Venice at STA- Game of the Week

[DisabledAccount]

Broward What are you seeing at the game so far?

[BrowardHandicapper]

Honestly. Venice had 1 drive assisted by penalties. Venice does not have the size and especially the speed to compete.

It is a massacre to be blunt.

 

I don't know how Venice was averaging 60 pts a game this year...... Respectfully, Venice would have trouble moving the ball against a lot of teams in SFL...

Running clock in effect for a while now. STA just running the ball...

46-8 final.

I knew STA would have to play a bad game and Venice would have to play their best game in order to get the nod in this one being that they lost in 3OT to #1 team in the nation Bishop Gorman. I thought it would be a lot closer. I was totally wrong. It was a great season for both teams. STA will steamroll the winner of the other semifinal game being that Venice beat Plant earlier this year.

They could play twenty times and STA would put a running clock on them 20 times. Not as close as I thought it would be. The Venice players fought till end and showed good sportsmanship.

Venice Fan ---- WARNING BAD LANGUAGE

Good game Venice.  You won all of the games you were supposed to this year and you won most of them very soundly.  My thoughts....

 

Try to schedule a decent SFL team ( or 2)  next year with a fast defense ( there are a lot )  Does not have to be an STA.  Even a 5-5 type Norland type team could be beneficial.  Just find fast Defenses....You may find some plays work better than others versus what was successful in your region.   The Venice RB was good but most of the plays run were getting eaten up quickly.  I don't know the Venice playbook but I would have liked to have seen a little more 5-Wide type stuff in the 2nd half.   It just looked like Venice was trying to go deep in their playbook and nothing was working for the most part. 

 

Venice needs: Size on the OL.  More Speed - overall.  RB and a couple WRs were fast but by the time they got open the pocket collapsed and the QB was smothered.

 

Impressed me. Venice QB did through a few nice balls when he could breath, and his arm looked very strong.  RB was very good but STA sees comparable speed on almost a weekly basis plus they practice against it...Venice had a few good plays in the game but overall I think the difference in the game was the STA size and speed.  Especially Defensively.  Hard to prepare for that stuff....

 

Keep grinding!  Best of luck in 2017!

Venice Fan ---- WARNING BAD LANGUAGE

 

Nutjob!  How the he11 did she get on the field in the fist place?  There were a few cops walking around the track the whole game.

 

She sounds foolish.  "Exploit black men"  I would like to ask her what Venice will do for their players when this "s#1^" is over...LOL.  Listen, lady if you're reading this the only thing STA does is set these kids up with a great High School educational opportunity and an opportunity for a future as a potential student athlete at an accredited University - Shame on STA, right? 

 

I think she is just a jealous hater.  She makes 0 sense.

She may have had a few in her....I spoke to a few Venice fans.  They were nice people and basically had a "it is what it is " attitude during and after the game.  Nothing close to this.

What I saw on film showed up and will be on its way to winning a 3rd staright title this year. STA much better than we were.

[941football]

In other news.. the fan there along with many other parents were upset. I heard a few things from the stands that was to be expected when you see your players season come to an end.

 

As far as scheduling teams from the south, that is a 3 plus hour drive I cant see us making for a regualr season game. Try to get the better teams from our area but they do not play the same style.

 

We just did not look like the same team we did at any part of the year. Mostly because of STA but in general we didnt do some of the things well. A prduct of not being this deep has to account for it as well.

 

If you are not familar w Venice it does not have the younger popluation that the south has. We are primarily a retirement community that has become younger as of late. We don't get the athletes you are used to seeing.

 

I am very happy to have been able to watch my son play against STA. I said it before it is what it is and in a few short hours the sun will come up for another day.
