I stated on another thread how play calling has been an issue for us at times. I am on the inside and maybe can't see the forest because of the trees. Just curious from the WC perspective, did you all feel like we got away from the run game and threw it way to much? I thought our backs were having success.

I think the play calling was just fine. NCS has a very good QB and should be used just as much. He made a couple of ify throws but so did Rice, it isn't always perfect. You can't get frustrated and want to abounded something that works. I'll uses Rice as an example again, for every bad throw he has made, he has made 15-20 great throws. WC wouldn't be here without Rice's arm. It would have probably been beneficial For NCS to run #11 & #26 more, but your QB picked up some first downs with his throwing and his running. I think you folks have a very good coach. He made some really good calls that tricked WC's defense. I haven't seen that happen this year. It was a good football game. Again, you folks have a very respectful bunch. Edited by wildcatalumni

Hard fought game. Congratulations to WC. We certainly had our chances. Picked off Rice twice and hustle on special teams resulting in to WC mishaps on punts for a total of 4 TO and we come away with no points. That's tough but credit WC for not yielding anything.

Two terrible 15 yards penalties, one taking a TD off the board and one backing us up to the 20. Both were absolutely the correct calls. Again no points.

NCS had every chance to take control of the game but fate has something different in mind for this Wayne County bunch.

Must also say I am not sure why we tried to get in a shoot out when our run game was working and working darn well too. Don't know the final stats but sure seems like we had 2 backs over a 100.

We moved the ball well on the ground and especially on the left side. Sometimes the play calling just doesnt make sense.  One drive we marched down field on the ground to get in the red zone, and then for some reason felt we had to abandon the run. Very puzzling.  We also have to find a way to keep our composure. When a player gets his feelings hurt because of what someone else does or says and gets backed up 15 yds, he's not caring about his team much. He did the same thing last week late in the game. We were in great shape at that time, but that selfish penalty, which backed us up to the 20 resulting in no points was a backbreaker. How control has not been taken over a situation like that is very frustrating to me.

Congratulations to Wayne County! Your players are not only talented, but also full of heart and come to battle. They are also very well coached.  Preston Rice is everything people say about him and more.  He is extremely talented, but his biggest attribute might be his competitiveness.  When he threw a pic he didnt hang his head and say Oh no!  He took off after the ball. What a player and what a team. Your fans are also very warm and classy folks. 

 

Interesting story, After the game when everyone was down on the field, I walked over to congratulate WC players.  I saw a WC fan walking across the field. Keep in mind there were hundreds of people on the field.  I asked him if he might know of and know who wildcat89 was. He said That's me!  Imagine that! He's the only person I even asked, and I picked him out of hundreds of people. I hope y'all take it all wildcat. If I can make it, I might see y'all in Dresden. Go cats!

NCS passing 97 yds 0 tds

Rushing 273 yds 3 tds

WC Passing 272 yds 4 tds

Rushing 223 yds 1 td

 

 

I see Preston Rice as Mr. Football again. Scoring TD's, stripping the football twice, "Dude" refuses to lose. Of course he has a great team around him but from a stats, leadership, and competitiveness standpoint, how can you not chose him. He DA Man!

Carguy, I couldn't agree more. We have to find a way to be more composed in the future. Our mistakes killed us against a team as prepared and well coached as WC. I thought we were prepared. We were in position to make plays against Rice but the guy just keep making plays.

Our best defense last night was the run game and we got away from that.

#11 & #26 best backs we have faced this year........agree with you should have stayed with run

      Good ole Bradley Zulliger. He was a really good QB @ OR. Fun to watch.  Wore #15 and was like a mini Tebow, with the exception of being right handed. He could take a pounding and keep on ticking. Played with a collapsed lung against Powell that year. Tough as nails.

      2024 5A Season

      By oridgecat · Posted

      They should be pretty good in year two for Rang.  Replacing most of the offensive production losing Dozier, Hayward and Rembert , but they're are skill kids in place ready for their shot.  I know I say this every year, but the o line should show improvement after two years in Rang and Kevin Day's weight program.  I still would favor West over Plow and OR come November.  The Rebs will have to grow up a bunch between now and then, and will probably take some lumps along the way with that schedule.  But I predict come playoff time they will be ready.   One of their coaches half joked to me that they could go 5-5 regular season and win the state championship.  Ha ha.

      Dyersburg may win back to back to back championships. They are going to be hands down the best 3A team. Plus their District/region/sectionals are not very good. They basically just have to make it to region out of a 5 team district that has a few decent teams. South Gibson will be okay but they graduate their best player and there is nobody in the region 7 or region 8 who is going to compete with them.

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      By BarneySox2007 · Posted

      I remember very well watching things change in the late 80's and yes it's all schools. Most people that are in charge today have any idea because they were raised and taught under this social experiment so they don't have a clue. Anyone that does see the truth for what it is usually try and hide it by blending in so that the School Gestapo doesn't round them up and take them to the Fuhrer ( kindly putting it ). Yes it is all schools not just Maryville. This train ride is not headed in a good direction and if the public had seen a movie of what's happening now back in 1980 everyone would have been headed home afterwards to change underware.
