Humboldt @ Union City

[piratetom]

Gotta take Union City in this one....either one of these teams are favored to win the Gold Ball this year.

The thing I love most about High School sports is that anything can happen. I do not want to take any credit from LC beccause they played extremely well but what I saw from the Humboldt coaching staff and the players after going up 25-0, was a team that just simply quit. Again, not taking anything thing from LC because they brought it the entire night.

 

Now, on to the UC game. Please, please do not expect the same team. Humboldt does get a little lazy at times, but they have the ability to take the game completely over. I am not saying that they will do this, but they have the ability with 3 or 4 players. Humboldt has not played a team that will run it right down their throats, so I am very interested in seeing how it goes.

 

I can see how people would want to post a score of UC by 2 or 3 scores, but don't jump the gun. Let the boys play the game. Its going to be a hard hitting slug fest if you ask me. If Humboldt can throw the ball like I know they are capable, the run game will open up. I am going to say that Humboldt's QB play will be very critical in this one on the offensive side. Humboldt's LB's are going to have to stop getting sucked in to the middle. They are getting tied up in the line and can't get out to make a play.

 

As far as NCS, you have no dog in this race. you have had a total of 3 winning seasons in the last 10 years.  I  would have went back farther but I think I have proved my point.  no disrespect, just stating facts.

Trust me my friend, the UC fan base is not making any predictions on the margin of victory. We know we are in a battle and will play like that. The 2 or 3 score predictions are coming from observers and fans of other teams. The Tornadoes have respect for the Vikings and know how to prepare for a team of this caliber. Your team is not the only one guilty of falling asleep. Since the Huntingdon game we have not had a real challenge until now. We must play every second of every down to be successful in this one.

just trolling but man that hurts. Dresden wasn't a challenge. Great bulletin board material if we meet again.

BigSwo, you are so correct that's why you play the game, you can't compare how one team played another team because it all about mathups, turnovers & game planning. This football team reminds me of the basketball team last year, played terrible & lost against teams they should have beat but when it came down to needing a big win always stepped up to the challenge. Hopefully, it will be a good game Friday & a injury free game because these two (2) teams could meet again down the road.

Big Swo, we definitely have nothing but respect for the Tornadoes and believe me, if Humboldt comes in lazy, you guys will have the 3rd string in by the 2nd half. I can only hope for a great game.

Oh yeah dude I apologize. Dresden was a challenge. It was the 21 point spot in the first half that got my mind messed up.

Union City will win this one and show that Humboldt is not as good as they have been made out to be.

You guys kill me! So if Humboldt loses, they aren't good??!!  Union City has lost a game, so are you saying they're not as good people say they are??

That's what I was wondering?

 

 

Swo, what size kids do y'all have in the backfield this year? Any Nicks or Hyde up there....?

No sir we don't have a Nicks or Hyde. In fact I dare say that we have any single player that is dominant. We play more like a team now. If I were going to single out any aspect of our team it has to be the line play on both sides of the ball. That's it in a nutshell in my opinion. Now don't get me wrong we have some fine football players. These guys all play hard. I think it works out better for us this way. In the past you could focus on a big strong fullback like Nicks or Hyde but this team can strike from any where and that is because of the line play. We have also changed up our formations and added some new wrinkles. It's exciting not to know who is getting the ball almost every play. You have to watch everything and just when you look the wtong way somebody comes out of a spot you didn't see and suddenly you are watching a guy grind down the field for a good gain.

I'll give props to Dresden.  They are the scariest team we have played so far in my opinion.
