WhoozYoDaddy Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 If we get rain, wind or heaven forbid snow this weekend, which teams will it benefit and which teams will it hamper?
bluegrass09 Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 I believe it will definently help Beechwood, they are obviously a running team and they are facing Lca who predominately spreads the field.
FTBIGBIRD Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 Highlands is a running team that can pass when and if they need to. They will definitely not benefit from any inclimate weather, but being a running team, it helps with the weather.
Belfry Wins Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 Highlands is a running team that can pass when and if they need to. They will definitely not benefit from any inclimate weather, but being a running team, it helps with the weather. Highlands is a running team that likes to use speed over power this year though aren't they? Which even on the turf the speed is still nto hurt as bad during the rain. It could possibly help Belfry running the ball. But I think on the turf it dont really matter, it's simple run or throw hold on to the football.
StickerMann Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 Not that familiar with the styles of Trinity & X (except they are very good and probably somewhat balanced)--Who benefits if bad weather hits between these two?
bluegrassfootball Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 If it rains or snows it could be devistating for Lone Oak.
NCC06 Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 Rain would not be good for NCC with how they spread them out and throw it around... however 2 years ago when they played mayfield in the rain with a similar offense they absolutly dominated
FamilyTradition Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 I don't think the weather bothers Highland's at all. They practice on field turf every day rain or shine. HHS is more of a running team and weather usually won't effect a running team as much as a team that passes. A passing team might have a advantage on natural turf with recievers but this game is being played field turf.
strongopenyon Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 If it rains or snows it could be devistating for Lone Oak. I disagree! This statement would only be true if Corey Robinson has trouble throwing a wet or cold football. There will be no mud on the plush Papa John's Stadium carpet. The receivers know where they are going on the wet/snow covered turf while the Lexington Catholic defensive backs do not. I honestly think that a cold/wet field would favor Lone Oak in this one. Especially if their receiving crew has good speed.

FC Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 No way. I agree, even Tom Brady has trouble throwing in poor weather and I believe his recievers are a little better then Lone Oaks.

I honestly think that a cold/wet field would favor Lone Oak in this one. Especially if their receiving crew has good speed. As long as the ball is dry, a wet surface would help Lone Oak. It would hinder the defensive unit. Lone Oak played well on a wet (natural) field against Fulton City this year.
BirdieCat Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 Not that familiar with the styles of Trinity & X (except they are very good and probably somewhat balanced)--Who benefits if bad weather hits between these two? Since St. X predominately uses a Run Offensive and Trinity predominately uses a Pass Offensive, I think WET weather (Rain, Sleet or Snow) favors the Tigers. A football is hard enough on a good day to catch, a wet football is even harder. If it is just cold with no precipatation, I think the weather is not a factor for either team. :thumb: GO TIGERS! :thumb:
bugatti Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 Bad weather, more often than not, puts any two teams much more on the same level.
Belfry Wins Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 Bad weather, more often than not, puts any two teams much more on the same level. Do you find that to be true on feild turf? I think it might be to a extent depending on the offenses but not as much as it would on a grass field.
