Kearney vs. Canisius

[bkvs4]

I want to know what people think of Bishop Kearney's Homecoming game vs. Canisius...

[sportsjunky]

Pretty impressive! They beat a good team. I was told from a coach who was watching, that canesius had 6 turnovers, and a touchdown in the end that was called so by one ref, and turned over from another! Give the credit regardless to BK, they beat a good team no matter how the luck fell! Go BK, can't wait to see them play AQ! AQ is a much better team, but thats why we play the game!

Yes i believe they did have 6 turnovers in the game between the 2-3 quarters mostly interceptions and i think one fumble. but there were some interceptions and fumbles that were gotten but taken away because of penalties on kearney.

[rje5270]

quality opponent this season.

[work-ethic11]

BK got by, by the tail of there chinny chin chin. Hats off to there defense for the most part. If the level of play had not been there by Jordian and Kris Gause Kearney could have easily lost the game.

Along with Q Gause those 3 played one hell of a ball game. The corner back for Kearney gave up 18 points alone. I was shocked the coaching staff never made the adjustment on D. The kid plays 20 yards of the receiver.

Canisus capitalized on it in the third period and fourth period. The O line for BK was not that impressive.
They could use some work on adjusting the front line. If they did, they'd be more effective with the running game.

Q seems to be a very good RB but the line breaks down before he gets the ball. He shows he has the strength of a future hall of famer one day but if the coaches don't make the adjustments on the line..........This kid could get hurt before the AQ game. Again, Hats off to the Defense of Kearney they won the game on the line.

[cousinpete]

Before you annoint the Gause clan, lets be realistic here. I too was at the game, and at no point did I see your two boys controling things, that kid number 15 controled the game, and didn't # 32 have a huge fumble?

[work-ethic11]

Sorry to disappoint you. They are not related. I know good football when I see it. After reviewing film of the game it shows penetration on the D line. It also shows Jerome Lewis doing a good job as well. He did get pushed back on offense and did no blocking at all. He released # 24 everytime.

A defensive ends job is not just to slice in at the QB but to maintain that outside at all times. He made some good plays on defense.

Did Kris intercept the ball? Did he prevent the back from picking up crucial yards on the outside?. Mind you, his coach has him at outside Linebacker but because he's a tough kid he moves him at middle as well and he is able to cover the outside because he's quick.

As To his younger brother. He was double teamed, yet still contained and penetrated. He disrupted there play. I have that on film as well.

BK has a team that truly performed on the defense but those Gause kids had a lot of tackles out there. Jerome had tackles too. He also had sacks.

But when it was time to step up to the plate who who was there....Q Gause and his Cousin Kris Gause. Who stopped the back from scoring on the last play of the game which almost ended in BKs lost... J. Gause and Q. Gause.

Q. was all over the field. What about your corner back #1 what kind of game did he have. You forgot to mention that or maybe you were not at the game.

They threw all over this kid. Again, view the film he stays 20 yards from the receiver. He backs up once the ball is snapped thus giving another 10 yards for the receiver to catch a pass.
I did not hear you mention how great the offensive line was. That team penetrated with ease. Where was #15 at. What did #53 do. I see he was simply in the way.

Exciting plays are nice to see. Even score. But what is Kearney going to do when you play better opponents out there.

The defense over all did well. I did however see a level of play with the interior defense.
Key plays were made by those Gause kids when it was needed. View the film.

#5 did great on D and #50. #54 got blanked okay???!!!!!
Glad your team won. My team is MQ not BK.
Give your team some credit by thanking those guys or all of them I don't care. But thats whats on film. Go buy one and recapture the moments you missed buddy.

[kearneyking]

sounds like work-ethic11 is the gause father by the way he is boasting his kids. and as for the offensive line #53 starts next at guard at 160 lbs next to Jordian who has got to be atleast 210 and 54 went out in the 2nd quater with a concussion. the kings didn't up to their potential but they did pull out a great homecoming victory.

[bkvs4]

Do they have a chance at AQ?

[work-ethic11]

View your teams film. For someone like yourself who either attends or has a kid playing on the team. I simply said those Gause kids stepped up when you needed them to.

