I watched the Canfield game on the computer and was grateful that OHSAA permitted playoff game to be broadcast. Congrats on a home playoff win .. Unfortunately this coming Friday against Riverside someone commented above and stated to give Terrance Thomas the ball as much as possible which I’d agree with until the opponent double-teams him like Canfield did against T Thomas and Cam Thompson in Canfield game and then boardmans foolish offensive play callers don’t have the ability to adjust or simply be content to run the ball because the run game was there the entire game but they want to force-feed passing , or the plays they prefer to call rather than call what’s available or what the opponents defense is giving up like in Canfield game and Cuyahoga Fallsgame as well ! Boardman actually continued to throw the ball vs Cuy falls when they we’re up by 32 pts in 3rd qtr on 1st and 2nd down against demoralized Cuyahoga Falls team even when the game clock by a mercy rule was in effect with a running clock which tells me that these are distorted scores against teams and they want to showcase pass and not establish run game . Boardmans lack of success against good teams reflects their poor decision making in every area possible Coaching wise . When it matters against the better teams boardman poor play call decisions reflect in the offensive points scored bc boardman dosnt sustain drives and as a result against the better teams (Ursuline 7 points I think) (,Fitch 3 points) , and Canfield when BHS only scores measily 6 points even when Triveri was back as starter in that one against Canfield when Boardman could have had 300 rushing yards with anyone of the BHS running backs and could have scored 21 points easily if they ran the ball ! But these play callers crap themselves and do NOT put these players in a position to succeed or win including Triveri bc they either can’t adjust or only want to let certain players touch ball most often even if double teamed when the opponents defense are forcing and giving boardman the running lanes but the play callers can’t help themselves unfortunately and try and call all this crazy play call on really important 2nd and 3rd and 2 yards for a 1st down type drives . Run the ball when available and it helps keep BHS defense off the field and grind clock which keeps boardmans suspect defense off the field .It will open up the pass even bigger success after a qtr or so. .. i’m certainly not saying don’t throw because their are so many big Weapon threats on the offensive side of the ball but it’s almost as if the Coaches think they have to be this crazy non huddle high paced majority throwing team rather than just take what the defense gives and that’s why this offensive play calling staff needs to go .... Against any decent opponent Boardman will lose by being out coached.... 80% of Boardmans losses over the past 6 years are from being out coached unfortunately!!I’m sure you pass lovers no matter what will go crazy over this and distort my point but I just prefer to win regardless of how I have to win and it dosnt have to be all highlight reel play calls !,, Regardless good luck this week bc if approached and coached properly it’s a winnable game . But history tells me the definition of insanity will apply again unfortunately but I hope I’m wrong ..
