OFISHE8 10 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 I had a post similar to this one last year and it worked, let's all hope it works this time: ABSOLUTES AND DESIRABLES FOR THE BLUES The Blues find themselves in the same position as they were last year when they take on Hidden Valley in the Division 3 State Semi Finals. Tornado fans hope that Richlands can perform as well on the road as they did at home last year against Liberty. At this stage of the season there are no cupcakes and pushovers so the Blues must be ready to play every minute. I have composed a list of absolutes and desirables for the Blue contingent as they head for Saturday's showdown with Hidden Valley: 1. RELAX!! This was the one thing the Blues could not do on Friday night against Graham (especially in the first half). I understand the circumstances and the pressure that comes with being a favorite to win the game; however, great teams can trust their abilities and can perform at a high level under pressure! 2. KEEP IT SIMPLE!! The Blues have to keep on keeping on. Sometimes Mance tries to outhink himself in crucial situations, and Saturday will be no different. Remember what got you to this point: spread the field and keep the defense guessing!! 3. WITHSTAND THE INITAL RUSH!! The key last year against Liberty was the Tornadoes ability to throw the first punch. Hidden Valley will be facing the hardest hitting team of the season on Saturday. The Blues have to withstand the home field advantage and the initial adrenaline rush the home team always has. We did this to Liberty last season by forcing a fumble on the first possesion; therefore, the Blues have to strike early to establish the tempo for the rest of the game. 4. REMEMBER LAST SEASON!! Turner Ashby proved a very valuable lesson to the entire Richlands team last season: Executuon and discipline are a must at this level. The poise and composure they had throughout the state final last year proved to be the difference in the outcome. Most of you guys remember that day and know what it takes to become a champion: TRUST YOUR GAME!! Remember: If you play your best, you will not get beat!! Good luck BLUES, and let us hope the entire BLUE NATION will show up Saturday and turn Hidden Valley's stadium into a home field advantage for our team!!!

[/ QUOTE ] Do you write Jessee Jackson's material? He rambles on for an hour and still never says anything. The Blues need to do what they have done all year. Take care of business, play hard and create mistakes instead of making mistakes. GOOD LUCK AND STAY ON COURSE...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OFISHE8 10 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 No, I think that Michael Richards now writes Jessee's material. What I was trying to say is that when you get to this level everything must be perfect. Like I said before, Turner Ashby proved that last year. The Blues learned a valubable lesson that day: you must be ready and bring your "A" game!! My list of absoultes and desirables stress that point. The Blues must play within themselves and execute and the rest will take care of itself!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
