Lamar 10 Trinity 0

Lamar has been working the clock really good. So far, not outmatched by the speed and size that everybody talked so much about. Trinity has had flashes of greatness but can't put it all together into one drive. Hard hitting though. Been lots of d1 lineman on their backs 5 yards down field. 2nd half will be interesting. Still nervous about the trinity big play.
I like Lamar's chances; they have platoons of lineman while four of Trinity's five giants go both ways...
...Lamar starts the second half with the ball

Lamar having trouble covering Trinity's athletic receivers; living and dying by the pass rush right now (mostly living
)
Trinity big boys are on the turf every play. Lamar has done great containing so far, but still waaaaaay too close for comfort as you can tell these athletes can break one at any time.
I wouldn't say there is no scheme... but a definite lack of execution. Lamar is absolutely outmatched athletically and that's not even an arguement, but they have done a good job keeping it in check. Lamar is lucky that officials refuse to call them on their false starts, which are nearly every play.
Lamar has good athletes that are really good players. Trinity has Great athletes that are good players. Would you not agree that Trinity, as a team, is not more athletic?
It's an observation. Prior to that last post I hadn't heard a word about Lamar's athletes. If you're inferring race, maybe it's because I have a point.
Lamar is disciplined and well coached, not very athletic but very disciplined. Trinity is very athletic with very little discipline. Trinity has multiple people in same gaps defensively from what I see. Lamar kids know their reads and assignments and Trinity kids are playing off peer talent.
There some truth to it.... look at the demographics of school. It does not match the football team.
Two 50+ Yard TD plays later and and it's 12-10 Trinity!
^^^^^This is how I define an athletic advantage!

Lamar is not "very athletic."
Really
Sure, because so many Missouri football programs win 5 and possibily 6 state championships IN A ROW with non-athletic teams.
Gimme a break
Don't STAMP that.

You're actually proving the opposite point. Do you really believe Lamar has had superior athletes for 6 straight years? No? Then maybe it has something to do with scheme, depth, program, etc..

No, but let's not act like Trinity is playing a bunch of plodding farm kids with no speed or agility.
You don't need athletic kids to win state. I'd rather have kids that know their assignments with technique and have football iq that is coachable then athletic kids doing their own thing out there.
Someone doesn't understand a spin offense. Keep watching..you'll get it eventually.
Eh...
Whichever QB wasn't getting the ball in the shotgun appeared to be leaving early on almost every play (I cringed every time); surprised they weren't called on it.
What really hurt Lamar tonight was bad snaps! (am I correct in that one of the players kicked off the team was the starting center?)
as a team, by far Lamar is way more athletic. Lamars lineman ran circles around trinity's lines. Trinitys lines showed no athleticism at all. Trinity's best skill players may have had an edge on lamars best skill players but it didn't show up except on a couple missed tackles on receivers. Lamar broke more big plays than trinity and trinity's depth couldn't match lamars depth athletically either. If you went position by position through both teams and put a checkmark by who is the strongest, fastest, and agile, Lamar would have considerably more checkmarks.
Another example of how games are won and lost in the trenches. When it came to line play Lamar was far undersized, yet Trinity was far overpowered
Strongest, yes.
Fastest, no.
Agile, heck no.
I understand backing your team, and they are a very good team, with very good players, but they certainly are not better athletes.
There's a reason why colleges are recruiting Trinity's sophomores and not recruiting Lamar players that have won 4 championships in their high school careers.
it's not a knock on Lamar's players, you guys seem to be taking this very personal.
Because it's simply not true. I get the feeling that a lot of people who wanted Lamar to lose are now finding reasons to put them down because they can't say congratulations. The only reason any lineman from Trinity is being recruited over any lamar lineman, is because of their size and location and everyone knows it, does that make Trinity more athletic, no. i've been saying all along that Trinity had a couple of guys who were better athletes than Lamars best athletes. but as far as Trinity being more athletic as a team, it's just not true. Everybody knows colleges look more at metro areas because there's so much more coverage and press and they do produce more recruits so it's a better investment of time to look in those areas. But to say there's not that same talent elsewhere is just ignorant. It's just not all concentrated into a 50 mi.² location.
