37 points and they FINALLY  got everyone back...

Coach sat a couple of players due to bad grades. They scored off of 4 fumbles, can’t turn the ball over like that and beat a good disciplined team. Starting running back and corner were two of the academic casualties, not sure about the others. Our running game was non existent. That bomb right before half and that 4 down playaction TD sealed it. We had our chances just didn’t happen.

The more disciplined team prevailed. No excuses allowed. I really think Whitehaven is not near as good as they’ve been in the past.  Period. They were taken to the woodshed by a better team.

It’s all good, we played bad and we lost. They executed and won. Congrats to Gtown.

Lots of penalties on both teams in this game. What's up with that?

Whitehaven had two to get ejected tonight. #60 & #1. They both will sit out the 1st round game against Collierville next week.

We we're out played, out schemed, out coached. We had way too so many turnovers in our own territory, and looked like crap. 

I'm glad we have everybody back, but we still have major issues.

The smartest thing our coaching staff did tonight is take out the defensive starters at the end when emotions were running high. That probably prevented others from being tossed.

Congrats G-town on a well played, well deserved victory.

That's an excellent summation.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

While Whitehaven had a handful of big pass plays here and there, Germantown was very consistent in moving the ball  -- running and passing, especially the intermediate passing game.  When you combine that with a stout defense,  Gtwn established superiority very early on and never really let up.

Overall, Gtwn's defense really rose to the occasion.   Offensively,  much credit to the coaching staff for recognizing very early that they could exploit Whitehaven's cornerback #6, easily and often!     And that's  pretty much what they did, all night long, especially whenever they needed to pick up  15+ yards.  Thus, number 3 for Gtwn had himself one monster "receiving" night!

Side notes:    

1)  The  Cornerback (#6)  for Whitehaven got torched so often that I actually found myself starting to feel really badly for him.    While he was an excellent tackler and demonstrated lots of courage, his cornerback skills were flatly non-existent.

2) The receiver for Whitehaven (#14) has some serious ball-catching skills!  Unfortunately for him and his team, the QB was off-target more than he was accurate and, therefore, could not consistently deliver the ball..... Whatever College he attends-- they are getting an excellent receiver!

Bottom line:   Germantown is real-deal this year.    They are clearly a much better team than last year!   So, no -- I absolutely would not be shocked to see them run the table, all the way to a Gold Ball.

Hate that we can’t see some sort of Germantown, Lausanne, and MUS showdowns this year. Does Germantown have much more talent than from a couple of years ago or have those kids bought into the system more now? Certainly seems they have done a great job getting that program back to how they used to be.

WHat did the two players do to get ejected ?
