Author TOPIC: WBHS Reality Check - 8 in the box = Viking Win

To Oxford Dad -
You were spot on about WBHS - They were matched against a good defensive line in Walled Lake Central who consistently put 8 men in the box. That effectively shut down the Laker's running game. Additionally the defensive pressure created several opportunities for takeaways - The WB squad appeared to be not disciplined and took needless penalties and turnovers. I saw a Viking defense that was spirited but ready to fall had the correct calls been made. In two cases WB had receivers left uncovered but the offense was unable to capitalize. This team could have easily put up 45 points just on missed chances. It was brutal to just see this team not get into the dream match with Clarkston.

I salute both WB and Oxford as well as our opponents. It was truly a good run. Until that time when we (Dads) meet again - CHEERS ALWAYS!
