The recent trend is to have Mallard Creek badly overhyped in pre-season national polls for some reason, but that's not really Mallard Creek's fault.Don't make excuses. MC was supposed to be the 10th best team in the nation according to some polls and I think USA today had them # 5.....
YOU GUYS DO KNOW that we didn't even play our 4 star QB that just transferred this week?DUDE in the 2nd half our defense had them bottled Sorry. Can't apologize. The officials did make some bad calls but I felt like they helped our offense. The defense was playing lights out and dare I say playing MORE physical than Mallard Creek. Somebody needs to give that Nasty Cats D some credit. They were making some BIG HITS on those so called unstoppable Running backs. I will say this again. The Mallard Creek Offense ONLY had 55 yards rushing at the half and DID NOT cross the 40 in the 2nd half. THey scored their lone TD off of a botched fair catch on a punt where they got GREAT field position. I will let the people that went to the game tell you about it though. I am PROUD of those Dillon Wildcats. Proud You hear me?Umm. Something tells me the officials kept this closer than it would had been. Twice MC had 3 play drives. How the hell you go from 2nd down to 4th down TWICE?? Dillion is nice though would love to see them at Shelby but the refs really soured the game
Hands down one of the best defensive efforts I've seen between two good teams! I think the refs were confused all damn night. I don't think we were getting "home cooking" just bad officiating. Mallard Creek were committing quite a few personal fouls.Absolutely one of the strangest games I have ever seen unfold.
The officiating (and down counts) were absolutely insane. If anyone can watch a tape without it being stopped between plays you will get more of an idea. Think MC had 15 penalties and Dillon had only a couple.
I expected a 21-7 type MC win. Dillon front seven got all over the MC O line. Thought MC QB did a solid job in his first game with MC. MC D was put in some bad situations by punting team and a couple of strange penalties but stepped up big.
Not sold on Mallard or Dillion to repeat! Period... I'll take the field...
can some answer this for me? dillion had ball 4th and goal from the 6, didint score but def holding was called, refs had meeting (again) moved ball to the 3 pointed yrd stick guy to change to 1st down. dillion ran one play to the 2. both teams lined up for next play mc coach ran on field called his team off as if that was 4 down! refs talked it over and pointed 1st down mc.my question is defensive holding inside the 6 what should have been the call? no dog in fight just woundering!
We have a 4 star Transfer QB who couldn't play this week who will begin playing next week. His name is Brayden Hawkins. He is a 6 Ft 3 220 lb Stud with a Rifle for an arm. Zareon will be moving back to Defense next week which will make an already great defense RIDICULOUS. Zareon's chief position is DE. NOW as for Mallard Creek. I WAS NOT impressed with their QB at all.I'm just worried about both teams(Dillion & Mallard) QB's who usually standout every game... But Your right, maybe just two great defenses.
How does a Nationally ranked top 10 team only score 7 points against a small team like Dillon? I know Dillon isn't your normal small country team. Not even joking around or trying to be funny but is Mallard Creek overrated this season? I know they'll more than likely win the 4AA again but only 7 points does not sound like a top 10 National team.
Dillon moved the ball fairly well between the 20's, but MC D really stood out with their red zone defense. Dillon stood out with defense across the board. Dillon had quite a few chances to score and I think that would have done it. In hindsight it may have been smart to go for the field goal as they would have had another chance for another field goal. Hard to know that though. Dillon QB made some things happen, but those opportunities weren't there in the red zone. I was expecting another pass or two to try to go to the corner of the end zone. Dillon had their chances and they played well enough to put themselves in that position.
MC struggled some on O, but credit the D. Both sides for that matter. MC likes to run. QB will take off, but looks like the passing game isn't in synch yet.
Two very good teams that will be working on their Offense. The officiating was crazy and was even hard to know what they called. The Dillon receiver looked to catch the ball for a TD, so I assume he was out of bounds. I had no way of telling where his feet were on the MC side. Of course, there was a flag on the play and I think eventually they waived it off. I don't know what happened.
Dillons botched fair catch hurt. The fumble hurt along with a few interception drops. Those type mistakes usually costs you in a game like this. I don't think MC had any turnovers.
I usually like to see more scoring, but this was a battle of the defenses. Glad I went. Great matchup between these two and both teams played hard. You can't ask for more that that.
Lol yeah I bet you were last year either. Although we saw how wrong you were then tooNot sold on Mallard or Dillion to repeat! Period... I'll take the field...
There is not a return game scheduled to Charlotte. MC would welcome them to come up. Only game ever on the table was a game in Dillon.
Hands down the WORST officials I have ever seen. I have read other post that basically said the same thing, as to how it was worse on MC. Them Refs huddled as much as either team on that field did. If you throw a flag for something, move the freakin ball and start the clock....these guys had to discuss in a huddle a dely of game call. These Refs did not favor anyone, they was just BAD. The touchdown that Dillon got called back because of a delay of game may have been a delay, but you draw attention to the call when you wait and throw the flag after the play has developed into a long run....???? MC need not think they they got robbed, because your Offensive line was holding ALL NIGHT LONG.
The game was a great game as I would have expected it to be. CONGRATULATIONS to Mallard Creek on the win. Going solely on rankings, I think the 1300th or so ranked Dillon Wildcats did well against the 10th ranked (5th in some poles) Mallard Creek. I personally think they have the rankings messed up a little.
I must say that I am very proud of my beloved Dillon Wildcats, they played ball against one of the better teams in the nation. The Nastycat Defense was just that..... NASTY, remember, our BEST defensive player didn't play Defense, he started at Quarterback for the first time. A botched punt return, a bobbled ball on the 2 yard line, and turnovers was the reason Dillon lost that game, because it was within our reach to win last night.
Thank you Mallard Creek fans for coming, I hope you enjoyed the trip. I believe that Dillon will travel to the creek next year.....can't wait. Good luck on your quest for 4 in a row, and again Congrats on your win. See you at the Creek.
Dillon TD was called back because of an illegal shift.
Dillon is a great squad and a fun place to play but my gut feeling is you have seen the last trip down there by MC or possibly any other NC team. I don't quibble so much with the penalties called but the delays, changing of the downs by the chain crew and the last series had two plays ran with zero time off the clock. Dillon is just WAY to good to need any of that crap.
37 straight is impressive. Good luck and hope you guys get that one for the thumb.
Dillonation was NOT happy with the Officials last night. They were confused on every call they made and handled that game in a very unprofessional manner. We cannot apologize for something we had know control over. Quite frankly other than Mallard Creek, no other NC team that amounts to anything wants to play Dillon. I can understand that even Mallard Creek may shy away from Dillon from now on regardless of where the game is. One thing for sure, That Nastycat Defense was in the house!!! I would like to know the final stats. I bet MC didn't have much more than 100 yards. Good luck on the rest of you season, hope to see these two teams play again.....
