Pretty good prediction

That was good OrangeFBfan.

I agree Carthage wins this game.

Amen

How many players do they have on varsity this year?

It would be nice to be in the top 10 but you still have to lace em up.

When will the poll be out?

I agree and so will DPG. I didn't see what started it but it was a heated battle and sometimes those things happen. It's unfortunate but they do happen. I was glad to see that it was over at that point. Neither team kept it going.

Nope, have a new number this year.

What # are you this year?

Just didn't need to pass. It was the first game for a new WO-S QB and certainly not the first for Dayton's top D1 prospect, who continued to throw but struggled. Considering they were fairly equal, I think we're ok.

You had two starting LBs out, we had our TOP PLAYER out and our QB out quite a bit. More than a few of those first downs were a backup QB and RB beat backup LBs.

WO-S was the better team last night - though not by much. We had the same problems as you, but handled them better.

Good post. Dayton is a good team we were just better than they were last night. In the second half anyway.

Throw in Ronnie Dennis and we have a passing threat. He played good all night. Returns and both sides of the ball.

#81 for Dayton looked pretty good running his routes. Someone better cover him or he will make a difference.

That is my point---ours stunk and so did yours--that is why WOS did not throw the ball in the second half---I am not trying to be a jerk--those are just the facts

I'm not trying to be jerk either. I think we looked ok on the short pass. What I was saying is Dayton kept throwing the ball and had 65 yards, we stopped throwing the ball and had 62. Our deep passes will improve.

He is a very good QB and he will make tons of great plays this year and he ran the ball well in the first half---however last night throwing the ball he simply did not perform well--better days are ahead.

Analyze your passing game anyway you want to and it was ineffective-------3 picks and zero points is how I see it.

65 yards passing to 62 yards passing is how I see it.

See it how you want to see it. Like I said two picks on deep balls that were thrown up and one on a screen that was picked by a lineman.

I'll agree it wasn't one of our better passing games but the bottom line is we are 1-0.

LCM is going to be alright. Caney Creek went 3 rounds deep into the 4A PLAYOFFS last year, so this was a great team.

Should be fun next week.

Ok folks--here is how it went:

Dayton won the toss and elected to defer to the second half--the official got it wrong and said we elected to kickoff-our coaches made their case but to no avail. As for the fight: Dayton lost John Gable and Fred Hynson--both starting linebackers and that is why WOS ran the ball down our throat the second half---give credit to WOS coaches for recognizing the now soft area and exploiting it--also give credit to them for abandoning a non-effective passing game in the first half

( 3 picks ) couple that with probably the worst game that Green could have played along with a snap over his head and you have a WOS comeback---

Then on top of that add a much better than expected WOS team with a lot of heart and determination and you have the recipe for a WOS victory!

I don't think the passing game was non-effective. Maybe the deep passing game was but we threw the ball well on the short passes. The interception on the screen was simply the RB taking his eye off of the ball and then it floated on top of his helment long enough for a lineman to catch it. The other two picks were on dseep balls that were just thrown up. One on third and long, which was just as good as a punt.

Green played pretty good in the first half. Maybe WOS defense had something to do with him not playing so well in the second half.

He is a really good QB and will make a ton of plays this year.

Good luck

He took advantage of his opportunity last night.

It was DPG's little brother #20 that came in for him. I think his name is Quintavious. He was the one we used as our wedge buster on kicks. That kid flew down the field with bad intentions. He ran the ball the same way. I'm not sure what his classification is but I look forward to watching him.

At least that many. I was proud of the backups that came in and it looked like we never missed a beat.

I thought the fact that we kept cramping up was going to cost us. I couldnt believe how much we cramped up and Dayton never did that I saw. Any comments or answers to that?

Congrats to the Mustangs, I think the rest of 21- 3A  has just been served notice

Look for Dayton to make alot of noise in thier district also. They have a very good team and their QB is fun to watch.

Ditto to Dayton.

Here's an oddity from the game: Dayton wins the toss and elects to kick to open the game - not to defer the choice, but to kick. So WO-S got the choice in the second half and opted to receive (obviously). That was the drive that turned it around. I bet there were some heads shaking on the other side...

That was odd. We were sitting there shaking our heads. I'm not sure you should ever let someone have the ball to start the game and to open the second half.

Dayton has a good team.  They will be fine.  I think the people from Barbers Hill are more upset about the loss than those from Dayton.   ;D

Probably because the people from Dayton realize that we have a good team. I hope we keep this game scheduled for years to come. I know we won't win them all but it makes for a great game.

Does anyone know if Jardon O'Neal and Ke'L Blanchard still on the team.

Jordan is not playing for WOS.

All of the little Mustangs won their games also. Should be a good season.
