A great day for Decatur County. Thanks to you for what you do for the program. Wished my Dad was around to see this. He watched me and my 2 brothers play for 10 years in the 70’s and 80’s for the Panthers and then he spent several years as the PA announcer. He saw the first playoff game in 1981 and many more after that. Go Panthers!
Funny story about playing Glencliff. Hville played them about 10 years ago at Glencliff. Entire chain crew quit at half time. PA guy has the following announcement “ have you ever wanted to be part of the chain crew, now is your chance”. Fortunately 2 of our regular guys were at the game and filled in.
Fairley has 10 shutouts in 12 games. Only 2 games they gave up points in they lost. Lost to Northpoint Christian 28-13 and Covington 42-38. Watched their game with Northpoint late last night. Spread on offense with a lot of speed.
Commandos hang on 41-34/ great job by RB’’s Cooper Jordan, Dale Payne, and the offensive line. Not a great job by the defense but they did get a big sack in the last 2 minutes to seal it
Beech and HC win easy. Same recipe for Hville and Springfield, play physical, run the football and control the clock. I would suspect Springfield will play nickel or dime defense the whole game. Watched Southwind against Horn Lake MS and Melrose, their passing game is pretty good. Make them go the distance, nothing easy. Good luck to all!
