CRESTVIEW — Crestview High School’s football team continues its home stand Friday night, when the Bulldogs host Mosley out of Panama City.
The Dolphins are coming off a 24-13 win over Rutherford. Mosley’s offense is led by Jimmy Daniel and Ezra Gray. Crestview defensive coordinator Thomas Grant says the Bulldogs will have their hands full trying to stop the talented duo.
“They have two dynamic running backs that are very fast, natural, smooth runners,” Grant said. “We have to do a good job of team tackling. We can’t let them get in the open field because they will run away from us.
“Their quarterback (Peyton Calhoun) is a pretty good player. They have two receivers that are really good. Defensively, they fly around to the ball and do a really good job.”
The Dolphins run multiple offensive sets that include a spread offense and a more traditional I formation. Mosley’s defense also will line up in several formations.
Grant said the Bulldog offense and defense must play smart and not be confused by everything Mosley tries to do.
Bulldog starting quarterback Rusty Moorer received an injury to his throwing hand in Friday’s 47-20 win over Northview; his availability for Friday is uncertain.
If Moorer can’t go, Corey Armstrong, Crestview’s starting middle linebacker, is likely to start at quarterback.
“Whenever you can start the year 1-0, it’s good to win," Grant said. “Obviously, we have a lot of things to work on from that game.
“We are getting in here, watching film and correcting those mistakes. Usually, you see the most improvement from game one to game two. I’m excited to see how we handle this week.”
