Loudon @ CAK

[AMYoung]

CAK is rolling right now starting the season 6-0 while the Redskins are still trying to find their identity under new head coach Joe Campbell sitting at 2-3 but with a quality win over Greenback to start the season. With a week to prepare for the Warriors, what is expected of the upcoming game? Redskin fans, what can we expect to see from the new regime?

Not much interest 😴

CAK continues to roll this week

As a general rule, Loudon has always played CAK tough. Normally on paper the teams are fairly evenly matched and it's no secret that, in the past at least, Loudon was not CAK's biggest fan....Nothing would shock me, but this year, I think there is just too much difference between these two teams. I expect the Redskins to play hard, but I think CAK just has too much on offense and defense this week.

Hoping for a good turn out from Loudon and a great atmosphere. These two have a tradition of some great games.

This will not be one. Score will be determined by Bradley's mercy.

Old Bradley Or Young Bradley?

Whichever one remembers the 2012 game at Loudon when a Redskin DL grabbed CAK's QB from behind after the whistle, suplexed him and dropped him head-first to the ground. Maybe they both remember it; I know I sure do. CAK has only played Loudon in football once since then, in the playoffs later that same year. The Loudon DL who suplexed CAK's QB probably remembers how things went for him in the playoff game. If I'd been him I would have changed jersey numbers before lining up against CAK's OL in the playoff game.

I remember that play like it was yesterday. It happened to be literally right in front of where I was located. To date, having watched a LOT of HS football, it is the most egregious, totally one sided, unsportsmanlike play I've ever seen. High had his back to him, the play had been over and whistled dead for seconds, and he was slammed to the ground by a frustrated player (because they were being dominated on the field of play), as you said, in a "suplex" wrestling move, by a much bigger player. But that wasn't the worst part. The worst part was the clapping coming from the other stands after he did it and was penalized and shown off the field. The amazing part was that I happened to have my binoculars with me at the game, and it was ADULTS clapping and cheering that conduct. I will never forget that sequence of events, and the shock  when I saw the standing ovation many adults in the home stands were giving that "hero" for intentionally slamming a defenseless 160lb player with his back turned to the ground. It's ok with me if the score is 100-7 this week.

There's even more to the story! It was a swing pass or WR screen. After delivering the ball, the CAK QB went into "blocker" mode. As the Loudon player ran by him the CAK QB blocked him...just pushed him from the side, not a cheap shot, not a hard shot, but because the Loudon player didn't see him it was enough of a shove to knock him down. That apparently is what set him off and caused the post-whistle attack.

 

The Loudon player who perpetrated the awful act, and the CAK OL who immediately jumped on him and started beating the snot out of him, did NOT draw the flags. The refs explained to the coaches that the action was behind them and they didn't see the beginning of the fracas. The flags came when some different Loudon players jumped the CAK OL who had come to the defense of his QB, and then a couple more CAK OL got into the fray to help their teammate. Offsetting personal foul penalties. To his credit, the Loudon coach at the time got the young man off the field and had an assistant take him to the locker room (it was only a few minutes before halftime when this happened).

 

Your comment about the crowd reaction is also right on target. I happened to be on the home side at the time and can confirm that about half to two-thirds of the Loudon fans, including at least half in the press box, joined in applauding the young man's outrageous conduct. It was a sight I'll never forget. I've seen people really show their you-know-whats before, but that's the worst I've seen at a school athletic event.

I remember the play, and I happened to be watching High as he blocked the player. As you pointed out, it was before the whistle, it was part of his job to block the player, and it was a clean and frankly, not even a particularly hard hit by a 160# QB. It did catch the lineman off guard and from his side, and knocked him to the ground, but was by no means even a big hit. Even had it been, there are blocks made like that on many special teams and regular plays from scrimmage across the state every week. As you pointed out, this was not a case of one player making a dirty play, and then the other player retaliating and the refs only seeing the retaliation. This was a one sided and an egregious play by a frustrated player that could have seriously hurt another kid when he took him violently to the ground, on his head, from behind, well after the whistle, and when everyone including High had already relaxed as the play was over and whistled dead.

 

What I did not see was your perspective from the home side and your observation of the press box. Honestly, it made me feel sick. The most sickening part was the example the adults on the other side of the field set in applauding a cowardly and potentially dangerous act. I asked myself, "what if the Loudon player had caused head, neck, or spinal trauma?" I suspect that player would not have liked to have gotten the same thing he did, done to him, by one of our biggest and strongest linemen at the time.

 

I agree, to their credit, the Loudon coaching staff removed the offender to the locker room. As I watched through my binoculars as he was being escorted off the field, it appeared that the Loudon assistant coach was aggressively reprimanding the player. I was glad to see the contrast between the adults in the crowd and how the coaching staff handled the situation.
