dunno that i could have put it any better. it was a beautiful evening. something felt right, from the opening kickoff and throughout the game. even when things were tied up with maryville driving, for some reason, i didnt feel as though losing was an option. it felt incredible to pull this one off. (for hhs) it was a perfect ending to this rivalry and 4A chapter. maryville has caused hillsboro a tremendous amount of grief for some VERY good hillsboro teams in the past. hhs has a tremendous amount of respect for maryville, and this was oh so sweet.
honestly, i have had my doubts about blade the past few years, but he coached an amazing game with a superb gameplan. with a backup qb, blade did not ask perry to do too much. perry is not the downfield threat like young, and blade coached to perry's strengths (got him moving around the pocket, quick reads, short routes). the passing game wasnt great but it was effective. perry played admirably, i hope hes doing okay.
congratulations maryville on a great season . congratulations to hillsboro, state champs!
man, this feels good.
