Bulldog 82 11 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Martinsville Bulletin Staff Writers: "Morehead 32, Martinsville 0 Martinsville committed eight turnovers (seven fumbles) and lost 32-0 to Morehead High School on Friday in Eden, N.C. Morehead had 18 points on the scoreboard before Martinsville ran its second offensive play. Morehead's defense stuffed the Martinsville running game, and the Bulldogs struggled to move the ball with any consistency. For more on those games and other games around the district, check Sunday's edition of the Martinsville Bulletin." Anyone have any idea as to why the Bulldogs turned the ball over 8 times? I know they have a new coach, Orion Martin, and I'm sure he has installed a new offense. I know it's the first game of the season and it would be understandable to have 3 or 4 fumbles but 8!!! Martinsville is AA and the smallest school in the Piedmont District. Morehead, a small school in NC, is not really a football powerhouse. I was thinking Martinsville had a good shot at beating them and maybe have 3 wins for the season but now I don't think they will win a game. You can't be competitive turning the ball over 8 times let alone win a game. I hope Orion Martin can turn them around but at this point they have some major ball handling issues to address. It's going to be a long season for the Dogs in the Piedmont District.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 I was shocked when I saw the 32-0 score. Toss in the 8 TOs and WOW, could be a very long season for the Bulldogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog 82 11 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 They lost 4 fumbles just hiking the football. They are running some offensive set out of the shotgun but they may need to stick the QB up under the center. Agree...things do not look good a present.
