Ok, I don’t see that much difference in Hibriten, Pisgah, or Burns that's the only reason I was wondering.
Yeah, that’s fair. That MH game would look different now for a multitude of reasons. Healthier and a better understanding of what we have to do to be successful. I’m not saying we dominate them but the score would look different regardless.
I think Cramer is good as long as they win their last 2. Loses are going to hurt worse than opponents SOS. With NC/Maiden, Burns/Shelby, and MP/Monroe still upcoming the last two weeks, I’m sure some losses are coming.
No, it’s double tight double wing flex bone and, quite literally, power toss left or right, and the QB lead blocks after tossing. They might have thrown the ball 3 times this whole year, if max preps is right I can only see he’s thrown it once.
Probably 10 total passes. They just try to run over you.
If it's 4th and 2 on their 40 they probably not punting. It's not easy to play against
Cramer has 1 good win over a team missing there D1 star. Forgive us for sleeping on purple rain.
When I saw that game- I was shocked. ED played simple, hard nose, ground it out, clock controlling football. The old style game many will say today is not going to work. They won in the end with one pass in the end zone, caught by a guy who had not caught a pass all season. A great team can’t beat You if they don’t have the ball.
We beat you because your defense sucks and your QB threw it up for grabs every time he got pressured.
MeanDog, respectfully, have to disagree with you. Burns did not beat themselves, and neither did Shelby. Lincolnton beat both team by playing hard and making a good effort. For the first quarter and a half the wolves could hardly do anything and faced a 21-7 deficit, along a with Burns defense that literally stuffed us.
I will argue Maiden is the best three lost team in 4A. Maybe after next week Burns can be the best four loss team in 4A, but you can always prove me wrong
Maiden and Burns is a game I’d like to see. I think Maiden is a better team but it would be a fun matchup.
Yall will be the most battle tested team in 4A IMO
Bc of their offense, you have to make them play from behind. If you don’t you’re probably screwed. They’ll play keep away ball and eat the clock. Their schedule has been pretty easy in comparison to last year.
Yea our defense has grown up in the last few games. Our QB struggled that game but he has also come a ways since then. You are right, it’s hard to recover from interceptions, fumbles, and too many penalties- againest a good team but I still believe- in a cleaner game, that is, with Burns playing their kind of game, Burns wins- Linc should feel fortunate. I don’t mind losing but in that game we imploded during the second half. Some of that was due to adjustments made by Linc the other was on Burns- they shot themselves in the foot.
All the best to you guys, Friday night, and the Lions, too. This should be a good game with the X factor being two Cleveland County teams, causing them to really go after each other; and good luck in the playoffs, hoping there will be a matchup with the Bulldogs and Maiden, should be another good one.
I don’t disagree- I was just thinking out loud. According to your evaluation- it was not our night when we played Linc town. It was homecoming for SC when we played them but it was our night, and they sure did not hold back Max (5 TDs) We still had a lot of penalties but we overcame them. I was disappointed Linc lost to SC. It’s still baffling to me, unless there were some important guys missing. Do well the rest of the way. Capable- of course yall are.
Chopper, if the Bulldogs would happen to nip Shelby, Friday night, a bunch of people in 4A are going to draw-up.
It would be interesting to see. I don’t remember ever playing Maiden- really, we have missed out on a lot of Catawba county besides Hickory and Saint Stev a couple times.
Pretty decent chance you’ll get to play one of the Catawba teams in the playoffs. Or even West Iredell.
Not to mention going by RPI. Will RPI keep counting throughout the playoffs changing playoff brackets or will the brackets once set for the playoffs stay set and the games will then decide who plays?? Maybe @GrizzlyDevil can explain that.
RPI is only used to set the brackets. Once they are finalized, it is fully bracket play from there on.
