DIVISION 3 STATE CHAMPIONS YOUNGSTOWN CARDINAL MOONEY def. Columbus DeSales 35-7

  • ridgerunner88
    DeSales D is not the Big Red D. They are bigger, stronger, and faster. Mooney won't get to 20 points, DeSales might not either.

    No recruiting BS...

    No public vs. private garbage...

    Does this mean someone might actually talk about the game?

    This one goes out to the DeSales folks...Is the same QB starting that started the game in week 2?
    #14 Nick Gentile-QB

    #5 Chi Chi Ariguzo-LB, the answer for Heard.

    Answer for Heard?

    Week 2 vs. DeSales:

    Braylon Heard, 16 carries for 176 yards.

    Yeah, how many did he have last night.
    That was a long time ago in HS football time.
    I'm sure DeSales can live with giving up 150 on the ground.
    I think they get less, it's not like you have to even worry about the passing game.
  • Mooney44Cards
    Less than 150 on the ground? For Mooney? Is this a joke? Oh thank god you're joking.....
  • SQ_Crazies
    It's stupid to even call one player the answer for Heard. It'll have to be a team effort if you want to stop him--make it the job of one guy and you're done for.

    He had over 300 yards last night and from what those at the game posted he looked as fresh in the 4th quarter as he did in the first.

    I never saw him do anything but sweep around the ends, but if you're that fast, why do anything else. Kids got an extra gear.

    Spies are used at every level of football for a dominate back field player.

    Grammar nazi to the rescue!

    "dominate" is a verb....pronounced (DAHM - in - ate)
    as in "Behind its stellar offensive line and flashy back Braylon Heard, Mooney proceeded to dominate Steubenville in the state semi-final."

    "dominant" is an adjective....pronounced (DAHM - in - ent)
    as in "Mooney's offensive line was dominant last night.

    Coach Reno from Big Red is a pretty smart guy and has been in the game a long time. If it were as simple as putting a spy on Heard I'm sure he wouldve done it.
  • ZalKath
    either that or his/our spies were like those in "Spies Like Us" ;)

    Thanks, every one loves to have they're gramar corrected. It's not obnoxious at all.

    I never said they should use a spy, I was responding to a post that said putting one player on another is stupid.

    Mooney has a great running back. DeSales has a great linebacker.
  • ridgerunner88
    Braylon Heard has a pretty high mark to get into the state title game record books.

    ALL TIME TITLE GAME INDIVIDUAL RUSHING RECORD, ALL DIVISIONS.

    2001 D5 title game...St. Peter Chanel vs. Marion Pleasant
    Tony Franklin...33 for 393 yards. St. Peter as a team 414 yards.

    2000 D5 title game...St. Peter Chanel vs. Amanda Clear Creek
    Tony Franklin...8 for -1 yards. St. Peter as a team 13 yards.

    The defense does have something to do with it.

    Did the defense have something to do with Mooney rushing for 334 yards in week 2?
  • darbypitcher22
    I think Mooney wore down DeSales in Week 2; the Stallions just couldn't get off the field when they needed to, but they somehow kept it close throughout most of the 2nd half

    You think they learned anything from that game? The loser always gets more out of it than the winner. We'll see next weekend.

    Is ridgerunner tank2nasty? I heard the same crap last week from tank. If it is so easy to stop Heard how come 14 teams haven't been able to do it?

    Crap?
    Oh, my bad.
    Mooney will blow DeSales out. I don't even know why they're playing the game.
    Is that better?
    NOT!!!

    I didn't see anyone answer the question. Game 2 had Mitch Herbert as QB. He was hurt in game 3 and since coming back has been playing safety. Nick Gentile has been playing QB ever since.

    Good luck to the Mooney players and coaches in practice this week.

    I watched the game on STO last night and was very impressed. It will take DeSales best effort to win, but heck it's the State Championship so you better have your best effort.
