82 5A State Champs

Calpreps has it United 28 Channelview 20. Hmmmmm

You are correct. North Shore will once again blow us out the water, and we'll likely drop out of the top 10.

Joey, the point is that they're not playing to their potential. If you're satisfied with doing just enough to win, well that's on you, that's your opinion, and you're entitled to it. Personally, I think the kids aren't playing up to their potential. They should be blowing out opposing teams. They got jumped in the rankings because everyone around them IS blowing out their opponents. Yes, I'm happy they're still finding ways to win, but its disappointing because they're not playing as good as they can play. And yes, I know ranking dont mean anything, but its disappointing to see them not move up when they could have. Like I always have, I dont sugar coat it, and I call it like I see it. And I'm usually correct.

Well, this game is one that BU could, and can, win. But, another loss for United pretty much eliminates them from playoff contention, and helps Channelview, in the process. Also, it helps make sure that West Brook goes D2.

When a team ranked higher than you loses (Austin Westlake), and you get jumped by a lower ranking team (Converse Judson), one can only assume its because West Brook is simply doing just enough to win, and lacks a killer mentality that would allow you to blow teams out, instead of winning by 10. Oh well, these boys are either going to learn to play tougher, or they're going to get beat. Period.

If the playoffs were to start today, it would be NS, WB, LP, and C-view. If Channelview, or DP gets in, WB goes D2.👍

Ugly win, but still a win. Not to look beyond LaPorte, next week, but NS is going to wipe the floor with us. Yikes!

If we went D2? How so?

If I was actually betting on this game, in a pick em, I would have to go with King. Now, to be fair, Kings defense didnt see the same Bruin offense that United saw, so it wouldn't be fair to sat the United defense is not as good as Kings. But, after seeing both King, and United play, I would give the edge to King. However, I would like to see United win.

Still too early to tell. All WB needs is for Deer Park, or Channelview, to get in, and the Bruins go D2. If the playoffs were to start today, that's exactly what would happen. Crossing my fingers, because we dont really want to go D1.

The refs will definitely be on the bus with King. Lol

Agreed.

Yes, dear.🙄

Edited by admin. 82, you know better than to single out a single player.

West Brook is definitely a more battle tested team, and has beaten more quality opponents than United. The offense we displayed against King was very vanilla. I expect Coach Peevey to open up the playbook this week. If I was a betting man, I'd say Brook by 2 scores. But, these are high school kids, so I'll just keep my money. On paper, This is a game West Brook should win.

I've heard another 2 weeks, possibly the LaPorte game.

The offense seemed very, very vanilla, seemingly doing just enough to win. Also, it was taking FOR-E-VER to get the plays in when on offense. We spent alot of time staring at the sidelines. I'm not sure if this is something new, or maybe just the first time I noticed. I'm almost wondering if the coaches were holding their cards close to their chest, not wanting to show their hand before the BU game. It was a win, but man it was ugly. Defense is still giving up way too many points, although they looked much better in the second half. Still need to put some sustainable drives on offense, and gain some rhythm. If we can do that, we'll be ok, but still lots of work to do.

They're not blitzing every single play. They're primarily playing a 4 man front, and they're line is just plain beating our offensive line. The only success we have had has been passing the ball, when #14 has time. Geez.🙄

King 14 Brook 12, half

The running game hasn't done crap, also because the offensive line cant beat their way put of a wet paper sack.

This team definitely is playing with no sense of urgency, and quite frankly, they appear to be regressing. They're definitely not as good as they were at this point last year. They're about to lose that #9 ranking.

Man, coaches taking forever to get the plays in, and the plays they're calling are horrible. 1st and 10, from the 1, and you call a run up the middle. We haven't been able to make that play work all night. No gain. West Brook could lose this game.

Bruin Offensive Line is absolutely pathetic, tonight. Not blocking at all. QB running for his life.

United by alot!

Well, in addition to that, we're also suppose to be getting Jakobi Holland back in a few weeks. So, he will definitely help in making the offense better before the playoffs. That being said, this years defense is definitely lacking something that made them much better, last year.
