Last time Pender beat WRH, Eanes was coaching the Patriots. Eanes got a top 5 program in 1a and has good athletes. Not sure they have enough. What y’all think?
Pender @ Wallace- Rose Hill
- Thread starter dogs79
- Start date
Got my eye on this matchup lol. Could be penders only loss in the regular season. If they win though talk about an upset
Much closer imo
Pender has had an open week to prapare for WRH. Eanes triple option requires a few good running backs. Running backs and receivers that can block. They have several backs with numerous carry’s. To be honest, Patriots don’t know what’s about to hit them Friday. They won’t stop WRH. I think Pender might have a couple break aways. I’ll go with what tigerpride said 55-14
It’s been hard to tell what Pender has this year from playing Lejune and Union..just watching them I believe they are better than last year..i know there running backs are good and there qb is really good and makes good decisions..i think it will be a lot closer than what most people think
One of my buddies kid is starting RB at Pender. He knows football and said they got some athletes, and their coach is a good coach at the 1a level. Think WRH will be to much for them, but wouldn't be surprised if it's 2 or 3 score game.
Pender has looked impressive so far this year. Granted the two opponents that they had were not the best. I think if they are going to win this game they need to grind out long methodical drives and keep that Wallace Rose Hill offense off the field because if it turns into a shootout I don't like penders chances
This one will be much closer than many think in my opinion. Still think the Dogs end up with the win.
Pender lost a lot from last year's team. Wallace takes this one by 20 plus
I agree with that!!! Rival games are always interesting!!
Option teams are hard to prepare for in a week of practice. The option tends to even things out for the team running it. If Wallace doesn't play assignment football they could get a surprise. Really do not know anything about Pender D, but the wingT is also tough to prepare for. Wallace wins but may be closer than expected.
Dogs79 where does Wallace play their games? May try to get off of my boat and see this one.
Dogs play at legion stadium located in town on main(41) located right next to hwy 55(restaurant)
Come on boatdude! Probly find somewhere else to hangout at stadium. All these coaches in the stands are very loud and has no respect for other fans, parents, teachers, family or coaches.
#55 for Pender is the real deal. Better keep an eye on that guy
Looks like a beast. Roster looks good. I may be underestimating Eanes team.
I'm expecting this to be a very old school fashion slugfest of a football game. When we played them last year in the Eastern final it was a very physical game.
Yes they are. Eanes built that program instantly his first stay at Pender and looks like they’re back this time. Pender hadn’t beaten WRH in about 30 years before he did. I think a 4-2-5 can stop his triple option with the athletes we have. I think we’ll cause some turnovers. Our guys are well coached also
WRH come ready to play, which mot will have them boys ready. WRH by 14+.
4--2-5? As a former option coach, you better have more than 6 men in the box if they can run it at all. They will not block the down linemen which means the play side of the line will release up to LB's. The FB and QB could have big games against that. The option equalizes athletes because it slows them down and forces them to play assignment football. Better put 7 or 8 in the box
I definitely don’t know what you know but 4/2/5 puts one and a half defensive players on the qb and same with pitch guy. Lb( Montgomery) on qb and hb. SS( Pearsall) on pitch guy first. FS on a dive to help qb and pitch. Corner playing man. Be honest with me, would that work

It will work. If I were the option team I would be glad to see that. I have four linemen blocking 2 backers and safety if needed. Corner is gone because receiver will run him off. Wing will block pitch read. I would take that and 3 or 4 yards all night. Key would be for those linemen to not let oline free release to backers. It's hard for a player to be responsible for two people. Slows them down
You definitely got to play your responsibility. Corner (Lonnie) definitely got receiver. They ot and end will try to double T. DE will play qb. Lb and safety has to get to line of scrimmage. Good conversation
Love talking real football! If they double the T the DE better be on dive. It depends on whether they run A gap dive or B gap dive. Do they run flex bone look or pro look?
I think the QB is the whole key with this offense . He can make it or break it. Wonder if he can throw the ball? If he can that makes it a different monster.
He has thrown the ball 2 times in first game and 4 in second. I guess enough to keep corner honest.
I was told they run flex bone. Friend told me he wouldn’t run 4/2/5 either. What you think WRH will do
I would run a 5 man front with 3 good quick linebackers and bump and run with my corners . I think this will shut down that offence. You could also run a 44 and walk the two outside backers up and still play bump and run. It will be hard to run against either defense.
That we got is quick linebackers. Haven’t seen WRH with a five front but then again we haven’t played Pender
I'm pretty sure Wallace coaches know how to defend the option. Y'all don't really think this is going to be a real close game do you?
