Coal Grove vs Ready

[ohio football]

Went and saw Ready play. They are good. have a good QB and fast backs. Their defense was decent. Hornets better bring their A game. Any thoughts on this game this week?

Their defense was "decent"??? They beat Fredericktown 49-14. They play good competition and have given up under 11 pts a game so far.

I know playing Ready is better than playing only 8 games, but this one wont be close......at all!

Long ride up, really long ride back for the Grove.

The Hornets are really banged up with injuries but I am sure they won't back down. I applaud them for playing good teams from Columbus. You need to play teams like Ready, Burg and Valley and learn how to beat them if you want to be a playoff program. Go Hornets!

I look for the Grove to bounce back this week, maybe even upset Bishop Ready. last years' Hornets were leading until very late in the 4th qtr against this team. also, the only hope the Grove has to make the playoffs, is to win the rest of their games, and get A LOT of help. so the Hornets bettter be bringing their best game to Columbus.

The only comment I can think of for this week is this, the Grove has had two weeks to prepare for Ready. If given two weeks to prepare for a team back in the day I would almost book the Grove a win, but this team has to show that they want it. I know there are boys on this team that go out and give 110% every play, and for that I applaud them, my worry is the players who back it down to 70, 80 percent after getting down by a few scores. I don't mean to rail on this team but I am tired of the look that alot of these players have which is "I am out here, but I don't really know if I want to be out here".

Anyway, best case scenerio for this week

Coal Grove 24
Bishop Ready 21

With a weeks rest and recouperation under there belts Coal Grove may be at there best this week but its going to take a great effort to hang with Ready.

GO GROVE !!

Ready has a very good QB with excellent touch on his passes.
They have a really solid running back that is quick.
They have a pair of talented rec with the shorter of the two being very good.

The defense will bring it and they are coached really well.

I watched them beat NC pretty easily when all was said and done.

I have seen both play this year. Bishop Ready wins. Does the Grove have the running back they lost to injury back or is he out for the season?

If I did my math right this could be the Grove's place in the points with a win and a few other things happening. So, for those players that look at this sight I will put a challenge out to them. How bad do you want it?

Good luck Hornets, go up and represent Southern Ohio football well!

[dreamweaver]

Good Luck Hornets.

[coachdad20]

If the Hornets come out ready to play and play disciplined smash mouth hornet football for the full four quarters then they will come home with a big win. "HEART AND GUTS"
GOOD LUCK HORNETS! !!!!!!

[Neutron Man]

I'd LOVE it if the Hornets pulled out a win. Great secondary points and great representation from southern Ohio. However!!!! Not gonna happen. I hate to say, but I think Ready wins by whatever they want.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!

The score itself is not as shocking as they manner in which it just exploded on the scene. I was worried that the Hornets were facing a drubbing due to how talented Ready is this year, but with the Grove striking first and staying even after one, I was beginning to think I was pleasantly WRONG about my pre-game prediction. But, apparently the wheels just came off in the 2nd quarter What the heck happened?
