LE will give Carthage fits because they are actually more in shape and discipline than normal LE teams

This team can be just as good as the 2015 team that went 12-2.

Ok, home now so a little about the game.

 

Both teams played their hearts out, but LE defense wore down in 4th quarter. That's when Gilmer began to gash them with the running game.

 

Gilmer secondary got beat over the top a lot. Kept letting kids get behind them. cannot let that happen moving forward.

 

Both teams had 3 turnovers, so that's a wash.

 

LE has tons of talent, so we will see what the future holds for them.

 

As for Gilmer...

Webb and Bates should be their running backs. They both have breakaway speed, both are very shifty in the hole, and both have the vision to see the cutback lanes. I saw both turn 3 yard losses into 5 yard gains multiple times tonight.

 

Saying that, Gilmer should convince Ward to try to become a dominant defensive end. Or convert him to linebacker. He's a bull in a china shop, but I don't think he has the vision to see the hole. However, he could become a really good defensive player.

 

Poppy had two interceptions, but he looks like a more polished passer this year. More touch on the ball, especially on the intermediate and short passes. I also saw him actually make progressions and hit his 2nd or 3rd option several times tonight.

 

Really fun game to watch. First game of year, so both teams have time to fix things. But Gilmer will need to shore up secondary.

Yes, that was obvious from the 25 stoppages of play from "cramps". LE has a history of that all the way back to the LaMichael years. It's coached and it's trashy. They do it every dang time we play them.
