Happy for wc. Great for the conference if their competitive.
Agree
Yes, the Skyhawks came back from a 0-17 deficit to tie with 35 seconds left & converted a two point conversion to do it. Here is the Hook & Ladder play that won it for Sidney with seconds left on the clock ... posted on twitter by Fairborn's EZ Cameraman - Have to give Sidney credit as they ran it perfectly. Fairborn was playing without 3 starters (5 positions) including the MVL's leading receiver for catches at the time. They had knocked the Sidney QB out of the game and beat up EJ Davis who left the game repeatedly but finished it like a true soldier. Their 2-4 record is misleading & could easily be 4-2 and possibly even 5-1. With that said, they have some tough competition ahead in the last 4 games to include Troy & Xenia who have everyone out manned.
Last time Greenville beat Tipp was 14 years ago. Last year Tipp was ahead at the half by 43-0 on Greenville. 50 point swing between last year and this years final scores. What a difference a year makes ... or coaching change. Greenville has a new HC this year.
Puckett knows what he is doing & knows the game. He is building a culture.
The first two pages we all had a thought it would be down. But with that, has been some exciting football. Next 3-5 years should be really good though. A quality team may go 5-5. But, no one will make noise in the tourney I am afraid.
Unless another Bowser or Gordon comes along, don't hold your breath. This coaching staff hasn't done anything before or after those 2. Correct me if I am wrong.
Exactly, obviously the competition got better, but from 2009-2015 Tipp had the best talent they have ever had. There has been maybe 1-2 kids the last 2 Tipp teams that could play college ball. Between 2013 and 2015 Tipp had 5/7 guys each year who went on to play ball and not just at the D3 level. They had Jakob Hall, Jacob Prall, Zac Blair, Austin Clack, Alex Demers, Tyler Hunter, Cade Rogers, Jarret Watson, Cameron Johnson. All those guys came within 3 years of each other and are some of the best players Tipp has ever had. Since Tipp joined the GWOC, only Cade Rogers was on the team. They still had guys like Cole Barhorst, Josh Burrit and Matt Garber but they have no one like that now. Probably the biggest thing is that Tipp doesn’t have a solid QB like they did for 10-15 years and they don’t have a stud running back. At one point Tipp had multiple stud running backs every year. They don’t even have 1 this year
I meant passing wise, that is of course if the O-line and WRs could step up, but having seen this team, probably not
I was at the Xenia/Butler game and #24 looked really awkward coming down after his long catch. Looked awful. Is he okay? I'm assuming he broke something really bad. Is he a senior? Sure hope not. An awful way to have a career ended.
I didn't notice another bad injury besides #24 -- who else got dinged up?
