First time watching both teams play calling and offense not good on either side. Got to clean up the penalties for MA. Both defenses were good.
MA @ STARMOUNT - Sat at 7
- Thread starter gdawg74
- Start date
Reading what you just said is what is what i have said we should do more of the last few years and look at what it got us this year another confrence championship
I'm not sure they represent the west unless they get lot better on offense. #4 is 75 percent of the offense and QB and receivers not on same page
MA has no discipline! MA defense is legit offense makes too many mistakes and penalties. Starmount good but this should been MA by 21
Stm qb #1 was wore out he ran for his life all night.
Rough, it's just that both defenses are that good. You and some others were thinking that Mt Airy was gonna win by 20-30 points "Starmount had no chance" as you said. I told y'all this would be a close game. Buzz is the only Mt Airy poster who understood. I predicted Starmount by 7 and I still believe that is accurate. Our Offensive Coordinator is an arena football coach. He's not used to High school play calling especially facing a defensive line like Mt Airy. If he has learned Starmount will win in a rematch.
I knew this would be a defensive game. Some people were predicting a 14-7 type game. The kids knew that

Starmount had their chances early on and didn't capitalize. Never understood what Starmount was trying to do on offense.
I predicted a close MA win didn't think it'd be by 3 though. I almost expect a rematch in the playoffs. And that should be a good one.
You and several other former college players on our sideline. I just wish Coach Pardue had took over the offense during this game.
I'm proud of the Rams and the defense
The radio station had the Rams with 125 total yards, the Bears 257 yards, and Martin had around 165 or maybe 175 of that. That may be unofficial as they could have missed something. I did not keep up with the Rams penalties but the Bears had at least 75 yards in penalties and a long TD called back.
First time I've seen either team playjusts year. I don't think that's the case. I just think that the bears are a lot worse on offense than they were last year. I don't recall saying they had no chance but if I did I guess it was because I was going on what I saw the last 2 years. It's definitely not the smash mouth football that they played those two years. But who knows.
He's an absolute unit. Just a sophomore too. He can run the ball too. Missed opportunity not letting him run some.
#15 Linebacker with the interception is just a sophomore too. Other linebacker is a Junior.
Good game between two good programs. Felt like a playoff game!
Rams played hard and didn’t give up and kept fighting to the end.
Maybe we will have round 2 in the playoffs.

Mount Airy is looking like another undefeated season and Starmount looks to win the rest of their games. I see no one beating either team.
The other two teams with over 800 wins are Shelby, and Reidsville.....congrats to the Granite Bears (at least that's what they were known as when I was in high school....decades ago).................................

Hard to believe the season is over halfway through with only 4 games remaining.
With that said, why did MA seemed so disorganized? Between players not being on the field when they were supposed to be or too many in one case. They didn't seem to have their heads in the game from the get go. Practically give a 7 point handicap to start the game. QB and WRs aren't together. Pitches being made haphazardly or fumbled. If they don't get focused they are going to have nothing to blame but lack of focus and leaving something in the tank. Regret is a hell of thing, especially when the ability is all there.
Starmount played well defensively, not sure about the offense. They seem to have the pieces there, but struggled tonight. Some of that is MA defense, some is their plays. MA defense is still top tier even if I do think they are a bit more bending this year.
Still think MA is the better team by couple touchdowns if both play their best ball, but that's just my opinion. They just seemed to control the game even with all the penalties and mistakes. I can't say I really enjoyed this game. I hope they do rematch and we get best both have to offer. I don't think we saw that tonight from either.

I agree. It looks like they were in some kind of zone and they just let the one guy rode and ride and run right through them nobody even covered him. I think that was like a 70 yd play. Which is scary that The Rams only had 127 yards of offense. After that it looks like the bears settled in pretty good. Rams did a really good job on defense. They made the bears earn everything. Of course I think there were two touchdowns or two long plays that were called back. I always disagree with holding calls when the ball is 20 yards down the field. That's stupid. But if they were holding they were holding. I agree with you they look very bad on offense. They won't win it or even get to it if they keep playing like that on offense.
