@Chopper747 Tarheel fan 1 is no longer impressed. Just 24 hrs ago, Monroe was his biggest concern. Following the games last night from his iPhone, he thought to himself, Monroe was overrated, and got exposed. Now, he’s sees BH vs Monroe as a real battle next week, a possible toss up.
As I said it's about schemes and match ups..
Teams struggle against offenses they dont usually see. Same way Reidsville struggled against ED in the title game. Same way Wallace struggled against Hertford's passing game. If you're not prepared or have not seen an offense before it can take 1 or 3 qtrs to get things together when you're NOT prepared.
Monroe offense still scored alot of points. Bunker Hill has a good defensive front, but the redhawks have seen their style of offense as well as Reidsvilles.
Monroe might have a hard time running initially but look for them to pull away in the 2nd half. They are usually a 2nd half team anyway. BH has a shot because they are at home, but if they are not on top of Monroe early by at least 3 TDs like they did against Burns it will be difficult.
I gaurantee if Monroe still had Charlotte Catholic on their schedule, they would have blown out West Lincoln.
