If anybody thinks that ED has consistently had the athlete's that WRH has had year after year after year, then you just haven't been to many football games, the Dogs just reload every year and they will always be in contention come playoff time because of that. I agree that both Battle and Brian have done a tremendous job with the talent that was at their disposal and they have the ability to make a guy believe he can run through a wall and that is what coaching is all about.
It’s a call that he’ll have to live with, but what coach hasn’t made mistakes? Learn from it and move on.
This isn’t a pissing contest. My point is that he’s a great coach and he’ll have the boys prepared for a fight, talented or not.

Eyes may not be as good as they use to be but from here ED looks to have decent size upfront looks like it will be a battle in the trenches....i dont think this will be a blowout both teams better be ready to play 4 quarters

Kind of a head scratcher on the first drive ED goes for it on 4th down in horrible field position....leads to a extremely short field Faison scores from 9 out 2 point conv good by Wallace.....Clinton 8 ED 0

Well i said be ready for 4 quarter battle and it looks that way.....That fullback is killing us....my old Coach Jeff Sawvel use to always kill us in that film session following those East Duplin games cause of that one play i can hear his voice now "Simple fullback trap and we get gashed 30 yards" lol....honestly if i was Coach Holley i would run it till we stop it.......for Clinton the penalties we have been calles for have been warranted from my view except that 2nd unnecessary roughness call cant ask the defense to just pull up in the middle of the play but besides that i really dont see much as far as officiating goes....ED came to play we better be ready in the 2nd half and clean some stuff up.....one thing i noticed we got alot of different guys filling in on defense think we trying to go with 2 platoons not many going both ways i dont think

We need to shore up the middle(this is where we're missing Kaba) and set the edge. A little extracurricular activity on both sides...need to clean that up as well.

Ends are getting to far upfield and missing the fullback completely....we had them backed up to the 1 and fullback went right by

Good sportsmanship by some ED guys noticed them helping Clinton players up after tackles always like to see that stuff.

ED coverted the first 4th down now getting ready for another one 4th and 1 at the Clinton 47....ED has already used 2 timouts on this drive....could be big later in game

And missed the field goal cause they cant get lined up then had to rush the kick with the play clock expiring, already burned 2 to cause of that crap. Those mental errors pile up...
