West Rowan vs South Point

- Start date
Know virtually nothing about WR, but will do some digging during the coming week. Glad to have them at home as I remember the waste treatment facility that they cranked up behind our stands when we lost to them at their place with Parks. That was a good WR team and a smelly place to play.
We also played them in the 1st round back in 2013 at South Point and evened the series 1-1. They are no slouches on the field, even in an off year. This is not an off-year. They have 3 losses - season non-conference opener against Mooresville (26-28) and against conference foes Concord (10-17) and Hickory Ridge (21-28). If the Raiders want to win, they will have to play a near perfect game - no turnovers, keeping the penalties to a minimum and hopefully not in situations where we give them a first down or undercut our own position (like the INT that the safety took to the Statesville 1 only to have it brought back to the SP 38).
Gazette said bruised shoulder. He went out right before halftime, but came back in the game in the 2nd half.
I noticed that too. Playing more like a pro QB.
Boys, I think we found a pass defense. The last few weeks, the SP pass defense has looked nothing like earlier in the season and typical SP pass defenses. The way those guys are playing right now, we can go a long way this year. The last few weeks, any long ball thrown has been more than likely to be intercepted or blocked down. Great improvement there! Go Big RED!

Statesville keyed on him all night and the fullback killed team. Like I said earlier SP put on a clinic blocking. Amazing watching those 160 lb linemen open holes against guys 50-75 lbs bigger.
This is nothing new. S.P. does this year after year. We're hardly ever the bigger, the faster, the more athletic team, But we continue to "just win"
Unless West Rowan has changed their offense all you will see is the Quarterback running the ball. They will pass the ball some but not until they have to.If their defense comes to play they are good. Against Concord their defense played good but at Hickory Ridge it was a different. South Point should win this one but it is the 3rd round and anything can happen.
Home field advantage is always a good thing for us. With it being Black Friday, traffic on I-85 at Concord Mills will be worse than normal. Glad that it is the Falcons who have to suffer through that rather than our boys.
We go through Mooresville Sasha and thru the back way. Hopefully, we will stay clear of the heavy stuff.
Probably best to come 115 all the way to Huntersville and get on 485.
On the way to visit family near Lincolnton a couple of times, we have come I-40 W to I-77 to catch 150 W at Mooresville. There was traffic on Saturday morning so not one of my favorite routes. I'd rather take 40 to 321 and backtrack 20 miles and get there in about the same amount of time.
As long as I don't choke down there my friend, I will breathe easy.
You going to be there my friend or do I have to go it alone?
On your own, brother. Family stuff to do. However, my blood will be there.
You are one of the good ones, but may the Falcons have kidney stones in the 4th quarter!
Hahaha!!!! Man you are rough! Got rid of mine before the game last time. But I don't intend to get any this time. Sorry you won't be in attendance, I always looked forward to looking up to you!
GO FALCONS!!!!

Ha!!! Bless him he was sick last week during his playoff game ! At the half I asked him if he wanted to come out because I could tell he felt terrible! He said when asked " ABSOLUTELY NOT" and about thirty minutes after the game he got a fever 104 !!! And ended up at the doctor who basically said " well it might be a virus , and sent him home!!
Isn't West Rowan the team that lines their D Lineman 2 yards back off the line of scrimmage to prevent getting chopped (I mean cut), and creates confusion for South Point's chopping (I mean blocking) scheme?
If you have a center that can wrestle the A gap defender to the ground (like Statesville) then you can take the SP D lineman out of their game (77, 78, 35) will get pissed and try to fight the center. That was obvious from Friday night. At times, they decided to try and scrap with the Statesville center instead of getting pancaked in place of tracking the ball and making a play. 35 does his best work against BIG lineman and can use his quickness against their bulk.
After watching some film and reviewing the roster, WR is a big team. Big O Line and Big D Line. Also have a couple of good athletes, but appear to be more of a pounding style versus speed. They come right at you with the big QB, Otto, running a lot. Did not see a lot of passing but he seemed to throw a pretty good ball when he did. Look for a bruising, tough game. Need Goo back to 100% to keep that big D line from keying on 32.
Yes. The coaches used that strategy in both 2008 & 2013. That team Just wasn't very good in 13' so it really didn't matter.
