Pv score

I thought Honaker ran the ball well particularly in the first quarter...at least, consistently. They had numerous players playing both sides and it eventually became too much for them. #22 is a hoss, but not enough players to keep him rested. And boy, did Murphy put a hit on him! PV best find a deep man on defense or they will be exploited by a good passing offense. If I was coach, I would put Addison back in there at safety. He's played the position better than anyone thus far.

Myron is a bull. If he keeps his head on, and receives good instruction, he will likely be a record-breaking back by his sr. year.

Once again, I found the weak side of the defense vulnerable. Hopefully some changes forthcoming...nah, probably not.

Was basically my analysis of the game. Our Offense plays better and better as each game goes by, and Myron is a haus! Our Defense was slightly exposed tonight, and if PV was to make it to half state, Giles has some big ol boys, much bigger than the boys from Honaker.

I wouldnt call it a knock by PHD, Ball is just a really good back and their line is as big as I have seen this year, no knock by PHD or on the Vikings, its just the truth, they have a good running team with the 2 things you need. Honaker played well, but PV is just better overall, I wouldnt call it a "warning sign" or a "red light" a team doesnt get into the playoffs without doing something well. PV could have thrown all day against the Tigers, something they should have done against Burton as well, but anyone who has watched the last 5 PV games can see we are watching something special in Myron Pinkston, dont sleep on Malcom either, his ankle injury has hampered him. Looking like all that hype PV got, is coming to fruition by maturity. Like I said, people skated on them earlier in the year, Ill trade 2 non-LPD losses for the season they are having, Burton played better in their game and won against the Vikings, but still isnt the irony heavy the kicker who beat PV misses against CWOOD and they lose, shew.

PV still is weak on the run, but things have improved.

I don't think Honaker would have had the yards rushing if Tim Thomas hadn't waited forever to place more than 5 in the box. Once they did, Honaker was pretty much stymied. Shouldn't take forever to make an obvious adjustment. But then again, probably wasn't Tim's call...Phil has to make all calls!

I guess so, I dont think it mattered as much. Honaker just ran the ball well, its what they did best or do best.

Speaking of Myron, since you were there at the game, did you see that one play where he ran it up the middle and nearly pushed through the entire pile? It looked like he was just about to make it out of the pile, but one of the guys finally took him down just as he was coming out.. but I swear I thought for a second that he was actually going to come out of the pile and break loose for a touchdown!

IMO, the Vikings have more individual talent than any other team in Region D. If they had come together early in the season, they could have produced a really special team this year. Maybe it's not too late.

Honaker played hard and was well coached, but I don't think they should have ran the ball as successfully as they did against the PV defense. It seems that this years' Vikings just don't execute consistently. They Vikes' D backs and linemen were much quicker than the Tigers' O, yet they often ran themselves out of the play or guessed wrong. Maybe it's the calls the defensive coaches are making but I suspect it is just lack of proper execution. But let me add, I do think the Vikings defense is playing better now than earlier this season.
