Which part of your defense struggles the most? If you can stop the run, you will have a chance. If your run defense is weak, it won’t be a good night. BH can pass, but their run game is lethal.
Round 2: Burns at Bunker Hill
- Thread starter notanyonesfan
- Start date
We do better If we can commit to one or the other. I feel like we’re better against the run for sure. We got gashed against Shelby but also had players dropping like fleas due to injury and cramps.
This is the game I wanted over a couple other options. I feel better about stopping a run dominant team.

Willis is slippery even when wrap him up it's like he has baby oil all over him. Gotta take those legs out and hit him in the mouth hard.
Agreed. I know it's PLP but their rb had 2400 yards all season and I think had less than 100 against us. They were able to throw it though. But we sold out on the run most of the night. Shelby can beat you running or throwing so that was tough. If I was a betting man, I'd say we will probably do something similar this week and make sure we stop the run and try to play better pass defense this week. I still don't think BH will stop our offense. It will be high scoring for sure.
My brother got a $45.00 parking ticket one year from Shelby's finest at a Shelby football game. He drove back down a day or so later and paid the fine in pennies. He just mentioned that over the weekend and laughed when the clerk told him she couldn't take the payment in coin. He said he laughed and walked away and told her to do what she needed to do, but that was how he was rewarding their stupid greed.
I will say one thing PLP RB isn’t close to Willis level . We are one of the most balanced teams probably in 2A we take what the defense gives
He just going to eat it and keep going when he gets hit in the mouth the kids just a different breed
I have no doubt that you are correct. I was just saying that when we sell out for a pass or a run, we tend to defend that aspect very well but are susceptible to the other. That being said, we have our own RB that we're very proud of and you better prepare for. Not to mention a Gardner Webb commit at QB. We will score, I promise. The big question is, can we keep you from scoring more.
I almost want to send him $45 for his trouble.
Shelby has good PARKING it's the getting OUT that SUCKS.
I knew you Ducks were law breakers... I swear
I’m assuming that Willis is apart of that secondary?
I can imagine if he made a bad play and the coach says "whatchu thinkin about Willis?"

Besides the point, we have been known to cause minor difficulties at times.I knew you Ducks were law breakers... I swear
The POPO picked out his car and the other 35 were just fine. It was Stupid!, But again we didn't expect the issue to begin with.
Whoever he is locked up on will run a post as fast and as far as they can every snap to tire him out.
Probably the film I saw. He was on secondary when I watched film but that’s cool too. I have a feeling the moon may be blue Friday. Should be a fun matchup.
I got Bunker Hill winning this one but I also see this as a tossup. It will be a good game for fans to watch.
Burns Bulldog/Bunker HIll Bears thread full of animal smilies
There is a catchy bowl name in here some where that just needs to be fleshed out

Sounds like The Furry Bowl to me.
What’s the chance the game is moved to Thursday? I seen where Shelby moved theirs to Thursday. Didn’t know y’all was scared of the rain also? Lol
Burns won that Hurricane Hugo game, 12-7 I believe. I was in the fifth grade and was at the game and that was our first win over Shelby in like six or seven seasons. Only our second or third ever. We scored a touchdown in the last minute of the game to win it.
Unfortunately losses at KM and South Point cost us conference and we ended up losing at KM in the playoffs. We won a share of conference in 1994 when we won state and finally won an outright conference championship in 2011.
I always love your posts @Lincolnton . Glad you attended that game.
Bulldogs herded goats, couldnt herd the rams last year. Now they're attempting to push back bears...
still looking for a catchy bowl name, Bulldog goat gate Bear Bowl?

But do y'all ever have any big games?
Asking for a friend from Reidsville.
Who am I kidding. Closest I ever came to making a friend in Reidsville was the old guy who let us into the home bathrooms 20 minutes after the gates opened, and a 9 hour drive to our "western" opponent.
My comment was purely for comic value.
I do have an interesting Bunker Hill story, while we wait to see if they change their game time, too.
A few years back, at BH...first game there in years. Wolves had y'all covered that night. I hadda visit the men's room.
As I entered, I noted a foul smell, but that happens sometimes. I was the only person in there, and scanned for the urinals, which were to my right. That's when I noted it.
There, on the floor, was a pair of plaid boxer shorts. They had been abandoned, just outside the full-service stall. The boxers laid amongst a pile of human (I assumed) fecal matter, that most resembled to me, a can of Dinty Moore beef stew. It was appropriately chunky and thick.
My immediate reaction was to run, because I was about to heave. But I just knew someone was gonna come in and name me as a suspect if I ran away. Besides, I had to go. I made the decision to visit the urinal, and so I took one big deep, foul, humid breath, and held it while I evacuated my bladder.
I ran outta breath before I was done, but made a business decision and headed out the door after zipping up. I passed someone on the way out, but I didn't make eye contact. As I gulped air, I heard someone cursing as I stepped back into the fresh, cool, refreshing outdoors, and quickly made for the bleachers before I could be blamed.
On the way, I noted a dude wearing a red sweater draped over his backside, like the preppies in the 80s. I found out later that he was the perpetrator. He'd had a colonic explosion
on the way into the stall, and apparently went inside and kicked the evidence out as he cleaned up!
I've since spoken to the guy who drove the poor fellow home and confirmed the story. They drove home with the windows down that night.
I never think of Bunker Hill without that memory. No offense, Bears. It was Wolf on Wolf crime. I also never pass a can of Dinty Moore Beef Stew in a store without remembering this event.
*The story would be better if I had related the pile I saw to Bunker Hill Beef Stew, but sadly Dinty Moore was what came to mind that night, and is how I've told the story since then.
Also, I have lost my blood pressure medicine 3x this week, only to find it each time in the same place I put it for safekeeping. I wish we could choose which memories we keep, lol.
And now, back to the football talk.
