East Montgomery @ Albemarle

[sway1532]

Since no one wants to start a thread on this, suppose I will.

Albemarle Bull Puppies will come out the gate fired up, but can they maintain that energy? I hope so.

I know a lot of students come on these boards and read these post's, I'm not sure if any Albemarle kids do, but I know the coaches do. I just hope they had a good week at practice and we can switch up that direct snap wildcat and start playing some real football. But not only is that on the coach to have his team ready, it is also up to the players to learn and buy into the schema that the coach is trying to implement. We all know that most of those kids wouldn't be starters let alone on a varsity team besides maybe 1 or 2, but I hope those kids start turning those gears with this being the 4th game of the season.

I myself isn't looking for a win, I'm looking for competiveness. It's one thing to loose, and it's another thing to get your ass kicked, those are two different types of loses.

I believe East Montgomery will run the score up.

East Montgomery 65 Albemarle 0

I remember going to their place several years ago (Early 2000's) I believe. After we beat them, they ran off the field, and straight to the field house refusing to shake hands.

This young Albemarle just can't compete against the better varsity teams. Big test will come next week when we go to Chatham Central....

Coach Hammer will not run score up 8 quarter guys will get a lot of playing time just hope Mckinney gets enough reps to stay on his 237 yards per game average

EM over/under 28 pts end of 1st quarter?

 

[susancoleman]

Considering that Jackson averaged 20 yards per carry against us, for 171 yards and 3 tds. I am thinking EM will "run wild." The amazing thing about our WS score was that we won the time of possession by almost 10 minutes and still got beat 58-0. Whatever excuse someone can bring to the table is ridiculous. Here is the facts. After only 4 games, we officially have the worst AHS football team in 54 years. Fact 2, the kids aren't buying what Mason is selling. Its hard compete when the kids refuse to play for a coach. AHS has been young before and been through plenty of adversity in that a lotted time of 54 years. The bottom line is that there is NO excuse for expecting to get beat by 60+ against WS, let a lone EM. Call me negative but I predicted an upset win over Thomasville in week 1, only to be embarrassed ever since. We need to quit giving out participation trophies and participation excuses. I would love to be proven wrong and I will eat my crow in a heart beat if I am, but we are heading down the wrong path fast! In my eyes, from what I saw on Monday, our only win will be if we can finish the season.

The score Friday will be EM-60+ as many as Hammer decides to score with running clock midway through the second quarter, AHS-0

Gotta pad the stats do we? Hope he doesn't get hurt in what appears to be a meaningless game.

Great Job! At least we scored. However EM did put their Jv team in at half. Much respect to EM and great job to our guys for coming back out after halftime.

[WMFootballFanatic]

Thanks for the updates Susan and Buddy.

 

[Buddy Rich]

You're welcome....

 

[sway1532]

great job to our guys for coming back out after halftime.

Huh? Do you mean continued to play hard? Or came our fired up?...or didn't give up?

I am proud to be a Bulldog again.

This team don't have no quit. They came out first series drove the field and scored. On the second TD drive they drove down punched it in from the 3. They have a long way to go no doubt mainly they have to get stronger.

I'm proud of Albemarle and I'm proud of East Montgomery for having Good Sportsmanship. McKinney is a heck of a Player. I still don't understand Our non extra points. Explain that to Someone who would prefer to see 14 instead of 12. Those are always chip shots

Guys I want to mention something. One of the board Members got hit pretty hard last week for making a comment. Take this from a long time Albemarle Fan. When You are down and You don't Question things then You are out in space Somewhere. The Players are Young ( easy to understand) but the fundamentals of Football have been around since the turn of the Century

 

[sway1532]

I am proud to be a Bulldog again.

Lol....glad to have you back I guess.

Anyways, like I said, this team is Hella young. Someone said that they wouldn't be able to compete with the other J.V.'s in the conference, man please! They might not win, but theyou most defiantly can compete.

The little lift of momentum that an extra point gives. A Field goal gives a little lift. It's like a three compared to a 2 in basketball

 

[Buddy Rich]

Chatting with one of the coaches this morning. We were down to our 3rd string tailback and 2nd string fullback last night. The injury bug is alive and well.

 

[Sleehrat84]

Buddy did you get to the game?

 

[Buddy Rich]

No. Not quite up to it yet. Hope to make the next home game in 2 weeks.

 

[Sleehrat84]

I'll be there with you.

 

[Buddy Rich]

Great. Looking forward to it......

i agree, McKinney is a really good talent.

we don't have a kicker. We can barely kickoff. Much less perform a snap and hold effectively. I agree with the 2 point method.
