Can't have continued success when you bring in the coach who replaced Crowell as the new AD. Carvers issues are larger than the next head coach. I wish the school much success but believe this only the tip of the iceberg. Three AD'S in four years and two principals. Gotta be about the young...
I've been observing you all more so than I've been on here. I'm having fun myself. I'm familiar with all of you having followed this site since at least 2010. I knew already not to have thin skin on here. I'm good. It's been well documented East is not an elite program either regardless of...
Video broadcast or live doesn't make you an expert. Again you're talking about young men. Let's say your accessment has some validity to it. East isn't the first program to celebrate prematurely. Whether in your mind or for experts like you to see it doesn't serve you well to celebrate...
Ok so both BlueandGold22 and Nepsy7 are both experts at interpreting body language and what it means when kids are excited on the field. At least my interpretation came from being in the locker room and what was said. You actually snatched an observation from watching video and drawing your...
X factor for Catholic is neutralizing Hooker and limiting his big plays. We played them first game of season and while they're an achieving Dudley team as usual they don't have that USUAL size and physicality they beat you up with. Usual athleticism and speed. Those kids have seen so much...
Again just being around the program as close as I am I can't speak for the Providence game but I know factually they weren't celebrating being up on Creek for what we knew Creek brought to the table. If anything we were in "Hog Heaven" and trying to figure out how to hold on to the lead. We...
It may not be next year but trust the cupboards far from bare. East brings almost all their sophomore jv's to varsity unless they really see a need for them to stay down. East basically has a de facto freshman team that I think lost one game this year. You probably won't replace a kid like...
Carver wasn't out coached against Lincolnton that year. They brought in a behemoth from their defense in second half to run the ball we had no answer for. The last play Lincolnton converted for first down we told our kids to watch the flats that play was coming. Sometimes kids don't execute...
Can it be stated then maybe not questioning the ability to coach but responding to the pressure to get it done in the big games? I'm sure pressure can effect how coaches call games.
Mr. Honda that's more than legitimate statement. Sports is a bottom line. Either you're getting it done and closing the deal or not. My brother was on that East team that Independence came from down 28-3 to beat. It seemed Ike in that game also the 28-3 lead wasn't safe for whatever reason...
Again play action and a kick butt run game along with minimal D Line pressure nullifies good DB's all day. I don't believe after that first sack the Catholic QB was in consistent duress any more during the game.
That's why I stated it was speculative. In the end it comes down to execution. After a while it gets to be somewhat of the old Cubs curse thing between the ears. I dont subscribe to curses but the mental aspect of sports is as important as the competition. Almost seems like they're waiting...
Exactly Blue and Gold22 my point. The play action was a huge issue with the DB's last night particularly when you don't see this type of offense much AND executed like Catholic does to boot. East has played against more talented WR probably but athleticism wasn't nullified with play action...
@nepsy7 the prevailing belief for the most part last year was Creek would win close or by a large margin or however it was spun. Last night's game was a toss up and I'm not as much disrespecting Catholics state titles as I'm suggesting East didn't possess the "us against the world" angle they...
