Hoping to watch the stream of the game today to see what evolved. but looking the stats this morning that stuck out to me, as usual.

if Bradley opens up...no one can beat them. At least around here. But if they play conservative in the second half like they have been doing? Then it could tighten up quick. Gotta give it to your playmakers and let them go. I haven't seen a kid like Boo since our days at Cleveland. Between him and Dante. The difference(s) between those two is that 1) Dante was so elusive 2) he wasn't afraid to hit ya.

Bradley didn't really change in the second half against Maryville. More mistakes, fumbles at the wrong time and at long TD pass called back for a hold.

 But yeah, they can light WV up if they play to their strengths, from what I've seen in the CHS/WV game.

I’ve been saying it. This is the best defense WV has had collectively. They will flat out hit you in the mouth! They are extremely well coached and have only given up 22 points in three games total. Obviously, Bradley is ranked #2 in the State for a reason! I’ll say it again this week,… don’t sleep on the mustangs.

I think this game is intriguing because it'd be easy for Bradley to come out flat after beating a team that has been a thorn in their side for so long. I don't think 1 win over Maryville means you can pencil in Bradley for the semis. Not even a guarantee for Oakland,  they will have a tough path as well

fact.

Bradley would have to play a flat 3 quarters to make it within 14 in the 4Q. If anything, Bradey is fired up and ready to show the state they can put a Maryville-esque beatdown on anyone on their schedule.

Boo Carter made 8 of 11 Rebels on the field miss a tackle on a play where he reversed the entire field and scored. I'd say thats elusive

Also saw Boo have some runs with 5+ yards after contact

Walker Valley played 2A Polk county, a mediocre Cleveland, and a verge of shutdown Notre Dame. Think they've got something coming for them in the distance with 2 UT commits not to mention Martin, Tito, OL Eugene and Keith, etc.

Didn't need to change when everything was working. Sure one can say "Bradley was scoreless in the 2nd half" but Maryville also only put up 7 in really what was almost garbage time. The score may not necessarily reflect it, but Bradley dominated Maryville that entire game. Both teams made an even number of mistakes honestly.

Dont take this the wrong way. But i know you will. Ask anyone around in the 90's who the best has been? Dante Hickey. Hands down elusive. Not only that but would flat out hit you if you came over the middle of the field. Im not knocking your guy at all hes done great up to this point. But let me know when Bradley can do what we did?

Not dissing Hickey either, but I think it is easy to get lost in the times. Both are great players.

That is the count I had after watching the stream yesterday. and those were the ones that actually got a hand on him.

Right. Never seen such a well coached team look rec league but then again its less about Maryville's lack of tackling and more about Boo's skills. Dude is not easy to tackle lol.
