Corvian @ East Wilkes
- Thread starter EWCards
- Start date
If East Wilkes can run the ball they can win but Corvian is pretty stout on defense.
Last year I felt based off memory it was a balanced attack. I think they had a lot of success defending the run last year, but we ran well on them and so did Heritage.
Yeah it seems like they don’t do as well against heavy run offenses. I’m sure they don’t see the T/Wing T style much around Charlotte area schools. That’s why I think E Wilkes will have success
Last year they would definitely put it in the air. Their qb this year has close to 1500 yards, so around 150 a game.
Granted, I’ve only seen one game but I don’t see the same weapons at WR as they had last year
I was unfortunate enough to watch Corvian end MH season last year and while Heritage was able to run the ball quite well, I was super impressed with how well coached and disciplined Corvian was. The never really faltered and hit a huge pass play at the half that really swung momentum. I have no clue who they have back from that squad last year but their front 4 was very solid.
Not sure if you are a MH fan or not, but I said last year, and will say again, I thought MH was a better team, and should've won that ball game.
They graduated the two defensive ends, the two defensive tackles are still there.
If they do throw it alot, we may be in for a long night. Especially if we cant move the ball.
I think we need to be able to run the ball efficiently and chew up the clock. Of course turnovers and penalties can absolutely kill that game plan as well as any chance of winning a game like this.

Ground and pound baby! Milk that clock
Since their QB is a freshman, I would try to pressure him as much as possible. Show him different looks defensively and get the home crowd fully invested.
East has several interceptions this year. East can’t give 30 foot cushions across from the receivers all night and allow the Qb to get comfortable and into a rhythm. I mean EW has speed of it’s own on both sides of the field so man up as well as they can and get some heat and play solid defense like they have all year long. You can’t sit back in a prevent and let a good passing team just pick you apart and wait to see what their offense is going to do.. or you are just asking to get shredded. Whatever it takes to play smart and flush the Qb out of the pocket with desperation and rushed throws all night without getting roughing The passer calls is what it takes to win this game. All the while imposing your will and getting a lil bit more of a passing game initiated if need be to keep Corvian from stuffing the fb part of the option to fully open up the run game.
I am. Currently have a kid playing at MH. While I agree with you, my point was that Corvian didn’t give up or play undisciplined football. They just hit a couple of monster plays.
These screen passes they throw are to the running back and wide receivers in three games i seen they did that several times best defense for that is long time consuming drives eat the clock up and score touch downs that's my two cents good luck like tarvikes1 said ground and pound baby.
I have seen EW live and Corvian on film. My take on EW is that the Cards struggle with the pass. They do not throw it well or defend it well. Their ability to run the ball is best outside the tackles. Corvian seems to be able to throw the ball fairly well. They seem to be well balanced. Based on my limited looks at both I would pick Corvian.
Based off the latest forecast it looks like theres a possibility of rain on friday, maybe that will have a factor in their passing game.

I thought EW outplayed Corvian, but their two fumbles were costly! Corvian capitalized on both of them. Take those fumbles away, I think the outcome is different. EW did what they wanted to do, which is run the ball and eat the clock, and Corvian could not stop the option consistently.
EW flat outplayed Corvian all game, mainly in the 2nd half. Their passing game was decent but not what I was expecting after all the talk about it. No discredit to them at all, they are a good football team. We done exactly what we needed to do to win the game, ground and pound and eat up the clock. Two costly fumbles deep in our own territory set them up nicely and they converted both into touchdowns, difference in the outcome in the game. All in all they were the better team friday night and best of luck moving forward.
