Union City hosts Peabody. Can the Tornadoes Slow the Tide's Roll?

I'm just trying to get a conversation started 89.

Union City wins again. I'm not sure if any team in the state can hold them to under 35 points.

I dont know if the east could hold them under 35 with an all star team picked.

I want to ask the Peabody posters a question. I'm curious how you have managed to turn things around since the Dresden game? I must say I was surprised at the outcome of that game. Just curious what steps were taken and what changes you have noticed to get you guys back on track?

The only thing that went wrong in that game is we had 4-5 turnovers that really killed us, a number of times we were driving and would shoot ourselves in the foot. Anytime you turn it over that many times against a good team, hay you saw that Friday night is bound to happen Edited November 9, 2015 by Goldentide99

Yeah I remember hearing about the turnovers. Also Malone only got the ball 3 times. I'm looking forward to another classic match up this Friday. Everything is on the line for both teams. Lose and go home. Praying for an injury free game.

Simply put, after the Dresden game they didn't play anybody...They would have won those games without Malone...

True. They played Lake Co, South Fulton & Gleason. I still say Malone would not have made that much of a difference. Their D couldn't stop us.

Well guys we have all 3 played the same schedule with the exception of a couple of games. That answer is not really a good one. So I ask again. What got things turned around? Someone from Peabody this time please.

Trenton has revenge & redemption on its heart, plus being in underdog status with something to prove, they just may pull the upset. They capable, we'll see. UC is unbeaten & tops for a reason. Will no doubt be the most followed game in state. Game of champions. Sad somebody has to go home afterwatds. No injuries & good luck!

Here is a crazy stat.

 

UC has thrown the ball a total of 12 times this season... 8/12 206yds 4 TDs 1 INTs!

In the last 6 games they have attempted just 4 passes. This is insane to me! Thats incredible!

At the high school level, momentum is everything.  Both turnovers and penalties are big factors in creating momentum swings.  Turnovers, not individual players, were responsible for Dresden's big win over Peabody.  That's not to take anything away from the Lions.  They are a great team.  But a two touchdown lead can quickly grow, or evaporate, with momentum working for or against teenagers.  Likewise, turnovers were primarily responsible for Dresden's loss to a great UC team.  Based on the Tornado juggernaut which averages 57 ppg, any team that beats them will have to have a powerful, mistake-free offense.  Defense is important, but not as important as protecting the ball and not making offensive mistakes.

True, but what's also incredible is that this thread is only on page 4.  The low interest leads me to believe this one won't be close - another mercy rule.

Hmm good point. I know if I thought my team had a chance you'd hear about it...