Understand if you can. You won but you almost lost. If your coaches don't make the adjustments with the up coming games you will loose!

Q:1 How good is your Corner back #1

Q:2 If your running back Q goes down who steps in his place.

Q:3 Why does your QB get sacked all the time.

Q:4 Why does your QB roll right all the time. Is that all he can do?.

Q:5 If your line backers went down would you still win or be effective stopping the run.

Q:6 There's a kid #2 why don't you keep him at saftey. He's faster and better than your quarterback who can't get to the receiver fast enough nor catch the ball for an interception. #2 has a better feel for the position.

You my dear friend may be one of the coaches who can't coach these kids to a division title.

Take a look at your real good athletes. You only have a hand full. Three of themm just happen to come from the Gause family. If it sounds like I like them thats okay. The truth is there actions on the field says a lot.

If you can butter your brain down for a moment and think..........Kearney needs to make adjustments. Do you at least agree on that.

You guys can't win on mistakes forever. Show us you can move the ball down field.

Blown coverage plays for TDs don't last forever. Your Quarterback drops back 7 yards than retreats 15 more before he's sacked. You guys need help on your O line.

Your TE wont block and I don't think he really can if he even tried.
#54 works very hard and will be one to reckon with being he's a junior. He's a real good player but he did get zonked. (I hope the kid is okay).

Over all your Offense needs a lot of help. I hope they find a way. I'd like to see a good game between AQ and BK.

PS you can help your team by telling the truth most of the time. Check your film out. It's right in your face.....if you open your eyes and look.

Yes, #32 did have a fumble on the exchange from Meek...Both their faults, but #32 also had the go ahead TD on an 82 yard pass from meek, they both made up for it. Cousinpete and Work-ethic, both of you sound like sore winners...you cannot even appreciate the teams hard work and ability to fight back and get the win, both of you are standing around pointing fingers! No one kid controlled that game it was a total team effort. I was there and all those kids fought back! You Kearney fans cannot even appreciate the win...What is in the water over there on Kings Hwy? If that were a Brighton victory, we are so used to losing it would never matter how we won, everybody is gonna be happy about it! You should have lost with attitudes and finger-pointing like that, than it would make sense! Ever since the Brighton game I have become a fan of Kearney and the quiet peaceful humbleness that they show after every victory...but you adults (or kids) really show the true colors of the fans of at Kearney...Black and Blue!!! Get a life! These are high-school kids we're talking about! I wish Brighton could have traded places with you this weekend...Than how would you feel!

[work-ethic11]

FmrBrighton. You are right.

Kearney kids played one heck of a game out there. I'm looking at the future games they have and hope they make adjustments or something out there.

You just can't go to the well everytime and think H2O will be there! The team is good especially on defense. The line seems to hold everytime.

If Kearney can't move the ball after turn overs than where is the plus factors???? Take aways are nice but where were the points to go with it. The game should not have been close. The score doesn't represent the level of play the DF played over all.

The only reason they scored was because they exploited your corner back #1. Know lets look at the deep ball. If that team would have caught just one in the 1st 2nd quarter....end of game. Cause and Effect, your safety. Stop taking the high risk of keeping the wrong personnel in.

Otherwise a good potenial team like Kearney can hit the high road to the lockers.

Remember.........HIGH RISK EQUALS HIGH ROAD.....DETOUR TO LOCKER ROOM.

[FmrBrighton]

Do they have a chance at AQ?


I think if Kearney had the perfect game, they have a chance, but if they play AQ like they did Canisius and Greece Olympia, they will loose. Kearney controlled both games early on, but gave up huge points in the 3rd and 4th qtr of each game, and yes...Quentin Gause had a 70 Yard TD run, and a 82 Yard TD reception to seal both victories in the closing minutes... With AQ, I don't think the BK running game is gonna be a factor due to the voids in the O-Line, but the passing attack will present problems for AQ's secondary, Meek has to get rid of the ball faster and not only look for #5 all the time, as good as he is he should be having 8-9 different receivers catch his passes. And then he can take thw AQ pass-rush right out of the game. I am rooting for the underdog (I am from bighton) would love to see both Kearney and McQ upset AQ.

