-VS- Gaffney:

Defense - 98%

Special Teams - 87%

Offense - 12%

Overall - 65%

Let's start with the offense... Too focused on a single receiver in the set. So focused that wide open receivers are not even noticed, yet we throw into double and triple coverage or just take a sack. Running game spends too much energy trying to get wide. Hit the gaps and go!

Special teams - One roughing call so not too bad. Personally, with all his bad kicks, I would have thought when he was backed up like that, set up a return... pull up and make sure we get good field position. Kicking game looked great, kick off return was great, even the hands team looked great on the onside kick.

Defense - one bad coverage mix up and one slip and fall, gave them most of their yards in two plays. I don't know if the defense could have played much better.

Overall - still too many penalty yards! Many from bad decisions and really sloppy playing. That has to tighten up or we will lose a game or two that we shouldn't lose. I still think we have two HUGE games ahead of us with Dorman and Spartanburg, but I think we can win those games if we make some better decisions and cut out penalties. If not, we could have a road playoff game in week one of the playoffs instead of a game or two at home!

Completely agree on everything. The running did however show some improvement. Rushed for 152 against a defense that hadn't allowed over 100 till Friday night. I believe we should use #35 more in the running game and use #3 in the pass game like we are.

I believe and hoping that Friday was a case of looking ahead plus coming off a bye week is tough for high school kids for some reason.

That was where we had the most success...

What was your take on Gaffney there 74 hate I missed getting to meet you although I did make a crazy move and went over to the Byrnes home side to chat was th B1 and darth rebel

Too much talent on the field to not be 3-2 or better...

Keep in mind, I have not seen the other four games, so take this with two grains of salt.

With Strickland at the helm: and yes, I was a Strickland fan from even before he took the job.
Union County - 21 Point win
Boiling Springs - about the same, 2's and 3's playing majority of second half keeps the score about where it was
Dorman - toss up
Brynes - toss up (especially the way we stunk it up out there)
Spartanburg - much closer, but I still give the edge to SHS.

Gaffney doesn't seem to be as fired up and excited on the field as I'm used to seeing.

I can agree with that 100%

Well Region play is here, maybe we see different teams now!

If I had to put a prediction in place for Friday night:
Rebels 42
Bulldogs 14
is what I want to see.

If $$$ was involved, I'd only give Boiling Springs 14.5 points

And for them sorry Injuns.... I mean for my Indian friends...
Gaffney 21
Nation Ford 7 {what is Nation Ford's mascot?}

If $$$ was involved, I'd only give Nation Ford 3.5 points

Yeah, I'm cheap when it comes to giving points!

Nations ford are the Falcons I believe. And I am like you stingy with points

Nation Ford Falcons!


They should have their Cheerleaders lead the team onto the field riding in a convertible Ford Falcon!
