South Willy

Are prayers are with your son and family, we pray for a great surgical outcome and a speedy recovery.

The season is winding to a close with Thiel this week then the President's. It would be great to win out, but we too, have plenty of players injured so it is going to take an all out effort by each and every player on the field to make it happen.

Good luck to all this weekend!

South Willy,

Well that kind of explains the fake punt. It really shifted the momentum back our way for a little. Your defense had a great day against us. They put plenty of pressure on our quarterback and forced some key fumbles. After the first fumble one of the kids on defense came running over to the bench exclaiming how we were not protecting the ball. You also took full advantage of our quarterback's hesitancy to throw the ball away under pressure. (A private beef of mine at the beginning of the season, but they had been getting better about it.)

I wish you all the best for the remainder of your season. Your team was much better than their record and the win against Waynesburg should be a big confidence booster for them.

Go Jackets!

Congrat's to the Bison's, they played the full 4 quarters of football and came away with the win. My Waynesburg crew looked like they were looking ahead to next week's game. We went back to turning the ball over (3 fumbles and 2 interceptions). You can't give any other team that many chances and expect to win games.

I did wonder about the fake punt that Bethany called that really let Waynesburg back into the game?? It seemed like a chancy call at best.

(Trying to get away from the press box discussion.)

Spikegrouchy, I was at today's game and the score says that Westminster was terrible, but they really weren't. The interceptions killed them especially the 2 that were run back for touchdowns.

I will say that this was the best game I've seen Waynesburg play this year. Both the offense and defense looked good.

I hear that Heller is still taking classes at Waynesburg.

Waynesburg looked much better defensively against STV this week. Offensively they still were hit and miss, but we did complete some passes to some different people! Waynesburg has the bye this week which coincides with my work schedule nicely.

I'll ask around and see if I can find out. I feel bad for the kid, but he needs some head tightening from someone (and it would be better to do it on his own).  Waynesburg definitely has some work to do if they want to make the post season.

Their defense needs to start playing hard right after the national athem instead of waiting 25 minutes like they have the last 2 home games! And they need to quit turning the ball over. You don't win many games when you're on the wrong side of the turnover ratio.

Hoping for a great game against St. Vincent this weekend before the bye.

Becker looks to be a good running back, but doesn't really have the moves that Heller did. But as I recall before the season started, Heller was looking to move to Slippery Rock and I have also heard a rumor about Mount Union.

I just know in the first game he missed picking up the blitzing back 5 times. Then he would slap himself in the helmet for blowing his assignment.  We turned the ball over 3 times yesterday, 2 more interceptions and a fumble. It looks like they are getting gunshy about throwing the ball now judging by the number of times it was 3rd and long and they tried running the ball.

Well there was that summer passing league....

It just looked like there were plenty of mental errors that really cost Waynesburg the game.  You just can't keep giving the ball back to the other team and expect to win games.

I'm excited about this weeks game (Heller or not!). I think the teams should be better prepared now, both mentally and phyiscally. Enjoy the game SaintsFan if you are going to be there! I plan on  it win, lose or draw.

This is my first year watching D3 football. I didn't know what to expect at first, but I do admit to being a little disappointed. I attended the Waynesburg vs Wooster game and it looked much like a scrimmage. I'm not sure that camp is long enough to get the athletes ready. Even high school gets 2 weeks of camp.

Just judging by general confusion on the field.
