Mitchell @ Draughn

[Old Mountaineer]

You keep saying high ankle sprain, I heard it's his foot.

Pretty sure that's what his sister told me it was but I can ask again.

 

[sbbbfan]

Either one takes time to heal

Injury has definitely slowed him down looks like his cutting better but doesn't look like the burst of speed is still not there, there was a few times where they got him in the back field that I don't believe at 100% they would have. Noticed Thursday where he usually runs over to the sideline after every play that someone else was running in the plays.
A high ankle sprain is hard to heal from especially when you keep playing still don't understand playing him in the Madison game. Hopefully having a couple weeks until the next game will give him some healing time.

Thanks. Thomasville has played all season without its starting QB that is injured and he a senior also. Best wishes to both young men balance of season.

But y’all are more balanced this year and don’t need him is all y’all said when I said he needed to sit non conference

Offense is not the problem. Right now our defense is as bad as Owens and that’s bad.

True though the offense wasn't great Thursday night and some of it was self infliction like penalties keeping them out of the end zone. But yes the D is the main problem.

Draughn has put up points but let's be honest here, in their 5 victories the teams they've played have combined for 1 win. Their only lose came to a mediocre East Burke team. Mitchell should win this one easily and win it by multiple touchdowns.

This team ain't balanced the best they had graduated

The Morning After: My thoughts on last nights game after watching the film. Mitchell had a really good game plan coming into the game by playing zone and limiting Draughns QB's throwing lanes. Coming into the game he was leading the conference in TDS (Passing 16, rushing 6) so it was wise to take his throwing away and force them to run. The only problem with that is our line does a really good job blocking and we have 2 really good RBS so playing zone opened the door for a ground and pound night. Mitchells offense and line did a really good job throughout the night but there was simply too much fire power on the other side and a shootout high scoring game really favors Draughn in any matchup. Looking ahead Mitchell and Draughn should run the table the rest of the way.

Are you Drauns only fan?
