Sciotoville Community Tartans @ Northwest Mohawks-Week One

[Kenraken Ahta]

30 days till kick off! Man the field is in great shape too!

[Kenraken Ahta]

Four weeks from tonight Mohawks!

[CANNIBAL]

Kenraken Ahta your boys better show me something in week one, because on a previous post you said nw would win by two or three td's and as i've looked at the past seven seasons when nw is playing east they've only one once.


nw will be 1-9 or 0-10 at the end of the season.

Well I looked, but I could not find the post where I said NW would win by 2 or 3 touchdowns. I do know this much, tomorrow begins the final approach to the season's opening week. If the Mohawks have worked hard in the weight room in the winter months and the coaching staff has been planning and mapping out this season, then Northwest will have some success in becoming a respectable football program. Having said that, here's you a final score:

Mohawks - 28

Tartans - 18

I look for the Mohawks to definately be better than they have been in the past. I think the game we played against Waverly in week 10 last yr should've gotten the kids pumped for this season. I look for a 10 pt Mohawk win over the Tartans.

"IF" the Mohawks have worked hard in the weight room?

I can tell you with certainty that "IF" they havent, its behind the woodshed they go in week 1.

Would love to see the Mohawks get back on track, but this year wont be the year. Next year I think they will content with 5-6 teams on their schedule.

I think that East is just going to be too strong for Northwest to handle this year. You can guarentee that East has worked extrememly hard in the weightroom this year. Northwest will have a hard time trying to get past this defense. whoever they have at NT will probably be quicker than a hiccup. Grey and Stringer return to the line. The Garrets(sp) are possess great speat, agillity, and hops. If Northwest starts to break one, more than likeyly it will be stopped in a hurry by Zach Rawlins. More than likeyly Blair will probably be on the line as he was at the tail end of last year.

Normally, I wouldn't touch this post but I think it is important for the Northwest boys not to buy what many people are saying on here. Here are the facts. If Rawlins is in the backfield along with the Garretts then East has three good backs. Northwest has Taylor Horsely, Luke Brown, and Kreig Crabtree which are also three good backs. Taylor was out all last season due to an injury before we got in pads. He was all conference as a sophomore. Luke Brown at times showed signs of stardom as a freshman but is bigger, stronger and more mature as a sophomore. Kreig Crabtree is ready to standout in his senior season. If either team has an advantage here, it is very slim. The difference could be who plays quarterback for each team. We have Juniors TJ Knittle and Jimmy Pack battling for the position. Is East going to use one of the Garretts and move Blair to fullback? If so, then that's a big loss on the line Speaking of the line the names Derrick Gray, David Blair and Dominique Stringer were mentioned for East. These are great kids but Derrick Ellis, Tyson Brown and Kyle Moore are pretty darn good too! The weight room has also been mentioned. Tyson worked out with 335 and Derrick about 250 yesterday on the bench. I said work out! Moore has a great work ethic and will battle until the end. Brown and Ellis are as strong as any two players that I ever had at East. East has the advantage of knowing how to win. Scot Thompson, Kirk Thompson, Dan McDavid, Jason Ellis, Doug Montavon and myself know a little about winning so hopefully we can share this with our team. I have compared the players mentioned in posts and quite frankly I feel confident that we match up. I feel the real key to this game is the other five or six players that will fill the lineups. East has Campo, Adkins and Randoph that I can think of. We have Frantz, Kenny Crabtree, Seamon, Osborn and several others that are in contention for starting positions. This Northwest team is in excellent condition and conditioning will not be a factor in this years game. I am not going to get on here and predict the outcome but I will say that this will be a game well worth watching. You have an East team that wants to continue their SOC I dominance and another trip to the playoffs and a Northwest team that desperately wants to shake it's losing ways and prove they're a team on the rise. We open up the season again this year on a Thursday so start your football weekend early and checkout the Mohawks and Tartans at Roy Rogers Field.

Nice post coach! Thanks!

I think a couple names you will hear alot from East this year will be the Bradfords. I think realistically you have one of ther Garretts at QB, one in the backfield along with a Bradford, Rawlins or even Campo. The line should be Gray, Blair, Stringer and whoever else. That gives East soild foundation for the line and basically 3-4 backs including the QB who can run with the ball well.
I think East will have the edge on the defensive side of the ball though because I think they weill be overall quicker and like coach Davis said that group knows how to win. This game will definatly be a battle.

is that the dan mcdavid that used to coach green?

[Kenraken Ahta]

Yes.

[california kid]

Yes.

wow looks like a great coaching staff coach mcdavid led the cats to two soc championships and i believe one 10-0 season and two playoff appearences

[sider]

East looks strong and motivated, they know how to win, have a good system and a good coach in Stacey Bond...Even though Brown, Horsley, and Crabtree are good I don't know if they can keep up with the Garrett's. Tyson Brown is a very very good football player and Derrick Ellis is pretty good in his own right as well (I never heard of the Moore kid), but it takes 5 guys playing as a unit to have good line, I think East can and will do this. last year Northwest had a Tyson Brown, Ellis , and Paul Carver (who was the best lineman on the team) and they couldn't get it done? So unless they come out in a scrimmage and show things have changed (which it could Northwest one of the best staffs in the county), I will have to go with East 34-14

"Change" is the key to this entire program's success. I believe the right coaching staff is in place now and that "change" is in place. What remains to be seen is how far along "change" has come in the past year. The Waverly game in week 10 of last year's season was a sign that things had changed. Even in that loss, you had to look at this team and say "Wow"!

Now they face a very good Tartan Football team in week one. The key to a Northwest victory will be the adjustments they make early. Unlike 30 years ago, you went to the locker room at half time and made adjustments, you have to make adjustments on "the go" these days to compete with a great team.

I love this match up! "David and Goliath"! A Tartan Football team looking for another perfect season and a trip to the play-offs and a Mohawk Football team looking for some respect. Not just respect, but a game that people can look back on at the end of this season and say, "That's when this program turned the corner!"

From the sound of things this might be the biggest game for Northwest in a long time. Im sure that place will be packed on a Thursday night and should be a great game. East 28-16.

[biggdowgg]

I thought the Rawlins kid went to Jackson?

[battlecats]

I guess he stayed from what im hearing.

[biggdowgg]

thats good for East then, he is a great athelete.

[OZZIEOHIO]

He is still at East.
