Midview coach Bill Albright didn’t seem to happy to see me Saturday. Then again, he’s never seen me approaching him with a video camera.
I wouldn’t want to see me either in that case.
But, my guess Albright was more upset at what he saw on the field at Avon Lake, the sight of their final game of the 2007 season. In that playoff meeting, Avon Lake would have beaten Midview via mercy rule if there was one. Saturday in the scrimmage, it didn’t look that bad. Two touchdowns through the air were the scoring highlights, and both went to Avon Lake.
Up front, Midview hung with the Shoremen for the most part. Some of the mistakes in the secondary had Albright less than pleased, but the toughest part for Midview this season is simple.
How will the Middies rush the quarterback?
They lose Drew Ebersole and Ross Moore from last season’s team. Those two combined for more than 30 sacks in each of the last two seasons. Whenever I’d look at the area statistical leaders, Moore and Ebersole were both atop the sack leaders on a consistent basis.
I expect Midview to be tough. Afterall, this is Midview.
If Albright wasn’t upset about anything Saturday, then it’d be time to be worried.
