Does the GR have a shot at knocking off the big boys in sectionals?

[ndfan79]

I think Oakfield has a better shot againist Leroy or Cal Mum the battle will be whose line play will be better?::cool:

[sectionvfanforlife]

I think OA and Pembroke both have a great chance of knocking the big boys out. Im not saying it will be easy but Pembroke pretty much did it last year against Leroy according to the stats and Pembroke only lost a couple key guys so i think they have a good chance. Pembroke has to get past OA first.

[SectionVDude]

everyone on here seems to be looking past them this year-yes, they have played cuba-rushford and wellsville but they have 3 really fast backs that if they get to the outside see ya!! overlooking cm is a mistake....:(

[Berask]

The GR league compared to LeRoy and Cal Mum is basically the CFL compared to the NFL. NO chance.

I wouldnt say that pembroke nearly knocked leroy out last year and they have just about the same players so dont say they have no chance!!

I've seen LeRoy play a few times and same with Pembroke. This isn't LAST year. So i'll say they have NO chance if i would like to.

[Berask]

As i said the only way that the batavia could compete was to hopefully limit the running game. they did so and going into the half it was 21-14 athena and the batavia team was competing. if it wasnt for athena's great athletes at WR connecting with Sr QB Joe Sleeman the batavia team comes even closer than a 30-14 score. Rob Williams had a good game running the ball and carried this Batavia team that just refuses to give up on the season. I dont care what the record is, this team has more heart than i once believed. I give them props. and hopefully they can pull of the upset against a tough irondequoit team. they beat them two years ago. Why not?

[football#1]

this game was much closer than the score indicates.A couple of plays and the score very well could have been 30-14 the other way.Athena never pulled away until the last quarter.
Something more important happened on the field today.This team played with more heart and determination than I have ever seen a game play.Watching a team across the sidelines with at least 3 times the players,even their cheerleaders outnumbered Batavias players.Batavia never gave up.They were bruised and battered in one of the most physical games I have ever seen Batavia play but they got up every play and brought it.Athena players will be hurting just as much tomorrow.Everyone,including myself thought that Athena would run all over them but Batavia was determined not to let that happen.Even with seconds left in the game and Athena with a 4th and inches,Batavia brought everything they had and Athena struggled to get inches for a first down.I think tonight was the start of something special.The coaches,players,parents and fans finally came together.I think we are finally going to see what Batavia football really means.Whether it translates in wins this season remains to be seen but tonight hopefully I have seen the future of Batavia football and the wins are not far off.

As for the game,Athena scored on its first possession but Batavia promptly answered with a 95 yard kickoff return TD by JJ Cabrera.Thats the spark that Batavia needed to get the confidence to hang with Athena.Everytime they had a fumble or INT,their defense came right back and got one of their own.Athenas passing game proved a little much to handle.Batavia finally opened up the offense, and even though their were more INTs than receptions for Batavia,it kept the defense honest and Williams had some nice runs while the defense limited Athenas powerful running game to reasonable yardage.Williams and Cabrera,who took a vicious hit at the beginning of the game, played hurt for most of the game as did several other players but the team never gave up without a fight.

[SectionVDude]

give batavia credit where they are due , i personally think they're program is headed in the right direction and the kids are really giving it they're all after some tough losses but good things are to come for that program and remember it is one thing to lose but to lose with character, passion, played with heart respect and to know you gave it your all and left it on the field you morally cant be beaten:rolleyes: and that bolds true for batavia they are a good 0-4 team that with a few bad breaks could be a 2-2 or 3-1 football team.:cool:

[sectionvfanforlife]

I've seen LeRoy play a few times and same with Pembroke. This isn't LAST year. So i'll say they have NO chance if i would like to.

we will see wont we and i think it might come back to bite you from behind

[hilly]

oakfield looked pretty good tonight

[sectionvfanforlife]

Any thoughts? I think many people would love to hear them. This is a huge game for both teams.

I think oakfield is lookin really tough but so is pembroke...

[joeZam1]

I'll say pembroke by 13.Just a guess

[hilly]

Flip a coin. Both are great teams and if they played 10 times it would be 5-5. I can't wait to see it and I know both teams will fight hard.

[Section5sportsguy]

I think this game will be an offensive battle. Oakfield is a tough, physical team that can score 30+ on anybody, as proved in there win over Attica. Pembroke's loaded as well, and they should be able to compete. This game is a coin flip, it should be a classic.

[SectionVDude]

pembroke wins 28-13

[TurnTwo]

Pembroke is in for a rude awakening.

35-20 OA

[Berask]

I like oakfield after a convincing win over Attica last week. What happened with Oakfields QB last week. I got to the game late. Heard he walked off the field???

[sectionvfanforlife]

yea i heard the same. if anyone knows let us know.

[T'emUP]

i was at the game and from what i heard, he and the coach had a dispute of him running out of bounds, the QB didnt like what the coach told him and said a pretty nasty statement to him.. so he took his pads off and walked off.

[T'emUP]

I've seen LeRoy play a few times and same with Pembroke. This isn't LAST year. So i'll say they have NO chance if i would like to.

exactly this isn't last year. neither leroy or pembroke don't have played each other THIS year. so how can someone argue that pembroke won't be able to beat leroy? all you can do is evaluate the teams and from what i've seen, it will be quite interesting to see these two teams play. i wouldnt sleep on a team like pembroke though.

[sectionvfanforlife]

why would the qb just do that? the team is havin a great year. why ruin it for the team and switch the tempo especially in a big game like attica.

[Berask]

I really couldn't tell you. What kind of a kid does that sort of thing? I've never seen it in any sport. I've been pissed enough to walk out on my coaches, but I would never disrespect him or the team enough to actually do it. I hear he walked out and went to the school and was walking around the school until the game ended. What a great way to spend a friday night.

