MountainTroll Posted August 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 This is a must win game for my Eagles in this year of rebuilding. I'm sure the Pioneers will be hyped for this game, starting the season 2-0. I think we will be healthy enough, and the Eagles will no doubt be motivated to prove themselves. I expect a hard fought battle, but I think Signal should be able to win this one by 2-3 scores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtnCanon Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 A 2-3 score win right now would be great...but I'll take a 2-3 point win too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MountainTroll Posted August 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 I'll take a one point win if we can get it. I said should win by 2-3 scores because we should be able to put up some points on East Ridge. We scored 18 on East Hamilton, which is what Cleveland scored against them last week. We scored 3 on what is arguably the best defense in the state, which is a third of what Riverdale scored on them week one. Unfortunately, we struggled to contain both teams' speed and skill players, and East Ridge certainly has some speed and skill players. So far this year, the one thing we have not been plagued by are excessive penalties and turnovers. If we can continue to avoid those two types of mistakes, we should be able to put up more than we give up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yer skill players on defense might slow ther scorin' some, but yer offense wouldn't have fared much better. You guys just worry about the Christians this week, and we'll worry about them Pioneers.

Don't like to see any kid injured, even a leprechaun. At least your guys won't have to worry about getting hit very hard this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations to the Pioneers. They obviously wanted it more and scored 35 unanswered points after falling behind by 10. They have several talented athletes and good team speed. If they keep playing like they did tonight, improve every week, and clean up some sloppy mistakes, they'll give the leprechauns a tough game. As for my Eagles, the wheels just fell off late in the 2nd quarter. For the first 20 minutes, they dominated. Some poor execution on offense and defense, and some questionable play calling let East Ridge get a lead going into halftime. Big Mo took over at that point and it was downhill from there. Turnovers killed us. Hope the guys can keep their heads up and keep playing hard, but it's going to be a hard season.

CPHoops Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 It's no surprise really. Those boys are giving it all they have but this is a very different SM team with few go-to options on offense. Signal has some talented guys on D and stout lineman but they just get worn down and they really struggle defending in space against speed. Have to feel for their boys a little. How many more injuries will they have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
