HITTING WINS THIS GAME EVERYTIME.

:thumb: :thumb: :thumb: This is the best statement on this post - EVERY time, people tend to get tired of getting a "slobberknocker" laid on them every play.

I believe that Ashland wins this one! Although, the Tomcats had better come out ready to play! Mason could snake bit the Tomcats if they aren't ready!

 

Ashland 21

Mason 14

The Tomcats need to come out on the first set of downs and set the tone.If we can get a couple of hard CLEAN hits then Mason may fade quickly.

I agree with 51 that hitting and hitting hard will win football games. Mason is not very big or strong we should be physical with them and show them we came to play in the Tomcat tradition.

Mason is not strong?????? There inside LBer #27 benches 350 and squats 600 pounds. He is 5'5" 185. I saw there QB #10 knockout Greenup county's inside backer #52 on a bootfake. #10 benches 315 and squats around 550. That is there QB. How is that not physically strong???

Am I reading this wrong, or is Mason Co.'s linebacker really only 5ft 5?

Frances and Old Rambler love your posts. Seem to be fair and about the kids.

Trimmer 308 maybe you need to get a coaching job? :banana:

Chris Marshall #27 is about 5'5" or 5'6" but a pitbull!!!!!:ylsuper:

^ Fields Davis only about 5'6'' and Cordle about 5'8'' there not the tallest linebackers in the state either.

Thanks, Stinger.

 

I have to say that, without a doubt, every coaching staff makes decisions on who will start (and get the majority of playing time) based on a lot of factors (that I listed above).

 

When it comes to starting, and playing time, one thing is certain - coaching staffs (from every school) watch more game film on a weekend than the people in the stands have watched in their lifetime. Coaches don't simply watch a play and then move on to the next one. They usually watch a given play at least 9 or 10 times, and often, much more than that. They "break down" the film to enable themselves to grade every kid, on every play. If a coach benches a player after the season has begun, it is because that player isn't getting the job done. There is one immutable truth, that many parents simply don't want to hear - FILM DOESN'T LIE.

 

Good coaching staffs show the film to the kids, to allow them to see what they really are (or are not) doing. For some kids, the first film they see is in High School, and for others, it may be as early as youth football. When a kid sees himself on film, it usually changes their self image, by showing them the reality of their efforts.

 

As parents, we all want our kids to start and play as much as possible. That's human nature. How we handle expressing our disappointment when that doesn't happen reveals much about us.

Could not have said it better myself. Very good Frances.

Thank you Stinger, As for the kids the one thing that I try and do is to be fair to them no matter what team they are playing for. After all, they are what the game is all about. As for the coaching, having had h.s. coaches on the varsity level in my family in the past and having coached several years in youth sports and helped some on the Jr. High level I have a good idea of what all goes into it. My comments in an earlier post about the coaches seeing these kids everyday in practice to me is the biggest thing that most do not understand. I can assure you that no coach wants to go out and lose a ball game and they are doing everything in their power and knowledge of their kids on the team to win.

Thanks, Stinger.

:thumb: :thumb: Another excellent post by Aunt Bea from the wonderful town of Mayberry. And to think, Opie didn't think you knew anything about playing ball.:lol:

What are the field conditions going to be like for this game? Will Ashland possibly move the game back to Saturday? I for one hope they do.
