At Band Camp

Well as I said I do not have a kid on the team, also not sure how you judge a freshman as a "pure passer", but I hope you are right. Also I never said these sophomores were not talented I said they are  in over their head and it shows. As far as the sophomore players that are playing should be playing, I would suggest you go watch the film. Plain and simple these sophomores are not up to speed with the pace of the varsity game. They do not have the size nor the talent to hang with the bigger and stronger upperclassmen they will face. Hopefully it will all pan out and in a year are so we can get back to a winning record, as far as this year if play remains consistent I say we go 1-9 with a win over Liberty. Of course IF we beat Liberty, we will get the participation trophy of getting to go the the playoffs with a 1-3 district record.

Jack Dallas may throw for 1000. Why would you bring a QB up that can pass to run this offense. I saw the whole game, I saw the whole Jasper game, and I saw the whole Lumberton scrimmage. I will still go by my first post. Sloan gets a pass for this year and he knows it, he is doing what most coaches would do. Dubois did the same thing to the Sr's when he took the team over change of QB, Change of RB's all of them under class men. It is very seldom good news for a Sr. when a new coach takes over.

Don't have a kid on the team haven't for a long time, just a fan. But this quote "Was that 1 deep pass before or after he was deep for a kickoff or on kick off team, punt return or punt team, fullback, or holding the extra point for field goals?" pretty much proves my hypothesis that he is building his sophomores for his future team. Sorry if it struck a nerve but it is the truth, I believe it and there are many questions buzzing in the stands by the other fans and parents that are scratching their head. HJ will most likely win one this year against Liberty (maybe), WOS will score at will in the air if that is the best secondary we can put on the field. 

 

Equation for HJ is easy to see. New coach setting up his future team. He is playing (starting) 4 sophomores, his sophomore corner is a good athlete but not ready for this role. This is easily seen as he has been burned for the most part on every long pass play thrown to his side. Another sophomore is starting at middle linebacker (and getting man handled) while several Sr.'s capable of playing this position sit the bench including a Sr. that was all district linebacker last year (wtf). No pass game PERIOD, if I was a defensive coordinator playing against them I would put 10 in the box and dare them to beat me. His sophomore running back looks like he is trying to find a place to fall every time he gets the ball in his hand. Sad state for these Sr.'s as it is always is when a new coach takes over as their final season is a scratch to this new coach building his future team sorry about that boys but it won't get better. HJ may win one game against Liberty this year.

With that being said, out of thirty teams in the area I bet there are slim to none with players on the bench that are better players than those on the line up card. And with that being said, there are 200 parents that think dIfferently. I am counting the ones on the jv who speak out that they too are better than the guy on the varsity bench and the varsity starter. Coaches dont miss getting the best team they have on the field by much. Most don't miss it all. They are trying to win.

In the high tech world we live in, it is not hard to pull up Maxpreps and see if kids are performing. If you have hitters in your starting 9 that or hitting low .200s or high .100s then you may want to try another bat. If anything it may shake some things up.

HJ needs to get their bats hot. Seems like past 2 games they have had more errors than hits.
