I think stats are misleading because some coaches leave kids in when they are up, and some do not. I know that in several games the Bowman kid was pulled early because they were up by a lot.
If you broke it down by quarters (instead of games), the Smyrna kids stats would be even more impressive. Some of the kids have had helmets on in only a few fourth quarters.
Yeah against Conrad, and Red Lion.... If others played them.....Im just saying he wasn't that impressive against IR, Woodbridge, and he's got Lake Forest coming to town this Friday
Cmon now Smynra has left their starters in when the game was well in hand in the 4th quarter I have seen it that's most of the reason why they score so many points hell I have watched Penn they could put 50+ points on the board every week but their starters are done by end of 3rd quarter in some of their games when game is in hand . This isnt college where you run up the score like Smyrna has each week on schools . You dont think their are some pissed off coaches in the state that dont forget what Smyrna does each week putting up 50 or more on weak teams cmon man !!!!!!
Exactly, if your team's up big put the starters on the bench. Their body of work speaks for itself.
I said you cannot go by stats. As you made my point he didn't play most of the 4 games you mentioned. He had a great game against IR. Well over 100 yards. Woodbridge had a great game plan 8 in the box. QB's killed Milford in that game. He is just going to get better. I think he is only a 10th grader
I think there have been games that starters were in longer that I would have let them but there have been more games where starters didn't play in 4th quarter except in extra points or kicking formations. I think you statement that the big numbers for Smyrna kids is because of leaving them in long time is incorrect. I'm quite sure I have seen as many of their games as anyone else and a lot more that most. For the Smyrna offense, 50 points is a minimum threshold. The standards are different. Back in the days of 20 something to teen something game scores, 30 points seems like a lot and time to take foot off the gas if the margin was a couple of touchdowns. The game has changed and of course some coaches are going to be upset. But the coaches in Smyrna preach enthusiasm, high motor, execution, and getting after it. They expect to score 50 every game. That is their new normal. Like it or not, there really isn't a run up the score mentality there. It just business as usual and not a big deal. That's what the coaches want the kids to believe in. BTW, "well in hand" is a tricky business...it can easily turn into "out of hand".
You cannot blame a kid for his schedule. Especially when the previous coach, who was the Athletic Director created that schedule after back to back 1-9 seasons. I think if you went back and talked to DMA and IR you would think other wise. He ran all over DMA, inexcusable penalties hurt Milford. Then against IR, Bowman was the show for Milford, definitely went over 100 against them.
In my opinion i never said he was terrible or that bad, i just don't think he's near the top of the list when you talk about running backs. Yeah he was the show for Milford (Congrats), but so what... You guys are getting all worked up over a comment of "My Opinion"
Yeah, those consecutive runs of 35 and 50 yards to give Milford the lead with under four minutes left against IR were not impressive. Then, after the Bucs coughed up the lead with under a minute left, that 60 yard kick off return was unimpressive as well. He should be ashamed.

Again in my opinion he's not among the best backs...never said he should be ashamed of anything...you've seen IR from your other posts....how good are they on Special Teams or Defense?
DJ bowman is one of the best backs I've seen this year Easily. idk what this guy is talking. Against IR he ran all over them, and the offense had the ball for only a few minutes as IR dominated T.O.P. and he still had well over 100. but something to keep in mind is that he was hurt against woodbridge after his touchdown in the first quarter of that game and finished with an amazing effort on defense, on offense a back cant get going if hes getting hit as soon as he gets the hand off. Rumor has it he wasnt even supposed to play against delmar and put up over 100 easily. And he is only a sophomore
The thread is about "Stats" You are most certainly entitled to your opinion. I'm pointing out your inaccuracy about the stats for the IR game. Over 100 yards rushing against a defense that played 8-9 in the box the entire game, those are good numbers. Then add in a 60 yard kickoff return, that adds to the all purpose total.
IR defense and special teams are decent, nothing too outstanding. Every team in the south has flaws this year, Milford's lack of a passing game and inconsistent offensive line play has been a big problem for them.
