Does anyone the status of our players that were injured in our game with Kenwood?

Liberty will be a tough opponent for HC in week 0. I do think HC will win but it may be a closer game than one might think because they will have a revenge factor going and their speed will probably be close to equal as HC has this year. I am not sure but i think they have most of their skilled position players coming back. CJG and his fine staff will have the BIG RED ready come Aug.21. They will NOT come in to Patriot Stadium and light up our new scoreboard IMO.

I know everybody has other obligations and commitments but there does not seem to be much talk about HC this year compared to last year other than an occasional update on a scrimmage or a practice. It is only 2 weeks before the lights come on. I hope everybody is ready!!

From what i saw from last friday nites game , not only did the players come out tight or sluggish, but the coaches i think were trying to out think themselves instead of doing what has worked all year for them. This happened last year in the playoffs as well. I know that the other team has seen film on us but do we go against our strengths if they can't stop us ! In the players defense ( and i do not have a relative playing ) they were starting a different lineup on the OL and that may have thrown them off a little but after the regular starters got in there they seemed to settle down and execute as they have all season. I give coach Gaddis credit or whoever the coach was for using # 3 as the punter, as you have so many options when he is doing the punting, plus if the return man was to break it we would have our fastest player back ther to tackle him. Maybe he will have some more surprises this week for Melrose. I certainly hope so as i will be there at Orange Mound friday nite to cheer on the BIG RED MACHINE !!!!!!!!!

Has anyone heard what the status is of our starting LB #56 ?

Yes i agree, we did not put a lot of pressure on the NS qb, but they had as big of off. line that we have seen this year and we also had possibly our best DLineman out with an injury and he will be out this week as well. Last year Lamar stayed in their backfield all night and we need someone to step up and do it this year.

For those interested, Coach Gaddis will be on channel 50 on cable from 8-9pm. with Murphy Fair and Hope Hines and another coach talking high school football.

with the rain that we have had this week and the middle school game played on the field does anyone think that the field will not be in the best shape. I noticed last week that around the 30yd. lines that it was being torn up some.
