PREP FOOTBALL - GAME OF THE WEEK

Ryan, Rick

2016

Overview

\"Somebody asked me if it would have helped practicing in mud,\" [Jeremy Taylor] said, \"and I said no because practicing in mud doesn't make your backs 40, 50 pounds heavier or make your linemen grow 4 inches. They were pounding it right at us and we couldn't do anything about it. That's not to say we're a finesse team, but we're not a ground and pound team against someone of that caliber.\" \"I think we match up a little better with Capital than Spring Valley,\" Taylor said, \"but they're really good. You can stuff them five straight downs and the next thing you know, [Silas Nazario] or whoever goes 60 yards for a touchdown. Their quarterback [[Kerry Martin Jr.]] is 15 years old, and he's another [TyRhee] Pratt. That's why they're up there with the Martinsburgs and the Huntingtons and the teams like that.\" \"They're solid every year,\" [Jon Carpenter] said. \"It's funny; they never take a year off. They're the same team every year. They're always good at what they do, don't make mistakes and do what they're supposed to do on defense. They're always well-coached.\"
