greg775 Posted September 22, 2012 Author Share Posted September 22, 2012 Brother Rice is getting spanked 42-7 at halftime. I kind of had a feeling a combination of Carmel being amazing and Rice feeling good about itself after the great win over St. Rita might make it tough this week. O was wrong about Rice's defense. Looks bad tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carmel looked like it could score on any play it wanted. I guess some Rice fans complained about how the team ran the ball too much under the former coach. I still think the right formula for high school is run a ton like Mt. Carmel and throw maybe 10 times a game? This Rice formula of throwing 45 times a game kind of scares me. I don't think high school kids can pull that off over the course of a season without having some mega-turnover games. What u think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on the Loyola beat, but I've covered a bit of other teams in the area as well. Â I don't think running that much is very effective to be honest. If you have Mount Carmel's talent and coaching you can run just about any system and be fairly successful. MC is one of the most consistent teams in the state and they had an amazing run in the 90s and early 2000s, but they haven't won a state title since 2003. I wouldn't say they've fallen off, but teams like Maine South and Wheaton-Warrenville South have passed them up. Heck, both of those teams beat MC in state title games. Neither of those schools is run-heavy and both have produced good college QB prospects. Even in the Catholic League Loyola went undefeated last year running 4 and 5 WRs all the time. Â So, basically, I don't think there's one best system. You have to have talent, disciplined players and good coaching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who do you pick in the showdown? Loyola lost to Dallas Jesuit in Dublin, Ireland, in week 2 by 1 point. That Dallas team had 4 BCS level commits in its senior class. Before this week I thought Loyola would win, although MC's big win on Friday may have changed my mind. I'm truly on the fence. It's going to be a great game.

greg775 Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 Brother Rice got ripped pretty good tonight by the Celtics. I tell ya I'm not crazy about the no huddle spread offense on the high school level. BR finally got pick sixed tonight and it cost 'em the game pretty much. This quarterback they got is OK. What's gonna happen when they have a blah quarterback? Rice's defense is sucking, too. I'm thinking this coach is stressing offense more than D cause it takes some precision to run the spread. Of course I'm just speculating on that, but Rice is pretty lousy this year on defense. Â The fans who ripped Nye for running too much might be begging for him to come back.

Â Â They don't really let him throw very often. With what Illinois has I would bet that he plays a lot as a Frosh net year. However, if he has aspirations to make a career out of football it will be at a different position. He had plenty of offers to attend better football schools but they would not commit to him playing QB. He is a brick s***house though. If you went to the game not knowing who he was you would assume he was their MLB. Real good kid too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
