Whitwell @ Grace Baptist Academy

[SamHain]

Can the Tigers build on their win against David Brainerd, or does GBA overpower the Tiger defense? I haven't seen GBA play, but hear that they have some talent in their skilled positions. Whitwell has been running the ball adequately and mixing it up with a few good passes by Kilgore, but the big question I have is can the defense foster some needed aggression and stop Grace's passing game? Any thoughts?

I THINK MAYBE A TOSS UP UNLESS GB IS LOOKING AHEAD TO NEXT WEEKS BEATING AGAINST SP! IF WHITWELL WILL PLAY THEIR GAME AND NOT LET GB CONTROL WHAT THEY CAN DO I THINK WHITWELL IN A CLOSE GAME!

If you want to beat Grace, shut down the quarterback. Boyd held them to one score in the late minutes of the game. That touchdown was agains Boyd's second string. Control Grace's quarterback and you control the game.

GBA - 33

Whitwell - 20

DB just played both teams in a row. I was more impressed with Whitwell than Grace, but Grace might have been a little flat after getting drilled by LV. DB should have made the game closer in both games. If the game is at Grace, I will have to go with Grace by a TD or 2. Stopping their QB has been difficult. He throws better and runs better than what you saw Saturday. Their main receiver is not as fast or quick as DB's, but they seem to somehow get the ball to the right person.

The young lads from Whitwell versus the young whipper snappers from Grace could be a dandy. This is two mediocre teams going at it. It should be a really good game between these teams. I don't know who will win so I will not make a prediction yet.

Whitwell is goingh to win. They looked like the better team. I think they will be able to exploit Grace's inept run defense

I think that if our defense can muster a little more aggression this week, then we can put the necessary pressure on their QB. Stopping their pass game will be crucial for the Tigers to win, just as it was last Saturday against DB. You should see a victory this week, DBfan. I think you will have more success moving the ball against Copper Basin that you did against us.

This is another key to a Whitwell victory (the other one stated above). Francis can run the ball at you hard, so he has to have a good game for the Tigers.

Good luck this week, jadguitar. Your impressive jackets should have no trouble stinging Silverdale.

The paper showed that we had plenty of yards to maybe sustain a win. Even showed that 1st downs were even. The passing game was ineffective, other than total yards, because the ball was not in the right person's hands. I'm not sure how much Whitwell had to do with that, but maybe more than I know.....

I should have specified that I meant you should have more success passing the ball this week. You did fairly well running the ball last Saturday, but didn't run it as often as you could have to help win the game. You seemed to keep going back to the pass even when it wasn't working and the run was. That's just my opinion, though. I'm no expert, just an interested fan of high school football.

I agree. The pass could and should have worked. The run could and should have worked.

Just like with any game, though, all of the "could have" and "should have" stuff doesn't change the outcome. I'm proud of the Tigers for doing what they had to do to come away with the win. I hope that they can continue it this week. Where are the GBA fans?? Do they have nothing to say?
