Good game Springfield congratulations on the win!

Thanks Boski y'all great host GREAT game. Lots of atheletes on both team

[LEON]

Great win for the Jackets , glad we kept pounding the rock kept the time of possession away from Maplewood's playmakers and it wore on them as game went on. Great game for our kicker hitting two clutch FG's one tying the game late in the 4th and the game winner in overtime. On to the quarter finals at Pearl-Cohn. Congrats to Maplewood on a fine season.

I was shocked they didn't run a QB sneak twice in a row. MW had gained 5 yards a pop with it during the game.

i was surprised hey didnt run the qb sneak in that situation also. But i also thought with the way the jackets pounded the ball at will all night thyat they didnt go for the win on their 4th and 2. I guess their coach made the right call.

[bleacher]

Second guessing after the fact is easy.

Making split second decisions at crunch time is not.

 

Had they scored praise would be given...

 

The play call was based on how they were being defended and the skill set of their offense.

not taking anything away from SF ..great game..but even with you guys rushing attack ..what i figured out by half time was a series of 3 to 4 effective running plays by looking at the guys in the neon vest i pretty much knew when QB counter was called or give it to #42 and on occasion #23 would slip in and do a little damage.. the defense stopped SF more than enough times.. i think Maplewood defeated themselves with all those stupid penalties they committed just my point of view i felt Maplewood still somewhat had upper hand  ..just to many bad play calls throughout the game for Maplewood ..they didn't stick to what worked for them best  on offense ..and a toss on 4th and goal is not the right call ..no matter how you look it ..and had they scored ..so what ..sheer luck is what id say ..praise no ..toss requires you to toss the ball backwards away from your goal ..which is not ideal when your are 1 yard or less away QB sneak ..that just showed the coaches had no confidence in team when it really counted ..just not the right play ..no second guessing needed ...it was a dumb call period! ..just thought i had a right to voice my opinion ..i'm not a coach ..and yes i did enjoy Maplewood first basketball game vs LEAD Acad ..front and center!

I honestly thought the lucky hailmarry pass before the half was gonna be the difference in the game. 23 dropped the interception that was easy pick 6 and springfield fumbled twice in the redzone. So i honestly thought they should have won the game by at least 14 to 21 based on how the game was going. You are right maplewood has terrible play calling. You guys had ran 2 qb sneaks that go at least 3 yrds each carry. i think you score if you ran the sneak, however i think sf would have scored if they went for the win instead of fg. it was a very entertaining game none the less. What i have seen from that sf team is nobody gave them a chance first 2 rounds and they won..nobody giving them a chance this week either. I am interested if they leave nashville shocked 3 weeks in a row.

I hope we do shock the world for a third week in a row! One thing is for sure, we are going to show up and give it a shot!

i did too.. it kinda swing things back around for us ..and you right it was pure luck ..ill be the first to say that..but that play was also one of Maplewood strong points ..as it was used several more times after that with good results and drew a lot of penalties ..because they had to defend it even going to double coverage on #1 .. i cant agree on a 14.. 21 point loss though ..we had turnover chances  too with onside kick to begin second half ..your guys also had muffed punt go back in your favor ..and don't forget the two touchdowns called back on Maplewood for penalties way closer than it should have been ....great game though ..i wish you guys best of luck! PC will not make same mental mistakes my panthers did.
