The sarge

Will WV be able to improve from 2017?

I believe so.

WV controlled this one. Lloyd struggled to move the ball offensively no TD's and only a few first downs. Offensively, WV scored 3 times with the first group. Lloyd is talented team but WV showed a good all around game for a first scrimmage.

Just wait till NewCath plays Walton.

They don't play this year. They are also both cross bracketed so they would not see each other till very late in the playoffs .

Who are you agreeing with?

DRKARK. Sorry missed the quote button and hit reply.

Agreed, they have to be up there.

I would like to see W-V step up their scheduling a bit

 

Their schedule last year was not bad by any means, a very good LCA and an "up" KCD.

 

But when you share a class with teams like CAL, DeSales,Mayfield, and Danville you have got to really push yourself, especially when your District is usually going to be pretty "meh".

 

I'd like to see W-V replace teams like Holmes, Cov Holy Cross, and Bellevue and upgrade those spots.

 

Maybe get one of the NKY 6A teams like a Conner or Dixie Heights, try to get a Beechwood or one of the better small schools in Cincy, maybe try to snag either a Lexington Public 6A school or a team like Madison Central.

 

I understand why Coach Barth scheduled like he has to this point and it was the right thing to do. Get wins, build confidence, get kids out.... but now that they are sustaining success it is time to take the next step.

Yeah I get where your going but some of those teams ie Holy Cross were having down years. I think their schedule is good for now with the addition of Newport Catholic being put on next years schedule. The district schedule has not helped getting ready for playoffs the last couple of years but hopefully things will get better with our district foes. I think Carroll County will be better this year and others.

Walton needs to be able to open the passing game up. Garrett Jones has a really nice ball and Pardee should be a big target, being 6'4. Johnny Martin should be a key player on the offense side of the ball.

Need to block before anything else. Need some people to step up on the line or the rest does not matter.

CAL had a great team, but the game was far from a whitewash. 7-0 with 6 minutes left in the half. Walton player grazed a kickoff that went out of bounds at the 1 yd line. Instead of 1st & 10 at the 35, pinned under the shadow of the goal line. An interception a few plays later set up a short field for 14-0 halftime score.

 

It looked like CAL's size & strength took its toll in the 2nd half. Walton's best shot at a score was gobbled away late by the turf monster.

 

I'm not privy to the events leading up to the game. It looked like Walton was at full strength, and their full strength wasn't good enough. The Bearcats need to keep building, the first decade is in the books.

This is accurate. Not a blow out at all. CAL is a very good team but they are not at LCA's level at offensively.

I look forward to seeing this game with the defending State Champions coming to the Bearcat Den. I am going with the Bearcats!

Ma'am, not sir, but your point stands. :thumb:

My apologies...Lol..

I've been involved in games where this was the case. Those reading the score and stats get offended, but in a real game scenario, there wasn't much you could do besides tell the last string kids not to try and that's just wrong.

Yes sir exactly, reading the score does not tell the story.

Didn't think this was about running up the score but I guess I was wrong. Unless WV was going to take a knee for three quarters this was bound to happen. Starters were out by beginning of 2nd quarter and the play calling was extremely vanilla . WV did not throw a pass the entire second half. The play calling looked like they were calling 2 plays only on offense. Not running up the score and if you were there you would know that.

WV advances to play CAL. I look forward to it.

I see two running clocks in WV's future. This Friday they'll put one on Shawnee. Next Friday they will have one put on them by CAL.

I look forward to seeing CAL should WV get by Shawnee.

I wouldn't make a big deal out of playing a very struggling program

that has 16 kids

That's making a big deal????Huh????

Much respect for both teams and I have seen both teams play. I don't think Walton will be an easy push over for them if WV can play up to their potential.

If that holds true.

We will see.

This game was a mess. The field was a swamp. Onward to welcoming Shawnee to the Bearcat Den!

Impressed that Danville was able to slow down that offense.

Ugly game...

On kickoff....

Agree and that use to be New Richmond until till this year when there was a scheduling change I heard.

They can't control the district play schedule but East Jessamine, KCD and LCA were meant to bolster that I am sure.

Carroll looks improved but Walton names the score in this one.
