Atlantic Central Football Conference/Independents

[HSCTiger fan]

Welcome Tiger fans - having some chatter on the board makes this much more fun.  Won't pose as an expert on your team as I haven't seen film, but from comments here and a cursory review of your stats it would appear the best chance for HSC's success would be to put together a solid passing game and control time of possession to keep Wesley's offense off the field.  Wesley's secondary can be vulnerable if the D-Line doesn't get good pressure, but has something of a "bend, don't break" philosophy.   Bring it on, and may the best team win. 

We are not delusional enough to think we have the best team. So we hope the next to best team wins!   We don't have a shot unless we can create (many) turnovers on defense and play perfect on offense. Then it might be close.  I agree that our best defense will be to keep the Wesley offense off the field. Sounds so easy. But with the defense you guys have easier said than done.

H-SC's best chance to win is for Wesley to pull one of it's occasional implosions. The Tigers are a nice team, Nance is very good, although he's had a few bad games, but as many have said they aren't going to win straight up against Wesley. Penalties, turnovers, and poor execution are what H-SC needs from Wesley. Whether they get it, who knows. Walker didn't play much against R-MC. If he sits again, or is not as his best, this game will be much less entertaining...

Interview with Coach Drass before H-SC.

So excited for playoff football.

Watching the R-MC vs. H-SC game again.

Best radio quote ever when R-MC (Byrd) scores their second TD in the game (3rdQ):

"... he showed almost no speed, but gets in for the touchdown..."

Nice.

Ahhh!  Thanks for the heads up on the video.  I am watching it now.

Heading to Dover soon. See you all there!

safe travels waterboy.  going to be a little chilly tomorrow.

Game day.  Bright sunshine with a sharp chill in the air.  I am sure the wind is blowing in Dover as it always does.  Great day for a football game.  Play mistake free and avoid the penalty bug and I think Wesley wins this game handily, 40 - 50 to 7 - 14.  I watched the first half of the Sydney/Macon game and HSC looks really beat up.  If their top receiver and defensive players can not go today the task will be that much harder.  See you at the game.

Seems like just yesterday it was August and we were chomping at the bit to get the season started. Think we've all been very pleased with what we've seen since then and are ready to get this post season off to a strong start. Let's go Wesley!

[Teamski]

It's all in the hands of the Wolverines now.  We can only hope and cheer that they can finally break the semi-finals duck this year.  Chapter 1 starts today.

Well, on the regular clock the first quarter took 50 mins.  I am sure it seemed longer than that for HSC.  Total domination in the first quarter with 2 pick 6's and long pass/run plays to run out to a 42 - 0 lead.  Boredom from there.  An observation I made before the game that is either very significant/or means nothing, but with the way the game started I think in means something.  HSC finished there pregame warm up with 30 mins still left on the clock before the start of the game.  They come out totally flat and get run over.  Passes were under thrown all day by Nance leading to several of the pickoffs.  2 of the ints were on screen passes.  On to next week which will not be anymore challenging.  Offense looked out of sorts after the first quarter which may have been caused by the score at that point.

[Teamski]

I agree.  I think the absurd scoring in the first quarter screwed up the offensive tempo for Wesley.  Strange, strange game.  I have never seen Wesley hang 42 points on another team in a single quarter like that.  And you are correct, that was one LONG game!!!  I didn't like seeing Nance having to be helped off the field either.  He is a pretty good QB.

Congrats on the win, Wesley.  I saw the score at 35-0 (I think) while at the UMHB game.  Good luck in the next round.
