Burns at Hibriten

[DEER0526]

Not sure we “got outplayed”. They made a few more play but game was relatively closely played. Snap over punters head! We make that tackle inside 5, that’s a touchdown. We defend the 3rd and 20 or so pass on their scoring drive! Different game... Burns can say same thing on several plays, but to me getting outplayed is being pretty much dominated. Great game between 2 great teams we just happened to be on very short end. Definitely some questions on last drive play calling. This new conference will be stronger but it still won’t prepare us for Cleveland County football. You can’t make mistakes and you have to bring it on every possession.

I agree with what you said. I don't necessarily think Hibriten was outplayed. I think it really came down to experience. Burns had been in those types of games & knew how to respond, Hibriten didn't. That was the difference to me. Cleveland County football is just different.

I do think there is talent sitting that should be playing. I really question some of the play calling on offense Friday night, but we really got outplayed by a team that was better prepared for a challenging game. I agree that our schedule has hurt us due to the lack of getting hit back, a lack of defensive opposition that challenged us to score and simply playing hard for 4 quarters. I believe that a more difficult schedule coming up will better prepare our team for the playoffs.

and i’m sure it’s really difficult to run a 2 minute drill in practice when the kids have never felt what it’s like to actually be in that situation.

it did make me nervous to hear that starters weren’t playing 4Q in blowout games (which is every game). i i know you want to protect against injury, but in a short season getting enough reps to be playoff ready is a big deal.

Same issue next year for the Dogs as we will be in the most pitiful conference in the state.

True but will still have Shelby, Crest & Kings Mountain on the schedule. That's a season of preparation in itself.

omg they’re putting y’all and shelby in a split 2A/1A conference ? disrespectful

Don't misunderstand, when I say outplayed, I mean that Burns made a critical extra-point and Hibriten did not. I was at the game, and that's what I saw. Burns blocked the first attempt, then stuffed a run to stop the "go for two" attempt. Neither team was blown out, it was a nail-biter, for sure, but we were outplayed, hence the score, 13 to 12.

You got to remember! This is the same OC that had a 4,000 yard career rusher, that only gave him the ball 8x in the western finals against shelby 2yrs ago! He dosen't have a clue wht he's doing!ijs

burns (2A) has more kids than ashe (3A)

ADM no longer determines classification by itself. Only part of the formula now.

Shows just how close this game was. I'm curious what the difference in time of possession was... Seemed like Hibriten had the ball all night. Burns' scores were quick
