Prep Football: SMB vs Rocori, Prep Bowl (11/29/2019)

[@brennentoquam]

With all the D1 talent SMB they should have won by multiple touchdowns. But my hats off to the boys from Cold Spring. Great win.

[@bryanberg9952]

Jack Steil (Rocori QB) is a D1 athlete, also. Baseball scholarship to Nebraska. Good athletes and players aren't all defined by D1 scholarships. Both teams had players that had awesome games

[@lordbaelish19]

Let’s put this in perspective how great of a win this was for Rocori. SMB is made up of 3 different schools (Minnehaha, Blake, and St Paul Academy). The fact a 3 team school is in 4A is a complete joke. One of those schools is probably bigger than Rocori is all together…let alone 3 of them🤨 Now, SMB had several D1 players on that field. Suggs top basketball player in the nation and held several football offers. Terry Lockett - Michigan State. Craig McDonald - Iowa State. Peyton Lange - several D1 offers. Chase Carter - Michigan State. Kaden Johnson - Wisconsin. Trevon Howard - Northwestern. How many D1 Rocori guys? None. Absolutely phenomenal team game and elite coaching job. Wow!

that o line has no type of techniques for smb

[@jamesschmidtke5183]

It’s nice to know that in just last game of high school football Suggs cost his team the game. He was well know in the metro area as a complete a-hole.

Rocori corners/safety’s need some work , but they nice with it .

[@MrMalchore]

I watched this as it happened live on TV45. At 27:33 if you pause the video - I've never seen a formation like that before. I thought you HAD to have a center and two guards in formation. I don't know the rules, but when I saw that I was scratching my head - how is that not an illeagal formation? Anyways Grats to Rocori.

[@Jeffrey0001]

No they just have to be on the line

[@henrytheis6538]

It’s our 2 point conversion formation, like a trick formation

[@ian_millerrrr]

MrMalchore there are some teams that use a “swinging gate” formation to try for 2 pt conversions as well. everyone just has to be set on the line for it to be applicable

[@paulsonj72]

Only need seven men on the line of scrimmage. You could have a formation with a center and six guys to either side and it's legal.

[@bryanberg9952]

You don't see the rest of the formation in this shortened version of the TV game. Like what was mentioned by the announcer, and here by Ian M, the "swinging gate" formation has been around forever. The other guys that had to be on the line of scrimmage (minimum of 7 has to be on the line, doesn't matter where the center is, but by rule only the two outside people on the line of scrimmage are eligible receivers...that's why there are "slot" receivers that aren't on the line, and why offenses generally run out of more "balanced" formations) were out of the shot. What made that play amazing (to me, anyway) is that the swinging gate is usually a formation that teams go into, and only run a play out of it if the defense doesn't adjust to it correctly. So I've seen the formation a lot over the years, but almost always, the defense plays it correctly and the offense changes its formation, or calls a time out and does something else out of a more conventional, mostly balanced, offensive formation. When I watched this game live, that's what I expected to happen, but when Rocori ran the play out of the swinging gate formation, it was a shock! Fun game!

[@calebrich807]

Legal formation?

[@Mrcamptast1c]

Caleb Rich yes it’s called the “swinging gate formation” it’s legal because it doesn’t matter who’s on the line, there only has to be 7 players regardless of position.

[@alexhunt.]

you would with all of the D1 players they would be able to beat some small town white boys
