North Surry played much better football last night than in the first two games I saw them play, against Elkin and East Surry. Coach Holder was disappointed last night in his special teams, thought they should have prevented the fake punt and the onside. Said that his defense did a good job even though stuff like that caused them to be on the field too long.
I wasn't very far from the onside when it was recovered, and honestly, I thought part of his body was out of bounds when he recovered it. But you go to sleep on something like that, which MA did, and you can't really blame the referees.
Unless the other team is playing dirty, there's not that much risk in running draw plays up the middle. MA already had the game well in hand by that point and they were just trying to get it over with.
NS still isn't quite clicking on all cylinders, though, which is understandable considering what they've dealt with to start their season. Getting Atkins next week should help them in that regard. Mount Airy's next game should be far more interesting than that one will be.
