Correct.

 

And he was so incredibly winded on the sidelines every time I looked down with his helmet off.  

 

Dixie is very poorly conditioned which led to all the dumb penalties in second half, because overall it was clean by both teams in 1st half.

Playing both ways will do that.

Only when you are not in shape.

 

Whenever we had 2 way players, they had a completely different conditioning regimen than the other players.  You would be up front with them that we were going to put them thru the wringer and made sure they were on board, that way they weren't on the sidelines struggling.  

2 way players aren't very effective when they aren't in the game.

How did Dixie manage under 50 plays running a no-huddle offense? I thought the point of a no-huddle was to run as many plays as possible to increase your chances of scoring. They may as well huddle so they can change formations mid series. By comparison using the numbers above, SK had over 50% more plays at 75 because their no huddle actually moved quickly.

Both points are interesting. The first because you'd expect more plays from Dixie, but if fatigue in the second half lead to penalties for them, then it's for not. With that said, SK's Offensive line was questioned for being too slow but managed to run an effective no huddle, that's irony.

When I arrived I noticed all of the Dixie kids all had black shirts on warming up. Not to smart when it is that hot.

Side note SK grads TMC football players QB Chase Crone is 2nd string and OL Jacob Putthoff is 2nd string right tackle. They are both backing up Seniors. Also Dixie grad Brach Rice is playing linebacker and said he will mostly be playing special teams this year. Good luck to all 3!

Dixie wasn't fast pace like years past.

SK had 2 penalties to Dixies 7 and SK didn't turn the ball over.

Gregg had 18 carries 208 yards 3 tds.

Was Dixie's defense that terrible or Lucas Jr. really has that offense clicking?

Cool pics.

Random question, not sure where to put it but always wondered and no official has been able to give me a definitive answer and it's regarding stiff-arms.

1.  Why is a ball carrier the only person allowed to touch a facemask of an opposing player?

2. When did the stiff-arm change.  You used to have to have your arm completely extended, elbow locked, now ball carriers will essentially open arm punch defenders in the face.  The arm isn't stiff anymore.  Just wondering why this started happening, because I do believe the rule states you can't deliver a blow to the face (not sure exact language.)
