Re: 2017 Waverly Tigers
Good showing for the Tigers today. A few miscues on Offense, but for the most part the offense did what they wanted. Defense looked good. Took a series for them to find their way, but they came on later in the game. I think 3 ints and a fumble rec.
Re: 2017 Waverly Tigers
A lot of kids were given the opportunity to play defense for Waverly. That's a good thing. We'll see who earns those positions.
Re: 2017 Waverly Tigers
I know Trace is down this year but they are still big and strong. That being said, Waverly offense did what they wanted and looked very good. I knew skill positions would be good, just didn't know about the line until today.
Defense will continue to define itself as kids step up/in.
An overall very good showing by the Tigers.
Portsmouth will be a totally different matchup next Friday as they will match the Tigers speed.

Re: 2017 Waverly Tigers
smurray or anyone. Is the jamboree game at Portsmouth? And if so what day and time? I hear the Trojans are loaded. Thanks!
Re: 2017 Waverly Tigers
Thanks! It will be interesting to see how the Tiger's defense fares against the speed of Portsmouth. Perhaps a trip to the Ribber is in order to celebrate this event.
Re: 2017 Waverly Tigers
I wont be able to make it to P-town Friday, have family coming in from Lexington KY. Somebody give us a full report on how the Tigers look.
Re: 2017 Waverly Tigers
20-12 Portsmouth at the half. Tigers shooting themselves in the foot with penalties on both sides of the ball.
Re: 2017 Waverly Tigers
Refs weren't calling ANYTHING last week. Lining up offsides, holding, you name it - they weren't calling it. That helped no one.
Re: 2017 Waverly Tigers
Varsity came off the field after one series each in the third qtr. final was 27-18 Ports for varsity contest. Waverly had several big plays called back on penalties including a 65yrd TD run by Kritzy. D is still trying to get their legs. Several offsides penalties as well as missed tackles and some coverage confusion. Not sure the extent of the injury, but Brooker went out early in the contest and didn't come back. That would be a loss on both sides of the ball. Lots of work to do this week.
Re: 2017 Waverly Tigers
Losing Brooker will be a big blow defensively.
Better clean up the penalties and sure up the D before next Friday.

Re: 2017 Waverly Tigers
Hopefully the injured player is ok! Im sure the tiger coaches will clean up and have them ready for game one. I watche Portsmouth play last week against ironton and was impressed. The Trojans are pretty big and physical with good athletes. High expectations for the Trojans this year! Good luck to both teams this season!
Re: 2017 Waverly Tigers
Tigers ran the ball well for the most part tonight I thought. Kritzy ran hard and on the TD called back he made a couple nice cuts after the hold and showed some speed. Clayton looked comfortable in the pocket, he did get rushed a few times, but the worst throw I saw was the pick at the end of the half, which was basically a one-on-one matchup.
D jumped offsides a few times. Um didn't tackle well but stripped Parker a couple times had a pick dropped and one held onto. The QB's speed options hurt us. If Portsmouth is as good as advertised, they Tigers will be just fine. Brooker went out in first quarter with a knee injury anything more than that is speculation and I am not a dr ot p-t so we shall wait and see. He was very upset about not being out there. His loss will be felt.

Re: 2017 Waverly Tigers
Waverly has a good team ,I thought we played pretty good against them have to cut down on the fumbles obviously, Parker had some good runs and had one TD called back that we did not get back,and Kelly liked good running the offense.
Good luck to both teams, I think both will win their share of games this season.

Re: 2017 Waverly Tigers
Sure hated to see Brooker go down..just a huge loss for Waverly. It didn't look good. To get hurt right before the first game...feel bad for the kid.
Several nice passes by Clayton and equally good catches by our receivers. Portsmouth's coverage was actually very good. Sitting on the home side is always interesting listening to the fans. "How did he catch that ball" "That pass had to be perfect" "Waverly is going to be fine with those combinations and they have a good back"
Make no mistake, Kelly was very good also. Quick feet and fast really made it tough on Waverly's defense. A real duel threat. It's going to take a very good team to beat Portsmouth this year. Should be the best defense they've had in a while I would think. Good luck to both teams!
