PLYMOUTH HIGH SCHOOL VIKINGS (13-2) vs. ROBBINSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL BLACK KNIGHTS (12-2) UPDATES
- Thread starter PatrickO'Brien
- Start date
Robbinsville got cranked up a little too late but good effort. Don't know why they didn't run 44 more. #2 had heckuva game on defense that boy is a beast. Good game Black Knights. Nothing to be ashamed of.
What's so unreal about scoring 12 unanswered points in a quarter? They didn't say 28-8 with a minute left in the 4th quarter. The just said 4th quarter.
One note on this game is I don't get the way helmets are flying off of kids these days. #2 from Plymouth (whom I would vote the player of the game) lost his 2-3 times on not exceptionally hard hits and the last time at a very critical time that could have cost them the game. #10 for Robbinsville lost his helmet a couple of times. Helmets are more expensive than ever these days and supposedly higher tech and safer but concussions are way up and they are flying off kids all the time now. Back in my day (I played high school and college fb in the 80s) it took a real slobber knocking hit to knock a helmet off. It seems every high school game I watch these days and often in college games at least 1 or 2 players have to sit out a play because their helmet comes off??? Are helmets fitted properly??? Are helmets made to be too comfortable these days??? Concussions and sometimes deaths are caused by the 3rd impact on collisions (internal organs like the brain moving forward and coming to an abrupt stop). I feel the added comfort in the expensive helmets are causing more 3rd impacts and also not properly fitting the helmet on a kid as well. A helmet should never fly off a kids head without an extreme hit. My 2 cents worth.
Also my 2 cents worth without a dog in the fight I thought this game was the most entertaining game of the day of the games I watched. I too cannot figure out why Robbinsville did not run 44 more. Plymouth never realy stopped him when he carried the ball. Maybe because they were playing from behind. #2 for Plymouth is as tough as nails and ran extremely hard. Both programs should be proud of the effort their kids gave today.
