Great point, this is exactly what happened to Locust Grove back in 2015 when they had Mason Fine at QB.  Arguably the most prolific passing attack in the state caught some bad weather against Lone Grove in the quarters...  needless to say, Locust Grove couldn't run the ball.

I'm with lb40.  Something else most folks realize is with colder weather and a colder ball the kicking is even worse.  Also the cold ball is much harder to grip and catch.
Running games rise to the top and weak spec teams hurt even more.
I'm not worried about Fairview vs Snyder, we've got a good enough running attack and a great defense.  Anything can happen though.

What teams have the best special teams? It is class A. Would assume there’s not a whole lot, but I could be wrong.

Well I can only comment on the ones I’ve seen this year..for example the kid from Stratford could easily win the game for them tonight..you get him with the wind and he can bury 50-60 yard field goals and I $hit you not..he has one of the best legs I’ve seen in awhile..he was putting thru the uprights on the kickoffs the other night, oddly enough though he was not a good punter..on the flip side wyneewood and Ringling both have good return players on kick returns and punt returns that if given the chance to field it can take it to the house…the biggest issue is if you are not going with the wind your punter better try to kick it end over end and very low or the field position will change in a hurry..you give anyone short fields in the playoffs and they will make you pay..Ringling’s kicker is inconsistent but can also make a field goal from around 30-35 if he has the wind..otherwise Koons would just go for it on fourth..so it’s not just the kicking although that is huge, it’s teams that set up great returns that can change the momentum of any game..I assume some other teams I’m not familiar with might have a kicker/punter or two..this also included the snapper..and special teams as a whole..you get some snaps on the ground or sailing over the punters head with the wind tonight that could be trouble as well..too many teams lose games by one or two point and the special teams lack of execution..

Agreed..the issue all teams will face is they really didn’t get to practice or prepare in this weather since it came in last night so the ones who make the best adjustments and handle the adversity will win…could mean we have some teams win tonight that we’re not expected too..I truly believe there are cold weather teams that can adjust and thrive and I believe there are teams that just are not cut out for it and will fold..I played ball too long and seen it every year when this weather hits..kids are more worried about the elements and getting hit than blocking it out and pushing through it..nothing worse than taking a hard hit in the cold..kinda like hitting a baseball off the handle In The cold..you don’t want anymore of that $hit..lol. Hanging on to the the ball in this stuff will also be key and on their minds with every snap to the QB and every handoff to the backs..it takes true mental adjustment..

He was making them from over 50 in warm ups coming out of half..he has D1 leg without doubt.. so if they can get him close he can be a complete game changer..
