LWE 37 Porters 10 Final

Rain is helping LP stay in the game East fumble on LP 15 yard line hurt. East offense is moving the ball well. I feel East will pull away in the 2nd half.
Hopefully they are using Waze.
Agree
It sounded like they lost at the end of the game. Total team collapse. I wasn’t at the game but your right Bones can explain but it will make him relieve the nightmare that occurred. Hahaha
LWE o-line opened huge holes all night...well I left at end of 3Q. East looked out of sorts at the beginning. But got their stride. I will await Bones' explanation how LP beat BB.
IMO, a big (not the only) part of Lockport looking better against The Brook compared to East was the weather conditions. In the important Porter dropback passing game, one of either the QB or receivers on most throws were affected by the rain. East in the air seemed much less affected, however, but that may be due to it being less spot-based, the way things developed in the game.
That is HS Football. Once the colder weather & rain kicks in it really impacts team who like to run spread & throw the ball over the place. This time of year teams with a running game, solid o-line, strong arm QB and solid defense seem to fair pretty good going into playoffs at all levels.
I was at the game and felt the rain actually helped LP. East fumbled because the wet ball and dropped a couple passes that were off the hands again I a tribute that to the rain. East OL Line dominated the line of scrimmage. I am not sure how many rushing yards had but they had no problem moving the ball. If it was dry East would of scored even more. East D pretty much shut LP down. I left at Halftime because East was moving the ball so easy in the first half it was only a matter time before they pulled away.
Brook lost to Lockport because Lockport is the better team now. Yes, there was a complete collapse in the final 3 minutes which facilitated the loss, but anyone could see it coming. They play with a lack of urgency on offense despite it never being more clear that they NEED to score on every possession. On defense there's poor fundamentals and despite some adjustments in what type of defense ie 5-2 vs nickel there is no change in technique to assist the smaller DL to put pressure on opposing QBs. Then on top of that Williams went out with an injury late. Williams and Walters make all the tackles, so that's a problem.
Not understanding the moment. Didn't have the hands unit out there for KR up a single score with a little over a minute left. Or not having a hands unit to put out there at all. Not realizing Lockport was probably in playoff mode since losing to Sandburg, so there would be some risks taken. Weren't ready for the opening onside kick either.
There's a laundry list. But it boils down to other teams getting better and us getting progressively worse throughout the year.

I have seen 7 out of the 8 LWE games this year and not sure if they are as good as they seem. O-line is awesome and the receivers are tremendous blockers, which is impressive. Defense always good, but seems like a lack of speed. But LP did not look very good to me (said w/o being snarky). LP is generally a well coached team though.
I would agree with your assessment except their speed. The overall team speed seems to be good. I don’t think the QB or RB is getting enough credit. Receivers could be faster but seem to get open. This isn’t the best East team I have seen but they show great resolve to not get rattled when things are not going there way. East has tremendous determination and get stronger as the game progresses especially in the 2nd half. This I attribute to the senior leadership and experience that will make them difficult to beat. Make no mistake this team is good enough to win a state championship. I haven’t see any team this year that completely wows me. I don’t see a clear dominant favorite like in other years. It should be fun to watch come playoff time.
I watched the game. Brook has a great LB. #6 I think. He was absent for all or most of the game vs Lockport.
He went out late in the 4th quarter. I wish we had that excuse available.