[cousinpete]

Obviously you are either a parent or a very good friend of the Gause Family. Try to remember before you make your verbal attacks, that these are teen age young men, you hide behind a computer screen and write trash about coaches, and players. It is easy to see you have an axe to grind with someone from BK. Players make mistakes, players get beat, players forget assignments, players miss tackles, players don't hit the right hole, players fumble, players throw interceptions, did I leave anything out. Try to remember sir, this is a Class C school that just beat a Class AA school. it was a great win for the team, and coaches have to get credit for not letting the team fold, when things weren't going well. Good Win, Good Team, don't detract from the victory by hyping and trashing other teammates of your Gause Family.

[kearneyking]

Kearney has a coaching staff that will make the adjustments that are needed and will try to correct the mental errors. As for you calling out all these players you have no idea who they are and what they can do. You have probably seen #1 play one game at corner. Maybe he just had a bad day? You don't know these kids the least bit. I know for a fact #2 wouldn't come up from safety and make those hits in the run game like Meek is. Remember BK is a Class C team defeating Class A teams by large margins. The AQ vs BK game will be a great game.

[sportsjunky]

After all is said and done, nice job to BK for all who is reading!! Canesius made many ,many mistakes and turnovers that wouldn't have made the game not the same at all......BUT, as a team you have to capitalize on those many turnovers, and as a team, BK did! They deserve credit for that. And yes, all players will make mistakes, but believe me they have a great coaching staff and very talented athletes, and WILL make the adjustments I think. When it comes to the AQ thing, BK better block, because they turned a kid from UE named Jordan Thomas into minced meat, and this kid HAS a scholarship to Rutgers! And the offense and defensive line are VERY big, and VERY strong! In the first game of the season against Canesius, AQ played very unlike their next few, just alone 6 delay of game penalties, 4 turnovers, and missed opportunities because of that! 19 to 0 doesn't really show what could have happened in that game! Since that game AQ has not turned the ball over once and look like a machine! Now the game between BK and AQ is very uneven, BUT the MCQ and AQ game should be a good one! Still, AQ would have to shoot themselves in both feet to lose that one, but it will be better then the BK game! BK fans should get a discount on the tickets as they come in!

[rje5270]

and in the case of the Irish that appears to be very true as they are now on a roll.

[KGause]

As a member of the Gause family and a former student at Bishop Kearney High School, I'd like to thank all for their supportive posts and comments about any of the Gause kids and BK. I'd also like to say that cousinpete, and fmrbrighton are both 100% correct. If your going to support BK, and the Gause boys for that matter by putting down coaches, staff or other kids on the team, than we don't want your support, that is not what BK or my family is all about. All 3 of my nephews enjoy the direction and the leadership they are receiving as a team by Coach Long, and Carlisi. I would ask my family, friends, and all supporters to refrain from posting any negative comments that could possibly cause confusion between famlies, friends, teamates, and staff at Kearney, or any school for that matter. We need to encourage and not discourage.

On a personal note, I'd like to praise the coaching staff on a remarkable come from behind victory over Buffalo Class AA Canisius. A win like that creates growth among your team, it shows the will to fight til the end, and not accept defeat. Keep up the good work!

Great post Mr. Gause!!! I wish more fans would appreciate the game using this approach! I am gonna bring Cam down to for you to train him after the season, I also have another kid that I would love to have train with you and Nephews as well...We will talk soon! Great Post man!

[bkvs4]

thank you for commenting KGause. Very positive

[work-ethic11]

My appologies to any staff or student body who may have been offended by my post.
It was in no way intended to discourage the youth in our community. I wish the best to the players and coaches of Bishop Kearney.

I will try to keep my opinions as positve and non-demeaning as to not hurt nor offend student athletes as they are students first at all times.

I am not a relative but Mr. Gause I do appologize to you and your family as well. I am a christian and I find strong belief in staying with in the boundaries of fair play.

You placed a direct point as even myself could not walk away from.

I wish all the teams in monroe county the best of luck!

