Daniel Boone @ South-Doyle- Round 2

Recommended Posts

Boone has played over their heads just a bit. They lost their star RB Charlie Cole in the 1st game of this season but his replacement Brennan Blair has made that look like a negligible loss for the Trailblazers. South-Doyle has beaten some really good teams the 2nd half of the season.

They blew out Gibbs earlier in the season 62-17. They beat a really good Knox Central team 38-10. They lost to Powell by 3 points 15-12 to end the regular season. They also beat a good Knox Halls team 49-21. I just don't see Boone being able to stay with the Cherokees. I say South-Doyle 42 Daniel Boone 21.

Not sure they’ve played over their heads.  They played a very tough schedule.  Their 4 losses were all to highly ranked teams at the time.  I’m not sure they can hang for 4 quarters but I think they keep it close. Most predicted Halls would come into Boone and win and we know how that turned out.  Boone keeps it close but the run may end here for a year that overall turned into a very good season.  Those kids have played their hearts out - and to be the only Region 1 team left standing says a lot

Good luck to Boone

Any SD fans on here who can give us some highlights, i.e., what type of offense does SD run, who are the playmakers, what is the defensive strength (line, LB's, DB's, etc.)?      Looks like SD's only losses have been very close games, unlike Boone who got completely blown up in our losses.

Elijah Young is their guy.  Running back committed to Missouri.  He had offers from other Power 5 conference schools as well and is as good as advertised.

Uh-oh.    Just watched some video highlights, and we are in heap big trouble..... *sigh*.....

He rushed 11 times for 245 yards against Cherokee last Friday. 4 TDs as well. He could've walked in the end zone a couple times. Was hardly touched all night. As long as we can stop Boone's rush I feel very confident about this game.

SD lives and dies with Mr. Young. He's rushed for nearly 2000 yards and over 30 TDs, and they'll try to get him involved early and often. They've got a good offensive line and a pretty solid defense. They also cover sideline-to-sideline well. Powell was the only team to keep Young bottled up (57 yards on 26 carries), but other than that, he's been a force.

If you can eliminate the big plays from Young, SD is vulnerable. Versus Fulton, AC, Powell, and Seymour (ejected early vs. Seymour), he was held to under 4 yards per carry. SD won just one of those 4 games. In their other 7 games (all wins), he averaged almost 13 yards per carry and 235 yards per game.

Thanks for the info guys.    Well at least we made it to Round 2, that doesn't always happen for Boone.   And it will be great to watch such a good player in a  live game.      From what I say we just don't have the team speed to keep up with him.
Does SD have any decent concession food (grilled HB's, Chick-fila sandwiches, etc.) ?

Boone has played some tough opponents. I've seen them in person though. Brennan Blair who's filling in for injured star RB Charlie Cole is a faster & more shiftier RB. Cole is more of a punishing RB. Blair is a threat to take it the distance each time he touches the ball. However, Boone overall at all positions just doesn't have the athletes that South-Doyle has.

Boone might be able to put up some points but their defense in my opinion can't stop South-Doyle enough to keep it too close. Boone might/could keep it close thru halftime but I would be surprised if Boone stays close the 2nd half.

That is the problem with us, and really all 5A/6A NET teams..... there will always be a handful of good players, but overall team speed is just not there compared to the Knoxville-ish teams.      But overall I think most Boone fans are just happy to be in the playoffs, a few weeks ago that didn't seem possible.

    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through. 
    • McKenzie had no trouble with Huntingdon.  
    • Has BA landed any cornfed cowboys to block up front?
    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say ..
