The only way any year can be big for Southview is if Mayzes can get out of his own way. He needs to realize that he isn't the best coach with the best talent in D1. He flounders when he plays a team with talent that can match his and gets out coached. We went from a 3-4 defense that put heavy pressure on the McKinley QB by using several blitzes in the first half to the same defense that we ran against Springfield. Offensivley Gant played phenomenal he was unstoppable but oddly enough we stopped throwing to him until the game was out of hand, Bowers played well but he was double teamed most of the night, and Valdez got them the ball. Like the McKinley poster stated we shredded their defense in the first half. But in Mayzes fashion we came out in the second half in a bunch formation and attemted to run the ball when our passing game was so effective. Also they have to let Valdez choose his options at receiver and not make him focus on one receiver. Which in my opinion handicaps Valdez's abilities tremendously. That coupled with several athletes sitting on the sideline while playing an excellent McKinley squad that plays all of their players you get the 49-21 score. That's my two cents.
Mayzes needs to take power away from his OC, Demars. Demars was terrible as head coach at Springfield, he isn't any better at Southview as the OC.
Southview was totally unprepared for the second half. They gave too many second chances to McK with two botched punt recoveries in the first half that led to McK scores. You can't let a talented team like McK any chances like that. Those were huge momentum changers.
McK's size and speed wore SV down as the game progressed. Hopefully in seasons to come Demars has no input on the offensive playcalling because he is terrible.
