D-R-I-L-L-E-D!!!!!

I believe Independence lost this year in one of the Ohio vs. USA games.

You're right. I believe Alcoa had 3-4 future Mr. Football's on that team--if you count the freshman class--4 or 5 future D-1/D-1AA players(I could be wrong on this--it might be more). Didn't Warren start at Florida State as a freshman? The coaches threw everything at Alcoa but the kitchen sink!! A lot of cajones. Most exciting high school game I have ever seen--start to finish. That "cute" OC seems to be doing OK at HCHS this year!! Might be a good choice when Mansfield retires in 2020. /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

Ethan is a great young man---it breaks my heart to here that. I hope he is keeping his head up. I know he worked so hard to come back from last year.

No offense by the "ol d timers" that actually did win the Podunk Bowl in '65. You guys had to tough with those leather helmets and no face masks. I'd be worried some of you might put a whoopin on me if you could chase me down pushing those walkers. /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

Hardhead, I am glad you spoke up. There are few coaching staffs in West Tennessee that can compare with Huntingdon's. With all the injury problems of the last couple of years---it is truly astounding that the Mustangs have been able to succeed at all---but that's just how it goes. From 2003-2005 the Mustangs had few major injuries---and obviously in AA or A that is key. With a healthy team last year I think the Stangs would have been at the Boro---it was basically the same line as in '05 and an obvious wealth of talent at other positions. I just wish these Fair Weather Fans would support the boys---it is so easy to make losing a habit. Sure Daddy's team won the Podunk bowl back in '65---times have changed. These boys are winners. The memories are so short for some of these fans. Huntingdon Football has always gone in cycles---I believe Huntingdon just might have had a few bad years before this year and last year. Bear Bryant would have a hard time winning with this kind of support. I wonder if Coach Ward had to put up with this kind of criticism. These boys went through a lot with last year's season, disgruntled fans, losing teammates and ex-teammates forever. They stepped up and worked as hard as any Huntingdon Team has ever worked to prepare for this year---which sure ain't over yet. Go Big Blue!! Somebody please give me an update on Ethan---is he done for the year?
