I watched 96 middle school play*Topcat* wrote: ↑Sat Oct 28, 2023 11:48 amIt was a good effort by 96. Their game plan was clearly to shorten game, run clock, they trudged it pretty good between the 20s but always were thwarted after that. Atown had only 3 possessions the entire first half, so obviously game plan was working. It was not a win the game plan but it certainly kept score down for a while. I think we aided in the 96 cause somewhat by seemingly refusing to pop a few downfield passes, we have been doing that well but for some unknown reason, on this night, with 96 obviously crowding the box, we just refused to attempt, especially last drive before half. Over 2 minutes and 3 TOs and we just wasted that drive. 96 going for it twice on 4th down in their own territory early on was not smart. On the other hand, twice on 4th and one, we punted, which was ultra conservative IMO. In the end, the sheer talent and speed of Abbeville took over, 96 wore down, and it was all Panthers. 96 has some really good players, they just need more numbers. This Abbeville team has great potential, blistering speed, wish we would stretch the field more, utilizing that speed to it's fullest, as we have at times. It's going to get interesting about the 3rd round.
