SMYRNA VS LAVERGNE

[2priceless]

actually 2p the undefeated team you speak of is mostly seniors and won the lions bowl our freshan year...... someone gets some real facts if you could but i think every team that has won the lions bowl has won state

 

Who did you lose to that year???? Oh yeah ... SMYRNA!!

 

No, I was talking about the freshmen teams after yall .........

What is Crocker about? Do you agree the d-line needs help or are we watching two different LaVergne teams?

 

 

so the reason that Williams should be starting is because:

1) He is a senior

2) He proved himself in a quarter and 1/2 against a horrible Mcgavock D?

 

is that correct?

 

That's good enough in my book...case closed...LaVergne will be victorious with it's new Senior QB. Why did'nt he start from the beginning after all he's AROD made over. it's easy to point at the qb but dont dare point out the (wr) or d-line.

You guys seem to forget that Sonny has the experience factor going for him. You can be all over him, in his face, and yanking him down.....and he STILL throws the perfect pass. He and his receivers are in unision with each other. They have been together a LONGGGGG time. No one threads that needle better than Sonny. Plus he has Robbins as his coach and he has taught him a LOT of football. Sonny has a feel for the game that can't be taught too..it is instinct and studying. I just don't think you can throw a new guy, Williams, into the frying pan and expect more than what you are getting from Crocker. Ask your center and Receivers.........it does make a difference if you aren't used to the QB. It affects the timing.

Well said,

 

I have been reading your post for a few weeks and you are truly a fan of this region. Timing is everything as well as correct route running that is a must when passing to an area. Sonny's prop's are well deserved but that does not make him unstoppable. Smyrna is last years champs and should be respected but not feared. LaVergne can not just close shop and go home because of the Smyrna's talent, thats why they play the game. Upsets happen every week...look at the LaVergne's loss last week......who saw that one comming?

Exactly.......who saw Lebanon beating Smyrna either? Sonny was stopped dead in his tracks last yr in the 1st RHS game last yr and his soph yr as well. It can be done, but here is the thing.......Smyrna couldn't ever beat Riverdale until THEY believed that they could. It is the same thing for LaVergne. As long as they have it in the back of their mind that they might lose, they will. It is called the CONFIDENCE FACTOR. If Smyrna jumps on them quickly, I am not sure that they can overcome it.

Oakland had pressure on Sonny a few times and he either stepped up in to the pocket or rolled out and hit the open man. He was decked a couple times but still completed the pass and then ------ got right back up.

 

Until you have played in Smyrna vs Lavergne game there is nothing to describe the atmosphere and the amount of concentration it takes on the players part.

 

Whoever is qb will see a whole new level of intensity where every mistake is amplified.

 

Should be a great atmosphere and a packed house.

Very intelligent post.

Thanks for answering your own question, I do not think crocker is a bad QB nor do i think williams is a great QB. you have to say that both could lead this team with the players they have around them,but the williams kid can run the ball better than crocker(no AROD ) which will be needed.SENIOR LEADERSHIP GOES ALONG WAY IN HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS. JUST ASK SMYRNA WHO WAS THE LEADERS OWN LAST YEARS TEAM WAS. The D-Front will need to step up the overall play to contain the bryson kid if you want your DBS to have the coverage on the WRS. Dint mean to it home with anything. GO LAVERGNE!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, I was talking about the freshmen teams after yall .........

 

 

I was replying to someone else that posted to you .... comment not directed at you but some RHS poster.

[utcgolf]

your right but that was smyrna 2 or 3 game and our first we scored on the very first play of the game and the rest of the game the ball stayed on smyrnas side of the 50 we just couldnt finish but we still got invited to the championship and smyrna didnt but i could care less cause i know we are 7-0 and oh yea smyrna is 5-2

 

 

 

My point was ... you were not undefeated I checked your facts and I wish they were true ... Smyrna has won the Lions Bowl 3 times over the past 10 years. The year we won the state, we did go to the Lions Bowl, we beat White County 14-6. Not sure what happened the other 2 times, but we sure did not win the state

he's talking about the riverdale freshman classes who have won lions bowl going on to winning blue cross bowl as seniors

[utcgolf]

That is EXACTLY what I was talking about .... the Smyrna freshman class that played in the Lions Bowl, were seniors last year and won the state.

Thanks for the clarification though!
