Michael Howey and Windham were much more than game managers.
-bn
have to get first downs to run the clock.
Blame the coaching, blame the refs, blame the weather
We don't play blame game- the better team won.
Uh oh 4:43pm...we chose almost the exact opposite score - this means we have to fight to the death or something, right?
"Milan is not even close to being better than LCC you do realize they almost lost to a 1 win airport team"
While I don't think Milan is better than LCC, you can't take one game and define a team. Sure, that's an ugly win, but they also played Marshall really tough and beat a good Riverview team, among other good wins.
"If Riverview had better coaching they'd be the best team in the league along with huron."
This is an insane thing to say. You can say that about almost any team anywhere at any level.
Good luck boys and " Let us Prey "!
LCC by 21+ Milan is not even close to being better than LCC you do realize they almost lost to a 1 win airport team , correct? If Riverview had better coaching they'd be the best team in the league along with huron. The only reason this stays close is because smcc runs the clock. LCC 35 smcc 13
Well said Chris. I'll take both of them. They both represent SMCC very well. Windham was a winner and a competitor. He has that Kobe Bryant and Jordan swag.
Great point, Chris - especially about the talent. All the past QBs of SMCC seem to have been cut from the same cloth. None of them are world-beaters, just reliable game-managers.
I disagree Chris. Bryce was a beast at basketball and now he is a shortstop for Old Dominion.
I thought Bryce was a freak athlete
Figure of speech there Mr. Schultz. Some luck was involved in the play. Wherever it came from. QB argument is silly. I agree.
Lots of teams have winners on them. SMCC has had the majority lately.
