Thoughts?
Loser is done in terms of winning the LPD in my opinion. It's one of those games where I feel like Union has everything to lose and nothing to gain while Clintwood has everything to gain and nothing to lose. This is an average Clintwood team that Union must beat if they hope to get to where they want to be. Turnovers make the difference, I'm picking the ball control Bears to hold onto the ball.
Union by 40 Clintwood takes another beat down. Bring on the Raiders, Warriors, so we can beatch slap them, and give us that LPD Crown.
This game IMO comes down to depth. Clintwood seems to be a little beaten up at the moment but not as bad as earlier this season, and Union is conditioned better than Ive seen from any team I have seen this season. Clintwood will probably be good conditioning wise but depth wise will be the difference. IMHO this will come down to the 4 quarter and like all the other games Union's conditioning will take over as well as there depth and the bears win a tight one late in the 4th quarter. Also look for a low scoring game seeing that both teams play a ball controll offense and a power stopping Deffense.
Depth is an issue no doubt about it.....BTW who will be takeing over for #3 (TE/WR that dislocated an elbow near the end of the VHS game)Quote:

I didn't know Zac Barker got hurt? Yeah, he and Bowman were already sharing the position. I guess Bowman will just man it by himself for a while.
Will be more than a while, elbow this late in could be season ending.
Elbow injuries including dislocations are of course something I'm use to dealing with as a former grappling coach. Unless the injury is especially bad you are looking at about 6 weeks, maybe a little less, maybe a little more.
Hmm so no 2 TE sets then? I was wondering what there plans were with that (Seemed to me that after the injury Union could not get any yards on the ground and had to throw one up in the air in OT to get the Win over VHS)Quote:

I hate that the Barker kid got hurt, but it will hopefully get us away from the jumbo two tightend set. IMO itll help us to change it up a bit. Unions passing game has won all of its games for real. Passing against Lee for the yards needed to drive in that last run on a 4th and 7. All we did against Lebanon was pass pretty much. Something like 200 pluse passing yards, and ofcourse overtime 4 and 3 touchdown pass against VHS. The pass isnt a bad thing for Union.

Will someone please tell 93.5 bunch how to pronounce the Fisher guy's name?
You are spot on. The passing game got us beat. Union had no reason to come out in the spread and start throwing the ball. If it aint broke dont fix it. Union was running the ball well enough to hold on to the lead and wouldnt have thrown three interceptions if they were running. As far as the Defense goes, I hate that defense Union is trying to run. the 4 3 or 4 4 is the best high school defense to run IMO with the type of players Union has. This leaving 3 to 4 gaps open for 2 linebackers to cover aint gonna cut itQuote:

Just run your power running game and hold on to the football. But I do congratulate the Union team on being a class act. Very good sportsmanship. Good luck the rest of the season.Quote:
