[clay9]

Just wondering if anyone knows who the Offensive and Defensive MVP's of the 5A game are?

 

Congratulations to Ravenwood on an outstanding year!

Becker #32 won some kind of Player of the Game award. I would bet that he won the Def MVP....and either Williams or jennings won the Offensive MVP. But they never said it?

It sure wasn't anybody from Oak Ridge. The got whipped all over the field, especially their line.

Thanks......both were VERY deserving of the honors. How many yds did Williams end the game with?

I just do not understand how ravenwood could have dominated so much. I am a ravenwood fan and i am wondering if all the OR posters were lying about how good they were. Somebody please inform me about how this happened!!!!

One word: Overrated.

[o21putt]

One last time, Oak Ridge got whipped in the o and d lines. That about sums it up. Has nothing to do with being overrated. They just did not come to play in that game. They beat some very good teams and lost to 2 very good teams.

Umm....if you don't come to play in a game, then the rating people have given you is over what it really is.

 

 

AKA-Overrated.

I just thing Ravenwood had something to play for by proving all the people that said they would never win wrong. It was just their season..and they owned

Just got finished reviewing the tape (DVR actually) so I might be able to shed some light. I was at the game and thought RHS O line must be holding like crazy to create the lanes they were running through.

 

After watching the game on TV (RHS offensive plays in slow-mo) I think I have your answer. The one thing that stood out from all other OR games I've watched this year was the lack of backside pursuit. RHS's O-line did a fabulous job of cut-blocking the backside. I'm not talking about illeagal blocks (though there were a couple of questionable combo blocks) but the ones where the O lineman got into the legs of the defensive lineman and either knocked him down or created a sizable cut back lane. I also don't remember so many traps and counters run by an opponent.

 

Another thing was all year OR used there Dbacks in run support, but by using the spread formation RHS took them out of the play before the ball was even snapped. Great scheme and execution.

 

RHS's defensive line didn't overpower OR's offensive line. They occupied OR's O-linemen which freed-up the linebackers. RHS was able to put a minimum of 8 men in the box for run support. All of OR's passes were to the outside of the field on fades and quick outs. I don't recall them throwing down the middle of the field at all. With no threat of getting beat with the pass, RHS just loaded the box and shot the gaps. Good job.

 

All year long OR was able to hit the pass over the middle to force the defense to respect the pass. I guess they quit trying because they weren't able to pick up the blitz and I only remember one attempted screen to a running back.

 

Good job to the RHS staff. Enjoy it, you earned it.

 

Looks like we now have another "R" team from middle Tennessee to overcome. In the words of the long-suffering Vanderbilt fans everywhere, "Wait 'till next year!"
