There you go again BlueJay.. bringing up that 2010 game! :sarcasm:

2010 game was not much of a contest. DSJ pretty much scored at will and Ada only had 2 second half touchdowns. The 2009 game, however, was an entirely different animal. If the OHSAA could have found some officials with 20/20 vision (how you can miss a block in the back directly in front of the ball carrier which springs said ball carrier for a touchdown is beyond me) the state final for DVI would have had a different pairing. Ada vs DSJ 2009 was well worth the price of admission.

That is very true, if that call was made it probably would of change the whole outcome of the game. If ada doesnt loose to dsj for the 3 straight yrs they could have 3 state titles. Because whoever comes out of our side of the region will win state, the other side is awful. I HAVENT HEARD FROM JEFFCAT IN AWHILE? :eek:

Like I've stated in an earlier post on here, when it comes down to week 10 and on, the lack of skill at the QB position could play a big roll in how far they go. If he can continue to improve over the next few weeks, they could go a ways in the playoffs but as much as it hurts me to say, LCC, Marion Local, and others will no doubtedly target this area. Now don't take it the wrong way.... he's probably Ada's best option at the position but I would of liked to have seen more from him against the struggling USV Rams. His numbers weren't too bad but his actual play was quite obvious. Now Decker on the other hand, the kid is a BEAST!

Not sure why you seem to have a bone on for this kid but it's getting pretty obvious.

I thank god we don't have clowns posting like this from the BVC that are as immature as you.

Say what you want but at a scrimmage you still run plays on offense and you call plays on defense and Arlington physically beat up Ada for one half of football and Ada kept score 31-6. Also, I think LCC had no one compete with them in their conference schedule last year closest game was 3 or 4 TDs and in week 11 they matchup with the BVC #2 team and get embarrassed give up 300+ yards rushing and lose by double digits. Maybe if the BVC sucks and the NWC is so much better they should've prepared them for week 11 and the beat down they were about to recieve.

Just so people can stop scratching their heads as to what happened at the Arlington scrimmage, Ada changed its defensive scheme after the 2nd play of the match (this was due to an injury to an Ada defensive back). Ada came into the Arlington contest moving players around to different positions from the prior scrimmage with Parkway. That coupled with changing horses mid-stream (ie new defensive scheme after 2 plays) led to an Ada meltdown. Two starters on Ada's defense against Arlington were benched and have not started a game since. The lesson for all here is better to figure it out at a pre-season scrimmage than after the season starts.

Ada's quarterback is good. Don't underestimate him. He's better than Baker, there last quaterback. He can be inconsistent at points, but he's really good when he's not. Also, let's remember he has an All-State wide receiver (Ansley) to throw, too.
Acheson is not as good as Baker. Baker has more arm strength, atheltism, and talent. You forgot to mention the Wilcox kid, Roberson, and Decker, too.

You are right about Acheson not being as athletic as baker but Acheson has a better pocket presence then baker. Baker scrambled to much and didn't always make his way through all his reads, where as Acheson is able to stand in the pocket and make his reads and then scramble.

TheFan, the qb had 250 yards and 3 touchdowns on 20 pass attempts against USV. He probably only threw the ball a few times in the second half. If this were a typical 40-50 pass attempt Ada team he would have probably gone for 4-500 and many more tds.

USV gave up 49 points to a running Riverdale team, pretty sure that defense isn't one to brag about getting stats against.

Ada has 1 quality win right now in Spencerville. Only 2 more real tests left all season— pending how Jefferson does again LCC this week as both are 4-0. Current DJ opp record is 4-12 — so Ada will continue to roll until a good matchup week 10 vs LCC. In short, they're good. No one can dispute that. How good? We'll have to wait and see come week 1 (and possibly further) of playoffs against similar talent. Win or lose against LCC doesn't matter as much as playoff wins. What's better: 10-0 reg season + lose 1st round OR going 9-1 + winning regional finals? C'mon, we all know the answer.

Thanks for some insight on the situation. Those are things you never hear about unless you are close to the program. Like I said, if they are better now than good for Ada and kudos to the coaching staff for seeing that changes needed to be made. Many times coaches don't see those things until it is to late.

Ada's d-line is looking good, too. They're getting pressure on the quaterback and not letting up big rushing numbers. They will also have most of them coming back next year, too.

By the way, if anyone was at the Ada vs Bluffton game (part 1) tonight, they were treated to Ada scoring twice in the first 5 plays of the game. It took 3 plays for Ada's offense to score and 2 plays for Ada's defense to score. However, as Bluffton's field became sloppier Ada became less dominant.

I totally agree... Ansley is a stud. However, comparing Acheson to Baker is like comparing Ansley to Jackson. Pretty good players but not thaaaat good. Like I said, once they get to week 10 and on, the talent level changes drastically so let's just hope Ada continues to improve in the areas that will no doubtedly try to be exposed. I do feel so far, this is one of Ada's better defenses and I hope they continue to play physical football. That alone can help keep them in the hunt.
No I am from Ada and Acheson is clearly better than Baker.

I think it is debatable (ie worthy of discussion) regarding who is the better quarterback. Baker is hands down the better athlete. He is stronger, faster, and a better scrambler. But Acheson so far, in my opinion, does a better job of not staring down his reciever. I think the key to success in Ada's passing game is spreading the ball around equally to the recieving corps. Too many times I witnessed Baker stare (ie broadcast intentions) at his intended target and try to force the ball to his favorite but covered reciever while other(s) were running open. When Ada distributes the passes equally to Ansley, Wilcox, Robeson, Zippy, and Decker (based on who is open) they are hard to stop. By the way I thought it was pretty cool last night watching Acheson throw a touchdown pass against Bluffton and then line up and long snap the ball for Waller on the PAT.
