South Region playoffs

[old ends]

I'm still kinda shocked at the woopin' that Wesley got.  I fully expected the Wolverines to go in and clash hard with MHB.  That obviously didn't happen.

Turnovers got ya. How many points did MHBU get from those turnover's that could have gone to Wesley, if they kept the ball???

[crufootball]

I believe the Cru got 35 points off of the turnovers and 3 more on a turnover on downs.

I was wondering, in the Wesley stats it shows that #52 Carlos James was ejected from the game. Was he the player that kicked one of our players on a kickoff return? I was not aware that player received any official punishment but I did hear that Coach Drass took him out of the game?

[wesleydad]

crufootball, he was the player removed by the coach.  not sure why it says he was ejected since there was no flag on the play.  35 pts off of turnovers, that will do you in everytime.

And this wasn't the first year where turnovers curtailed the Wolverine season.  Last year was just as bad.  If they could keep that ball off the ground, they would of been in a far better position, pure and simple.

Two of the Wesley fumbles were caused by good tackles.  The killer was when the QB looked like he tried to lateral as he was being hit.  Henry returned that fumble 80 yards.  Wesley might have gotten points on that drive if the QB doesn't try to pitch.  That was a very big play in the game.

thanks wesleydad, i thought that was the case. Kudos to Coach for taking care of the problem on his on.

Glad to hear the trip home was a good one for you and I am glad your son got to get on the field in his last game. I obviously don't know what went on but I was shocked midway through the season when I heard he was not playing. He was a great player both as a receiver and quarterback.

yep 35 points off turn overs, wont help you get a win. That was the WORST game since Del Val for the Wolverines, and that was really bad. UMHB played excellently and Wesley would have had to have played a MUCH better game to knock off the Cru. A Jax doesnt seem to hold onto the ball in the beginning of games for some reason. Blugis seemed to be kicking better, from what I heard. UMHB was just a better team in that game.

Anyway, since my Wolverines are out of the playoffs, I would like to say go Cru! You guys can make the South Region proud.

As always Go Wesley and Go Cru!

[wesleydad]

crufootball, thanks for the compliments.  you and many others were shocked by the way things went this year.  as far as what went on, i have some information and i have some opinions, neither of which matters now because it is over.  he had an excellent career and has nothing to hang his head over.  jason was complimented as much this year for how he handled the situation as he was when he played receiver or QB.  the facts prove that the team was better last year  against a tougher schedule than it was this year, enough said.  he continued to do what was asked of him eventhough he was very disappointed with the situation, always a team player.  made his mom and i proud.

Do any of you on here know where to find some Washington and Jefferson video?  Our CBS affiliate carries some, but I can't find a station in Virginia that carries W&J video.

[Bob.Gregg]

W&J isn't in Virginia.

It's in Pennsylvania, southwest of Pittsburgh.

But don't expect to find any video there either.
If it's not D-I or NFL, or Friday night high school (with promo signs), you'll be lucky to find the scores.

I do not think that Washington and Jefferson have faced a defense anywhere close to the caliber of Mary Hardin-Baylor's defense. Bobby Swallow is a great quarter-back and thoroughly deserving of his Second Team Preseason All-American honor. 275-413 passing for 3,551 yards and 36 touchdowns on the
season is pretty impressive. But I can't help but think if he has already been sacked 25 times this season he may be in trouble today, also expect the 5 INTs on the season number to go up. All the Saenz point to a big win for the Cru today. Call it confident, cocky, arrogant, dishing crow, but I will be surprised if the Cru does not win by three touchdowns today. Sure W&J is in the top 8 out of 239 teams in Division III (thats the top 3.35% of the DIII class) and had to be a good team to get here but in my opinion they are nowhere near UMHB's level and are going to struggle as in the past with a Texas team.

[Teamski]

   Gah..... Well, it's looking quite ugly for W&J.  It's already 21-0 with 7 minutes left in the first quarter.   It's going to be a very long game.
