I never really disagreed with the going for 2. I was feeling the same way about Richland’s chances in OT. It could be considered a gamble either way you look at it. If he’d made and somehow BH escaped with a win, he’d been a genius to many. I hope they learn something from this season about keeping leads because it’s 1st and 2nd round knockouts everybody year. I hope Tripp can stay healthy all next season. We could have used him along the way.

Thanks for the smartass reply. I know enough about football to know adjustments were not made to improve what was being done. You don’t stick to your pregame plan when it’s no longer working. It’s strategic, not rushing with no technique to attempt to stop an elite player. It’s not little league coaching to have a strategy to slow down the best player on the field, and I can tell you taking out an opposing teams best player by keying on him with or without the ball is nothing new. Yes, the letdown was the problem, but with no answer. So yes, back to the drawing board for the underclassmen left for for next season. This particular senior class has been exceptional every year and at all sports. Blowing that kind of lead should be criticized from anyone watching and I can guarantee the coaching staff will second guess many things they did in the 2nd half. So as a fan who has supported them for many years, I have an opinion. I’ve have praised the coaching staff at BH from to middle school and up compared to other schools in our district. Unlike many school in our district. The kids leaned much about the game at the lower levels. But they’ll never advance any further than 2nd to 3rd round by not being able to finish off a good team why they are down. Just like in basketball, BH will continue to make the playoffs year and year out. With the money being paid at all three major boys sports, the expectations are higher to get deeper in the playoffs. I know Abseck has his sights on nothing less than a state championship in football. Criticism from any media or keyboard warriors (myself included) comes with the territory and is expected. I was one of the ones who jumped the gun criticizing Richland on how they were undefeated and now eating crow and reminded of a lesson I learned a long time ago. I shoulda known better. but my passion for the game got the best of me when BH was pouncing on such a good team. I quickly gained respect for namely the two best players on either team. #1 and #51 will be playing Saturdays somewhere and I’ll be a fan. I’m glad I could add to the entertainment and critique on the forum. I’m still in shock!

Nah! He rides that read long enough to sell out on hitting him by the one he hits the line of scrimmage. Even if he gains a few it’s better than what we saw. Btw we did stack the box several times with same result. I watched the same game too.. 🙄

Yep, and I’m sure this gives Richland a lot of confidence after getting down by 25. They can say they never doubted they could come back but I’m certain it was more like play as hard as you can and see what happens. Between their defense making plays and BH handing it to them on a platter with so many 3 and outs and the onsides recovery that gave them momentum they really never lost. It was easy for anyone watching to get ahead of themselves. Lesson learned but we had already shown we know how to blow a lead. Hell we even had LaPorte 21-7 at one time and lost. Bh has a lot learn about holding a lead. Lesson learned!

People who are saying stack the box, nope, it won’t work with what their OL was accomplishing every play. They had virtually no one blocking on outside. Sell out because at that point it didn’t matter, they getting their a__ kicked either way. I’m rushing from outside and hitting 1 in the mouth with or without the ball every single play. When Guzman went out, it hurt just due to his strength being missed. I don’t get it, does BH not have one coach that can adapt to what the other team is doing or do the other coaches that see it have to bow down to the DC call. WHAT YOU WERE DOING WASN’T WORKING! So frustrating to watch as I watch and want to armchair QB from the stands. Lol I understand it’s easy to say in a forum but I’m disappointed in the lack of making changes in the moment. They (Richland) were pretty much one dimensional. Another thing was the lack of discipline all season, and it cost BH in many key moments. You have a couple players that needed to be gotten control of because they were rest assured going to get a penalty. Coach Abseck yelling at the OL on the bench Friday made me wonder where that was all season. I’d loved to see him yell and bench one or two skill players due to their selfish acts involving their mouth and actions. But nope, it all depends on who you are, even if you hurt your team in the long run. There were many times all season that the referee just didn’t throw the flag and BH got away with the mouth and undisciplined play. The difference in going a few rounds deep and a championship team lies in this type of play.

He only has to play as to not lose the game for them. #1 and #51 are stars/studs that BH have not see this year. Big lead should have been enough to keep stay on top. Our OC is questionable when it comes to getting to the next level in playoffs. I scratch my head at our outside receivers running so may go routes with no breathers. They are so noticeably tired and ineffective. Get them out for one or two plays so they can get down the field. That 2 point conversion play call may have been the worst I’ve seen all year. So so many plays if Fuentes tucks and runs, the drives are extended. My thoughts on the defensive strategy, or lack there of in the 2nd half is in another post. No major adjustments at all. Despite the high score, Offense making the defense stay on the field took it’s toll in the 2nd half.

Most definitely! I learned one that surely I already knew. BH punched them in the mouth I’m sure harder than anyone all year. But on the other hand, I definitely didn’t expect Richland to roll over and take the beating in the 2nd half , but I’d expected BH to play a lot better to hold onto the win. Accolades go to #1 for carrying his team on his back to fight back. BH has no idea how to keep a big lead. The onsides kick after the score after halftime gave them so much momentum and hope. I’m selling crashing #1 from both sides making someone else beat me. #51 taking out two players every play. Crash from the outside as QB rides that handoff. If he pulls it and runs, QB may or may not make a big play but 1 ain’t beating me play after play. I’ve liked this staff and it’s easy to question calls after the fact but damn, I know football pretty well and what you were doing wasn’t working, wth keep doing thinking you’re going to get a different result. 1 and 51 hands down best players on the field yet we let them take over the game.

They found life! #1 is the deal!

#51 has zero discipline and I’m sure he’s getting some college looks being that size. He’d be better off on bench.

Still early but we have half team in our district would give this team a run for their money. Maybe they’ll show something.

It’s early but how are they 11-0

BH was very fortunate MN just didn’t have the weapons to take advantage of so many 1st half mistakes. Played very well late in 2nd qtr and 2nd half. They cannot afford that with teams remaining. Especially, the shuttling in of players, not once but twice in a few plays, causing too many men on field. That’s coaching when it was clear MN was purposely going hurry up. Too many penalties in 1st. Still, after doing some research on Richland, anyone of the top four out of R2 D7 may be better than this 11-0 Richland team. Their district appears much weaker. BH should come out and punch them quick and often. Not to ever take an opponent lightly, but it’s just an observation. Let’s hope for nicer weather.

BH needs to go get it done against a good team going into the playoffs. Defense contains this QB to minimize big plays, they should be ok. If he having to throw every down, it’s a good night for BH. The Eagles should be able to move the ball but without turnovers. Other than LaPorte I’m 2nd half, No one has shown the way can consistently stop this offense.

I agree with this assessment but hoping for a Cinderella story for BH. I believe if LaPorte can sustain long drives and keep the football away from the opposing offense, they can sneak up and beat many a playoff team. PAM, it depends on who shows up. You take away the swag, you get what BH did to them last Friday. They have to find a way to keep it for 4 qtrs. Good luck to all from District 8.

PAM is tired and can’t stop the run
