Homecoming Starts With Powder Puff

2-0

It's Homecoming Week!  Ugly sweater day.  Pep Rally.  The Parade.  Chili dump.  And, of course, Powder Puff Football.  Last year, the Juniors beat the Seniors for the first time in memory, perhaps ever.  This team was eyeing a 2-0 career and they did not disappoint.  After two thrilling halves of football, the Seniors walked (sashayed?) away with a 30-18 victory over a very talented Junior class.  Enjoy the start of Homecoming Week below the jump.

Bear With Me

Austin had another night of fighting double and triple teams.  I was hoping the Ships would play a 4-3 Cover 2 this game due to the Redwings' passing and option attack but instead I saw a lot of modified 3-4.  Maybe not today.  Maybe not tomorrow.  But, someday, soon, Austin will be put in five technique and told to cause havoc in the backfield.  I just hope I'm there when it happens.

Get by two blockers?  Not enough when they have the tailback ready to chip.

This was Austin's best play of the night (that I caught on camera).  Deep penetration into the backfield, blowing up the option and combining with the Hammer and Tyler (who also made good plays here) on a big tackle for loss.

I just don't think it's fair to Austin that he has to get by four blockers to record a sack.  Call me old fashioned.

Classic Austin, though.  Plays within the scheme, doesn't care about numbers, and smiles about the win afterwards.
