Nemesis Own Worst Enemy

A change of scenery was in order for this game compared to that played in Logan. Neither team utilized the same quarterback from their previous contest and many players were missing from both sides of the field. With a limited group of players, the Bears tallied 33 points to 6 by the Nemesis.

The Nemesis QB spent more time searching for the snap in the first half and had no time to run any play more times than not. Even after the snaps started to find the vicinity of the QB, the Nemesis were not able to mount much of an attack. Frustration got the most of the team on more than one occasion with pushing and yelling following. The Nemesis seem to have some skilled players but not enough depth to really compete at this point. If the Nemesis can add some key players they will be a team that could compete next year.

The Bears played well and tried some players at different positions. Every once-in-a-while I wonder to myself why some defensive players aren't playing offense. Then I get to see some of the defensive players trying to play offense and I understand why it doesn't happen too often -- at key positions that is. On defense one tries to knock the ball away and on offense one wants to hold onto the ball. Some of the Bear's defensive players have a difficult time holding onto the ball when playing offense -- and every once-in-a-while they end up scoring anyway, making it all the more difficult to tell them they need to stick to defense. :)

The Bears need to win their last game of the regular season to guarantee the #2 seed in the AAA conference. One team from the North division will end up with 7 wins and with a win by the Bears next week they will not have to worry about winning any tie-breaker to take the #2 seed. With the number two seed they will host their first two playoff games and possibly, very unlikely, host the championship game *if* the Rhino-Raiders happen to lose in the playoffs.

Next up for the Bears (7-1) are the Utah Wolverines (3-5).
