I think it is becoming obvious that St.X needs a healthy team to make a run through what should be a least Manual & T. 2 weeks to heal up and get ready to roll. No disrepect but earning the right to face Butler 1st round is huge right now and key to getting healthy.

 

I was impressed with our passing game in the second half, there have been times in the past few years where we were not able to change from our core running game. I don't remember any dropped balls. Cov Catholic has a solid team and should make a nice run in November.

 

Get Healthy.

 

Go Tigers

Xtiger69,

 

I'm interested as to why you see this as "obvious"? I can not think of a single game this year that St. X has NOT had multiply injured players on the sideline. There have been players who have stepped up and filled the shoes of those injured players. This has enabled them to came away with the "W" on every occassion. These boys are hungry and want to win games.

 

What is of concern to me is waiting until the second half to get out of the starting blocks! This is a trend I don't like and they've done it in five of the 10 games they've played this year. Good teams, winning teams,well coached teams, will bury you on your own field if you give them the opportunity. This has to be corrected for this to be a successful tournament run for St. X. The Tigers need to come out at the start of every game, knock their opponents to the ground at the beginning of the game, put the proverbial sword to their throats and have the wherewithal to run’em through.

 

That said, I truly believe the coaches will have these guys ready. Starting this Friday against Butler.

Sounds like a great effort by the Colonels. Just fell short in the end.
