papagrit Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 It was the line that made the difference tonight in my opinion, not to take anything away from McCreary. I did see two large linemen on the sideline for MC tonight on crutches and I'm sure that didn't help their cause any. I'm proud of our boys and the way that they responded after last weeks heartbreaker against Knox Central in OT. They have had some letdowns mentally in two games this season (KC and Pulaski) and let those two get away from them. But, tonight it seems that they came prepared to play the entire game and a certain senior receiver has given them a bit of spark that lasted the entire game this time. I hope that he can continue what he started and be a leader for these boys the rest of the season as they are not nearly as weak as their record of 4-4 shows. They just needed someone to come forward and apply some boot leather to their backsides when the chips were down. Good job boys! :jump: Keep it up!:thumb::thumb::thumb:

Good job boys! :jump: Keep it up!:thumb::thumb::thumb: The Rockets looked very good tonight, they played hard and was aggressive all night. The war in the trenches was domminated by the Rockets and my hats are off to them! Roark could not get in the groove tonight because Rocks D-line was so dominate between the tackles but he is an excellent back that didn't have much of a chance tonight. We also have a couple of good receivers (one of which was out sick tonight) and they came wide open several time with the passes being a little under thrown or not thrown at all and that hurt as well. I'm not going to play the if game it is what it is. The biggest difference tonight was Rocks "D" was much better than MC's "D" we scored a couple of times early but could not slow Rocks offense down (not even a little). It is no secret our defense needs to improve a great deal before we can ever compete in games against teams like Rock and Knox but all we can do is keep working hard because we have gotten better just not good enough quick enough! Monday starts a new week and we just have to keep on working. Congradulation to the Rockets and good luck the rest of the year! It was good to see you again papagrit!

It was good to see you again papagrit! Good to see you too and best of luck with your season! I think if you get your linemen focused better and heads up, you all will see some more wins this season. You and Coach are class acts. :thumb:
El Escoger Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 You should'nt try so hard to throw-off on McCreary. Watts is a very good player there is no denying that, but from talking to HOP Roark worked his butt off in the weightroom and it has paid off. He has around 1200 yds rushing with three games to play and last year he had 1000 or so after 11 games. Does he make Watts better? I have looked at the threads dealing with the schools surrounding McCreary County and you don't dog them. Why are you so disgruntled they are only kids. Ease up!

One of Rocks coaches actually said their game plan was to focus on Roark and shut him down because they didn't think Watts could beat them by himself and that's exactly what they did! After they took Roark out of the equation by practicing for a week to stop him they then took the 1st quarter to figure what we would do with Watts and then make adjustments to stop him. I tip my hats to their coaching staff because they were smart enough to go about it in the opposite way than everone else and it paid off. Most people just worry about Watts and when they do Roark takes over the game! Good job, we never saw that one coming!
