The Tigers played ball-control with a few big plays from the arm of QB Osborne. Loramie had a tough week 1 opponent in Minster. Thoughts on the game?
what happened to the Gehret boy?Brothers Osborne have had huge games against FL the past two years. First Jack O. with over 200 yrds rushing. Then last year younger brother Michael O. had a big game with 3 receiving TD's. Osborne has another big game this year, along with receivers Griesdorn, Bergman, and Watren. RB's Henry and Francis will continue to improve and gain confidence. Not sure if Gehret is back this week, but if so watch out. The line played well against some pretty big Bulldogs last week. Tigers by 4 TD's
Separated shoulder I believe. Only kicked PATs against Celina.what happened to the Gehret boy?
When Jack had his big game, FL just were wore out playing on a hot humid night. Jack just played Offense. Depth will be a facror this week with temperature in the 90s. Players will need to hydrate, and coaches are going to need to rotate players to help prevent cramping.Brothers Osborne have had huge games against FL the past two years.

one boy from the FORT cramped up on the field last weekWhen Jack had his big game, FL just were wore out playing on a hot humid night. Jack just played Offense.

FL Boys are in school while Versailles will be enjoying their last day of summer.
Did FL have any cramping issues Last week vs Minster?
Versailles had one player cramp up vs Celina. Celina had several boys.

It would make the offense more balanced if a short passage game were successfully carried out along with the ground and pound and broken play long passes.Looking forward to this one too. I’d assume Gehret will be held out, but Tigers have solid running back play waiting. Something I’d like to see the Tigers do more is throw the ball. Very talented receivers. Marion and Coldwater know who Michael Osborne is. They’ll prevent his legs so we’ll have to beat them by extending the field. Just not sure Celina’s line gave them anytime to do so.

Well I think we are a heavy run team and Goodwin knows that. He stacks the box forcing us to pass.It's interesting when folks talk about Versailles being a run heavy team (New Bremen as well). I only get to see them when they play Marion Local. Consequently I come away from the experience thinking Versailles and New Bremen are the two best passing teams we play. I recall Versailles putting together one drive in particular last year that chewed up most of the quarter with a series of short passes. It was frustrating actually. Obviously Marion Local took the running game away from them but I thought their passing game was very good.

I would think this team has the talent to pass the ball when teams stack the box, but it just hasn't showed itself yet.Yeah but you guys passed that ball very well. Didn't seem at all like a team that you can beat simply by stacking the box.
Pretty good outcome to that game tho!Last time Versailles visited FL was the hottest football game I ever attended. ( if not for rain delay, there would have been serious cramping problems)If tonight is like last night, it couldd be just as bad, so humid!
What will it feel like at 7 and start of 3rd quarter?
7 = 92 Dergrees, 3rd 88 degrees.
I think the only way to beat Marion is to throw the ball. You may have limited success running the ball but more time than not they find a way to stuff you. The Flyers only weakness (and most teams are this way) is an athletic quarterback who can extend plays and beat you with stuff they don’t see on tape. Marion is the best coached, most disciplined high school football team in the state, and honestly it’s not even close.It's interesting when folks talk about Versailles being a run heavy team (New Bremen as well).
