Ensworth at MUS 11/18/11

I watched some of the internet feed of the Ensworth/MUS game. Someone coughed up the $750 to allow for video streaming, which I appreciate. The WMC radio guys did a good job with the audio portion of the broadcast, and the instant replays were a nice touch. MUS has a great defense and size to match up pretty well with Ensworth, better than most, and remember that's an MUS team that had a span in the regular season where they gave up just 3 points total in four games.

 

The big difference seemed to be Ensworth RB Corn Elder. He had two 80+ yard TD runs, on one of which he does an amazing fake-out of the MUS defender. And he's just a junior! I've seen him play in person twice this season and he is the real deal. Elder is a future college football star if he stays healthy, unless he decides to give up football to play basketball.

Ditto. Best RB in the state in any class, hands down. Speed, quickness, evasiveness, surprising power for his somewhat small stature. A one-man wrecking crew. Unless somebody finds a way to slow him down, which I doubt, Ensworth will get gold ball #3 in a row next year. He must have been gimpy when Baylor beat them.

 

BTW, the "WMC radio guys" were the regular MUS radio broadcasters. They are all former MUS players and/or coaches. They do a superlative job IMO.

If there's a better RB out there than Elder among any other TSSAA players, I'm not aware of who that would be. It's noteworthy Elder still has one year left at Ensworth, giving them a strong weapon returning for 2012.

I agree - the MUS broadcast crew did a very good job. In particular the play-by-play man's performance was strong. The multi-camera shoot looked good.

 

They used USTREAM and I never experienced any problems with buffering, slow-down, quality drop, etc. Well done.

They do have a great team and coach and Corn is a great player. He was not gimpy when Ensworth played Baylor. The Baylor coaches put together a great game plan to shut him down. In the last two games against Baylor (last year's state championship and this years game), Corn did not have the success that he has had against other teams. Here is to hoping that the coaches and players will be as sucessful in slowing him down as they have the last two times they have played.

The "gimpy" remark was tongue in cheek. MUS' strength was their defense. With 30 seconds left in the first half, Elder has 30 yards rushing and the game was scoreless. At halftime, Elder had 110 yards, EHS led 7-0.

Elder obviously is a game buster, a big play specialist. Congrats on Baylor's past success, but I suspect 3 (games) will be the charm for Corn. I watched the Baylor-MBA and Baylor-CBHS games and thus frankly am amazed that Baylor has slowed him down the last 2 games. I guess it's about "matchups."

For the record, Elder had a bad stomach bug for the Baylor game this season and was questionable whether or not he would even dress out for it. Regardless Baylor has done a great job defending him and even had he been healthy Baylor would have still won that game.

I think Wilkins (SBA Jr) wold be in the conversation with Elder. Put him on MUS, Ensworth, etc., and he would be even more highly thought of than he already is.

Wouldn't it be interesting to see what Wilkins could do on a better team? ABSOLUTELY. However, I would still give a slight edge to Elder. In the catregories I mentioned - quickness, speed, evasiveness and power, I would rate Wilkins ahead only in power. He's a very close second overall IMO. And we get to watch them both one more year. How sweet is that?!

    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through. 
    • McKenzie had no trouble with Huntingdon.  
    • Has BA landed any cornfed cowboys to block up front?
    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
