Kings over CCS 28-7

[Fan_of_Hoop]

The westside reign of the Cougs ends tonight at the hands of the Knights. Kings scored on 4 of 5 possessions in the first half and the Cougs finally got on the board in the last seconds of the first half. CCS then opened the 2nd half by marching to the Knights 2, but a couple of penalties killed the drive and Kings held. On their next possession the Cougs again got the ball to about the 5 but could not punch it in. Kings got nothing really going in the second half, but seemed content to grind away and use clock and then kick it away. Green had a big night rushing as the Cougs dropped 8 into coverage most of the night. Congrats to the Knights -- they are a very good team.

The season certainly did not end the way the Cougs wanted -- still a solid seaon and losing to Kings was nothing to be ashamed of. Great job by all of the seniors -- we are sorry to see you go! But the Cougs will be back next year -- they started only two seniors on defense (3 sophmores) and 4 seniors on offense (4 sophmores started and as many as 6 were on the field at times). They return the QB, top 5 rushers, TE, H-back, punter, and kicker. The Cougs will certainly be back....

Hats off to CCS. The first team all year to figure out how to neutralize King's offense. Great game plan on defense. Green had all time to throw most downs, but seemed to get happy feet once the count got to 5+ seconds. Did not throw the ball well tonight. Consistently behind his receivers. Was it just an off night? Or did the defense get to him? Not sure any team has blanked the King's #1s for a quarter all year and they did it for the whole second half. In many ways CCS killed themselves. FOH pointed out the penalities on teh first drive of the second half and a penalty pushed them back on the second drive inside the 10. CCS has good secondary. Not sure it will be so easy to replicate game plan on defense.

interesting.... Sounds like Cougars gave them a pretty good game

could have easily been 28-21, but King's D rose to the occasion in the red zone, with help from penalties.

Well tonight the knights partly answered the question "can King's stop a primarily running team" although hoquiam is a better running team. Unfortunately, they raised another question "is dropping 8 the way to stop the knights?" the way it appeared to me is that Green was scrambling for 5+ yards or making a completion almost every pass play when they were in the spread, but once they put 4 in the backfield and tried to run the clock out, CCS put 8 in the box and was able to stop them, although Kings' drive in the 4th quarter ate up 7 minutes. Also they were much more successful running out of the spread because CCS only had 5 in the box vs. 7 offensive players whereas in the 4 back formation it was essentially 9 on 9 in the box. Just my thoughts

The TNT had CCS at about 50 yards rushing -- I am guessing most of those were #33 Ramos.
