Final

 

Harness 13-21-0 for 193 yards 3 TD's, Gerry Cooper caught 6 for 141 and 2 TD's.

With Rhayven Smith sitting out with an injury and avoiding sloppy field making it worse DJ Hawk led the Crimsons in rushing with 15 carries for 130 yards and 1 TD.

Was this game close?

Unless there was a miscommunication, I'd like to know how the score went from supposedly 28-13 to 42-31 in 5 minutes. :confused:

There was alot of scoring late. Manual was able to complete several big passing plays. Manual scored with a little over a minute left and Bullitt East scored with 1.4 seconds left on the clock. Bullitt East missed on 4 extra point tries. Both teams played well on a sloppy field.

They missed 1 PAT and then 3 consecutive 2-pt conversions.

BE scored with 4:20 left and then missed a 2 pt conversion to make the score 28-19. Then Manual recovered the onside kick. Then their coach decided not to do the smart thing and run the clock out but threw a 57 yd TD pass. BE scored easily and quickly again. Failed on the onside kick and Manual ran plays designed to score again which they did with 1 minute left, then BE scored with 1.4 seconds left.

 

Good game, talent was pretty much even. Penalties and turnovers killed BE. The Cooper kid on Manual is a heckuva ball player. There was only 1 punt the entire game so neither defense was all that impressive.

Actually it was the smart thing because we had our starting running back out the whole game and half our normal starters out at that point in the game, if it were not for the passing game keeping us scoring we may well have turned the ball over on downs and Bullitt East might have actually threatened to pull within one touchdown. As it stands they didn't. So it seems like the right move to me.

4:20 left in the game

BE down two scores

Manual has the ball at midfield

Manual hasn't had to punt the entire game

Manual has 175 on the ground

BE has 2 timeouts left

 

The smart thing to do there is to air it out on first down? Wow .... you were running up the score .. nothing wrong with that ... it backfired on you because we scored two more times on you an the margin of victory stayed basically the same... but don't try to justify by saying it was the smart move. The smart move up two scores is to sit on the ball and take time off the clock, not put the ball in the air and risk a turnover.

 

Like I said running up the score isn't the classiest thing to do but hey teams do it all the time ... but don't pee on my shoe and tell me it's raining. Smart thing to do LOL. Took us 44 minutes to score 3 times but Manual was scared we'd score twice in the last 4 minutes..... classic.

I wasn't there, but my theory is that they may have done that to pad our QB's stats as he's apparently close to or may have already broken some passing records for Manual.

Your team had just scored on our team and tried an onside kick and it was a short pass that broke for a td, not a shot in the endzone. It is not Manual's fault that your team botched the defensive play that let a ten yard pass go for a touchdown. Bullitt East is a good team we respect and they played the entire game. I am sorry that someone had to lose but it is not Manual's job to give them the game or let them back in with a few minutes left on the clock. The Manual coaches did a great job in that they kept a two score lead but did not run up the score. If you see it otherwise then we will have to agree to disagree, but in no way did Manual run up the score they were just ensuring victory, we had a close call against a good Shelby County team earlier and Bullitt East is too good a team to just mail it in. Manual kept a two score pad and let seniors and JV kids play if you are complaining about that then I can't help you.

Also when a team is kicking onside kicks out of the huddle formation after they just scored, the general way you respond once that attempt fails is to score on that team to put them away. Again the SMART thing to do. Because if your team showed that they were not going to onsides and just run the clock out, we would have too, but your team was still trying to win (to their credit, with much respect to your coaches BTW) so our team was going to continue to play to win too.

I am not trying to insult you in any way but I don't see how you can insult our coaches decision making when they just beat your team by a respectable but not humiliating amount.

What was the score of the Bullitt East Bullitt Central game this year BTW?

BE won 48-7 and it really wasn't that close. BC scored on BE's JV defense late in the 4th quarter.

You put your starting QB back in and threw a fly route to Carter 30 yards down field .. it wasn't a short pass. It was a play call designed simply to score again. The situation in the game called for running the clock out plain and simple.

 

I don't care that your team tried to run up the score (failed but tried) just don't act like it was smart play calling leave it for what it was. Why would a team that was trailing by two scores try to run the clock out .. your logic is very very faulty.

 

I can understand the other guys point, trying to pad the QB stats .. or trying to showcase Carter (who is excellent) but don't pretend it was because it was the smart play call. 4:20 to go .. you had ran all over us .. you hadn't punted once ... you were up two scores ... the smart play is to run out the clock.

Not sure what your point is there .... I'm pretty sure we weren't throwing 30 yard fly patterns in the second half ... but once again I don't care that they tried to run up the score but to pretend it was smart strategic play calling is a joke.

Getting petty boys . . . let it go. Both of these two schools have have too quality of programs for banter about play calling and scoring

 

Best of luck to the Rams and Chargers to make a deep playoff run.
