realgame, that's exactly what I am not selfish. I love winning. I am just asking a question, not being negative, I am just taking up for those ones on the side line. Not complaining just having freedom of speech just like you. Go big red. Just asking. Don't take everything so personal as if I'm talking bad about the players. They have done nothing wrong and I never implied that they did. Once again just taking up for those with less talent. you must have never been one of those that stood on the side line game after game.

For your information, i have no son that plays. I am a big red fan. I am just saying that when the score is 46-6 why not let the third string or more play? Does it hurt? I do understand that some players need experience for next year. With this winning team that henry county has there will be plenty of these chances for the second string to get experience and playing time. I just think that some of these less talented players play all their high school career, not to be just hitting dummies in practice, but to just maybe get to play in one or two games before they graduate. I am not bashing the coaches, becuase they are by far the best that's been at henry county for years. And taking a knee is a good thing. It shows respect. It shows that even though we are winning we are still concerned with that kid getting up and walking off the field on their own free will. Prophet, winning is winning, and when it's by that big of margin, try to get most of the players in for some of them this will be there last chance. Just because they have less talent does not mean they have less heart.

As long as you win who cares about the kids. Just like seeing kenwood take a knee when our player got hurt and our boys couldn't. It's all about winning, not about the kids.

Can someone explain to me why that when the score is 46-6 and every senior on the football team does not get to play. I understand that winning is important, but you know I noticed two things in this game tonight. 1. that we had a player hurt and kenwood players took a knee when our own players did not. 2. the score was 46-6 and there were players on the side line that did not get to play. Have we gotten to the point were winning is more important than the kids, because it sure felt like it tonight. Don't get me wrong. I love to win as much as the next guy and lord knows I love Big Red Football, but why not let those that can't start the game or score a touchdown, play two - three plays a game. It looked sad as some 30 or more players stood on the side line as younger players were aloud to go in the game. Don't they get to play in the freshman games? Keep winning your games as the kids stand on the side line, who I know practice as much as the starters, stand there waiting to go in as they never do, because winning is far more important than letting these kids play. Come on Henry county 46-6? and not everyone play?

Oh by the way see you later fastcat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! johnwayne out.

Go Big Red. Although not there in person, I will be there in spirit. Bring another win home and be safe.

The BIG RED looks as if they could easily walk away with another winning season and regional title. The talent they've got replaces the talent they lost, they just need to step it up in some key positions. DB and WR are two slots that needs special attention. DB have some what been a thorn in our side and I was hoping that this year was the one we would pull that thorn out. According to the scrimmage with Milan, it seems as if it's still there. Any idea of what we need to do to improve there? are we working on other areas and lacking in this one? Does the DB coach need help? Go BIG RED! johnwayne out

Baseball is a Spring sport and football has become a year around sport. A guy who loves baseball, and is good at it, should play if he wants to, but there is nothing about baseball that will keep ANYONE in shape for football. I have coached and played both, and there is too much standing around in baseball for it to help keep a player in shape for ANYTHING. If the competition is tight for the QB position, and one of the competitors misses Spring practice, then it is BOUND to have an impact on the competition.

IF YOU HAVE PLAYED BOTH THEN YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND. WHAT ABOUT THE KIDS THAT PLAY BASKETBALL, SHOULD THEY NOT PLAY FOOTBALL OR BASEBALL. MOST ATHLETIC PEOPLE PLAY MULTIPLE SPORTS AND IT IS NOT UNTIL THEIR SENIOR YEAR OR AFTER THAT THEY DECIDE WHAT SPORT THEY ARE GOING TO PLAY. SO LET THESE KIDS PLAY MULTIPLE SPORTS AND SHINE AT ALL OR NONE, BUT I CAN BET THAT THESE KIDS WILL PLAY JUST AS GOOD IN THE FALL IF THEY DON'T ATTEND ALL OF SPRING TRAINING OR IF THEY ARE THERE FOR ALL SPRING DRILLS....JW /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" />

I never saw Skylar play qb.

You are so right. I should have put Jay. you know that it's sometimes harder to do two things at one time for us older folks.....jw /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" />

My feeling is that if a guy plays baseball and misses spring practice and he is the best qb on the team that he will be the qb in the fall. If he is not the best it wont matter if he misses spring prastice or not. Its too bad though that any of them have to miss.

You know it seems to me that baseball is a spring sport and football is a fall sport. I know how important spring training is, but I do know that football is a couple of weeks were as baseball is for 8 to 10 weeks. Playing baseball for 8 to 10 weeks will keep JAY in shape for the fall as well. He did have alot of time playing at the qb postion, so he will be ready to play that postion in the fall.

well, it's taken me awhile, but here goes...

 

HC: we didn't bring our A game; B+ at best. if the lines don't hold, have bad decision making, don't wrap-up tackles, throw interceptions, and do not capitalize on turnovers you're going to lose. that's what happened. it's not like we didn't have opportunities to change momentum, we did...but we didn't do a whole lot with it. our play calling was predictable, we didn't utilize a good passing game, and got stuffed running up the middle.

 

this will be our last chance to reach the finals for several years, i was hoping we'd at least make the game. but, overall it was a great season, record-setting, and showcased the best talent we've probably ever had at one time. i'm wondering if all the pressure was too much and that they got burned out near the end. you can only do something so much before you get tired of it.

