CrankyOldMan Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Finally two best teams in the district get to play after 6 weeks of playing no one of any substance. Who you got? I’ll say LJ 49-21 over the Melissa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrahmasDawg Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Game moved to Friday night so that WFAA - Channel 8 can broadcast the game. The last time this happened Melissa shocked Argyle and beat them 21 - 0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigorange Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 If Melissa’s defense can step up they have a shot. They have to do a better job of covering the deep pass and honestly Nigel Smith has to turn it up full throttle on the dline this week and cause havoc. I believe both offenses are gonna score numerous times but it depends on the defenses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJ’s receivers (all power 5, D-1 recruits) have an enormous advantage over the Melissa secondary. Melissa is trying another kid, #7, at safety to give them a little size. If #2 from Melissa can get home on a consistent basis it will help tremendously but I suspect they double him most of the night if he is getting pressure.

CrankyOldMan Posted November 4, 2022 Author Share Posted November 4, 2022 Melissa was definitely the better team. Very sloppy game by both teams and the refs. Melissa D was pretty strong with a unconventional 3 safety/umbrella look which LJ never solved. LJ has a QB issue that was exposed. Melissa offense was good enough even after all the turnovers. LJ just let #9 of Melissa run free all night and never changed their D on him it appeared and it cost them. #9 for Melissa was best player on the field and it wasn’t even close. Without him they lose by 2 TD’s. Kid is a beast. LJ was out-coached and outplayed and the right team won. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
