They’ve looked really good on defense up until the Hail Mary at the end of the half. Just given up bad field position on the other two scores. Very stout on the d line
I don’t see West losing this. Playing teams like Alcoa, Bearden, Maryville, and Powell 2x might make this game look a little easy like last years. But props to Page 3 years in a row going to state is something to be proud of.
Idk to me looked like 5 west players dragging and contorting the qbs body while Powell players stand and wait for the whistle. Didn’t see the penalty on tv just them standing around waiting on the refs.
I mean every team is going to be protective of their qb. If the refs isn’t going to call forward progress and let them drive the qb to the dirt the team will be pretty upset. Just my take west is the better team overall I’m not doubting that I hope they bring back a championship.
Powell had chances to get back in the game up until they tried to pick up a blocked punt and west ends up with the ball. Just the same mental errors on defense and having their key offensive players banged up most of the season hurt them.
The whole ejection thing started because the refs wouldn’t blow the whistle. Deuce was bottled up being pushed back but refs just let it go and he fumbles. Game was over at the point anyways but lethargic reffing.
Anyway the freshman qb for Powell has played plenty throughout the year. Probably more of a pocket passer and Deuce is more of a dual threat. Interested to see the direction Powell takes with 2 underclassman with qb1 potential next couple years.
I remember one of their better players having to retire in the middle of the season the year they lost to HC at state. Pretty sure they take it serious.
Oh I see it was the last play of the first quarter. Looks like they handed it off two times then threw the td pass after that play so he didn’t get touched again thankfully.. if it is a concussion. Hope he is alright he’s got a lot more football in his future.
