Analyzing What We've Covered So Far - Part 3

The third and final post giving a brief analysis from what we've seen from new teams we've featured on our High School Football broadcasts.  This is only for the new teams we've had a chance to look at this week, the two who were on for a second time this season will get covered again when we take a second look later this week.

Cambridge/Salem Indians 54, Lake George/Hadley-Luzerne War Eagles 0
Cambridge: This team is solid.   The offensive line helps shift the defensive line forward and creates positive opportunities for the running backs.  Calvin Schenider airs it out every so often to keep the defense guessing.  And Doug Luke likes getting Tommy English involved when it comes to taking snaps, whether it be a wildcat set or English dropping back to pass.  Tyler Lindendoll being successful on the run also opens the door for opportunities for English.  In short, this team has only a few issues, which was their shotgun snaps.  But that can be pointed at the fact that the Indians were down their regular Center.  The Indians will be a threat to go deep into the playoffs.

Burnt Hills Spartans 55, Glens Falls Indians 27
Burnt Hills: The Spartans figured out the holes in the Glens Falls defense and use those holes to give DJ Lashley a career day at the Spartans Homecoming.  Five touchdowns, three on the ground and two by air, offered little doubt on paper who was the difference maker in the game.  But it was the whole team coming together.  Darien LaPietro was great under center, and showcased his talent best in the closing stages of the second quarter when he put together a two-minute drill that ended in Lashley's completion for a touchdown as time expired.  Vincent Daviero was another strong starter for the Spartans, and Bryce Mussen and Jakai Townsend complemented the main two with some good touches of their own.  Gordy Adams played the role of Tight End well, and all of this was why Burnt Hills scored on every possession, except for the final when they kneeled the ball down in victory formation as time expired.

More blog posts to come this week, including a look at the playoff implications for this week, a second look at all the teams we've covered and a preview of the upcoming playoffs.
