Waverly Tigers 2019

[smurray]

Smurray I saw awhile back on another thread that Waverly was building upgrades to their facilities. How is this coming along?

Suppose to start with two separate buildings on the hill, one will follow completion of the first. I’m not sure where they are in the process. Ill be up there Wednesday....

[Crab's Brother]

I feel like Waverly has been doing a different upgrade each year for the last 10 or so years.

[The Flush]

I haven't seen any signs of construction up on the hill, as of last week.

Waverly’s line this year will be made up of some Big kids The only returning starters will be junior center Spence Pollard and Junior Guard Andrew Welch. Welch is coming off an ACL surgery that he had in late October 2018. Senior Guard Zack Brown (out with ACL and Meniscus tear February) most likely will not return this season, though I have seen him hanging out at practice, will be replaced by Junior Aiden Diehl. Junior Blaise Reader and Freshman Brock Adams will hold the Tackle positions. Each of them weighing in at about 275 plus. 4 out of the 5 have played together for the last 5 years so team work shouldn’t be an issue. I’m sure coach knight will have them in shape come game time

Thanks for the info on the line. I was wondering about Brown. I sure hope he plays with it being his senior year but no one could blame him for not after suffering two major injuries last year.
I heard about incoming Freshman Brock Adams possibly starting which is impressive.
4 Juniors and a Freshman unless Brown comes out - interesting there’s no senior starters on the line. Who would be some backups if any of those guys go down???

Backups seem slim. Junior Tyler King has been seeing some time subbing at Right Gaurd and Sophomore Zach Green has been subbing at Left Gaurd, but that has been about all the shared time that I have seen in this first week of 2adays.

1st scrimmage at home this Saturday at 10am vs Miami Trace.

Hoping to check em out then. What does Miami Trace bring to Waverly Saturday. Tigers controlled most of the scrimmage last year.

[Pickinbeans]

How do you think the Tiger defense will hold together this year?

[OldTiger]

Waverly’s 1st 10 play offensive series resulted in 2 touchdowns. One was a run up the middle by Shoemaker, the other was a 40yd pass from QB wade Futhey to his brother Will Futhey. Shanks is sitting out with a sprain.

[OldTiger]

Waverly’s defense series kept Miami Trace scoreless in their offensive series with 2ints, and a sack.

[OldTiger]

For Down and distance the Waverly O ran 9 plays and scored on a 30yrd pass Futhey to Futhey.

[OldTiger]

For down and distance Miami Trace O ran 14 plays and went 40yrds. Turned ball over on downs.

[OldTiger]

2nd series Waverly O fumbled the exchange Trace recovers. And goes 22yrds on 5plays to score with a 3yrd pass.

Wade Futhey has to be given credit, sophomore stepping in and threw several nice passes! Located his receivers fairly well and fairly accurate. He didn’t look too nervous, but I am sure he was.

[OldTiger]

Payton Shoemaker 45yrd run TD.

[OldTiger]

Across all series
Waverly 5 scores
Miami Trace 4 score.

Absolutely!! Wade looked like a natural. Wouldn’t have guessed he’s only had about 4 practices at QB.

[Tiger Dad 2021]

How long is Shanks out? Is the return date the younger Wolfe boy?

How did the Defense look? Did Swepston return? I heard he may be playing at Piketon.

If my memory is correct the Freshman and Sophomore class were very dominant in Junior Higj

[The Flush]

Shanks plans to play against Athens.

Sweptson is playing for Waverly.

Not sure on the return for Wolfe, but he is at least going through some practices.

Returning starting center Pollard is banged up.

I can't recall for sure, but I thought the starting defense only gave up 1 TD and the others were by the JV. There were several interceptions.
