McQueary is a set shooter, he's not going to create a shot for himself...not taking anything away from McNeil because he is a very talented young man and i saw some great defense from him last night.

Score?

I wouldn't say a bunch, i beleive that it is only 2.

What has changed from last year for Boyle to do this? I watched them several times last year and didn't see much. I hope your right but fill me in on what has changed?

Correct it was a kickoff return. The mistakes were mentioned in my previous post and yes you are correct the first 15 minutes of the game were the deciding factor.

Agreed!

I do not normally post in the football forum but was compelled to on this occasion as I was in attendance. First hats off to Beechwood this was a very good game and a lot closer than the score shows. To say that Beechwood beat Boone in "all phases of the game” in my opinion is not accurate. Boone made mistakes and killed themselves but were really never out of it. Boone ran the ball very well and with much success. They were stopped 3 teams inside the 20 once by interception and twice on the goal line by great defense on Beechwoods part. In the second half I do not think Beechwood made it across the 50 yard line except for on the scoring punt return play. Boone's Defense did its job in the second half the offense just couldn't convert. I do not have the official stats but this game was much closer and more evenly matched than the score shows. I will agree the better coached team won in this case. There were several decisions on the Boone side that left me shaking my head. For example that lack of utilizing the mismatch on occasion in the WR role on the left side. When you have a receiver that is a foot taller than the defender who is pointing that receiver to the outside from the line try to loft one over the top and let them go get it, at least once. Passing on 3rd down from the 2 yard line basically wasting a down when your run game got you there. Now I am not a football coach and do not know what occurs in practice so my observations hopefully are taken as that.

This might need some explaining!

AGREED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its hard to say who looks good and who doesn't with the mix of players you have on these teams.

I think there was interest I personally know of one that didn't even get a call and was qualified!

Your gonna need a bigger word than wow from what I heard.

Nice one! Got a chuckle on a long monday!

Basic offense? What is a basic offense? Offense is offense right. Execution is the key. I have no clue anything about this guy but I hate it when people state basic offense.

Not sure i know the history prior to 09 but were the expectation higher prior to this? What caused the change when he came in? Not given the guy much time to build.

Fookes a mere -mortal high school girls coach?

My guess is when he hit the floor he reagined possesion... I don't know? It was a weird series of events for sure

Two things here if the ball became pinned under his body then he didn't have control meaning no walk could occur. Right? Secondly, He didn't end up on the floor of his own free will from my point of view it sure did look like a foul. I have no stake in this game as i do not support eithier team. Good game and well officiated, unlike the ladies game!

They did not mention it as the MVP but the last person in both the girls and boys All Tourney Team was the MVP, I saw the plaque they handed them

AMEN!

I wasn't at the game and I have had my doubts about Dixie... apparently they are the real deal... my props go to dixie!

21 to 5? that cannot be right!

Good questions but really no feelings on eithier side. I don't think Stanley gets enough credit for the role he plays. He plays very solid and rarely turns the ball over (at least in the games i have seen) He also was the second leading scorer last night. No doubt Downs played a great game but Stanley did as well.

As a Boone supporter it was a walk! Nice move but a walk. Downs had a great night a little shakey early with some early turnovers but he did handle the pressure well. I was more impressed with Stanleys play. He made big shots when they needed them and was steady all night.
