I couldn't figure out Richlands' defensive scheme on that last drive by Ridgeview. They rushed 3 down linemen all inside the tackles, being blocked by 5 offensive lineman, so no rush on the QB at all. RV QB is too good to let him just sit back and throw darts at targets.
In the end, you will have to beat at least two good teams to win the region, nobody should get a free ride, including the #1 seed. Seeding for a single team to advance is not as important as some make it out to be. If two teams were to advance, it would be more important so as not to have the two best teams meet in the semis. But with this group, there are at least two very good teams in each half of the bracket, and another in each side capable of pulling off a major upset.
That's one of the carziest things I see around here. There are a lot of good coaches, but clock management seems to be a weakness. Like the Rv game tonight. We have a player late getting in on an extra point. Less than a minute to go with all 3 time outs. Instead of taking the 5 yard delay of game we call a t.o. leaving us with only 2 and Blufield is able to kneel out on 3rd down instead of having to try and get the 1st.
Yes, that extra point was basically meaningless, and what is 5 yards for a delay of game in that situation? Save the timeout and take the 5-yard penalty.
Anyone who looked at last nights score and thought “Thomas Walker” hung tough should know that the score was 40-6 at the half and T W never pulled their starters. Everyone played including the 9th grade team.
Union has had trouble defending the passing game and a mobile QB both of those exist at RV . I would expect that Travis will limit RV touches with time consuming drives with the running game but don’t be surprised if we go deep . Travis will try to wear the RV stars out making tackles (Hill) he will run right at him with a lineman ( Jarvis) as a lead blocker. Smash mouth has been reborn , the ghosts of Jim Riggs and Tom Turner will be smiling watching this one.
Will it be another yellow flagged event for Graham? Competitive game? Does Graham find much needed discipline? How does Richlands do coming off quarantine with little practice?
I've not witnessed it first-hand, but why is Graham considered so undisciplined?
Food for thought........Union and Central (and probably some other teams) have pulled their starters after the first half in their benefit game and first games of the season. How will this affect them moving forward? It helps to keep from getting starters injured, but there will soon come a game where they have to play the entire game, will they be prepared to play a full game?
