Monday morning quarterback

After looking at this weekend's games, it appears that quarterback play propelled several teams this weekend.

The Tolsia-Fairland game that I was at simply got ridiculous with passing -- over 530 yards and six touchdowns between the two teams.

Cabell Midland also found its running attack that had been missing in the first three losses...the end result was a 49-6 win over Lincoln County. Tyler Bartley was also efficient, completing four passes for 135 yards to Jordan Marcum -- three that went for scores.

Bartley and Marcum will most assuredly test their ability to connect this week after Spring Valley gave up five touchdowns and 301 yards passing to Nitro in a 49-21 loss.

Huntington also is showing signs that they can score on the opposition, but they are spotting teams double-digit leads before they get in gear. After being down 33-10 in the fourth, C.J. Crawford led the Highlanders to a pair of scores but fell short in a 33-25 loss.

With all this being said, the norm in West Virginia football has always been a power attack and a strong running game key victories. Locally, we are seeing teams try to air it out with mixed results this year.

THIS WEEK's QUESTION: Do you think the de-emphasis of a running attack is hurting local teams in West Virginia?

Hit me up...Week 5 starts now!
