That’s my name on that logo zoom in. I took ownership after fairmont beat them again this year. Also look at my posts more of making fun of a fan than bashing Springfield. I give them props when they deserve them. Even complimented Douglass on changing it up this year halfway through the season. If a team can afford me I’ll put my name on a contract.
I agree...the more I watched the game and learned how things developed for Springfield over the season, the more impressed I was. The way the half ended turned out to be huge. Congrats to both teams...this was a great game to watch!
Springfield coach Mo Douglass agrees, but sees hope for the future. He said after the game, “They just lean into you with those big guys with all that strength and size and wear you out … and there’s not much you can do about it. They might have worn us out at the end, but the good thing is those big guys up front won’t be back next year, so I like my chances if we see them again.”
To think that Brandon is just a sophomore is pretty frightening. Yes he gets to play for that stacked o line, but he makes many plays himself and has exceptional vision for a high school sophomore. I’m excited to see how he develops!
Thanks for reminding some of us that he is only a freaking sophomore...
He’s big on using regular season stats and playoff performances as the basis of his argument. Ed’s is never going to have off the chart stats due to the quality schedule they play every year. None of that matters to me when you play games in late November when the weather takes a turn and you have to be able to run the ball and control the clock. Every game against Springfield, St. Edward was able to control the clock in the 4th quarter and keep Springfields best players on the sideline. That is a huge credit to Coach Lombardo. He knows how to win.
To your point, here are the 4th quarter stats in the last three championship games:
This. With 9 seconds, you can get two cracks at it only if the first one is a pass. Upshaw couldn't find a reciever but thought he could get to the pylon.
Good point. Both Upshaw and Scott were tough. Glad Eaton was able come up and make the stop.
Springfield was a really tough, resilient team. A lot of other teams would have folded their tents when Eds went up 14-0 in the 1st. Not Springfield. I thought they were as close to Massillon as we saw all year. I now understand how they beat Moeller.
In the press conference, Mo allowed his guy was supposed to throw it away quickly if nothing was available, and did in fact go off script when he ran it.
Keep in mind, Bullock was out vs Massillon.
Keep in mind, Massillon beat St. Ed. Did it last year with Bullock. You couldn't, you haven't, you won't.
Douglass says they'll be back in this game to win it, and I believe him. SHS has become a dynasty as a small town public school in D1 that Ohio has never seen before. The slight difference in this game was the competitive imbalance St Eds has enjoyed for years. And I've posted about that before and after this game, as others have done. Given how it never was a level and even playing field, SHS played St Eds and Bullock the toughest of any team on St Ed's schedule this year. SHS made alot of history as a 5-5 #12 seed this year that no one else has ever done. So why don't you give up your recruiting and competitive advantage and see how well your team does??
He’s made that promise multiple times
No. Elder played them much tougher actually
We didn’t lose to Massillon because Bullock was out. We lost to Massillon because we couldn’t tackle Owens.
But X was a #8 seed, not #12. So SHS did make history this year as the #12 seed, also with Norman's kickoff return for TD. It will happen very soon. Same way it did with the GCL and R4.
Your backup qb is no Bullock. You would have won with Bullock. He runs very well.
5-5 X is better than a 5-5 SHS
