El dorado vs Marion.

What are your thoughts on this one??

If Eldo has most of its wounded back, they will win.  Won't venture a score, but a win none the less.

I know two of the injured players came back two weeks ago.  The rest were season ending injuries. I believe.

2 of the 3 that were not season ending played last week. Still waiting on one to get healed.

Marion is inconsistent, so hard to predict this one. I give ED the nod in this one with players getting back.  QB play will be key this week, like what our defense front can do at times.

[Oldbadger]

Stop Marion's QB, you stop Marion.

[T-Bone]

Stop Marion's QB, you stop Marion.

He was getting banged up pretty bad against Jonesboro.  Even getting banged up and often getting up slow after a hit the QB did his job and did well.  A lot of that has to do with the other weapons having speed.  Blitz and do it often but watch that fast RB if he is able to get the ball to him.

My thoughts, too. Jonesboro had more success when they blitzed. He's not real mobile, and isn't going to beat you with his feet. He also wasn't terribly accurate on short throws, so make him get rid of it quickly.

I see why Hootens has this as the game of the week. No one really knows what to expect from two 5-5 teams and not knowing what to expect in the 6A is right up their alley...  But seriously, I believe that the past successes of EDHS has them doing better in people's minds than what reality may prove. Marion is very, very potent and I appreciate this forum's recognition of that fact. Marion wins 31-14 in my mind. But, that may be entirely off base. In which case, I'll submit an application to Hootens.

I'd like to see the box score for this game.  Turnovers? Time of Possession?  After 10-3 at half, El Dorado scored 21 points in the 3rd quarter.

I was listening on radio, but halfway paying attention at times. I think Eldo shot themselves in the foot in first half with penalties. Also time management issues. Was inside redzone with less than a minute in half and didn't get out of bounds with no timeouts left to stop clock.  Maybe one turnover in second half by Marion. According to the radio crew, Eldo defensive line was in QB face all night, and our running game dominated in second half. Eldo had good field position to start second half after failed onside kick attempt. I think it was won in the trenches by Eldo.

Marion had 3 TO's to El Do's none. time of possession was in favor of El Do 30 plus to about 20 for Marion. El Dorado dominated line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball.

[Oldbadger]

Good job, Wildcats!

[Gomer_Pyle_It_On]

An outstanding performance by El Dorado. They play like that, Greenwood may be in for a surprise. Not saying El Dorado wins, but at least makes them sweat. Best of luck to the Wildcats!

Wow, I didn't see this one coming at all.  I like to be pleasantly surprised and this one will hopefully give us some boost of confidence into the next round.  It will be a juggernaut, but knowing they pulled off the upset 2 years ago...anything can happen in the playoffs.  Hopefully, Coach Reed can pull another rabbit out of his highly decorated hat!
