Sallies vs Smyrna part deux

I had Salesianum #1 wire to wire and bottom line is Sals #28 has already won POY. Neither team gonna hit 1/2 a hundred this week boys.

With NH at QB and healthy- Smyrna can def.win this game but they cannot allow #28 to run wild or as Ches put it "Jim Thorpe like performance". Loss of Sals QB not a factor in this one but poss loss of Eagles QB would give it to Sals.
 
Bummy is a dufus (although a lovable one). The object known to everyone, or almost every one, is to score more points than the opposition.
 
Lmao youjustme @ rr sounding defenserestrian lol. I just think rr aka assclown likes to get a rise out of people lol. Its going to be a good game this weekend as I said before I give the edge to the Sals but dont count Smyrna out jeez cant believe I am saying that but its true they are on a mission and if they stay focused it could possibly happen . But im leaning towards Sallies .

bummy claims SALS were dominated in first game. I am sure if domination equals winning by 20 SALS will accept another domination. Bummy can be so silly at times
The assumption on these boards seems to me that because the Sals are using a back up QB, there will be no passing game. That kid Gwynn has the arm and the confidence to do what's asked of him and I'll bet BDN is betting Smyrna will be stacking the box...should be a great game.
 
I think Smyrna finishes the fairy tale season with a championship. If Henderson plays or not (word has it he's been throwing the ball at practice this week), Smyrna just seems to have a plan for everything. I assume that would include slowing down Reeder, who might go down as one of the best RBs ever in the state. Sallies has to find someone else to step up alongside him, and if they don't, there's the difference.

Smyrna 34, Sallies 28.

eagle control, if I said that then you would be correct. If I said that Smyrna dominated the game that would be hyperbole. Let me go back and review my beliefs on this.

In the first game the Slowskys took a 21-0 lead in the first 4 minutes. In the 3rd quarter Smyrna took a 36-35 lead. That means the Eagles dominated the Sals 36-14 (5 TD's to 2) for the middle of the game. It was a real beat down. After an exchange of scores, there was a 20 minute injury delay. Coach Judy and most everyone at the game knows that this worked in the Sals favor. It gave them a chance to catch their breath and take Smyrna out of their rhythm.

I was at the game.

Gentleman, I rest my case.

You guys that are saying that WP "easily" shut down the Smyrna offense - did you see the game? Smyrna was only inches away from 3 TD's in the first half when guys were wide open deep but Henderson over threw all of them. He wouldn't have continued to do that. He would soon have been completing those for TD's.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
 
I did make the Smryna / Penn game. I picked Smyrna in that one. Someone told me WP essentially ran Sallies offense , at least in the first half.

Is that true ?

WP ran their regular Wing T/ Double Wing if I remember correctly with a few spread plays sprinkled in. they may have ran a few I plays and wishbone plays also. Completely different than the Sallies I as Sals always has a good lead blocking fullback and they set up the FB trap well as well as PA passes. Sals doesn't run allot of plays but what they run they run and block well. SO the answer is no,, even if they ran I its wasn't sallies offense.. No Jerome, No Reeder and not the same blocking scheme

Amazing! good stuff. Some folks have been pointing towards the sound JV and freshman teams, (new QB been seeing lots of action on Mondays). Certainly you give him no chance?

Hardly a beat down, but it sure was fun to watch! Obviously, I was pleased with the outcome. It was one of those really wild and exciting games that leaves the fans as worn out as the players.

I'm not sure I want a repeat other than the outcome.
 
Unc B...I just hope everyone up North has plenty of bananas and electrolytes. I wouldn't want the rhythm of the game inadvertently compromised by cramping or anything! Sallies played extremely well the last time. Not only did the injury disrupt Smyrna's momentum, more importantly, it took out the teams best tackler and defensive leader. Not saying the outcome would have been different but with defensive guy out, next best guy distraught over twin brother, entire team (and maybe staff included) deflated it was certainly more of a longshot. I think the resiliency shown when QB was stretcher'd off this past weekend speaks to the maturity and lessons learned from that Sallies experience. But what do I know?! :)

youjustme, good job. As you can see by Brad's article he is pumping the fact that Smyrna's defense has improved tremendously. Looks like Brad is trending to pick Smyrna in the title game.
 
At Sallies, you get one "F" you are done. Several years ago that figured in a playoff loss to Delcastle when the star running back failed a course . Delcastle has been celebrating ever since.
 
rr2...your source was correct but this was 4 or 5 weeks ago so any impact should not be felt going into the championship.

Saturday forecast- 52 degrees, Sunny, NW winds 4-7
"eagle control, eagle control...roger that...Smyrna 52-Sallies 47...I repeat Smyrna 52-Sallies 47...message received and authenticated. It's good to have you on board, Skipper. Over and Out!"
 
Sallies Gwynn did exactly what was asked of him last week, manage the game. Both teams played ran the ground attack offense so he didn't need to drop back and throw a bomb to win. I feel this weekend will be the same scenario. Smyrna has had the philosophy not to at players both ways, I think that goes out the window saturday. You want your best players on the feild as much as you can in a championship game.

I'm rooting for Smyrna in this one but picking the Sals. No score prediction. I also believe that if Smyrna is gonna win the championship, they HAVE to do it this year. Talking to a friend of mine last Friday at the game who has no side in game, even with all the players returning next year for Smyrna, if any teams are gonna figure that offense out, it's the northern teams, sallies, pen, Middletown, concord. The teams who plays top notch defense. That offensive scheme won't be a factor come playoff time. They might roll through the HN and get a high seed, but those top teams year in and year out will stop it come next year. It's mirrored chip Kelly's. He did great his first year with it, and now look where he's at.

Good luck to all 4 teams remaining. Looking forward to great games hopefully, and especially the game in between the two title games. So proud this state adopted the program so these kids with disabilities (if you wanna call it that) cause most of these kids don't consider it a "disability" they are just another kid, that one should be the best game all season.
 
I agree that Smyrna will win a championship, just not this year. Here's my reason. The Sals offensive line. I've watched them in recent years and this corps is the best, even better than the 2013 Championship version. In particular; pay attention to the two tackles, Domenico Marra and Randy Sinnott. They are really good in their blocking and footwork. Those gaping holes that Reeder and Jarome ran thru all season were likely their doing. Sinnott would not surprise me if he draws a lot of FBS interest next season. BTW; Zach Gwinn was the QB on the undefeated frosh team of two years ago. Nice size and poise. I think he will do fine. IF Smyrna loads up the box big, they will pay. One other aside that no one is talking about. In the second half of the shootout game (where the Sals were dominated according to Uncle Bunny), Knight was a non-factor in the second half.
 
"You want your best players on the feild as much as you can in a championship game.

@HSftballlaxFan,...I think that the adjustments made in the Penn game with the wildcat showed that some of the defensive players made a difference when used on offense so I too would be surprised if more players didn't spend more time going both ways. As far a next year's offensive for Smyrna, I would agree that more teams will be prepared for the offense but disagree as to whether it will be a factor. The Smyrna coaches will evolve and develop the scheme as time goes by. I can't imagine that quality of a staff remaining stagnant long and watching people catch up. The biggest factor for Smyrna will be graduating 18 seniors so even if the scheme remains effective, the personnel may not quite be able to carry it out as this year. This will be their best year to get the title just because of the cyclic nature of high school sports team rosters.

With that pick you are ordered to land. Land immediately
