Good win for Creek. That should not have been a one score game. Creek continues with the penalty parade in the first half. Holding and personal fouls hurt. Went from having a TD on a great pass and catch (!!) to getting stopped on fourth and one.
Three personal fouls. Needs to stop. I understand on interception return that is an agressive penalty but they are going to call that every time and good way to hurt the opponent or yourself bad.
Creek missed their kicker bad. Injury, will be back. His ability to put the ball in the end zone or get a deep high kick is a game changed especially against this opponent. Punting game and coverage must be a priority. I think Creek should go for it on fourth downs. Not sure why they opted to do the QB punt out of the shotgun on third down when he is lighting up the D in the air? It was third and 23 (?) but with Noller I am going for it on third and may be on fourth depending on the third down yardage. First down marker was about the 21. Note back, on a punt you cannot take a step(s) back.
OL had issues with the speed of the smaller defenders especially the LBers shooting and stunting at angles.
Simpson the best player on the field. His combo of size, speed, agressiveness, and good football iq put him on another level. The two running backs are very good and a nice mix but I think Simpson's ability to deliver blows wears teams down more. Just have to pick the spots.
Noller the MVP and player they can least afford to lose. With 2016-2018 QBs they have two L's. People can say no but that is my take. The QB we watched last night would have led MC to state titles last season and may be in 2017. Difference maker! Patient and smart. Checks down before he takes off only running when it is his last option. Can thread the needle. Thought he could have taken a little heat off the ball a few times.
Couple of dropped passes, some really nice catches, and two that would have been highlights with the catch.
MC did not play their best in my opinion and they won in a hostile atmosphere against a very good team. State title or bust.
