This desales team got dominated by Hartley who our boys at West had to face, shows you how good Hartley really is.

West had the Most Experienced Team in the league this year. That is why I thought they may be able to pull off an SOC crown and probably should have based on how many starters other teams lost. Good luck to West on possibly getting in the playoffs.[/quote] I really don't think this is possible consi...

It was a fairly clean game tonight, West needed good play out of their QB and to be completely mistake free and neither happened. Clearly outmatched tonight, but they can live another week with a Portsmouth win tomorrow, thanks to Waverly smacking Chesapeake. Another week of practice is just further...

West playing Waverly & Minford so close is the head scratcher for me. They should have steamrolled both of them on their way to the SOC title. That's what SOC champs have done in the past. West did not. Wheelersburg did. Of course Ohio State lost to a Virginia Tech team that they should've stom...

I think West makes a few plays defensively and on special teams, and commits no turnovers to pull out a close win in a classic game for all ages.

I didn't see this thread anywhere, then I post a new thread and this one pops up, WEST should win this game. They are the healthiest they have been and now their offense is looking like it could be quite explosive on the ground and through the air. Having John Berry back on the defense made their al...

Looked like West's defense was much improved last week with some injured guys returning, and the offense appears to be hitting stride with more contributors, thoughts on this week?

West 42 Rock Hill 6

Amanda Clearcreek 20 Liberty Union 16

West had about 150 rushing between welch and kegley, and 100 passing between Irwin and welch
15 first downs to LU's 12
Time of possession was 29min to 19min in favor of west
However west had 9 Penalties as compared to 5 for LU

Tough loss, I'm sure west out gained liberty but could not finish 2 drives that would have given them the lead at half. Was not overly impressed with LU, didn't seem to be utilizing the many athletes they have on offense. Obviously they are a good team but can see them going 6-4 or 7-3, with a possi...

And they all left LU with the minimal time allowed a coach to quit. The three amigos are now at West. LU has a brand new coach, much like West does, except LU got no summer program. The West Johnson family have been at LU for 29 years and left at the last minute. I don't have any tolerance for that...

I would say that if anything they are confident that they can win, not that they will win, saying they will win seems a little strong.

Any significant injuries to speak of after 2 weeks for West? West lost two starters during scrimmages, not sure when or if they'll be coming back. The paper said one of the defensive lineman was injured against Newark Catholic. I did see a defender leave against Portsmouth with an apparent shoulder...

Trevar Welch - West 164 yards rushing on 20 carries, and 2 TD's 11 tackles on defense, including a solo sack on a very elusive QB 5 punts with a net average of 43 yards, including 3 punts inside the 10 yard line http://www.maxpreps.com/games/football-fall-14/portsmouth-vs-portsmouth-west/9-5-2014-Eo...

Several teams do it because they don't have true kickers, (most of southern Ohio) but usually it's a squib kick down the field resulting in the team still getting the ball deeper in their own territory than mid field. I'm sure west was kicking it on the ground to keep it away from #1 and #18, but mo...

I am glad Portsmouth kept kicking onsides kicks all night giving us great field position from the kickoff all the way through the game about.Who does that? smartest play in high school football!!!! only a net loss of 10-15 yds since the average return gets u to the 35 !! and you risk no TD return A...

The Portsmouth coaches remind me of myself in 1996 when I was 11 years old playing playstation. It's ok to do playing playstation when you're a kid, but the way they just blew this game was ridiculous, there is no reset button when your stupid decision makes you lose. UNBELIEVABLE!!!! Great job by W...

Not showing up at the complex until 6:20 definitely played a factor, I don't remember seeing West do any team offense pregame, and only a few defensive plays, there were no restrooms on the visitor side so it took players what seamed like another ten minutes just to use the bathroom. It also looked ...

I hope West gets healthy this week in practice and opens the eyes of the SOC after Friday.
