I would give Trinity the edge. STX was missing Ritter and starting LB plus had couple of punts blocked. I believe it would be a good game to watch.

I mean, surely you must acknowledge that some of that has to do with the type of offense they ran, no? In three of the DeAngelo Wilson's four seasons (and I'm projecting this one) they're going to throw for more yards than they ran. And in those three years, it really wasn't even close to balanced. (The one where rushing took precedence was the gap year under Campbell Gott, and they ran for just over 100 yards more than they threw - still a highly successful aerial attack.) By contrast, in NONE of Moore's four years did they throw for more than they ran. One year it was more than double the amount, and in another it was almost four times as much on the ground. It's a completely different offense. Steelman and Moore were the foundation of the offense that Bowling Green runs today. Wilson has had the fortune of playing in a system that is fully formed, and on top of that, a program that is fully formed and established as one of the most elite of elite programs in the state regardless of class. Heck, DL didn't even have the benefit of the platoon system. He played on both sides of the ball.

 

I know you said high school receiver, and that's a nod to the fact that DL was clearly the superior college prospect, but I am firmly of the belief if you plucked Moore from the timeline and placed him in this current system, he would put up beyond ridiculous numbers for the Purples. His name is in the KHSAA record books for his senior season yardage. I don't think Wilson is going to get there. No knock on DeAngelo, who is phenomenal, both on the gridiron and basketball court. But Moore's my #2 WR at BG for certain.

 

30,000!

 

I take nothing away from what you say and value your opinion, which this one is mine. My words are not to put DL Moore down, but to raise Deangelo Wilson up. It is not his fault at when or where in the timeline he comes along. It is his opportunity to excel in the system that exists these past 4 years and that's exactly what he has done. Whom the better college prospect is is not for this conversation because it's "who is the best BGHS WR". A WR in my book is judged by the passes he catches, the chains he moves, the most YAC (yards after catch), and the most TDs period. No contest here. Deanglo will have have more of all for his career. I'm as sorry for DL Moore as I can be about the offensive scheme, but that's water under the bridge.

 

In last years Championship game, Pulaski County was up 7-0 and likely outplaying BG at this early part of the second quarter. A simple screen pass to Wilson and he jukes 6 to 7 Maroons and takes it to the house. That my friend was outright skill displayed at the highest stage when the Purples needed it most - you certainly wouldn't discount that. Deangelo Wilson will I hope be credited with playing for 3 State Championship teams (he really didn't contribute on the great 2013 team only earning 1 catch for 56 yards and a TD), but this year and last year he has been instrumental on those teams. It hurts me more than you to say Mr Moore never won a State Championship. Both players were intragal parts of their respective teams. Not doubting that.

 

I realize I have seen Deangelo play more games than DL Moore and I am likely biased on that. But a rough look at the numbers show TODAY:

DL Moore : 91 Total Catches 1,818 yards and 16 TDs

Deangelo Wilson: 117 Catches 1,807 yards and 28 TDs

 

In conclusion, I have no problem with anyone saying DL Moore is your #2 WR. But he's not mine. AND, he never made a catch like the one illustrated above. We can agree to disagree.

 

These two posts right here are special.

 

 

THIS is what I LOVE about BGP.

 

So well said!!!!!

 

Thank you both.

You aren't kidding. I think anyone who reads them can clearly understand both sides of the coin after reading those two posts. But then again DF and P88 always have good thought out posts.

I read DF's post and I was like, man, he's right. He's all

over it.

 

Then I read P88's post and I was like, man, he's right. He's all over it. :lol2: :lol2:

 

They both got me warm and fuzzy. :lol2:

As a High School Receiver,

YES

 

DL Moore was a terrific receiver but is not in the Top 40 in points in BGHS history.

 

Deangelo Wilson is currently #19 with hopefully 8 games to go!

 

Regardless of who's better than who because of what...THAT is an impressive picture of athleticism and concentration, no matter who you are.

As good as those Bowling Green teams were, I think only 2013 would get the nod from me. The 2011 Bowling Green team was magnificent and beat most teams handily. They embarrassed teams in 5A that entered the year thinking they had a shot. But that Trinity team won a national title. Whereas Bowling Green beat X 28-20, Trinity obliterated them 41-6 and 42-6. That team rolled through the best out of Cincinnati and Nashville. They made most teams other than Cincy St X look ridiculous. No one really touched them.

 

2012 wasn't quite as dominating, but still beat all those same teams except Moeller. They had to survive a close test in the postseason against X, but blew them out in the regular season again while Bowling Green won by a TD. I think there's potential Bowling Green could have won that year, but I would think Trinity would have had the edge. Mostly because Bowling Green was a remarkably young team that year and ramping into that 2013 heavy hitter.

 

Those would have been fun games though. Just to have this discussion is yet another example of Bowling Green's stature throughout the state. They are truly among the elite of elite.

 

I think 2011 T would probably beat BG, but in 2010 with just about the same "key" players on both teams T eeked out a 14-12 game against BG. I think the 2011 game would have been a great match-up, and closer than the experts think.

If by "key" you mean the first and second string quarterback.

2010 T played at BG with their 4th string QB I believe. It was Jackson Noe who was actually a WR in every other game that year. I think T only threw 8 passes, which may be the least of any game Beatty has ever coached at T.

Having said that I am a huge BG fan and would LOVE to see them play again. I think T has been trying to make that happen.

Footnote: Would like to see them play in basketball too!
