film all year from TC.

Shoot well give it a go anyway. 

I like the way you'll play. You know what you are good at and either you stop it aw run the ball down your throat the whole game. Our teams are a lot alike we may run the ball in different styles of offense. The game is played on the field, not paper or message boards. Whatever team doesn't turn the ball over wins. 

After watching the Hampton game last week I like TC chances. There will be a huge speed advantage for TC. Yes, Hampton is a big team up front but I watch the lineman miss blocks bec of the speed disadvantage. Plus I think the level TC is playing at right now is hard for anyone to compete with. If BC or Banks gets outside Hampton will have huge issues Friday night. 

Have even more respect for H2O after this game. I also loved how TC players were hugging the Watertown kids at the end and helping them off the ground with the disappointment of playing their last high school football game.

I don’t know why… I’ve almost kept their foot ball team stocked single handily for years… if you know what I mean!

 

I hear that my 7,8,9, and 10 year old batch was a really good three years for me…. I must’ve been eating really healthy then!

That’s a good one lol. One of the best comebacks ever lol.

 @TCRadioand @RTD:

The question was asked of me to why I thought H2O had a chance against TC seeing how we started the season, so I’m going to ask the same question to y’all. 
 

What changes have taken place over there in Hartsville in the last two weeks that makes y’all feel you’ll beat Watertown… seeing that 2 weeks ago  your coach was awful and the kids had quit on him!!!

 

I mean 2 weeks ago Blake was a horrible coach who had lost the respect from his players.

 

Now I’ve got my ideals ( you guys were wrong and a man that has taken his teams to the semis 3 yrs in a row… just may know what he is doing) but I would like to hear from y’all on why all of a sudden Blake is Coach Bryant and the kids are so inspired???

I have never said Blake was a bad coach I don’t think or feel that way. I said he made some mistakes. Also Blake said he had a sit down with the team and other coaches to discuss some issues and problems that were going on and they work it out. That TC team that H2O played weeks ago was not the TC team I had seen all year. Seems to me that TC has hit that switch and are back on track. TC is clicking on both sides of the bal. Whatever conversation the team had with Blake worked they are back playing hard and just something different about this TC team now. I was really p off with how that bye week was handled I know how dangerous Watertown is and will always be too TC.

As an outsider what exactly has Blake done to these people? I want to understand the hatred towards that man?

 Being fathered by Clint. I think he has done a great job of course he has made mistakes but just look at how the overall record.

I’m sure a lot of TC folk will change their tune about Blake and the program after the win tonight lol

Some of the issues TC people have with Blake is personal. I don't think if he wins 10 gold balls it still wouldn't change anything for those people. 

Meigs was what we thought they were a very good team. Like I said before speed kills and that was the defense and the two interceptions. But Meigs wow that's one bs with the actions of some of your players at end of the game. But I understand it's the last game for some of the kids but you don't pull crap like that until t end of the game. But Meigs defense was a very good defense the best I've seen all year. Also Meigs Qb is games and much respect to that kid. But the better team won tonight.

Took the words right out of my mouth

Seriously, H2O has beaten us the past 3 years to win region. It defies all logic to say that Blake wasn't taking them seriously and looking past them. C'mon now...comments like that does no good

His actions say otherwise. You give a team a week off before the biggest game of the year. What does that say? It's not because the team needs to rest some starters had not played since the Gordy game, not because of injuries but just to rest. The truth is the truth.

RTD you’re smarter than this!

I know I am I would never think that TC has the Watertown game in the bag. Blake felt that way he look past H2O. His actions showed that and I know for a fact that he felt he would beat Watertown with ease. But we all make a mistake im sure he won't do that again.

Well tell those eight starters enjoy that bus ride to Meigs County! Plus they should have known we improved because we wasn't scared to go play Baxter

Also, the HC was looking past Watertown too. He was more worried about not letting the peewee team play and messing up the field for his home playoff games.
