Edgewater's Cedric Baxter Jr. returns to score game-winner vs. Tampa Bay Tech

Jon Santucci, Palm Beach Post

Fri, November 18, 2022 at 11:58 PM

ORLANDO — Cedric Baxter Jr. couldn’t have picked a better time to play his first full game in more than a month.

The Edgewater senior running back, ranked No. 6 on the USA Today Florida Network top 100, rushed for the eventual game-winning score in the fourth quarter as the top-seeded Eagles held on to beat Tampa Bay Tech 28-24 on Friday night in a 3 M regional semifinal.

“This is really my first game back in a long time,” said Baxter, who’s been dealing with a hamstring issue. “So to come out here and get the dub in a hard-fought game, it felt good. I feel good, I’ve just got to get back into the groove of things.”

Baxter, a Texas commit, was the focal point of the Titans' defensive game plan, which helped Edgewater quarterback Chase Carter break loose for a pair of touchdowns in the first half. Carter also threw a first-quarter touchdown pass to Camp Gobler, a Northwestern commit.

There were no penalties on his fourth-quarter run — a 47-yard scamper up the middle. Once Baxter broke free of an attempted leg tackle and got into the open field, no one was going to catch him.

“I told the coaches, ‘Let’s keep running power,’” Baxter said. “I felt like I was going to break it. I just needed to get into a rhythm and that’s what we did.”

As for his recruiting, with little more than a month to go before the early signing period, Baxter remains firmly committed to Texas.

He said Florida State’s been recruiting him hard, but he’s not going to flip.

“They’re definitely trying,” Baxter said of the Seminoles. “Nah. I’m committed to Texas.”

It’s gotten so bad only Lincoln Fucking Hawk can fix our offense game planning.

.. his wideout tracked the ball nicely.

Was going to say, if that was Ewers to Worthy, Worthy would have kept running straight upfield and then ball would’ve landed 3 yards away from him towards the sideline.

Just watched the highlights of the Desoto's 2nd round playoff game against Rockwall Heath. Looks like DeSoto have 2 RBs ahed of Wisner.

I posted it earlier, they’re playing him at WR.

I think Baxter sees how we use Robinson and envisions himself there (yeah no shit sherlock) which is why he's going to stay, as well as his relationship with Marion.

That being said, you can immediately turn this performance on Sark and say "if Bijan can do this, why didn't you feed him like this last week?."
I'm glad Bijan is popping off today to calm some of the FSU smoke honestly.

TCU's defensive gameplan against UT was stacking 9 in the box & forcing Quinn to beat them. That's why Bijan didn't get more carries. Everytime UT ran the ball, they'd get stuffed by TCU overstacking the box. When Quinn starts hitting the downfield throws more consistently, opposing defenses will stop playing UT like that.

The reason we struggled against TCU was because Sark wasnt throwing it side to side and intermediate where the gaps were. He was running it and throwing it deep, which is exactly why that defense is designed to stop. Quinn not throwing better deep balls isn’t why we lost to TCU. That was on Sark.

Sark went full Herman. Bringing in TEs and stacking the box vs a stacked box. Meathead football. I love it when you can get 5 yards a pop running, but to your point spreading it horizontally makes it harder to stack the box

Defensive players and running backs should like what they have seen. If our passing game struggles cost us receiver recruits, hopefully NIL and the transfer portal can address that.

I don't think he will. I think he will end up at NC State and reunite with Tim Beck.

End up a low 4* composite?  Would think he and Goosby may have a shot.

Definitely think he gets moved up a good bit based on senior season.

All decked out in Texas gear.

Multiple sites are gone have to move him up in their rankings/ratings for Walton to move up to a low 4-star composite.

I like Deal but it’s always kinda bothered me he’s dead set on playing DT.

Same. If he's a much better O-Line prospect than a DT prospect, than UT might as well save his spot for a portal guy or another H.S. recruit.

These DB recruits, is it no surprise to anyone that they might not want to play in a soft zone defense that has been eaten alive all year?   That we have all been asking wtf are they doing this?  Play Texas run slants, underneath throws, complete them, draw safeties in then throw deep….  It’s a unbeatable formula if you have a decent qb.

So that's the conclusion you came to after how great the defense has looked these last 2 games?

Seems like he learned a bit yesterday and called/designed a game much more to what we can do well as opposed to what Sark wants us to do well. Baby steps.

The more I read on Surly,  the TCU defense was designed to stop everything. 
Not a bad idea,  It worked too.

What has been so bad about DB recruiting recently for you to make this comment? I sure do hate having Malik Muhammad and Derek Williams currently in this class. First world problems.
