[buccowbellmania]

Hit somebody #23!! GO BUCS!

So far great 1st two days of practice so it looks as though the Bucs will be ready for the home opener and be the Pioneers worst nightmare!!

Good to hear. Need to keep the intensity up. Leaving no doubts this year.

Old Pirate says the Bucs will show theys got powder kegs full of gun powder and will send the Pioneers back across town in defeat!

It is a shame what's happened to East Ridge high school, they used to be strong or at the very least, competitive, in every sport girls and boys both. In some of them now they can barely field a team.

One man's opinion of Boyd Buchanan's team:

 

this is not giving an opinion on how good they are or if they win the state, just observation ( wasn't the best of competition to give an evaluation of how good a team they are:

 

alot of players play both ways, line has size but average on athletisism , #78 biggest lineman but tires easily and loses effort ( too easy to block),

best hitters on team are at skill positions, # 15 hits like dynamite,

 

QB evaluation, ran well but wasn't impressed with his passing,

 

conclusion:

--a very physical team will be a problem for Boyd,

--concern for # of 2 way players

--coach leaves starters in way too long once game is decided, could result in an injury, something Boyd can't afford

You make a few valid points. I don't think the # of 2 way players will be an issue in 2A. Also I don't think the passing will be an issue. We can only get better as the season goes along. In my opinion, we haven't had a legit passing attack since Will Healy back in 2002. A lot of the QBs we have had since then have not been asked to throw a lot. I believe Nic Hughes would of been, but his knee injury set him back a little.

Sorry Buc55,

 

I wasn't trying to dish Boyd, please re-read my post. Boyd very well could go undefeated and win the state. Simply observing the team. Let me do another summary.

 

Boyd's strength are their skill players . Although the lineman are good , not the strength of the team ( and please don't take that personaly).

 

If you say you all are a .500 team , then that's your opinion

Hope the Bucs Politically Correct Pirates can stay undefeated until they run into the real Pirates.

Will be a very good game during a rough stretch for the only Pirates they can keep the buc name.

You will throw the ball more this year.
