Wk 9: Waverly (5-3) (3-2) vs. Northwest (4-4) (1-3)

[SiderBlood]

Good win Mohawks. When is the last win against one of the orange and black W teams?

[CuckooNest]

Said it before and will say again. This is the best overall Northwest team I’ve ever seen. Good for them.

[VetteMan]

WOW! One of the biggest surprises of the night for me. I guess that's why they play the game. Congrats to the Mohawks.

I agree Waverly's defense has trouble stopping the run.
On the offensive side however, even in the of years with Shoemaker or Hurd Waverly has never been a running team. It's not the offense identity at Waverly and the Tigers had 118 yardss rushing vs Burg.

Get what you’re trying to say but when you talk about a Shoemaker Waverly had one of their most complete teams so they could do whatever. You mention Hurd and saying they’ve never been that running team, I’m sorry but when you have a young man come through and break the career rushing record I have to strongly disagree. You might want one thing, aka a passing team, but the reality is they were a rushing team last season especially. Hurd had multiple games where he was up over 25-30 carries so I just have to disagree in terms of these last couple years. This year they’re a passing team, they don’t have the OL or RB to give them the ability to run the ball so you do what you have to do and lean on a 3yr starter at QB and those WRs. Next year this teams identity will be…..no one knows they lose so much talent on the outside.

I think they’ll be closer to more of a balanced attack next year, still favoring the passing game a little more than the running game. You’ll have a good QB who can pass and run. And honestly, their weapons on the outside will be solid considering what they are losing after this year. And I believe the O-line will be a little better next year than it has been this year, although they didn’t play bad last week. Big ? I think for next season on offense will be at RB

lol, I don’t believe this for a second you’ve got to be a parent. New QB unless they go a different direction isn’t a runner at all and struggled passing in mop up duty and JV last season. Now if the roll with Alexander at QB then he can run but we’ll see if he can pass. On the outside you’ll return 1 main playmaker so no again. Part that is true is that young line should improve but still no RB threat. Facts are facts sorry if you’re a parent but it’s a harsh reality Waverly will be a 4-5 win team at best, possibly 3-4.

[greygoose]

My oh my, now Northwest isn’t a bad team and their strength is Waverlys major weakness. You’d think a better game plan would’ve been in place defensively. It’s not rock bottom but Waverly is trending that way. Next up a very tough Mt Healthy team.

Waverly coaching is not the best. But they can not make the tackles for the kids. The coaches wives and how they yell curse words in crowds with kids needs addressed by the waverly board of education. If they ever showed up to support the kids.

Kids is slowest runner I've ever seen and panics under pressure. I agree with Grey goose he will not be qb next year. It will be Alexander kid. waverly will go 2-8 at best.
I agree must be a parent. Funny how 2 years ago they where on here bashing Hunington all the time. The Alexander boy will 100% be qb next year he is quick and cant throw any worse than the back up this year. Alexander boy is good athlete and should be the guy for sure. The back up sure isnt the answer for next year. Will be new coaching id say. Crabtree will step down.
Just my guess and will be new staff

[danicalifornia]

Good win Mohawks. When is the last win against one of the orange and black W teams?

They had one win against the combination of Burg, Waverly and West since 2002, which came in 2010 when they beat Waverly

Heck of a win for Northwest

[oldschoolqb13]

Awful loss. Dark times in Tiger Land.

Heard it was only the 4th win in NW history over Waverly. I think at this point it’s safe to say the “ship” term tigers want to use is going down. Will the school board allow this staff to go down with the ship or will they make a move to turn things around?? Someone be sure to get ahold of them and let them know how Friday night went, lol. Make sure the talk to coach J.K about his behavior again and ask him to be better for the 90th time and maybe they can stop asking why kids aren’t playing and or leaving.

[Jason Vorhees]

After last night’s win, Northwest vs. the 3 W’s (Waverly, West, and Wheelersburg) is 15-139 all time vs. all 3 schools.

[GoIrish]

Great dub Mohawks! Congratulations!

(And I think the writing is on the wall for Waverly. What they are allowing now is not long term sustainable).

A new trend was established the last few years that Waverly doesn’t see too often, and that’s an exodus out of Tigertown for other schools. It’s not going to stop if some big things don’t change.

The sky is falling!!! Definitely not a parent, I think you are the one who seems to have a player involved as mush as you are ranting and raving. And I’d all but bet on the backup being the QB next year, he’d have two nice weapons in Nelson and Alexander on the outside. The backup won’t be any worse than the current QB was last year, not knocking on him but it took until his senior year to get truly comfortable, thankfully had Hurd go take some of the pressure off.

I think the blame can go around to a little bit of everyone, coaches and players. Coaches need to figure out how to address some of the major issues this team has and the players need to just make the plays. There were many times last night the players were there they just didn’t finish. Tough loss and makes everyone look in the mirror. But the sun still came up today, all is not lost.

Whatever that means, I see board members at every game.

Not disagreeing that some have left more than in the past. But not all for the reasons you are getting at, and could say they have gotten almost as many as they have last back in transfers in the past couple of years. Not saying you want any kids leaving, especially ones who contribute, but a kid or two that did leave left for unrelated football reasons

[Watchinghoops]

My thoughts on it, I think Crabtree will step down after this season as it will for sure be a down year next year for the tigers, but the good thing is the junior class has extremely low numbers on the team maybe 3 kids or so, next year they will be able to get things figured out either way with Alexander or myers at quarterback they’ll return sawyer myers at TE, and still have Hez Nelson who I think will be a stud in years to come he’ll have to really be who the tigers target next year no matter what. I think you’ll see a lot of change in the next year but they still have some very very solid underclassmen to look forward to. I also don’t think we need to be bashing kids on here and debating whether we think they’re good enough or not that’s for the coaches to decide.

Congrats to Mohawks on the win last night! They’ve put together a solid season and given themselves a shot at D5 playoffs going into Week 10. Their offensive line has some players on it and Runyon one of the most underrated players in the whole area.

As for Waverly, feel they gonna end up right around where most had them slotted before the season started. The season-opening win over MT probably made the expectations go higher than they should have. Waverly just never had the ground game to go along with the passing game.

With the players they lose to graduation, and not much help coming up from junior high level, I expect them to have a similar season next year. Being the biggest school in SOC II, hope they can get their numbers back up to 50+ players.*
