No holdings? Two touchdowns were called back due to holding calls.
Texting and driving? Just kidding long story short East QB wasn't at that level and East RB was hurtBoth teams played very well, I'm almost home and will give my breakdown soon
Texting and driving? Just kidding long story short East QB wasn't at that level and East RB was hurt
He was out for only a few plays. Came back on their next offensive series.What exactly happened to Beal? He came back in the game and looked fine to me.
Seems to be the MO for East every year in these games. So again, East is a good program but not at the elite level. It was probably good for them to have been in 4A this year. 4AA, with the teams in there, would have been even tougher for the Eagles.Started out strong, clearly could run the ball with success. Decent success slowing down the CC offense as well. TD right before the half really hurt. Constant penalties, along with the picks, were just too much to overcome. Kind of hard to believe we still had a chance late with all the mistakes. Hate it for the seniors, this team was capable, just didn't execute when it counted. Congrats to CC, classy program!
Dear ForsythCo,
Always love the coaches in the stands & critics during/after the game. Never fails regardless of the sport or age of the players....either the team played well or the coach is an idiot. You should never comment about what you don't know. Hate our boys lost, but easier to swallow when the opponent handles things the right way so congrats to Catholic. The EF coaching staff has done a fabulous job. One example is they had no business having the game in hand last year against MC, but game plan, gutsy coaching, and execution had them in a great spot to win. When anyone gets on a message board to bash those they "support", well let's just say that's not support and really just shows you think more of yourself and your opinion than those you have given your "loyalty" to back.
The game did not start well for Catholic. After a three and out EF was able to go right down the field and open up the game with about a 15yrd rushing TD off the left side of their line to make it 7-0.
The LT for EF was huge, one of the biggest I have ever seen. He could move some too, wasn't just standing there.
Catholic would answer thanks to two personal foul penalties as the Cougars scored on a screen pass to Milan Howard to knot it up at 7.
East Forsyth would answer with a FG after a penalty put them in 2nd and goal from the CC 18 yard line. Catholic's defense dd a really great job of containing East on offense for the most part.
Catholic would again answer Brigham got most of the yards on their next drive and Milan Howard punched it in from 9yrds out to give CC a 14-10 lead. Howard also went over 1000 yards in this game.
East Forsyth would drive right down the field and score again to make it 17-14 with about two minutes to play. Catholic would on their next drive have a 54yrd TD pass taken off the board on a holding call that I didn't see. However, karma came back around as the same kid who caught the pass that was brought back caught another TD, this one stood and Catholic went into the half up 21-17.
After the half CC was after it on defense sacking the EF QB and forcing a punt. On the ensuing EF possession Catholic would get their first pick of the night from Ben Brodowicz. From there Catholic would drive down to the 1 and punch it in to start the fourth quarter and go up 28-17.
EF would answer midway through the 4th to cut the lead to 28-24. Catholic would have a kickoff return for a TD called back on a holding call that I did not see. Refs had some questionable calls on both sides in this game. Then Catholic with 4 minutes left facing a 4th and 7 I think around the 45 of EF, Brian Jacobs who is a sophomore pulled it off and the Cougars ran another minute off the clock.
EF would get the ball back only to throw their second pick of the game this time to Jack Lowe.
East would get one more shot with just under a minute left, but Catholic's defense held.
It was a great game played by two classy programs. East players should hold their heads high, they fought all night long and have a lot to be proud of. Coach Willert has built a very very solid program over there and I have no doubt that they'll again be tough next year.
And now onto a home date with Dudley! Go Cougars!
I can criticize them because I watched the game just like everybody else and clearly seen the mistakes they made. So yes I can criticize them. Especially when those decision are the ones that cost them the game. Just because I'm not out there actually coaching don't mean I don't know football.
Would have liked to see more of the run game as it was successful all night (when we didn't get a holding call).
Congratulations......you know football. I suggest you get to work on this team thing because you obviously don't bash your own guys.
Fun Fact: This is Catholic's 7th straight regional final appearance, the last time they did not play in a regional final? 2009. Excellence.
THIS! This was probably the most frustrating part of the night. The fact that we didn't run more when it was so successful. I believe the first possession back from half time. We didn't even run. It's just so frustrating, especially when our QB was lobbing passes all night. I think he'll grow as a passer, but tonight just wasn't a good one for him. Catholic finally adjusted their play for his passing style. I'm actually shocked they didn't have more picks.
Either or will be a great game. A regional final at Keffer Stadium is something special. Especially since it's another Dudley/Catholic matchups which have all been classics.Congrats man. Do you think it's worth the drive to Charlotte next week for the game? I was thinking either the Vance/Page game or you guys and Dudley. I've seen every one play except Vance.
I took off work I have to go somewhere lol.
You should be able to get a seat if you get into the stadium by 715, I'd be more worried about Charlotte traffic and construction on 85 then I would getting a seat. Leave as early as you can.@CatholicCougs14 I too a am a Forsyth Co. dude and am thinking seriously about making trip to Charlotte next week. Heard great things about the atmosphere at Keefer but have never experienced it. Since I've been to Page I want to see what it's like at your venue. I've seen your stadium online but was asking do you guys expect standing room only for this gsme? Hate to get to Charlotte and can't get in.
