[Gridiron Grit]

Hey Gridiron......remember I told you that the QB situation is worked out. Man is it ever. Gordon had been sharp as ever and Creek still really hasn't opened up the play book. Been an even distribution of the ball around to a lot of receivers and Creek is running the ball a lot more. Gordon has only missed on a few passes all year, I think he was 15-18 passing both nights (Im pretty sure those are the #s) that's 30-36 with no INT's. And Creek truly hasn't opened up to throw to its lethal duo of WRs on the outside much. Dunn/Taylor. I think this sets up very well for Creek going forward.

I saw the game, and the kids did look sharp in the first half. I understand pulling Gordon in the second half with a running clock, but why put in #6 (the Senior)? Why not put in #3 (the sophomore and start getting him some Varsity reps against a team that he could clearly handle). I'll tell you why, Harmon (for some reason) has a personal issue here that I can't figure out. Maybe it's admiration, or a sense of loyalty to the Senior QB. Whatever it is, it isn't good coaching. Because #4 is heads and tails better. We'll see next week against Henry Clay when he will need his best QB in for the whole game whether or not he does just that. I will share this, and I know it because I know a close friend of a parent, Gordon has been splitting reps equally all week in preparation for Perry County, and was told after missing school due to illness that it wouldn't be good to miss any practices at this point, because there is still an open competition at the QB spot. So he went to practice. That is a fact! So if you have a clear starter, why isn't he getting the majority of the reps? Why is there still an open competition with almost 1/3 of the season finished? I'll tell you this... the lack of reps will hurt this passing attack down the line when they really need. Eventually this team will have to play a quality ball club.
