I don't want to take anything away from Kings Mountain defense. The best
front 7 we faced all year. But here is my thinking..... 2 teams beat KM this
season, and both did it by throwing the football. KM shut Crest running game
down so Crest went to the air. If you are going to beat KM you must throw
the football - they are weak in secondary and cannot defend the pass.
Do like us, and bunch it up in a power formation and you're beat. Studying
film goes a long way.....
Yes we stacked the box on Crest....and we got torched in our man to man.
Shelby completed 6 passes......2 special teams plays hurt us more than their passing game
I believe you did throw more than 6 passes, your QB was either getting sacked or he was running for his life....we intercepted one and could have intercepted the another, but our DB was smart enough not to catch a 4th down pass.
I've tried to be humble....but you're right, film study goes a long way. Not too hard to figure out that we could run a 7-2 and shut you down, because you couldn't do anything else out of that formation.
Freedom would have been a whole lot better off to spread us out and take their chances that way, because they had zero chance with what they did. But thanks for giving our defense some credit, because we still had to tackle 5, and that's something a lot of other people haven't been able to do out of that same formation.
