Quiet again on this board....hmm....
What did everyone come away with tonight from the games they witnessed?
HS Takeaways from Middletown Campus.....
- Elkton came to play. Has a Quarterback that knows where his receivers are going to be before he even lets go of the ball. You don’t see that quality much in high school.
- Elktons Wide Receiver who committed to Villanova was probably the best athlete on the field today. Not sure of the kids name but he’s going to be doing big things at the next level.
- I came away last year with this same assessment and I’m walking away with it again tonight, If Elkton was a DIAA member, they would cause fits for any one they would play here. Top 5 in the state for sure (IF they played here)
- Middletown looked rough. In the game against Elkton the DBs seemed to have trouble sticking to their man, or knowing when to let their man go to the safety. Got better as the game went on and went extremely well against North east.
- Braden Davis did play today, and it was hard to judge his play because it seemed like where he threw the ball the receivers had trouble holding onto them. But once again, as the night went on, it got better and seemed like it was a natural art to him. I believe The more time spent with his receivers, and the more time his receivers catch a football from him the better that chemistry is going to be going into the season on both ends.
- The Referee counting on the Middletown side of the field should learn the rulebook. Counts 1,2,3 then Whistle.....where it’s my understanding it’s 1,2,3,4 THEN whistle. NO TEAM can run their full route in 3 seconds. But, he got better as the night went on as well. Lol
- Lake Forest was actually throwing the ball and seemed like they had much success against Elkton. Didn’t see much from the north east game.
- North East had a very difficult time moving the ball against Middletown. I think they only received 1 first down. I don’t know much about this team but I would assume they are more of a running team then an aerial attack. If it’s the same QB from last season he has certainly improved his passing but couldn’t find the open receiver, if there was one.
Overall......Elkton won the day! and deservedly so. As a spectator, it was fairly quiet on the field compared to what I’m usually seeing. Didn’t see much from players helping teammates if it was needed, they left it to the coaching staffs. As far as trash talking, there wasn’t much of that, if anything, seemed like all 4 teams was just out there having fun and trying to get better.
