Last week I saw Pelham beat Tuscaloosa County in the preseason game. Pelham won without throwing a single pass. Pelham won with a scrappy defense. The scrappy defense was again in evidence last night, but it wasn't until the third quarter that the Panthers attempted a pass, and it was obvious why. Pelham cannot throw the football. The QB looks like he can barely throw the ball 10 yards.
Hueytown beats Pelham 34 to 6. The Panther TD was late and meaningless. Despite giving up 34 points, the defense actually played pretty well against a better offense. You can see the potential of Jameis Winston, the Hueytown quarterback who has verbally committed to FSU, but at the same time, he wasn't as dazzling last night as I expected. But he will certainly be a good one if he picks football over baseball.
Literally unable to throw the ball, Pelham is 100% one dimensional. They will be powerless against the powerhouse regional teams. I wouldn't be surprised if Pelham goes 0 and 10. You can run the fullback up the middle only so many times.
Too bad. The next 4 games are away. It's one and done for me watching Pelham football this year. I might go the Hoover-Vestavia game later in the year, but that's it.
