Sycamore at Howard

[logcabinman]

Ok i have to say one more thing for my man smokey04, speed is a great thing to have but its not what wins games my man. I would like to say that anyone that knows how to buckle up some shoulder pads would know that. All i have heard from you is how speed is gonna take howard to the super bowl. Did it ever ring inside your head that sycamore has played a couple of games this season so they may know what speed is. I mean unless the kids at howard are running some 4.3 fourty times then the speed issue isnt going to be the deciding factor to this game. I guess you didnt play much ball since you think the howard speed is whats gonna carry yall to the state championship. Brother is takes alot more than speed. Coaching being the biggest thing, and from what i hear yall are a little below par in that department. Expect a good game and drop the speed issue.

 

 

I think you have been mis-informed about Howard's coaching. Their line play does get sloppy from time to time, but their QB and backs can use their SPEED to fill the void. Don't get the false assumption that they just have speed, there is more to this bunch than that. I think what smoke is trying to say is that SPEED does become an issue when the ball gets into the secondary, and that my friend is when the action begins. I have not Sycamore play, don't know anything about them - but I do know that Region 4 is tough. Bottom line, it will be hard to win at Howard this year.

This is the best post on here. Just cause sycamore is a four seed doesnt mean anything. the past two times sycamore has made the playoffs they have hammered a bunch of cocky number one seeds. Oh and whoever is saying book it and making his predictions, the only thing that anyone can book is seeing a good game. Howard is gonna be dirty and sycamore is gonna bust people in the mouth. Its all on who is up when the final second ticks. I would like to also give my opinion on the trading films issue. You can pretty much mark that up as BS. Sycamore isnt that unclassy. Thats just a story made up for the event that sycamore beats another one seed.

You are crazy howard has class them coaches teaches them alot but sycamore will not win this game howard jst to fast they havent seen speed their speed is like florida howard is jst to fast /popcorneater.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":popcorneater:" border="0" alt="popcorneater.gif" /> /popcorneater.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":popcorneater:" border="0" alt="popcorneater.gif" />

We will be leaving in a couple of hours to head to Chattanooga. Anyone know the weather forecast?? Packing the car and need to know what to bring.

May God bless each of the young men on this field this evening and may this game be injury free and the best team win!!

GO WAR EAGLES!!!!

speed like florida? obviously that didnt mean anything agaist a very big underdog in ole miss and who came out with the win? sycamore is gonna line up and hit em in the mouth every play. howard better be ready

The rain should really help Howard's field. When Central was there, it was a dust bowl. At the price you pay to watch a Howard game, you would think they could afford to water the field some.

Sycamore just pounded the ball down their throats and had several long sustained scoring drives. The best way to stop speed on offense is to not let them have the ball. Sycamore controlled the line of scrimmage the whole night and pushed them all over the field.

 

Very good game plan by Sycamore.

 

Sycamore @ Station Camp will be a good game.

Congrats to another Region 4 team who heard how fast and athletic Region 3 is. But being from Dekalb and playing at Mcminn Central tonight you are exactly right. Hit em in the mouth and your region is 4-0 like ours. Good Luck the rest of the way while our region has to beat up on each other . Impressive first round region 4 its what we have come to expect. /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

sycamore done exactly what i said they would do.. gary halstead had his boys prepared for howard and they lined up and ran some smashmouth football... sycamore threw 3 passes all night and one was for a touchdown. long time consuming drives controlled this game. howard ran three plays in the third quarter. i called it another 4-3A sweep. good luck to all region 4 teams from here on out

Howard is a tough place to play. Sycamore will not be able to match the athletes that Howard has. Howard is so fast on defense. The experience of playing Polk's wing t will help the Tigers. Coach Tarver will have his Tigers ready.

 

Howard 39

Sycamore 15

 

 

I will go ahead and say I'm sorry if this offends anyone, but last night, I saw a TEAM of great players beat a group of great athletes. It seemed like Howard was stunned this little team from the sticks actually intended to win the game! I don't think Coach Tarver was ready for that. Howard was not ready for the Sycamore team that showed up.

 

I am very proud of War Eagles and the coaches for going to a hostile environment and knocking the wind out of their opponent on the OPENING KICKOFF! They were able to keep the Tigers on their heels all night. Great job, Coaches!

 

Also, it has to be hard on the home team players when the Visitors, from 2 1/2 hours away, bring as many, if not more, fans to watch the game. I'm sure the War Eagle fans had a substantial part in the win, but like they say, "Sycamore travels well". The fans should feel great for the 12th man effort.

 

Looking forward to Station Camp, THAT is going to be a good game!

What a game it was ! Congratulations to all my boys and to the Sycamore coaching staff and fans. I would also like to thank Howard for their hospitality and for welcoming us to their stadium. Special thanks to the lovely ladies in the "fish tent". Best fish sandwich I have found at a football game. Great to see Coach Tharp, Madison and Coach Boner.

Lets look ahead to next week. I BELIEVE.... GO WAR EAGLES
