I wish I could have seen it -- snow and all! Does anyone know if it was televised in North Louisiana --

It was probably a better game than most Division III games this year!

It appears the kicking game was the issue -- Capitol has their backup QB kicking -- Evangel no doubt has a specialist --

I hate the idea of going for two to win the game, instead of going for overtime.

Philosophically, it makes no sense.

Where was it -- I looked everywhere! I just kept pressing refresh on NOLA.com

Highlights showed Capitol had some slippery hands on their receivers --

Yes, I've seen their kicker when they came to Barbe High to play. He was punting the ball 60 yards no lie. But his kicks do get blocked frequently due to his slow movements

Yes but when you do not have a true kicker and you have a running back who does pretty well on conversions it is your only choice.

If I were the Capitol High coach, I would start scouring my attendance zone for kids who play soccer in order to create a true kicker/punter -- it seems to be the only thing that separated him from a trip to the dome this year.

Here are the stats --

Evangel 21, Capitol 20, OT

Team CHS ECA

First downs 24 6

Yards rushing 254 14

Yards passing 255 221

Passes (C-A-HI) 28-41-0 13-23-0

Punts-avg. 4-30.7 8-45.1

Fumbles-lost 3-2 1-1

Penalties-yards 9-80 5-25

this statement makes no sense...

Philosophically means of or relating to a particular philosophy

It was capitols philophy that they will win more times then not in
going for 2 points vs 1 from the 3 yard line.

So, philosophically it makes perfect sense... They stuck to their philosophy.

a philosophy is a belief -- it is what a coach wants to do in the ideal world --
maybe strategically is the better word for the situation

not having someone who can kick a field goal is a reality --

if your attendance zone is in a part of town where the number of soccer kids who can turn into great field goal kickers is close to ZERO, and you are having trouble growing one at home your strategic REALITY is that you have to run the ball and work for a better than 50% completion rate, regardless of what you would want to do as a coach with perfect resources

that said, I will smile from ear to ear if I see the CHA coach "just handing out" at the Burbank or Independence soccer fields with his eyes on next year :)

Agreed... Strategically is the better word.

And also agree, the reality of what you have to work with dictates philosophy and strategy

they were already IN OT and..... a dropped pass or two was bigger than not kicking.
