Vandalman Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Does mineola run or pass more? More of a ground game with us with a couple of passes here and there. They're not real big but are pretty salty and not afraid to hit. Maybe it's just my view but it seems like they play really hard the 1st half or so but just don't play all four quarters with the same intensity. They could be a real contender if they got that worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they have any speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandalman Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Some speed but probably not enough compared to Athens D. Athens will probably control the ball and clock. Hornet offense is like a flashback to the 70's with ground game including a fullback! One of the best oiled running machines I've seen in 3a ball in a long time. Everyone else seems to be running a spread O these days. Athens just keeps pounding it at you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(That's if they do). Yeup you're right. I'm sure this kid will get better every game come Junior and senior year man oh man. Dude will be a monster. What I've seen affect Athens is a good scramble QB example Canton & Mabank. I know CH QB Andrew Black has the speed to cause problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have some scouts looking at him for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In size and speed he reminds me of Trent Richardson from the Colts and Alabama. No word yet of any scouting. But I'm sure they're around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm sure they're around. I said Walt Garrison when I first saw him run. Either way, definitely a power back that can make his own gaps. Wish we would see more fullbacks and tight ends. Fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddio887 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Sorry buddy, Mineola isn't going to have enough speed to test y'all. Hopefully I am wrong but I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whodathoughtit Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Van had 2 RB's with over 100 yards rushing and a 3rd with close to 100 on Mineola. Athens will do the same and win big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlazeSilverstar Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I will be honest, Athens needs to win this game in dominate fashion to prepare themselves for the playoffs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
