Booker loses to Sarasota Riverview. Coaching vs. Talent.

[Fla2014]

Booker lost to their cross-town rival Sarasota Riverview. Booker played a VERY sloppy game. They had countless penalties, gave up an onside kick, 2 lost fumbles in which one of the lost fumbles was returned for a touchdown. Booker also had a hard time stopping the run. Riverview would not have been able to pass the ball consistently or effectively against the stellar secondary of Booker and had to depend on the run game. On paper, this game should not have been close at all. Unfortunately, Booker was severely outcoached and undisciplined. Riverview lost to Berkley Prep 35-7. Carrollwood Day beat Tampa Berkley, and Booker put 70 points on Carrollwood Day. I hope Booker can get it together before playoffs because they have a stacked team that could really make a deep playoff run.

You have to wonder how much Head Coach Scottie Littles’ 6 game recruiting violation suspension has affected them. The Tornadoes may have had a senior laden class last year that has caused them to be less experienced this year. Booker putting 70 on Carrollwood Day was very surprising.
