East is always just way more physical. East is going to score 28+ on everyone in the HHC, I don't think anyone is going to break 20 on the East D in the HHC. I also feel like these Floyd kids might have some Strength and Conditioning issues; they always seem to be hurt every year.
Yep, I knew they were good this year, and I knew CG was/is still trying to figure everything out after losing so much talent from last years team. Each week, each win builds confidence in this CG team.
The worst East is going to do is tie for 1st. I don't see East losing an HHC game this year tho. In all honesty, I picked Floyd to win tonight, just from what I saw from Seymour last week (Seymour being undersized and getting moved on the lines). Hats off to them for battling and winning a tight game.
Columbus East - 49
Jennings County - 0
Final
Was a rough first 2 weeks against Whiteland and Columbus North. East held the lead at half against Whiteland, but ultimately was outmatched in the 2nd half and lost 26-8. Week 2 East once again was in a tight game for a half but just fell apart against North (worst half of East football I've seen in a long time) Hoping the boys have somewhat figured out a little more each week.
Turn-overs for sure. East also shot themselves in the foot with penalties on a few drives. The difference was Seymour had no answer for East' O-Line as East ran for over 300 yards and around 475 yards of total offense.
Columbus North - 10
Columbus East - 6
Halftime... Fogarty's post pretty much sums up CE right now. I expect CE to fare much better in the HHC, but against 2 teams that are large (Whiteland is gigantic) it just seems like the offense can't do much.
Columbus North - 7
Columbus East - 3
7:19 2nd Quarter.
If this East offense continues to be as pathetic as it has been, this game will get ugly, because North is a good team.
East leads 3-0 after the 1st quarter. The North Team gave 5A #2 Decatur Central all they wanted last week, so I am hoping they stay competitive this game.
Whoever is in charge of the offensive play calling for East should not have a job. Thats the nicest way of saying it. East defense has done a pretty good job so far.

1st quarter
East having a hard time stopping the sweep, like they have the last 2 decades... Good thing for East, they won't see another team run this offense. Still a much much better East team.
