All last week I was geared up to watch my youngest son Alex play cross-town rival Papillion on Friday night and then make the drive to Platte City, MO to watch the oldest quarterback his team to a victory against Avila College. I certainly got to watch them both play but wasn't happy with the outcomes of either.
The Titans got blown out 38-7. How did Alex play? He made a few plays here and there @ MLB and made a few good blocks at FB but was tired and standing straight up and down most of the time and played slow. We then found out after the game that he has had an injury to a nerve in his foot for 2 weeks now. PLVS stunk up the place in my book. They don't have a viable QB nor do they have a RB. The 2 big fellas at DE didn't do jack and when they were both put at FB and RB respectively, they did jack. I certainly don't think their coach is very good after watching him for nearly 6 years. Whatever...my oldest may end up working for him someday. I kinda hope not. I hope he takes the other job offered over the summer...at least THAT school puts a WINNER on the field! Speaking of my oldest...
Anthony's game was a defensive struggle that ended in a 9-6 loss. Doane was picked to win by a couple of td's by football pundits, largely based on his arm. The drove the ball down the field most every drive but just couldn't finish and score. Anthony had 3 int's and a fumble all by himself. One of those his coach took responsibility for. The fumble the defender put his hat right on the ball. Better on the ball than in the small of his back. The receivers aren't aggressive at all. There were balls that should've been caught. He DID have 31 yards rushing in the game though! That is definitely a PB for him lol. It was nice to see him tuck and run when he needed to. The 1st half he played fairly well moving them with ease down the field, but they just couldn't finish what they started. Let's hope that against Hastings they can do better. I think Hastings is ranked at # 23 or something. I think they proved they could run a bit...but will that translate into a passing game? Avila employed a cover 3 defense which means they have 3 guys deep playing the pass and 1 guy left underneath to blitz. They did blitz quite a bit...good luck next week son's o' mine.
I love you both and wish you the best this coming week!
On top of that...I got upset with my new bride for no good reason. I'm sorry Colleen. I feel HORRIBLE that I got on you in Platte City. I suck as a husband. Thank the Good Lord that you love me like you do because I certainly didn't treat you like I should've this past w/e. Love you baby!
