From what I've been told, I agree with you. It's my understanding that JC works on the pass a whole lot in practice, but hasn't shown it in games because Matney wanted to use it as an element of surprise in a big game. It's my guess that he didn't want to use it against Belfry but had to in an effort to win. I'd guess he'd have preferred to save the surprise for Highlands if the two teams match up. Some coaches like to do stuff like that; others like to show a little bit of everything to force the opposition to spend precious time preparing for everything.

I totally agree with you. JC has not passed because they have not had too. They have a legit first team all state reciever in Welch and Jermy Dillion is an outstanding reciever. Nathan Dillion and Richardson can catch the ball as well. JK is an good QB, running back and reciever and Dillion is a seasoned QB who can through the ball better than most people think. Spread these athelets out and I think JC's passing game could surprise alot of people and it would loosen up the defenses to make the run more effective.

I know alot of people slam Matney here, but he is a very good coach and knows the game. Highlands will be the biggest test JC has ever had, but Matney will have the Eaglaes ready. As we learned last week with Belfry, we have to play one game at a time and get to Highland first.
