CV/GV
- Thread starter newport
- Start date
Blow out coming…. Coatesville D out of position and not disciplined. GV looks like they won’t be stopped.
Making me wonder if GV can give SJP a run? have to control the clock and pounce on turnovers like they are doing now. I expected this game to be close considering GV is down one of their top weapons in Gallagher
SJP knows how to defend this. Disciplined, smart D will slow them down and force them to pass into coverage, their weakness. Prep should have the skill and size to play it honestly.
James Heard (SJP) was injured tonight. It'll make a difference if he can't play next week.
GV has looked great all year. I was surprised of the lack of respect and was calling them the Rodney Dangerfield of District 1. They have everyone’s attention and respect now. GV coaching looks phenomenal. They have sucked in every team’s linebackers and attacked the middle with ease. Actually missed a few easy ones that would of opened up the games earlier. Their D is real disciplined and they are still aggressive. Excellent coaching on all aspects of the game.
Sol - Garnet Valley is very very good but you contain the outside lanes you contain Reynolds and beat GV. Coatesville couldn’t do it. No disrespect but an observation.
What a send-off for Ricci’s last home game at the Moe.
congrats to Strath Haven as well. First time 2 Delco teams win the district championship since 2007 (Ridley/GV). Delco Represent!

Congrats to GV on a remarkable year and winning today without one of their top athletes. Respectfully disagree about some of the assessments. Every team that I’ve seen play them in the playoffs has played assignment football. It’s not that they’re NOT playing their assignments. It’s a system that probes and finds your weakness. Rule 1 against the option is take away the dive. The problem is that with this year’s GV team, they have the athletes, up front and in the backfield, to beat you multiple ways… West pretty much took away dive except for one play when a LB got caught out of position. They played a 52 with 2 safeties to fill their respective alleys. Qtown stayed in their 4-4. Coatesville played the same 6-2 they’ve played against West.
Once you take away dive, you need to be able to play the B, C and D gaps against double dive, keep, pitch and toss. Easier said then done when the QB and the tailback are D1 athletes. If you are playing with a single high safety, then that athlete has to play the middle of the field against any vertical threats then get downhill to help on double dive, pitch and toss. That’s a big ask for that guy. West got beat bc once they took dive away, GV went more to hitting the “wide dive” (veer) off tackle, pinning the LBs inside and making the safeties make the tackles. It’s still schematically sound defensively but you need your safeties to make a ton of tackles. In West’s case, their sophomore safeties were no match for GV’s athletes, and if they crept into the box then GV can run the TE by them on play action. Pick your poison.
To the question of what happens against St Joe’s, there’s one sure way to stop triple option. Have superior athletes on the field AND be sound.
