Highlands is fine, even though you might see a similar score against the mighty Boyd County Lions next week.

We could do without the 69 visitor points though.

It was a fun game to watch. Stayed to the end don’t normally do that.

 

What an opportunity for Beau Hoge to be in this type of game as a starter and now be prepared in case he is called on in the playoffs. I am certain Houliston a senior will finish out the season however to have a backup QB with this kind of game experience is priceless.

 

Tonights game also provided quality time for defensive backup DB’s to get more game time. It also allowed the defensive coaches to have tape and teaching moments for the backups. The DB’s many times took bad angles when running at the WC runners allowing long TD runs. Also, in pass coverage they did not look back to see the ball and then did not wrap up the receiver.

 

WC played hard and did not give up when down big. I am sure the score and yardage gained helped with the long ride home knowing they gave it their best shot.

I dont care who is not playing in the game.......you give up over 900 yards in a game...win or lose you cant be happy. Just sayin....

Not that I doubted the Highlands stats, but I just completed my review of the film, and they were dead on. Central had 716 yards rushing on 48 attempts for an average of 14.6 yards per carry and 8 touchdowns. They were 5/10 for 202 yards through the air and two touchdowns. Beat the previous state record by 54 yards. As stated before, the 716 rushing yards are the second most ever in a single game.

 

Other notables:

 

-8 different Dragons had carries. Porter-Bunton was the leader in yardage with 210 yards. Damani Walker averaged 28 yards per carry (6/168) to lead by average. Rondell Green also added 188 yards to give the Dragons three rushers with 168 yards or more.

 

-Warren Central averaged nearly 15 yards per carry as a team.

 

-Porter-Bunton's 210 yards were the most by a Dragon under Coach Rogers. The last time a Dragon topped 200 was Tabarus Mitchell against Bardstown in 2008.

 

-Porter-Bunton's 202 yards were his most as a quarterback, most by a Dragon since last season against Graves County.

 

-Porter-Bunton is the first Dragon to ever have 200 yards rushing and 200 yards passing in the same game.

-The #3 that played last night was Marcus Cornelius. Amos is out for the year with a broken ankle. He was their kicker on kickoffs.

-Byron Carver wears #8 on the road, as they were last night.

-Central has 9 seniors. Rondell Green (6), Byron Carver (7), Chris Porter-Bunton (9), Robert Edwards (10), Thomas Trowbridge (78), and Naighee Conn (79) are typically the only ones that see the field. Green, Carver, and Edwards are two-way players, though Porter-Bunton did some as well last night. He has done so very little on the year. Conn only recently gained a spot on the O-Line due to an injury, or else the line would have only one senior.

I was curious about how big some of those kids where? Green looked pretty tall.

Teams Warren Cental have lost to.

 

Highlands 71-68

North Hopkins 27 to 13

Boyle County 26 to 16

Desales 40 to 27

Bowling Green 48 to 14

 

Fixed that for ya. :thumb:

 

3 of those 5 teams will most likely be State Champions this yr...Just sayin

 

I give WC nothing but respect for scheduling quality football teams...

That I don't have for them. I can look at the basketball roster from last year for those guys. Green was 6'0", 170 lbs. Porter-Bunton 6'4", 185 lbs. Carver 6'3", 240 lbs. Edwards 6'1", 180 lbs. Carver is probably lighter this year. Came in much better shape.

Not that I doubted the Highlands stats, but I just completed my review of the film, and they were dead on.

To you all as well (as if you needed it)!

The plot thickens a bit:

 

Per the NFHS record book, Central's 918 yards are the second most ever nationally in a single game: NFHS |

 

Their 716 rushing yards is 12th most ever nationally in a single game: NFHS |

A few comments / questions (after 15 pages of reading and 3 hours at DCM last night)

 

1 - I would like to see the # of series Bardo played and the offensive results for WC on those drives. He played much of the 1st Q and I didn't see him after that. Not sure if he was in on the 1st WC TD on the busted play.

 

2 - JV Defense (by choice, not by injury necessity) played much of the 3rd Q. Most, if not all, of the available starters / starting rotation were back in for the 4th Q.

 

3 - Once Bardo left, the entire starting secondary was out (although 27 does see some starting reps in certain packages and played last night). Much of the front 7 (3 DL & 4 LBs) were the usual rotation. This is important because of how WC scored. 1st, it was all big plays and no real "drives." 2nd, all of the big plays (mostly runs, but a few huge passes as well) were OUTSIDE THE HASHES. Other than the 2 OLBs, this is the responsibility of the secondary.

 

4 - Personnel aside, "set an edge" for goodness sake. If you continue to take bad angles and not set the edge wide enough to force the runners back to the inside (where 8 or 9 other players can help you at least try to contain a 80 yd. TD run down to a 15 yd. 1st down), SET THE EDGE wider. Stand on the freakin' sideline and work back from there. IF they then start to gash you up the middle because of the wide edge you have set, so be it. We'll never know since it didn't happen last night. Lots of good learning opportunities in film today I am sure.

 

5 - No idea on the numerous chop blocks. I did see the repeated firing off low of the WC OL, but I also thought it was in the box and didn't see the defender engaged with another OL. I admit I couldn't watch it that closely from where I was. Maybe some film work to be done.

 

6 - HHS will be OK. Hopefully they get a chance to get healthy. Those that didn't play last night will hopefully have 2 weeks before the 2nd round game. Those that did play and came out of the game worse than they went in, get better this week and be ready when called upon.

 

Go Birds! Beat Lions!

This one was easy enough to check. He played five series. The results were:

 

3 Plays, 8 Yards - Punt

2 Plays, -11 Yards - Fumble (unforced, all lost yards on the fumble)

5 Plays, 21 Yards - Downs (fake punt)

3 Plays, 80 Yards - Touchdown

5 Plays, 66 Yards - Missed FG

 

It's worth noting the large play of the missed FG drive, he wasn't in on. The TD, he was on the opposite side of the field.
