Ok as for my take on this game. The turning point was when May River blocked Beaufort's punt right before the half and tied the game 14-14 at the half. Beaufort had a 14-0 lead after the first Quarter of action. Beaufort's Punter took way too long to kick the football. He needs to kick the ball faster. I told someone earlier this season that he takes too long to kick the ball and sure enough it came back to haunt us. If the Sharks didn't block that punt then Beaufort would have won that game.
I want to say also, that what is wrong with the Eagles Defense? Like I said all week everyone knew that May River is a running team and their best runner is their QB. But for some reason, Beaufort's Defense could not stop him from having a big night running the football. The Eagles have one of the best DL in the State but they could not get to the Sharks QB for much of the game. Beaufort has to get better at stopping the run and especially at stopping the Opposing Teams QB from running the football.
With all that being said, what is wrong with Beaufort's Offense? The Eagles Offense has only scored 37 points in the last 2 weeks. Beaufort's Offense started out this game fast with 2 TDS in the first quarter but then faltered the rest of the game besides scoring a late TD. The Eagles Offense started out the season great but has not played up to their potential the last month or so. I don't know what's going on with them but there is definitely something. Beaufort's good WR Zyrin Odom was completely shut out in this game. The Eagles will have to get him more involved with the Offense in Future Games.
I have faith in Beaufort that they will still have a great year this season. This Team is full of potential. But all of the players will have to gel together and cut out the mistakes. A team is supposed to get better as the season goes along. But for some reason, it isn't happening with My Eagles. I really hope that changes soon. I really hope that My Eagles have a great week at practice and will hopefully win these last 2 regular season games pretty handily. That way they will have great momentum going into the playoffs.
I want to say that I was so happy to see the Huge Crowd at the game. Beaufort High School is making some money this year. I am so glad about that. But I really wish that My Eagles could have won this game on Senior Night. This was the 1st Region Loss for Coach Lybrand in his 3rd year here at Beaufort.
I am down in the dumps after this loss. But I do think Beaufort will regroup and get a Big Win over Bluffton next week. Come on Eagles!!!! Let's Finish up the season strong!!!!
GO BEAUFORT EAGLES!!!!
