What I meant by not running the ball is not running it very efficiently for high school. Look how many attempts that it took to get that. 41 attempts(total) for 208 yards. He wasn't breaking off those long plays like before.
Yes and one of them was a score. 17-14 game. So that score is the difference in the game
I 100% agree with this logic. If Mt Airy had actually scored 14-21 more points than Starmount, they would have definitely won by more points.
You know something? Mt Airy only scored in the first half 🤷🤦 Do you see any logic in what you posted? You know what else. Mt Airy is holding on the majority of their plays. They've did this for many years against very good teams and aren't called for it near as much as they should. What does that tell you? Yeah that's right, they're getting beat.
It tells me you are criticizing the refs because they didn’t see it the way you did. I guess you also think they held their way to two state championships the llast two years.
lol, Starmount had a 1st and goal at the Bears 2-yard line I believe, in the 3rd Qtr, and the Bears pushed them back to the 4 or 6-yard line with them having 4 downs to put it in from the 2 yd. line and then the Bears took over because the Rams could not put it in. Bears won so stop crying, no one picked Starmount to win but maybe you. Move on is the best we can do !
I don't think you were at the game. Starmount was at about the half yard line and had an illegal procedure that backed them up. The QB stumbled into the back of the center by accident resulting in the flag.
I'm not criticizing the refs. It is what it is. Nor am I saying that Starmount didn't hold some. Mt Airy has a long history of this in competitive games. Everyone knows it. My criticism is with a few that thinks that just because you score a touchdown on a penalty that that makes you "14-21 points better". It's comical and nonsense. This is the exact same thing that was said about the Mitchell game 3-4 years ago.
I'm not saying that Starmount didn't hold a player like 22 some. Like I said players hold when they get beat. That does not negate the fact that the holding was almost entirely done by Mt Airy.
I respect your opinion as a fan of Mt Airy. Tough defensive pressure makes many offenses make mistakes. I don't think either team got to do what they wanted to on offense because of it and have room for improvement. I agree with you about the championship mentality and that's something they've earned.
This is why I expected MA to win. This is not the first time they have been in a big game. The goal line stand/illegal procedure series of events was proof of that. One team executed and the other tripped up when it mattered most.