 

as for "who will probably win state"...Maryville is going to be tough to beat. I'm not sure either HC or Hillsboro can beat them. Too much experience, excellent coaching, and tradition.

 

Good luck seniors, you were outstanding this year. I hope to watch at least two of you on Saturdays next fall.

DO YOU NOT REALIZE THAT HALF OF OUR "O" AND HALF OF OUR "D" ARE JUNIORS AND WE HAVE ALOT OF TALENTED PLAYERS COMING UP. SO DON'T LET THE FUTURE HC PLAYERS HEAR YOU SAY THAT THIS WAS THEIR LAST CHANCE FOR SEVERAL YEARS TO BE IN THE FINALS. GO BIG RED!! /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" /> JW

I think Hillsboro is a great team. I predicted Hillsboro over HC. Sorry to jump, just a little defensive...I believe Maryville's past record against Hillsboro's speed and size deserves some credit. It will be another great championship game.

FROM A HENRY COUNTY FAN-------GO HILLSBORO!!!! YOU'VE GOT THE SKILLS TO TAKE THIS ONE AWAY FROM MARYVILLE. REMEMBER THEY PUT THEIR PANTS ON THE SAME WAY, IT JUST TAKES A LITTLE LONGER, YOU KNOW THEM HAVING TO TAKE OFF ALL OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP RINGS THEY WEAR. GO HILLSBORO!!!!! KICK SOME. /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" /> JW

 

 

 

 

I love that GIF /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

GREAT GAME! HILLSBORO YOU ARE A D*** GOOD TEAM. I HOPE THAT YOU BEAT MARYVILLE, BEFORE THE TEAMS GET REALIGNED NEXT YEAR. HENRY COUNTY, GOOD JOB, ALTHOUGH YOU DIDN'T COME HOME WITH A WIN, YOU SHOWED CLASS AND SPORTSMANSHIP ALL YEAR. GO BIG RED/GO BIG GREEN AND YELLOW. /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" /> JW

From Your Neighbors In Mckenzie, Take Em To The Woodshed!

THANKS BUTCHIE, AND I HOPE ALL GOES WELL WITH YOUR REBELS TONIGHT TOO!! /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" /> JW

I will agree to disagree. They are nothing like melrose. Special teams are much better and overall team speed is greater. You will see.

NOW THAT HC FANS ARE HEADED TO THE GAME MAYBE HILLSBORO FANS WILL FINALLY BE ABLE TO TAKE OVER THIS THREAD, ALL 7 OF THEM........ /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" /> JW

ROFL try 10 headed monster /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

YOU KNOW WITH ALL THOSE 5 AND 10 HEADED MONSTERS IN HILLSBORO, I'M HAVE AFRAID TO GO, DIDN'T KNOW THEIR CHEERLEADERS WERE THAT UGLY. /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" /> JW

Just looked at the radar. I wonder what a light rain will to the HHS air attack?

I HOPE IT RAINS EARLY AND QUITS, I DON'T WANT THERE TO BE ANY REASON FOR HILLSBORO TO SAY WE BEAT THEM, LIKE I CAN HEAR IT NOW, "THE ONLY REASON HENRY COUNTY WON IS BECAUSE IT RAINED." HORSE PUCKEY AGAIN, I WANT TO BEAT THEM FAIR AND SQUARE...GO BIG RED /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" /> JW

I'm looking forward to see him taking on some of the LB's that Hillsboro have. Especially him going toe to toe with that #2. He's only a 10th grader, but man can he hit.

I GUESS WE WILL HAVE TO FINISH THIS TOMORROW. /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" /> JW

Is it just me or does Henry County's fullback kind of run like Barry Sanders? I was surprised he ran with that kind of vision and had the cuts he did for being such a big kid.

JUST WAIT TILL YOU SEE HIM IN THE OPEN. GO BIG RED!! /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" /> JW

I am with you brother! This game is going to be one for the ages! Tomorrow being Thanksgiving, it should go by rather quickly - especially if you eat plenty of turkey and get a good afternoon nap. And then the magical day will be on us, ahhhhhh - GameDay!

DID YOU RUN EVERYONE OFF BUT ME? /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" /> JW

Something tells me they didn't concede.

 

I bet they went to bed.

 

How do you think the game will go?

[/quote

THINK IF HENRY COUNTY COMES OUT LIKE THEY DID AGAINST MELROSE, WE LOSE, IF HENRY COUNTY COMES OUT AND PLAYS BALL LIKE THEY HAVE THE REST OF THE SEASON, WE WIN, MAYBE NOT BY MUCH, BUT WE WIN. THERE SEEMS TO BE MISTAKES BEING MADE IN THE LAST TWO GAMES THAT WE SHOULD HAVE MADE EARLY IN THE SEASON. I HOPE THAT WE HAVE GOTTEN THAT STRAIGHTENED OUT. WHAT YOU THINK? /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" /> JW

It didn't work.

 

You think they went to bed?

EITHER THAT OR THEY CONCEDED LIKE MELROSE DID WITH 3 MINUTES LEFT IN THE GAME. NO FAITH. /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" /> JW

OK, I'll get it going again. HHS is good and all, but with only 2/3 the roster of Henry County, they won't be able to compete for lack of depth.

FACTS ONLY YOU ARE SMOOTH.. GO BIG RED!! /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" /> JW
