Eagleville @ Gordonsville

[croz6110]

What happened?

Basically, we overlooked Eagleville, and they had a better gameplan.

We played flat for 3 quarters.

How is #22 for Eagleville?

Did he get a concussion?

I am not much of an apologetic, unless its religious, so here's my summation ; nic suiting up was huge tonight and next week, if we play like we did tonight, we lose. The coaches have to make sure our players arent caught with their pants down, like they were tonight.

Everyone knows that our D is designed to stop the run, but tonight against Eville we were trying to do the old bend but dont break on the pass and continue to load up on the run. Eagleville had their chances tonight and i kept waiting on the D to adjust and it never seemed to til the 4th and after Nic was involved.

Its not going to get easier, we've got to be able to adjust to the oppositions game plan faster or its gonna cost us.

Obviously in the playoffs, teams arent just lining up with what got them there, theyre trying to adjust and gain an advantage by using unorthodox or element of surprise. (the eagles were successful tonight on a halfback pass, a reverse, a couple screens to keep us off balanced, and even blocked a punt; which im sure they saw on film) Where is Gordonsville showing anything but the same stuff they run all year? Please, when we're getting our regular offense stuffed, use a little creativity and it will pay dividends.And please, for the love of pete, stop with the two return men on punts, WE'RE GONNA GET BURNED by a well prepared team.

Eagleville my hats off to you. Good, hard fought game. And Tigers, learn valuable lessons from this game and never give up. Go Tigers!

Football games are won with adjustments.

BTW, how do you call a roughing the kicker when the ball is snapped over the punter's head.

Either way, we came out better for it, but didn't understand it.

Croz, it doesn't matter if it goes over his head, its still running into the kicker... The only way its not is if its tipped or blocked

Awesome job ... best team won. G'ville wins state. Only chance is if Huntingdon's QB gets there and has the game of his life but G'ville's D will shut that down.

TPay congratulations on this big win. I am concerned why your boy was injured enough he wasnt supposed to play and then he dresses at half? Really? Kids health verses a win? Im not sure about that call? Just asking cause this doesn't sound appropriate for coach to allow?

The kids a senior, let him play if he thinks he can play

as soon as the ball hit the ground he became a runner not a kicker
