What do you think?

I think Southern is going to get their azzs handed to them.

[Fan-o-Southern]

Anything's possible, but not always probable. Trouble by 3-4 TD's.

Wont be much to hear. Trimble will score 50 or 60 points early, then "work on things for the playoffs."

cougar fan were you at the trimble game last night?
Trimble was up 54-0 at half. The jv offense started the 3rd quarter. The tomcats had 2nd team offense in and ran the ball every play of the second half. Wasnt sure what u meant by your comment.

[The Enforcer]

The only question is will Southern score and break Trimbles streak of shutouts

[the Kool-Aid Man]

Let's hope they don't

Trimble needs to play a close game this week or next week, or they will not be ready for the playoffs. Region 23 looks really good this year and they need to know how they want to play when it is close or when it comes to NEEDING a play or stop, who will they look for. They have good players, but who will be the one to make the tackle, make the difficult catch for a first down over the middle, or running with 3-4 defenders on them. They may think they know, but they need to know for sure.

I think Fed will give them a game

You are right indianabuck. The quarterback running show that Trimble has been using is not gonna cut it in week 10 or in the playoffs. Cats really need a passing threat. Trouble is I think it might be to late to obtain respect for that aspect of the game. Sure they have had limited success in passing the ball. However accuracy and finding the open receiver has been very poor at times.

Agree 100% ,Trimble needs more balance in their offense, or the teams will just crowd the box

Conner Standley last week: 7-10-0-120 yds ... 4 touchdowns.

Seems to me coach Fairs is starting to open it up a little ... I'm 100% sure he knows his team and players better than anyone - and I wouldn't be surprised to see that type of balance (vs Belpre) be the norm the rest of the season.

[n4sir]

93bulldog keep watching the stats. Sure he balanced it out against Belpre. They were starting 6 or 7 freshman and Phil figured out early they were no match. So instead of running it every down he opened up the passing. It is no secret that Trimble has a decent running attack. But if they play a team that shuts down the run or keys on the quarterback they could be in a lot of trouble. I have been to or watched every game this year and to say the passing game is not hurting would be a under statement.

[93Bulldog]

Luckily I have Nelsonville T.V. cable and get to see all the games (even if I can only stand to watch the first half of some of them ... lol) ... but in all the games since Wahama, there has been no need to pass ... when you outscore your opponents 230-0, it doesn't leave much room for improvement ... I was surprised to see them throw 4 TD's versus Belpre ... 10 pass attempts is more than what Nelsonville-York is doing - or a team like Oak Hill, which barely ever throws the ball.

[Orange and Brown]

Trimble by a bunch!

Trimble does have 975 passing yards as a team and is at 57% completion percentage. Thats a 122 yards a game. Not bad for a high school team in 8 games. Also they are rushing for 240 yards a game. 362 yards a game and averaging 42 points per game. since the defense is averaging giving up 128 a game and 5.63 points a game something must be working in Tomcat Land. Compare the Tomcats stats to the TVC Ohio and they fit in second in total offense and points scored, and first in total defense and first in points scored against.
Not to mention the starters havent played vs S.G., Miller, or Belpre at all in the second half it is hard to work on much passing when you have only really played 6 1/2 games on offense.
What that all mean? Trimble is not perfect but they are working each week to get better as is all teams this time of year. Im sure coach faires has a few tricks up his sleeve for the remainder of the year. Cats will be ready for weeks 9 and 10 and beyond.
Go Cats
