MBA vs. MUS

[Redtwin]

Howe tore his ACL and MCL vs. Trinity and is done for the year. Tompkins, a rb, backup qb, and db, injured his ankle in the preseason and is also likely done for the year. The players who have filled in have shown some promise thus far.

Let me follow that one...what sort of depth does MBA have? Traditionally, that's been something of an issue, given that the school has roughly 300 boys from which to build a team. How many players are there actually out there? Not that it's really indicative of anything, but the school's website posts a detailed schedule for all of its teams, and there is none listed for JV football.

 

 

I can help with this one. THe JV team just consists of Varsity players who don't play in the Varsity games. There's not a strict JV roster but it usually consists of the Varsity scout team players.

Depth shouldn't be a huge problem. Now, whether or not it is quality depth, I don't know yet. However, as RedTwin suggested, the guys taking Tompkins' and Howe's places have shown promise. As far as numbers go, I think there's roughly 80-90 guys on the varsity and that is excluiding freshmen, which have their own team. The MBA website, while very nice, doesn't always do a great job of posting up to date schedules or details on the teams.

I'm glad to see that they have good people to fill the gaps. I like to look in on the lower level teams at MBA, partly to see what's coming up, but more out of fondness: I played on the 7th, 8th, and 9th grade teams, at which time it became apparent that world (or at least District 11 AAA) had very little need for 120 lb. centers.

 

In my time there ('73-'79), JV football was an on again-off again thing. I'm glad to see that they still play 9th grade football. I think a lot of good players would get lost in the shuffle otherwise.

Who is going to take Howe's place at QB and what is the young man's background? Didn't the backup QB transfer to a Williamson County where he could get more playing time?

[thebears]

everyone is being ridiculous Mus has proven themselves against Melrose and MBA has lost many starters I think Mus will win greatly

[big red big blue]

you wanna BE the man, you gotta beat the man. MUS = the man right now. Good luck tonight...Go Big Red.

Austin Bennett will replace Howe at QB. He is a junior that played sparingly at DE last year. He did show some promise handling the team at the end of the Trinity game last week. Last year's backup, Zach Cordell, is now the starter at Independence. He has thrown for nearly 500 yards in two games.

Let me guess you are another MUS freshman that knows absolutely nothing? MUS did not prove much against Melrose in my honest opinion. Yes, Melrose had talent but lacked any semblence of discipline. Melrose had that game won which does not bode well for MUS this season. As for MUS winning greatly haha I think not if anything it will be very close down to the wire. Even with key players gone MBA will not be a pushover. Do a little research and try to analyze things correctly before making asinine one sentence statements. GO OWLS!!!

No joke the kid has thrown for nearly 500 yards in two game? How was he not the starter at MBA & why did he leave?

Actually 434 yards. So, I was a little off. He was a sophmore last year and Rutledge felt that Howe was better, I guess. His reasons for leaving are not clear.
