Who Northmont wants to stop tonight
Northmont High School football coach Lance Schneider said his team’s defense is solid and the offense has improved since a 23-3 loss against Cleveland St. Ignatius.
He also knows Wayne presents a lot of problems for foes. The Thunderbolts (4-1) host Wayne (5-0) at 7:30 p.m. today.
On defense, Schneider says the Warriors are “athletic and do a pretty good job of mixing things up. It’s hard to get a handle on what they do defensively.”
At times, the Warriors disguise coverages by keeping four defensive backs in a line and changing who moves where after the snap. Northmont quarterback Chase Belton needs to make correct reads to keep the offense going.
Offensively, Wayne features standouts in quarterback Braxton Miller and running back Erique Geiger. The key for Northmont is different than some might think, according to Schneider.
“Geiger is a big threat,” Schneider said. “With Braxton, you need to keep him in the pocket and make him throw the ball. If you let him run around, he’s going to beat you.”
Last year, Northmont led 14-0 but lost 21-14. As a freshman, Miller had just 13 yards of total offense and two interceptions. But Geiger was the difference with an 85-yard kickoff return for a touchdown and a 30-yard TD run.
The Thunderbolts have a good pair of cornerbacks in C.J. Barnett and Quintin Cooper. So it sounds like Northmont will take its chances with Miller throwing.
Special teams is a wild card. Geiger has been a prolific returner in his career. Northmont had a few punts blocked earlier in the season. So on offense and special teams, Geiger is the Thunderbolts’ top target.
“If we can stop him, we’ll win the football game,” Schneider said. “If we let him run amok, we’re in trouble.”
