[Were you at the game? We play cover 2 alot where the corners are isolated with deep halves. If they play too close they could get burned deep. We give that up, the out routes, to give better run support with the safeties. Its our scheme, not the secondaries fault. You are right about the offense, we scored one TD and one long field goal. Liberty was terrible except for the QB throwing to number 6 and we gave that to them. Defense played great especially defensive line and the safeties on run support. Risinger will be first team all district. Offensively, we either need to get better on the short throws or run more. We like to throw deep too much and with the spread its all about quick short stuff that opens up the deep ball occasionally, while running the ball in between. We ran affectively with the misdirection and if we had more speed would have broke some for TD's. Need to utilize the speed we have more!!!! We broke 2 that were called back due to penalties. These 2 runs totaled at least 100 yards of offense. Dishon had a big game. That year on Varsity last year gave him some experience that will help the Cardinals this year. Don't you agree? What speed are Cardinals not utilizing? Can they block as well? The Cards need all the blocking they can get on the Offensive side of the ball to help move the ball.

777 said, "Seniors should play ahead of freshmen unless the freshmen areleaps and bounds better, which they weren't in this case." Wow, bitter much! These 2 freshmen were varsity material in more than one sport! Amazing, that the coaches in BC as well as the coaches in 21 3A who honored one of them with All District honors made such a mistake and did not recognize your child. Something to be aware of these 2 freshmen- WORK- They ran stands, miles and lifted weights - on their own after practice. As a Cardinal fan, I want the best players touching the ball as often as possible. I want to win. I hope that the players and coaches find in their hearts the desire and passion to compete at or above their abilities. It will take 100% from all concerned - the line, the position players, the kickers, the back up players--- every member of the team has a role to play and MUST play their role in order for the team to win!
