[Hound05]

Corbin won’t beat beechwood because of lack of conditioning. I kept waiting for beechwood to fall off in the fourth quarter of last years game. It didn’t happen. I think the difference in this years game is that Corbin will make them defend the whole field. Corbin has the speed this season the take what they’re given and make you pay for it. They can stretch the field vertically, they can take a quick screen to the house with one missed tackle, and if you take to many out of the box they can gash you running the ball. I’m more interested to see the matchup between Corbin’s defense and beechwoods offense. I think they’re pretty good at making you defend the whole field as well. I don’t think beechwood will commit many penalties, it’ll be on Corbin to keep the penalties down. Last season there was a huge disparity in penalties, but I don’t remember any that I disagreed with. Beechwood was just more disciplined than the hounds last season.
I still think the hounds are extremely motivated for this one, and will bring their best game.

No we won’t win because of conditioning but it will certainly play to our advantage. You can be in the best shape of your life and playing both ways 4 qtrs while the other is playing half that will show. Especially given that our offense plays the whole field. If you got a kid playing DB against us, he’s gonna run, and if he turns around the next series and is a WR he’s not gonna have a full tank.

I’m also intrigued by their offense vs our Defense. So far we’ve passed the test. We shall see
