Final in a close one!

Nice win for Holy Cross.

Tough loss for the cats they had HC on there heals is this one but just couldn't finish them. Newport finaly showed some offence tonight an the defence looked good,they just couldn't make the plays when they had to,good come back win for HC an good luck to both teams the rest of the year.Keep your heads up Wilcats an take some thing from this game an build on it.

Dang earlier in the year I warned the Holy Cross faithful on here that Newport might just beat them. They said I was crazy and that it wouldn't even be close. But well it definitely was close, but to bad Newport couldn't pull it off to make me look even smarter...

Wow. Very shocking the game was this close. Nice job Newport for hanging tough!

This game was one of the better ones Newport has played all season. I noticed that Newport has been playing a lot of new faces too. I think Newport needs to look at all the good things that happen with this game and get ready to shock some teams in the playoffs.

OK.....I've waited long enough to post my thoughts.

 

First I want to say Newport played a better game than the past, they have some talent, and are showing improvement. Good luck!

 

Now, as I've said in the past, I am an HC faithful. But the other HC faithfuls may or may not like what my opinion of the game was. IMO I'm glad the kids got out of Newport with the win. What I'm not happy about is the (here's that dead horse I'm going to beat somemore) play calling. 3rd and 8, 4th and 7 they call a run play. WHAT? HELLO! It didn't work the first 2 or 3 plays in the series so why go back to it?

 

Right before half HC was driving the field and passing the ball with success. They get to the 6 yd line (?) 10 sec on the clock, with no timeouts, go to spike the ball and a penility was called and the clock stops. You would think HC would be lined up ready to snap the ball so when the refs starts the clock they can get one more play off. The answer is NO! Kozerski had the whole team off to the side like it was a timeout. They get back to the line, clock starts and they don't get a play off. You would think with playing in the Pros, the "0" line, he would know that.

 

Also, they did not throw the 2nd half and not much the 1st half. Does anyone think you can win a game with ONLY running the ball, the whole game? From what I seen HC needs to spread the field. When you line up 1 WR, you know the run is coming. The entire season, the WR have been a decoy. I think the teams have figured it out. Line up 3 or 4, spread the field. From what I've seen, Walker can go get it, West catches anything close. Line up Ronker and Cooper too.

 

Unfortunitly I'm not the ONLY HC faithful that feels this way. Hopefully the coaching will realize this and make the changes. It's as clear as the nose on your face what needs to happen.
