ADEL The Cook Hornets will play your extraordinary Thursday nights video game tonite after they visit this Dougherty Trojans at Hugh Mills Stadium around Albany.
After not one but two dominating dwelling advantages to start this season, the particular Hornets want an identical result on the highway contrary to the Trojans.
We don t mind playing during other places, Cook mind discipline Ken Cofer said. Historically, Cook has continually executed excellent on the road, particularly with playoff games. I form of delight in it. Hugh Mills (Stadium) isn t far too different. We ve recently been generally there before, many of us enjoyed Albany two years ago. Now, Dougherty can be a innovative opposition and has been recently pretty effective having a state championship. I don t recall if it was before your early or maybe middle ninety s. But that they acquired many athletes.
Cook will be the distinct favorite in tonite vertisements game. The fourth-ranked Hornets cruised as a result of their particular first two games, beating Worth County, 36-2, and Crisp County, 37-0.
Dougherty is actually 0-2 after losses in order to Lee County (49-32) plus Westside (41-0).
They re putting a stop to quite a few tips at the moment although they will place ball, offensively, reported Cofer regarding this Trojans.
The Hornet defensive continues to be exceedingly major this season. Through the primary actions groups belonging to the standard season, that Hornets haven t allowed a place within the preserving aspect with the football. In fact, the one tips obtained next to Cook this year came about a security alongside quarterback Ross Pickle from the very first fraction versus Worth County. Since the safety, Cook has outscored it's competitors 73-0.
Despite his safety, Pickle features built the disruption straight into Cook s quarterback quite perfectly following making your transfer through exterior linebacker. In the two mmorpgs the following season, Pickle possesses thrown regarding 256 yards plus three touchdowns and rushed intended for 137 more by using a couple scores. More impressively, Pickle includes grabbed the particular reigns of the wrongdoing and happens to be your leader.
(Pickle) is a leader through example, claimed Cofer of his quarterback. He features been recently trying to play on varsity given that he seemed to be a sophomore. He isn't very vocal. We possess a lot improved command collection in 2010 in comparison with last year. Those guys recently have been quiet. But this specific year, we certainly have some youthful individuals stepping up since leaders. But yes, Pickle is certainly which leader many people look to.
Defensively, the actual Hornets are generally living approximately his or her preseason publicity from Cofer, who informed reporters and fans with South Georgia Media Day that this individual thought this holiday season azines defense will be the very best they will ve acquired throughout Adel because 2010, if your Hornets finished 12-1 and also appeared inside this state quarterfinals.
We usually are not when big (as 2010), however we have a number of speed, Cofer said. We are generally fresh we've found several sophomores during linebacker. We enjoy which includes a lot of enthusiasm.
I told a person additional day, they've got which swagger and that's cures want, Cofer continued. They know they can be good. They assume that will coronary heart whenever another person changes the particular ball with them.
Last week next to Crisp County, your Hornets didn t allow upwards a lot of yards, so their emotions weren big t hurt. The Cougars racked way up just 66 yards of full offense. Tonight, the actual Hornets encounter that striving Dougherty offense that couldn capital t have the finish zoom the other day against Westside.
Offensively, they are a spread staff that could line up within the quad occasionally, nonetheless for the most part there're a spread, Cofer said, incredibly more than us. We plan to function that ball, but they may be far more on the moving team. They will certainly dispose of that a wide range of down.
If there exists something that has pushed Cofer within the frame from the initial a pair of weeks it's penalties. The Hornets committed 17 penalties in the time opener versus Worth County after which it 10 fines inside this morning ersus win next to Crisp. As Cofer explained, the actual among regarding bank charges can be because lack of experience and is something that may develop with much more video game experience.
It is often a combined things, it utes control and inexperience, Cofer said. We have in the younger years this season which can be not necessarily filling up right. Simple stuff like certainly not getting about the line or even shifting when yet another guy is moving. We possessed not one but two problems towards Worth County, within a row, where guys ended up switching and not necessarily cellular lining up on the line, checking with the referee.
They weren t grubby bank charges in addition to I stop to acquire about individuals young children for the reason that re using 100 % speed, Cofer continued. It is definitely mastering this game. We should learn the experience and what on earth is planning on.
Following tonight s sport inside Albany, the actual Hornets will probably have a very full week off before moving straight into region enjoy that has a video game against Thomasville from Memorial Stadium. The online game will probably be the beginning to a challenging region season. Currently, several squads through Region 1-AA will be positioned within the top 10 while in the state, such as Brooks County (2) and Fitzgerald (3).
Right now, Cofer isn t acquiring in to the rankings.
It is exciting to appear at, as far as the children are generally concerned, Cofer said. Coaches can say exactly what they want in order to say. It is really a confidence thing. The challenge is, we have to play a couple competitors in these field which are ahead of us anyone has to lose. It matters when you have to prospects playoffs.
The Cook Hornets could be over heard many season longer about Talk 92.1 FM. Tonight verts adventure is scheduled for your 7 p.m. kickoff.
