WK 8: Marietta (5-2) @ Fort Frye (5-2)

[EasternDspy]

Marietta is bigger


Fort Frye has the speed


Fort still has some guys out.

I have feeling this game comes down to last few mins.

Fort 20 Marietta 14

Marietta has guys out too. Why just point out one team? This games was competitive -- no "heads and shoulders above" going on here.

Because I didn’t know if they had guys out or not. I was mainly talking about how Fort was playing without both guards and I was hoping to get them back.

This is going to be one of those “was there and saw it with my own two eyes post” and also just an old man and has been thoughts. Marietta was lucky to lose this game by a touchdown. I hate to blame the refs and won’t because there was a fair mistake of legit penalties for the Cadets, but a few calls against them that lead to a TD were terrible calls, and now I will say that the lack of discipline with personal fouls for Marietta did help the cadets also.
The Cadets are a very very good team. They play about 14 kids in total and they make it a very long night for teams. You could definitely sense the Tigers frustration.
I was impressed with the Tigers. They are a much better team than in years past and I think they should be very proud. They are well coached just lack a little discipline. I think after Fort Frye got hammered by the Shamrocks fans thought they were down this year, but they are a very typical Fort Frye team, I would think maybe even a little better than in recent years. Just an old timers take on the best game around.

Fort was hammered by some penalties as well. The hold right before the end of the half that would have made it 21 was a huge momentum shift. Then Marietta scored after a penalty and long catch by Britton and run by Chavez. Marietta did make a nice come back though down 28-7 in fourth you got to give it to them. Still don’t think that was a personal foul on Snodgrass that was perfect shoulder to shoulder hit.

Marietta just cannot seem to get over the hump of 500 despite playing a schedule that is loaded with much smaller schools. It's frustrating and they should be a consistent 8-2 team every year. Maybe they win 1 of the remaining games but based on history, I doubt it. Seems like they are satisfied being a below average division 3 program and that's too bad.

No basis in fact for your post. They are "satisfied for being below average"... This is America, you can write what you want. But its weak.

Oh really ? A city with a population of 13 K that cannot beat much smaller schools is not a fact ? Marietta has been in a football funk since the late 70's early 80's but at least back then they played much better competition and were competitive. How have Fort Frye and Williamstown had so much success and Marietta who plays a weak a schedule as you can get in D3 struggle with being over 500 ? I thought maybe with Dover and New Philly off the schedule the record would be better. Now it's at the point where the faithful are celebrating narrow wins against the likes of Morgan, John Marshall , Claymont and Whitehall with a combined 3 wins between them. Perhaps they can drop Williamstown and Fort from the schedule and add Belpre and Cambridge. Then and MAYBE then they can win 6 games. I'm sorry but Marietta should be better that that but by large the administration and others do not really care. They have let the program down and that started many years ago and continue to do so.

So, what is your solution to fix it? When you say the administration doesn’t care, what should they do to make the team better?

I'll admit more support could be provided to the football program, but the coaches and players are not the ones "satisfied with being below average".
That was my point. And who says they cannot win 6 games? Posts with streams of arrogance and ridicule just aren't very becoming.
