How is it possible for anyone in 2A to stop Roshauud Paul?
It’s not every day that a guy like Roshauud Paul comes around. He’s committed to Texas A&M, and it’s not just for his size, speed, and other tangibles. He has the intangibles too, he has his reads down, and he can throw it a tad as well. He’s one of those guys who’s just a good player.
If you’re coach Mark Kirchhoff of Iraan, you have a total enrollment of 125.
How do you consistently shut down a guy that’s going to get the ball 60% of the time, can essentially run around your players, and when that doesn’t work, just run over them? I honestly think it’s a trick question: it’s impossible for anyone in 2A to consistently shut Roshauud Paul down. He’s simply too athletic, and the players that have to play both sides of the ball are going to be worn out by the end of the third quarter, allowing Paul to do his damage.
Bremond’s 5-2 wasn’t enough to keep Iraan in check, either.
That Tigers defense is a ferocious one, one that’s shut down a lot of teams. Iraan, bolstered by the tough running of Clayton Kent, was up to the challenge.
The 5-2 is a defense that’s seemingly built to stop Iraan’s split veer, and in the first half, it almost looked like a defensive clinic outside of two plays with broken tackles. I think that’s exactly the point of the 5-2 as well: Iraan was forced to break multiple tackles in order to do anything on offense.
Towards the end of the second half, the Braves’ offense began to click, but it was much too little much too late. When you have a guy like Roshauud Paul, you can afford to give up some big touchdowns.
Bremond will have to rebuild next year.
They’ll obviously miss Paul, but they’ll also miss Joe Williams, who had a great catch for the first score of the game, a significant chunk of their offensive line, and multiple other positions. The Tigers return several key players, including big Cayl Wagner in the middle of the defensive front, and Kaidyn Peralez, another speedster. Replacing Paul will be the difficult one, I don’t think you can ever replace a player as dominant as he was.
47-0.
There’s a reason we talk about Roshauud Paul so much. He isn’t just dynamic, he isn’t just fast, he’s a winner. He is the winningest player in Texas High School Football history, a record that will stand for a long time.
