TRADITION

Thank you!

Does anyone know where the LC game field is located? Is it at the high school or off site?

AMEN

Get him some coffee!

I understand your point. But you are right, that was the game changing moment. If the play stands, it is 14-7 going into half. Since it was reversed, CPA kept the ball and scored before halftime. A 14 point swing. Everything you say is logical, I just would have liked to have seen them blow the whistle. I guess I am still confused about the wide receiver running down the sideline waving his hands like he was expecting someone to throw it to him. But enough about that, I wish both teams good luck and good health in the game tonight.

I agree that LC is a much better team than SC, and I am looking forward to a close game!

Although that sounds great, the past is the past. The young men on both sides of the field have an opportunity to add to the history between these two teams. I think the past results will not come into affect as long as it is a close game. The longer it is a close game, the more LC will "believe". Stewart County was very excited last Friday, but as soon as we went up 14-0, the attitude changed. I think it will be a close game, and I am looking forward to attending.

Good luck to you as well. That was the call. But if you saw the film, you would notice that a wide receiver was sprinting down the sideline, and they were trying to run a wide receiver screen and then pass it to the deep wide receiver. That is why the Goodpasture side was confused by the call. That, and if it was a dropped forward pass, why did the referee not blow the whistle. Why did he allow the play to continue? Either way, it was a great game, and both CPA and Goodpasture are great teams. I hope each do well in the playoffs.

You are missing the point. There are alot of players on Goodpasture that go both ways, just like at alot of 2A schools. Mcgavock was a good test because they are the largest school in the mid-state (5A), and were able to wear us down because of thier numbers. Don't forget, Goodpasture is very young, and it was a great test early in the season. Lipscomb was a great game. We were down by 8 with under a minute to go, and we had a turnover inside the 10 yard line. JP3 was a grudge match, and simply put, our boys did not play well that night. Against CPA, again that was a great game. We had two touchdowns called back. One a defensive fumble return which I still dont know why it was called back. And a long touchdown run where a holding call was made on the opposite side of the play! So if you would have know this, im sure you would not have been so sarcastic. This is a young team. The reason Coach Martin plays these teams is to test them early and often, so that they will be battle tested for the playoffs. Goodpasture is a traditional winning program. They just won there 300th school victory. The standard is high at Goodpasture. Our teams are measured by how far they make it in the playoffs, not by there regular season victories. LC had a great season, and I am very happy for them. You should be proud. Coach Martin just likes to play the best competition he can (alot of teams dont want to play us in the regular season). I heard Coach Martin is already trying to schedule MBA and Ensworth for next year, in addition to moving up to 3A. I wish all the boys at LC and GP good health and good luck friday night!

You know that every school is gonna have one or two.

Here at Goodpasture, we fear none except one, but respect all!

Well said!

Does anyone know if Friday's game is going to be at 7:00pm or 7:30pm?

Congradulatins to Benji Cunningham of Goodpasture!

I will help you out. I did not say tha LC has a weak schedule. I said that I did not know what LC does, all I said is what Goodpasture tries to do. Goodpasture tires to play traditional good teams every year. Teams like CPA, Ravenwood, Mcgavock, David Lipscomb, and they also scrimmage MBA. People hear what they want to hear. So when I say the Goodpasture schedules tough teams every year, you hear "LC does not". All I have said is that Coach Martin has a very good blue print, and that consistantly makes Goodpasture a team to challenge for a state championchip every year.

It does not matter how many games a team lost during the season. It matters that who is the best prepared, and playing there best going into the playoffs. What is the use of playing a weak schedule if it does not prepare you for victory? I dont know how LC does it, but Goodpasture plays the top teams to get ready for the playoffs. I can name several teams that were "suppose to win" and had great regular season records, but did not make it out of the first round. Im not saying that this is the case for LC, but I am saying that there is something to be said for building a team during the season, and playing anyone - anywhere - anytime!

I am very happy for you that you have been a member for 4 years. I am sure you are proud. I am proud of our boys and Goodpasture. I just think that we can have fun, but also remember who we are talking about, young men. I did'nt cry or ask you for your online resume, I just suggested that we give these kids a little respect for what they have accomplished. There are alot of young men at home this weekend that would love to be still playing. This game should be very good, between two very good teams. I wish good health to both teams.

Thats sounds great. But just because other people do something, it does not make it right. Yes, you can have fun. But if you are going to say things, remember that the preception is that all GP fans are like that, and they are not. Remember that our school is suppose to stand for something, and trash talking is not one of them. Let other people and schools do that. Just like our young men playing football, they dont trash talk, they let their actions do thier talking. Our kids have been the underdogs all year. Your trash talking does nothing to help our kids or LC's. These boys are not pro's, they are 15 to 18 year old boys. Keep that in mind when you are ripping somebody! It does not sound like you are a father. If you are a current or former student, remember what they preach at school. You should be able to have fun on Coach T, but just remember who you represent and the young men you are talking about. All the teams remaining in the playoffs are good, and I know that I respect and admire these young men on both sides who learn the life lessons that this sport can teach you. Those lessons are teamwork, worth ethic, sportsmanship, and dedication, to name a few. Represent the Goodpasture TRADITION!

Most GP fans have not said they have won the game already. Goodpasture is very young this year, and it is suppose to be their "down year". Goodpasture's record is 7-4 and LC record is 11-0. There is just one fan that is talking trash, but I am sure you could find atleast one for every topic this week. Goodpasture's record is not as good as it has been in the past, but they have faced top level competion from 3A, 4A, and 5A teams, and the coaches are hoping it pay's off in the playoffs. They have approximately 15 underclassmen that play very important roles. It should be a great game, and from everything we hear, LC is a great team, and they have had a great season.

I wanted to offer our congradulations from everyone at Goodpasture to both Kane Crowell of Lewis County and Benji Cunningham of Goodpasture for making the final 3 of the 2A finalist for backs! Well done, and we are excited about watching both of you this Friday!

Good luck to the Cougars. To all the Goodpasture fan's. There will be a charter bus leaving Goodpasture for all the fans that would like to take the bus instead of driving yourself. If you are interested, contact the athletic department at Goodpasture.

Do yourself a favor and dont make statements about "all the smack talking GP fans"! Just because one person is making statements, does not mean everyone is! So put your blanket away and stop making blanket statements! As for the game, it should be a good one, and like always, it should come down to a handfull of plays that determine the outcome. Benji Cunningham is as advertised, but Im sure Lewis County has some good players as well or they would not be in the position they are in. On a wet field, each team will make mistakes. In those conditions, the team that overcomes their mistakes and does not get down mentally usually wins the game. Good luck to both teams, and may everyone stay healthy. Oh and Cougar Brown, take it down a notch ok.

Thank you LCHS. Does Lewis County have speed or size?

Great observation! I agree that you have to run the ball to have sucess in high school football. What type of offense and defense does Lewis County run?

Good luck CPA! We will be pulling for you.
