Salisbury has a good chance to win it all this year. Noke can only hope they are at least competitive. If they are able to stay in the game then it will bode well for them the rest of the year.
This is a classic because then you’ll kill ‘em for not playing any good teams. Best time to play them is at the beginning of the season in my opinion. You might get one or two openings from late march/ april. Why not play them early February? Think it tells you where you’re at as a program. Any coach with a nutsack wants to schedule those teams.laxdad1434 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 27, 2023 12:08 pm I mentioned this in another thread and I'll say it again. Getting spanked by 10-15 goals in the 1st game of the season to a much better team isn't going to make them a better team. It makes no-sense to schedule a team like Salisbury that early in the season.

Love your spirit…good luck.
I think this is fair but the question is what is a good outcome? Win outright? A close loss? Not getting blown out?BigFella wrote: ↑Fri Jan 27, 2023 2:27 pmThis is a classic because then you’ll kill ‘em for not playing any good teams.

Why did they play the girls team? RandyMac was the all girls campusBrain wrote: ↑Sun Feb 05, 2023 12:19 pm Noke with a 14-10 scrimmage win against RandyMac yesterday. Noke pulled starters in the 4th with RandyMac keeping them in the full game. Hearing the younger Kammerman may be better than the older, should be enticing for match up purposes against teams number 1 lockdown guy. Still no idea about faceoffs, hasn’t been fixed since Tuma graduated. Big test next week

… so this is why I keep hearing that the Kammerman’s are overrated. Cannot find a way to finish around the net. Still can’t find a reason for the hype.JustOneTime wrote: ↑Mon Feb 27, 2023 10:41 am Tough one for the Maroons yesterday. They know they can hang with the good teams but need to figure out a way to win these games. It was not one glaring issue vs Dickinson but just a few untimely mistakes. Face off unit lost 11 of 30 but it didn't feel that lopsided. Just need to make it a scrum and try to get to 50%. Goalie play was a bit uneven. He would make some nice saves but then let in some what appear to be easier looks. Tough to tell if he was screened on them. Defense played fairly well. Did not give up too many 6 on 6 goals but need to improve the communication. Seems like they should look to slide a bit quicker. The clearing game overall was solid. Just unfortunate that a couple of the failed clears led to quick goals. Attack looked great at times and then would make a forced pass or rush a bit. The Dickinson goalie is good but I thought we made him look better on several occasions by missing a few dunks.
They have a big stretch coming up against teams that will present a challenge. Just need to stack some wins to build up some confidence.
Tough to say 23 is overrated when he’s played 4 games in his career. As far as 41, what part about him is overrated?BTB Enthusiast wrote: ↑Mon Feb 27, 2023 8:26 pm… so this is why I keep hearing that the Kammerman’s are overrated.

To say both of them are not overrated should come with some statistics. Looking at past ODAC seasons Roanoke has not been able to get over the hump and it’s because they rely too heavily on players like 41 when they can’t handle the heat. They are similar to HSC with Sean Duffy, when he leaves, they will be able to reach their best form.LaxDad45 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 28, 2023 7:44 pmTough to say 23 is overrated when he’s played 4 games in his career.