Thank you sir...Our family has alot of respect for the staff, coaches, friends, alumni and fans of BK. I personally have a repore with many of the great athletes on the football team, and those kids are having to good of a season to be distracted by the confusion from the mistakes of 1 game. Coach Long and his family are personal friends of me and my family. And I will not let anybody, and I mean ANYBODY!!! Come on these threads and 2nd guess the coaches decisions. At one time I played under Coach Carlisi, and this man knows how to motivate a group of individuals no matter what the age group is... I admire him as a man! I accept your apology work-ethic, And I hope it's sincere for the sake of the kids! My nephews are in a team environment and the entire team is learning how to adopt to winning and being a Championship Team...the leadership that Jake Meek, Jerome Lewis, Quentin Washington, Davis and Blair Roberts bring is gonna continue to take them into success deep into the season as SR.'s These guys were there for all of the losses over the last few years, and with that experience they lead their team. I respect, and admire this group of kids, I won't allow anyone to break that up. They are playing the best team ball that I have seen Kearney play in many, many years. I hope they reach their State Championship Goal this year..............Good Luck Kearney!

Apology accepted!!!

[mrmiamih]

This is certainly BK's year, talent and motivation is there

now up to the young men to bring the prize home

[rje5270]

next Friday night.

[mrmiamih]

AQ has more #'s and should win game

[bkvs4]

it'll be a big game i know for sure and i also know Kearney will be very excited. Alot of BK fans have been waiting for this game and are ready to cheer their team on. BK has worked very hard and we'll have to wait and see what they do.

[work-ethic11]

The Defense of BK will be the best AQ will be faced with all year.

I expect to see one of the best Offenses verses one of the best Defenses this year.

It will be an exciting game to watch and a tough game for both teams.

[sportsjunky]

True point with the BK fans! But AQ prepares for WAR not battle and those boys are chomping at the bit for a piece of MCQ AND BK! It will also be the best offense AND defense that BK has seen! AQ has not allowed a TD with their first team yet. The 3 TD's in the four games they played were on the second team. The first team played the whole game vs Canesius, and shut Canesius down!! As i recall BK let up 3 or 4 TD's, with one being a controversial call for ANOTHER one! BK better come prepared AND play perfect, to not get embarrassed, the better game will be against MCQ!

[z10man31]

does anyone know if there is a pre-sale for tickets to the AQ-BK game or can we just walk up and pay at the gate?

[rje5270]

stadium has plenty of seating and standing room.

[crazyformcq]

stadium has plenty of seating and standing room.

I agree with Miami. AQ pulls away late as they start to physically wear down BK. I will say though that if Kearney gets a few big plays it could get interesting. I still long for the days when AQ, Kearney, Cardinal Mooney and McQuaid were part of the city- Catholic league. For us old timers, this will be fun to attend anyway.

[work-ethic11]

Aq has a very good offensive line. There technique is simple. Tight formation with extended hands and feet moving, driving at all times.

This will be the first true test AQ will have faced all season. The stlye of play between the defense of Bishop Kearney with there swarming style blitzing will in my opinion disrupt the run game of AQ.

Both teams are coming on the field with something to prove. This will be the first test for Mess. as he has always ran the ball well. He being an east west runner may not be enough for the quickness of Kearneys linebackers.

Aq reminds me of the New England Patriots. They were the unbeatable team yet lost to the Giants.

Bow to the King!!
Kearney by 12.

33-21

[sportsjunky]

Come watch the game "work-ethic" and you will learn what a real football team looks like! When Kearny does their little A and B gap blitzes that they love,they will get soaked up and messina will be 20 yards past the line of scrimmage before any linebackers have a clue! Long day for Blair Roberts, he will be chasing him all day long! As for the passing game, AQ has tremendous athletes in the secondary and at WR! Blitz those backers into a well-trained, hard-working, very big o-line!!

[work-ethic11]

Thanks for the invite!

I expect many will be there and it will be a game to hold your breath for. A lot at stake for both teams as they are both good at what they do.

This is what many have anticipated all season long. Both teams come into the game with winning records.

AQ will be truly tested for the first time this season. This is Rochester not Buffalo. Scores and highlights of prior games don't play a factor in fridays game.

This is a test of true grit between to very good teams. I look forward to the excitement this weekend.
