Columbia Academy vs Whitwell

[TheAmbassador]

You calling an 18 point game, Mayor?

Should be worse. The first one 40 when he called off the dogs.

Everyone that says that CA doesn't like to get hit is because they think that they are soft because they're a private school. My son played nose guard for CA and graduated last year so I haven't been to any games this year but Coach Lansdell and his staff will have those boys prepared for every game. The legendary John Wooden once said that he doesn't coach during the game because he has coached in practice all week. The answer for your adjustment argument is execution.

The answer for your adjustment argument is execution.

I agree.  But a spread offense that can't ground and pound when needed is incapable of running time off the clock.  I would argue that CA's offense falls into that category.  I've seen incomplete passes stop the clock too many times from a spread offense that can't get first downs on the ground.

[CADad]

I've heard that ground and pound for 3 years. CA only lost 4 games during that span. It means nothing if you're losing the game. If you complete your short passes, the clock stays running. Ground and pound ending with a punt isn't good is it? CA always has a run game, it was just overshadowed with good quarterback play. Ask Wayne Co. how that ground and pound worked against CA the last 2 years.

Should I ask NCS too about the vaunted CA offense?

[CADad]

You got selective amnesia, don't forget about the playoff game in 2013. So it was 2 and 2 which is 50%. Which is my original argument that it doesn't matter how you do it, as long as it gets done. Move the chains!

What does the selectiveness say about CA vs. NCS?

[CADad]

The same about Union City vs. NCS

Columbia Academy has a great team. We are all chasing you in the east. However, it's game set match for any of us vs the west.

[CADad]

Since my son graduated last year, I haven't really looked at the brackets. I check out Coach T regularly and follow the teams on Ballfrog that we played against the previous 4 years. I'm not familiar with these new teams, I just had to comment about our style of play. It's working, that's all that I'm saying.

We have already established you have not seen a Columbia Academy game this year.  Have you reviewed stats for CA?  They are more than capable of executing "ground and pound" offense.  They are a much more balanced offense.
