Greene Central 2-3 vs SW Edgecombe 3-2
- Thread starter SWE'98
- Start date
SWE takes the opening drive down the field for a 1 yard TD run. XP is no good.
SWE 6 GC 0
SWE 6 GC 0
The Cougar run defense continues to allow massive ypc. I'd guess 8 yards a run. And on 4th and 2 from own 17, SWE is drawn offsides for a free first down. The next play, GC punches it in.
SWE 6 GC 7
SWE 6 GC 7
First play, two receivers open on sideline, but the pass is well short and intercepted at the GC 20.

GC returns short kick to own 35. First return by either team that wasn't a big run.
According to a friend that has a son on the team, they had a few key players graduate and then a few have been suspended due to a fight a game or two ago. He didn’t seem to have as high of expectations for the team as last year.
That's a shame. My wife graduated from GC, so she was excited about last year's team and the future. She's not too happy right now. Guess I won't be getting any tonight😂
I do believe we will finish the regular season with a winning record.
SWE can do nothing with the turnover, resulting in the first punt of the game. Excellent punt to the 10. The receiver bobbles it. Ball recovered by SWE!

As for this game, GC would be in it if it wasn't for turning the ball over. Interceptions and lost fumbles are killing them. They aren't this bad on non turnover plays.
Yep. They moved the ball well. I'd love to see our defense switch into a 4-4. The 5-3 is ok, except when our outside lb has to cover a twin set leaving only 2 backers. Their tackle would crack block linebacker and the lead back would block the end. If our end would set the edge the back cuts inside into a gaping hole, and our safety should be there, should, but it's not happening, just like in the second half of the Tarboro game. When our d.e. goes inside, the outside is nothing but green grass for at least 6-8 yards, and our defense doesn't tackle all that well. Too many arm tackles or just getting whiffed. I will say we have improved on game situations knowing who is supposed to be on the field. It didn't look like the clown show like the Tarboro game with players running on late, or having to run a player off because we have too many players on the field. And I'll give a shout out to both bands. Both sounded great and the kids looked like they were having a blast.
What did you think about the 90 yard fumble return that was overturned? Backwards pass? It looked at least lateral to me. Definitely wasn't forward. Either way, the defender did exactly what he was supposed to do. No whistle. Pick it up and run.
It was close, but I think it was forward. Our linebacker even picked up the ball and stopped thinking the same thing. When the whistle didn't blow he took off. On the intentional grounding call, it was waved off and GC took the offensive pass interference, which is interesting due to the fact the ball was completely uncatchable by anybody, even on the GC sideline.
West craven will be the toughest game rest of the season til playoffs start for SWE. Future looks bright.
