Remember it was just a scrimmage last week. All the plays were vanilla and they were switching people in and out the entire time. Have some faith.GwoodEagle2k1 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 15, 2023 6:28 pmNot trying to disrespect my school but I'd be surprised if we won this one. Flora is going to get physical due to their size and Greenwoods lack there of. If we can stop the run we'll have a shot. Neither one of Flora's QBs scare me throwing the ball. Unfortunately, they have a bunch of talent around them and a big o line. Greenwood has talented athletes but need to get their weight up. I mean you're 5'10 160 and the guy across from you is 6'2 215..... Unless the bigger guy is soft, what do you think will happen? Not trying to be negative, just being real. I'm hoping I'm wrong and have to come on here next week and apologize to all the players and coaches! I really hope so but I doubt it.
We'll see ....
I think people over exaggerate on size. None of the most recent championship teams were huge either. I watched that scrimmage video from beginning to end. While I can't predict the outcome I can say they don't look as good as last year. And this time Greenwood is at home. Some of those kids at Greenwood are bigger than you think. And they are definitely strong and conditioned.GwoodEagle2k1 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 15, 2023 6:28 pmNot trying to disrespect my school but I'd be surprised if we won this one.

That was even true in my time. And some of those teams had undefeated regular seasons. Sometimes it's about conditioning, strength, hard work; and determination.
Well as I said, I apologize to all the players and coaches for selling y'all short! Not sure what or who I was watching last year but this Greenwood team I saw tonight looked more like a traditional Greenwood team. I was most impressed by how they competed physically. Definitely like the offense and what they did in the first half. Never really got in rhythm in the second half after flora made some adjustments. I just attribute that to growing pains.eagle93 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 18, 2023 12:11 amI think people over exaggerate on size. None of the most recent championship teams were huge either.

I was just simply saying. You can't just look at size or judge things based on a previous season. I watched AC scrimmage Timberland. I didn't know for sure if Greenwood would win, but I definitely knew they could win after seeing that scrimmage. This game really shouldn't have been this close. They left at least 2 TDs on the field that were right at the goal line. The play calling got a little less aggressive when the got up 24-7 and the defense probably relaxed a little too much and that allowed them to claw back in it. Have to finish. The Greenwood QB is only 14. He's going to get even better and he's already good.GwoodEagle2k1 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 19, 2023 12:29 amWell as I said, I apologize to all the players and coaches for selling y'all short!

Eagle 93 they are definitely strong and conditioned as you said. Now I can be a little optimistic as they move forward. Hopefully we continue to get better so we can compete. AC flora definitely a worthy opponent. Good team win.
