Waverly 47 Valley 0

[toast]

One of my favorite places to watch a high school football game…absolutely beautiful!

Valley is making progress and continues to play hard. They have a nice mix of youth and veteran players. Waverly better not get caught looking ahead. For the first time this season we might just get some cooler weather for Friday night football.

[Rolltanks]

To make this easy I'll post one more time on the waverly Tigers. Every thread about there games along with burg will be the same this year. Total domination until they play each other. Every week the same. I'll take burg over waverly this year. Waverly goes 9-1 makes playoffs in the hardest region in d4 imo. Good luck in the post season.

[Bleeding Red]

Waverly in a route.

This seems to be the most talented, athletic team Waverly has put on the field in years. Exact opposite for Valley.

[Abe Froman]

Waverly adds one more to their perfect season, before adding one loss to their season in Week 7.

Finishes 9-1 and then hope you do not draw Clinton Massie in Week 11.

Word of caution Tiger fans. Minford and the Siders might have a say if Waverly is to finish 9-1 or better. Take it one game at a time and stay classy.

I don't think anybody from Waverly is overlooking anyone, not Valley, not West, not Minford and not River valley.

[old benchwarmer]

At least they haven't been talking about playing a team not even on their schedule. No, I don't think they are looking ahead....as some teams are. On a another note, I think I will be able to attend the game this Friday.

I agree. We're not in a position to overlook anyone. I don't even want to think about the trip to Minford. And we know West will be a battle. I'm also hearing Valley is getting better every game and has changed up some personnel. One game at a time!

Waverly 60
Valley 7

[BullTank]

Waverly 63
Valley 6 (jv's finally get scored on)

[smurray]

Those aren't Waverly folks posting those scores. Waverly hasn't scored 60 yet so I don't look for it to happen AT Valley.

[The Flush]

It is really hard to score 60 even on a bad team. You would have to be almost perfect on every possession because with the running clock there just isn't much time left. Most teams put the subs in with a running clock. Even against the other team's subs, the subs just aren't polished enough to be perfect in that shortened quarter.

Valley knew this year was coming. They are depleted of talent from that class last year. They should have gave their underclassmen plenty of experience last year to have them ready for this year. They will be lucky to win one game this year. Waverly big in this one

[AllAboutTheU]

Has Valley really ever had to rebuild? I know they struggled after their 2005 playoff run but that struggle didn't last long (maybe 2 or 3 years). Valley has always been successful since Crabtree took over, this is just a down year and valley has been fortunate enough in years past to reload. This is new to the valley faithful but I can see Valley being back in the swing of things within a couple of years.

[Jason Vorhees]

Waverly will keep it classy, as Valley has done in the past. I would say this game's final is 42-7 or 49-14. By the way, Waverly has not defeated Valley since 2007. Waverly defeated them 37-7 and that Waverly team was loaded while Valley was on the rebound (only went 4-6 in 2007).

Crabtree has always had been backed with outstanding Offensive Coordinators that is no longer there. Which someone is going to have to step up and play that role ...

[coop]

It wouldn't matter who is running that offense this year.

[Izladoom]

I have been impressed with shope running the offense but without 22 they have no serious threat

[Mad-Dogg]

Another long night IMO for the Indians. Waverly by at least 35

[Voice of Reason]

Waverly has a very good team and will win this game by 4-5 TDs. Some of Valley's younger players are getting better but #22 being hurt is a huge blow to the struggling Valley offense.

One thing that blows my mind about message board guy is how they suddenly become smarter and more aware of personnel than a coach that has won more SOC and playoff games than anyone in the history of the league.

Thinking that playing any of these players more last year would be of benefit is clueless. Getting onto the field is earned and the under class men that did play were out there for a reason. The junior and senior classes have also played more JV games than probably anyone in program history. They have played... It wouldn't change their Friday night performance. The biggest difference in the Valley improvement is the experience of the sophomores. They were not ready to be on a varsity field last year, especially when you are competing for SOC titles and playoff victories.

And it wouldn't matter if Tom Herman were calling the plays, when you don't have the guys to block and skill guys to make plays. It is getting better, but this is a growing year for the sophomores and hopefully freshman.