[joeZam1]

Sad situation for all involved..Wish them all well.

I see OA competing a lot better than pembroke. After seeing them play since i made that statement i regret doing it. They wont beat cal mum but they can beat leroy.

[BATHFAN]

Any opinions on the outcome of this game? I am thinking that Hfl comes out on top in this game 35-28

[PBrokeDragons]

OA's team is in ruins and we're going to man handle them. Mike is gonna run for at least 200 yards and score 4 touchdowns, at least.This game isn't going to be close. O-A beat a okay team in Attica. O-A's getting all this praise for beating who. A couple crappy teams and one decent one. I can't wait for this game.

Pembroke 49-7

Wow at least someone isn't a complete homer. OA isn't in ruins. Explain this to me?? Attica is better than average with a very good defense that OA put up 42 against. The weakness of OA is their defense. Letting an average Attica offense put up 20 points. You need to get your facts straight.

[sectionvfanforlife]

Well i think it will be a much tighter game than 49-7 and idk about mike having 200 yards i think it will be a battle till the end. I believe it will come down to who is stronger and conditioned, because the guys are going to be beating the heck out of eachother throughout the game. This is deffinately the GR game of the year.

[DrewVT6]

I really couldn't tell you. What kind of a kid does that sort of thing?

Well when you're under intense pressure as a teenager sometimes you make choices like that. Here's hoping he learns from it and moves on. I honesly think that's part of the virtue of sports at the high school level. It provides kids with a chance to see how they perform under pressure, and in reality the mistakes made have very little meaning in life...although they sure suck to deal with at the time of the event.

[conors72]

sadly, surprise will be the emotion invoked when we win a game. it shouldn't have to be that way. we're the best 0-4 team i've ever seen. and i'm not just saying that to butter it up.

[conors72]

Now that one you should have won could not believe some of the calls in that game.

yeah. can't change what's in the past.

[PBrokeDragons]

There QB walked out on the team. Thats putting a lot of pressure on the rest of the team. Yeah ruins is a strong word, but I stick by what I said. Plus even if that incident didn't happen we're still gonna murder them.

[TurnTwo]

How's Waterloo look this year? I know nothing about them. I hope our guys can rebound from a tough loss to Oakfield, but from the sounds of things, a win over Waterloo would be a huge upset. Anyone familiar with the Waterloo team that has any insight?

I'll be in Pembroke on Friday night regardless but I was just wondering what you guys think about this one.

[conors72]

Does the GR have a shot at knocking off the big boys in sectionals?

to answer your question, no. GR teams do not play the same kind of competition that the "big boys" do. Example A: Attica is ranked seventh out of the class b teams. Have they beaten one single quality opponent?? nope. If they are in the sectional tournament, i will put money down right now they exit first round. Sure they could put up a nice record, but it's still a pretty meaningless record when you're beating teams like Alexander and Barker. The points system is all screwy. It should be 3,5,and 7, instead of 4,5,and 6. this would knock attica right out of the GRL,and into the MCL, because they know they would be losing points to teams like pembroke and o-a. this would also bump athena out of division three in the mcl.

[SectionVDude]

hfl wins 30-28

[UNCTarheels]

H-F-L is without Starting Running Back Zach Whyte and I watched their Defense give up over 500 yards rushing vs. Bath two weeks ago, so if David Zapata is "Let Loose" he could rush for 400+, Bath's Andre McCloud had 330 & 5 TD's. We'll see but I doubt H-F-L wins this game.

[UNCTarheels]

Honeoye Falls-Lima vs. HHS: First to 50 wins?: Zapata will likely set new Section V rushing standard in first half (http://www.eveningtribune.com/articles/2007/09/28/sports/sports02.txt)-Hornell Tribune

Connor if not mistaken didn't Attica beat Batavia 2 years ago when the had Henderson and a few other big time players. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was at that game.

[TopShelf]

Nope your not wrong FallBall, I was there too, and yes Attica did beat a "big boy" Batavia and their stars.

[Section5sportsguy]

yeah, batavia beat attica last year. batavia had no stars. henderson- i don't think he played in that game due to a broken ankle. even if he did he would have been nowhere near 100% it's not big boy batavia. they're not big..

Your dissing yourself, Connie.

[Berask]

When Batavia had henderson they were supposed to do big things. They not only had henderson but they had a great defense to go along with it. I'm here to tell you that you're wrong Conor. Compared to little GR teams, Batavia is the biggest around. The schedule they play makes them a big school and it should prepare them to DESTROY teams like Attica.

I think your wrong there.They had a great offense but their defense couldn't stop anybody.Their defense was huge,I'm not sure what happened but they were talking about winning states that year and didn't make sectionals.A big disapointment.Even with Hendersons talent,they still couldn't win.

well back to my point.. you can't deny that attica doesn't play the same competition that batavia does, and "The schedule they play makes them a big school and it should prepare them to DESTROY teams like Attica" just proves exactly what i said

Their defense was awefull that year, too bad, Henderson was a tuff dude.Who was the Batavia D-coordinator then?

[Section5sportsguy]

Hows the knee, Conors?

[conors72]

Hows the knee, Conors?

how do you know about that

[Section5sportsguy]

Well i heard 72 hurt his knee.

[conors72]

Well i heard 72 hurt his knee.

haha where are you from? i didn't know that me hurting my knee would be well known news. seriously tell me cuz i need an ego boost.

[Section5sportsguy]

I know a student who goes to batavia.

[conors72]

well you're right, i did hurt my knee. i'm probably done for the year. but there's little to no drop off with the kid that has stepped in in my place. he's solid and blocks hard.
