Go PG!!
Also since there will be a plethora of PG haters that are wanting to post about how Jordan doesn't have a defense and that is why we won I would like to remind you that Jordan scored 6 points on PG's starting defense. There was a lot of chatter that PG fans couldn't talk until they beat somebody worth beating... well I'll let this game speak for itself.
(btw Alex Hart is an amazing QB and fun to watch)
Great job PG.
Dominating defense. (Hart was on his back all night - weather he got the ball off or not)
PG controlled the line on both sides of the ball.
I want to give PG's offense credit but you have to admit our defense is WEAK!!! (Good job PG offense)
They teach you this little thing in little league called wrapping up. Jordan, you might want to try it sometime.
No excuses - Jordan was out played, out coached, PG had a lot more heart than Jordan.
Jordan try to bounce back week against LP.
Offense: B+, Lloyd just makes things happen! Hymas had a strong night, Tucker had a break out game and it was good to see Sampson back in the mix, but the standout? Jeff Harris! That kid can run and its easier to tackle a ghost!
Offensive line: C, Lloyd still spends the night running, give him more time! Coaches, you had a good mix a few weeks ago, why on earth did you mess with it?
Defense: A, holding Jordan to 14 points, 6 against the starting unit was impressive!
Defensive line: A, QB's, that nightmare wears #11 and goes by the name of Joe Kruger, enough said! Jordan Read and Donny Lewis also stepped it up in the secondary.
Special teams: B, Sorhaitz can kick! Special teams learned how to tackle. Doman had a hard time catching the ball tonight.
Coaches: A, Coach Brady did an amazing job getting the defense ready, Coach Sanderson did good as well but needs to get the right offensive line on the field!
Note: Jordans Hart is a real player, very impressive, and his favorite target Hunt is great as well!
Hey... jk... I know that will wake up the PG fans.
Seriously, Great win. It is tough to win every game, no matter who you play. Your schedule works out perfect for you. Every team has been a little better every week since Timpanogos and now you face an even better team Brighton. LP should be no problem. Alta and Brighton will be great matchups.
Seriously, good luck to the players and coaches, not the delusional fans who think since they have beaten a bunch of teams that will not be in the playoffs, they are the best ever.
On a different note, I don't remember any specific problems with any other teams we have played so far this season, but Jordan was a classy team; players, coaches and fans. Alex Hart is a quality quarterback, and will continue to give teams fits.
Congratulations Vikings, stay focused and get ready for a tough Brighton team. You are really playing like a team and that is a beautiful thing to watch!!!
Go Diggers!
Hart, you are amazing!
The starting line has been Erickson at center, Hunt and Walker at guards, with Weese and Browne at tackle.
Injuries serious or otherwise have been Erickson, Weese and now it looks like Hunt.
Players seeing time for the injured are Jenkins, Fanaika, King.
The most effective lineup? Jenkins at center, Hunt and Walker at guards, Fanaika and Browne at tackles.
If Hunt's injury is long term, this is what I would like to see from left to right:
Tanoai-Fanaika-Jenkins-Walker-Browne
If Tanoai can play with a cast, he would make a big, fast, athletic player that could control the D end on the weak side.
Just my opinion.
You cant take a knee when Jordan had 3 time outs still. Running your QB up the middle is about the safest thing you can do in that situation
If you read the comments above, we, the true PG fans have nothing but respect for every opponent we face.
Region 4 has such great talent-anyone can beat anyone on a given night (Except Hillcrest as they are having a down year is all).
But, pretty soon the posers that like to stir things up from other schools and counties acting like they are PG fans will start to comment about PG just to tick everyone off.
Te real Pg fans want to pummell the posers worse than you Alta and Bingham fans. Just when the comments start coming-realize they arent from the true PG fans.
Amazing Defense PG. Props to Coach Brady-what a Defensive Mind. Jordan was big; a little work on the Defense and they would roll a lot of people.
Next week PG vs Brighton, and LP vs Jordan will be a battle.
I have seen everyone in the region and you will need to play better offensively to stay undefeated. If Jordan knew how to tackle you would have scored 2 less times.
Brighton, LP and Alta will give you the tougher games you need to prove yourself or not.
JHS Coaches- Hunt, Hammond, Hill open ALL night on slants and outs, why not just KEEP RUNNING THEM. For you guys your best defense is your offense, you dont need to throw deep balls when they play off ya 15 yards. Scoring can take long than 30 seconds. YOu could have been in that game if you took the underneath stuff all night. PG wasnt going to put up 50 on ya.
Note:I love how 1 fan can ruin the classyness of the rest of the blogs. Give credit to where credit is due!
PG is a much better team but Jordan had the best QB.
Jordan had the best QB because he's great and he has 2 great receivers and 2 good receivers.
Hart, Hunt and Hammond should have the D-1 offers.
Pg could have won 49-6 if they left thier starters in.
Half of third qtr and all 4th they just ran the ball to be nice.
Pulled starters after 3rd being up 35-6.
Jordan called 3 timeouts w/3 minutes to go try and make score respectable. I agree with that as they dont want to give up and kept starters in both sides all game. They scored on JV team.
Hart threw a pick with a 1:15 to go and Pg ran it down to the 2 yard line. Instead of scoring, they took 3 straight knees to end the game. Class.
It wasnt close. Plus the PG QB is a lot more dangerous and hard to prepare for.
But this is our year-LP will and must win against PG. We have the quickness and our QB Tannon is having a great year. Plus the Defense will step up. First, we need to contain Hart next week-which is possible after seeing PG do it. I know we will score 35 on Jordans Defense. Thanks for beating them PG for the standings.
-Accuracy
-Amazing scramble ability
-Decievingly quick (4.5 I am told)
-Unreal pocket presence
-Strong arm, can make every throw
-Production and Play making
-16-1 as a starter
What Hart brings
-Consistency
-Guts
-Accuracy
-Decent arm
-Quick Realease
-Pocket presence
-Chemistry with recievers
Take your pick of who is better. They are both amazing
Could care less about either team.
But we will prepare for PG.
Jordan prob wont make the playoffs unless they get some help. Very doubtful. But you Jordan fans can come watch Viewmont come playoff time.
I get tired of reading about who is the better quarterback based on numbers. I would take Lloyd or Brown from Alta hands down over Hart. They are both leaders of their team, and both do not care about their individual stats over winning. Jordan is all about individual numbers and who is doing what.... hey how about the team?
Give me a QB that is a flat out winner and leader on and off the field. That is who I would take. Brown and Lloyd are the class of 5A in that regard.
One year wonders that still have an awful lot to prove.
No need to rip on a HS kid.
Alta will destroy PG. MARK MY WORDS.
Isn't that one of your stupid lines you use.
I can't wait for PG to fall.
Everyone is sick of these PG jokers.
Go Lone Peak
Go Brighton
Kill them Alta
If you like Lloyd, you will not convince the Hart fans.
If you like Hart, you will not convince the Lloyd fans.
Lloyd will not play for Jordan and Hart will not Play for PG.
They both are effective high school quarterbacks for their respective teams.
Thats it, end or argument!
