Hibriten @ Hunter Huss
- Thread starter beamer24
- Start date
Huss has returned 2 kickoffs for tds
Hibriten has returned 1
running in open space and untouched ? or godawful special teams tackling ?
from a 2 score lead …. to now THAT … man, that’s a tough pill to swallow
Both teams have had 2 fumbles. Pretty evenly matched going to come down to conditioning. Both teams are gassed.
sounds about right if all/most scoring were from quick strike plays as opposed to sustained drives. they’ve gotta be gassed at this point
Tough lose for Hibriten. Doesn't get any easier in Black and Blue. West Caldwell lost a heart breaker 43 to 37 on a hail Mary. Both teams will be hungry
truth be told, west rolling into black and blue week coming off heartbreak would’ve actually been ideal. games like that, the ones that take an emotional toll on you, are often difficult to quickly put behind you and regroup/refocus for the next game. classic situation where a team let’s one game beat them twice.
but maxpreps is reporting west got blown out by rs, 36-7 ?
either way, for us it should be a very straightforward, no nonsense kind of week. coaches shouldn’t have any trouble getting the players full attention this week. rivalry game aside, it’s an absolute must win … even this early in the season. you start off 0-3 and the season can easily spiral and get away from you quickly.
Not to mention Hibriten hasn't lost to West since 2002. No sense in ending that streak now.
Good ball game last night. Both teams will need to tighten up the kickoff teams and ball security. Good luck with the rest of the season guys
i didn’t realize huss had a stable of athletes … and then last night he mentioned “it’s a track meet” … i’m sorry, come again ? over the last two decades god knows we havent always been the best team … but i can count the number of times on one hand when we weren’t the fastest team on the field
s*** happens …
ha i was on that william lenoir middle school soccer team that broke our streak of 100+ consecutive wins … it was a big deal all over the unifour … yeah, not something you want to put on the resume
what was the situation/atmosphere when we held a two td lead (21-7) ?
surely the staff noticed huss had speed and big strike/play potential
you’d think we would’ve tried to slow the game at that point. chew clock with sustained drives and then don’t give them anything cheap … make them have to drive the length of the field to score
I’ve seen Hibriten play several times over the last 30 years. Some big games too. Hibriten always has athletes but I’ve seen them play Freedom, Hickory, Newton, etc and have less speed than them on several occasions and sometimes more, not to mention the Shelby’s, Butlers, West Rowan’s, etc they’ve faced over the years.
My takeaway after watching the Panthers has always been their superiority and toughness in the trenches. They are extremely well coached and disciplined.
The truth is most teams in this state have athletes and speed and in 3A/4A it’s less of a factor.
What’s going on with the Panthers this year?
Honestly I figured Huss would lay down once they got behind 2 scores. Credit to them for not. Both teams had a couple time consuming drives but alot of big plays too. It was a back and forth game. Penalties and turnovers hurt both teams as well. It's kinda what you expect for the 2nd game of the year.
The trenches aren’t near where they were the last couple of years… Just a cycle where the size just isn’t there right now
