Salem vs Millbrook next week
- Thread starter oldeSalem
- Start date
The radio commentators didn't even know the team were defending state champs or runners up to Lake Taylor the year before. Glad they don't do their homework because it's going to be a rude awakening walking to into Salem stadium and the entire atmosphere. I don't think they get it.
It makes no difference what the radio people say. Why does that matter so much to you?
Salem only needs to shut down Savon Smith on the outside , or limit his long runs to just a handful, to win. A solid defense will keep Kier in check between the tackles, and Millbrook's QB is not capable of picking up enough slack to overcome their outside runs being limited. Which is exactly what Woodgrove did to Millbrook.
Salem Spartans, Seven (7) time State Champs. Yea,,,we play a little football down here in the 540!
Oh boy another new account right at playoff time.
Smith is all Millbrook has - they are not very good up front. Salem's coaching staff will all but erase Smith (I think he's good enough to hit a few - we will see if they are homeruns or doubles - either way it won't be enough) with a solid gameplan. Salem offense with roll over Millbrook's defense. Salem 49 Millbrook 14.
Millbrook has lost just one game. They lost to the number one ranked team in the West. Salem will give them the respect they deserve. Fans should also
I'm not buying Millbrook is "not that good". I agree with you SouthbottomU. I think Salem wins this game but anything can happen.
Millbrook has more than just Smith (he's a very special player and only a sophomore) PK Kier a UVA commit rushed for 200 yds last night. I would say Kier would be thunder and Smith would be lightning. The defense would have to play incredible to beat Salem they were missing the three leading tacklers last night do to injury. SMITH has a combination of speed, agility and power that blows my mind...For a small guy he's hard to tackle.
Good Luck Millbrook, you aren't getting much respect, maybe you can use some of this for inspiration.
Yeah....., Woodgrove also happens to be in "540" for what it is worth.....
Wm. Byrd also 540! Is that supposed to intimidate other teams? 
Louisa and Fredericksburg/Spotsylvania are too.
Especially when anyone plays Salem
I think what you really need to look at is who Millbrook beat this year. Their signature win was against a young Sherando team riddled with injuries to key players. I had predicted Millbrook to blow Sherando out - and that didn't happen. Sherando outplayed Millbrook for a vast majority of that game - Special teams killed Sherando that night and had it not been for big special teams plays then Sherando wins that game by 3 tds. And Sherando was a 5-5 team. So unless the teams from the Lynchburg/Roanoke area are down this year - Salem will have no problem putting it to Millbrook.
Louisa was expected to make a deep playoff run before injuries got to them,Wasn't Lousia signature win was a 1point win aganist Sherando.We talked up Lousia for what they did early this year But when a Millbrook team beat Sherando it was because of special teams and Sherando was young.Sherando lost to some very good teams this year and it doesn't mean we should take anything away from Millbrook for beating them.Other than Lousia the teams Sherando loss to is 43-1 and the 1 game Millbrook loss to was to underfeated Woodgrove.I think Sherando would've beaten 50% of the teams thats in the playoffs. I think Salem will beat Millbrook but to discredit them aganist Salem could be a mistake.
I wholeheartedly agree. You have to stop Smith AND Kier to beat Millbrook. Most teams have focused on Kier. Smith came out of nowhere this year. That kid is the real deal.
