I wonder why Hickman County Coach Swenson came for only 3 years and took the team to the final 4 last year and never had any of these problems? Are the people at East that bad? I have a bunch of family in east and they are not bad people . Somthing must really be wrong over there to have this much drama. Could it be the coach most of you are co-signing for on here is in reality not cut out to be a head coach ? I played for Coach Swenson for 2 years and he was a good coach, and we had some real dummies on our team but for the better of the team we needed them, so he worked with these idiots for the sake of the team, he could of threw them off the team, but each player brought somthing to the table that helped us,so for the sake of the kids who give thier all, he effectivly managed these guys so the goal was met, that is smart coaching. East could of won many more games last year had a certain coach not been so heard headed and realized he should of bent a little. In being so bullheaded he got a whole community ripping him and eventually led to his leaving.

Well stated BIG DAWG, now a question for anybody at EAST who may know the answer to the question.we were wondering why the Q back kept and ran so many times, if he ran with authority would be one thing , but to hit the line and lay down makes one wonder? When he threw, it was for a bulldog 6 points. #22 seemd like his hands were tied, could not break loose, I know the kid is a great runningback, but why did he keep laying blocks for #24, I think this has been the case all season for East. Hope they get it together, we were kinda shocked how well the defense contained ( without our 2 main backs), but they wore down and the floodgates opened. You guys got a good team, heart,grit, good attitudes. If your Coaches get thier heads out of thier behind and realize this style offense just dont work, ya'll can be real good from what I can see. Prayers for "Tater" hope he is not hurt too bad. Can anybody tell me why this "great coach" left the Varsity in after we put the JV in? Nice return for Tyler Heymans getting a TD in his return debut. Roll on bulldogs................

No Deliverance banjos in Centerville............... Hole in the wall.....YES. Just like last year........bring your circus and all your cousins . Bulldogs will have revenge.......

Hickman will have to go back to play Lewis in thier home town..... but Hickman should be at full strength. Remember last year? It will be a game to look forward too, i cant wait to make the trip to Hole in the wall........ I can already hear them "deleverance " banjos playing.

Hickman 56 East 0 . No mo mr. niceguy.

Lewis will lose with or without Scott, dont harp on Scott.......we did not build our team around him. Many more hungry bulldogs on the team...........Friday Night Bulldogs will rise out of the dust as victors..........it is destiny

????no Hickman county? When they Beat Lewis friday maybe somebody will put them on the list

Good luck guys............. this will be a win for you. East Hickman wins by 7.

The bulldogs will bring pain to the pantherettes.............. Hickman by 14.

Sorry to report the Middle School Coach is a joke, they are not on the same page as the high school. The middle School has some very good atheletes but keeping the same system is not a good idea. To piggy back each other will not work, our middle school got embarrased by east hickman middle and they do not run that same worthless system the high school does, you have got to do what works for your program, match the kids to what works for them. i hope they get it worked out that was embarrasing.

It has been a long time, actually never. Has the bulldogs had a team this good. But as much as people will deny it, this is the last year of success like this. They can keep working hard and good things will happen, but sorry to say ,after this year, this era is over. You see it all over the US. every 25 years or so go by and out of the shuffle there is a majical group, This is the story here. I hear all the stories from the dads in the stands talking about how good thier team was and that is all good, but reality is Hickman County has never seen a team as this, and take it from me, they really can go all the way this year . They have the tools to do it. they are adjusting to the changes that took place ,they looked a little shaky at first but the ship is back on course, and things are working out. All people are wanting is to relish this as long as it can last, but in the backs of thier minds they know its over. That is where the frustration is. coach Smithson is a nice guy, his dedication is unmatched,but I have seen other sides of him and the public opinion is about split. Good and bad can be pointed out. For the parent to get mad.....well there are 2 side to every coin, I understand both views.Just support coach Patterson and stand behind him, the sea will get rough again but he is good captain of the ship. think back 5,6,7 years ago when the football program was horrid. we dont need to run this coach off.

Whats up Coach Smith , hope things are going good for you.

???????????? What are you trying to say?

Frustration is to be expected, it is how one deals with it..... Good luck boys....... We are looking for a win this week.

Ha ha....... Glad to see him leave to go west with all his wisdom and knowledge that was one of the poisonious insects that kept trying to knock Coach Jones rising program.......that dude is nuts for real, good riddance.

11 fairview players will not be enough to stop Sowell, it wont happen, Hickman wins big, if the defense gets it together, Hickman wins real big.

You kids are in for a suprise.....East has stepped up, please take East lightly....... you will lose that much more. East 28 , Collinwood 20

The New coach was with all them last year as Swenson asst. they believe in him, He has moved into a very good position.

Maplewood, or Pearl Cohn............... Give East Lit a few yearsthey will be in the mix as well.

East Hickman has now seen the level they need to raise to to compete. they have lots of heart but need to keep pushing. BGA is a very skilled team, plays executed well.

They look like they have a long way to go still, I was pulling for East Hickman, but from my observations, Defensive and Offensive lines are a factor,4 foot tall safetys dont help much either, and 4 or 5 fumbles for turnovers, and completing 1 forward pass over the line of scrimmage the entire game will not get it......... the worst thing about this ,the one completed pass out of 2 attempts was to BGA that resulted in 7 BGA points. The first quarter numbers had to of been negative yardage. But on the other side of the coin BGA is a very skilled team. Hats off to East Hickman they never gave up.
