[quote name="jnunn" post="1127584" timestamp="1321991097"] Let’s address the offensive output or rather the lack of offensive output by the Trojans the last two games. To start with they played two dang good defensive teams and both had mirror defensive schemes prepared for Coldspring. Stack the line, put 8 men in the box and close down the ends. Make them throw the ball. It was effective but as most good teams do, the Trojans found a way to scratch out a win. Taking nothing away from either team, BC or Bellville, what very few people knew was they were defending against a wounded warrior. Sherman Gilbert suffered from the flu symptoms going into the Bridge City game and the plan was to ride Colton Monroe and use Gilbert as a decoy. Monroe was knocked out before half and went to the hospital. You know the results. The flu carried over to the Bellville game with Gilbert passing out after the game while still on the field. Once again Colton Monroe had to carry the baggage with Gilbert the decoy. Gilbert ended up with just 57 yds rushing while Monroe had 107. Monroe was a key to the game, therefore to prevent any chance of an injury he was pulled out of the defensive lineup where he had been a stone wall all season. Once again Colton Monroe did a fantastic job of filling in but I am not sure he can go like that again. He was WAXED at the end of the game. His only remarks after the game was “Man I am glad that is over…†Mean while Gilbert is recovering fine and should be back to carrying the baggage this week at Lorena. I hope he will be 80-100% and he can bounce back. Don’t get me wrong Sherman and the Trojans did a great job at covering up his flu, but anyone following this team knew he was not 100% and it showed.
