Lol I'm still ticked off about that game. Oughta be 4-0 but instead 2-2 cause they can't "FINISH".

No disrespect intended cause you may very well be correct but conditioning in practice with your brothers and your own teammates doesn't quite compare to playing 4 full qts of a game if an opponent is pushing you to your limit. Not at all saying Huntington isn't capable . Just saying they haven't had to all year. Granted they may not have to until Wayne co. I'm just saying its a little different than practice .

Lol well one things certain . I love your enthusiasm . I hope your wrong both for HC 's pride and for Huntingtons growth from a stamina point looking at the playoffs. I could see where it would be difficult to go toe to toe with teams as equally talented as you for 4 qts when u haven't had to play a full 4 qt's all year. Best of luck to both teams . Furthermore and most importantly hope that both teams come out of this game with their health intact .

I agree that HC has had the benefit of playing either sub par teams or just teams with difficult schedules . That being said the stat goes both ways. Huntingtons Opponents Camden 2-4 Collinwood 2-3 Milan 3-3 Perry 0-5 Mckenzie 3-3 Overall 10-18 Again let me clarify so this isn't taken out of context . I've seen the film on each team . HC will have to have there very best to even compete with this Huntington team. Huntington is very good all the way around. Great coaching, great athletes , and GREAT. Size. That being said I don't think the records of either teams opponents credit or discredit what they have done thus far . They are both 5-0 for a reason . Each team has its own flaws and positive points otherwise they wouldn't be 5-0. I look for it to be a tough , physical game. If HC can compete with Hubtington in the trenches it will be an interesting game. If they can't then Huntington will keep rolling.

Lol. Don't get all upset and immature on me. Im not trying to get into a back and forth drama filled forum like you guys and Mckenizie did. Im not so naive to think that HC is a favorite to beat Huntington. Huntington is a very well coached , very physical, and athletic team. I'm simply saying although outmatched by Huntington I believe HC will play till the end of the 4 th qt with heart and keep hitting. Yall may have gotten the best game thus far from Mckenzie but I think HC with be the most physical team Huntington has faced. Everyone else HC has played has had the same outlook as Huntington fans so far, already counting out another 5-0 team before you ever even start the game. Just saying be careful doing that with this team. Everyone else has and came out on the wrong side of the scoreboard.

Just gonna say this . Due to HC's last two years looming over them everyone on these forums everybody the last 5 weeks have underestimated them and expected them lose. Granted one could look at their schedule and say they haven't played a team like Huntington and they would be correct . However, that said maybe Huntington hasnt played an old school team quite like HC this year either. HC doesn't match up well with Huntington but in all honesty , who does? Just saying be easy counting that squad out, they have grit. Collinwood wasn't a game after the first half with neither Huntington nor HC. I do believe this is the first team Huntington will play that will still be hitting them in the mouth in the 4 th qt regardless of the score. I've seen first hand that squad doesn't quit, HC has a grit about them . Should be interesting.

Maybe not I'm just giving them the benefit of the doubt since Wavo is young. No doubt Wavo is the better team but when there is not a lot of upperclassmen on the team mental mistakes tend to happen more often than not. That being said I still think the Tigers breeze through this one .

WC is gonna obviously be a tough match up for HC. It will be interesting to see how they do against them the week after facing Huntington.

Waverly scores 40 + in this one and wins by 2 TD's or more.

I Will however agree after talking to some of HC's coaches Collinwood was by far the most physical team they have played yet. To hear it told #5 is The Wood's pride and joy and according to the HC staff he's an extremely hard runner with the football in his hands. They also said he wasn't the only hard runner that it seemed like all their backs were tough to bring down. Im not sure exactly what started the uproar due to cuts in the film but I do know that one of Hc's assistant coaches said Collinwood's head coach was a class act individual. That he was very apologetic for a couple of his kids actions while shaking hands after the game so who knows. Very PHYSICAL game. Tensions were high and things got a little out of hand. Again according to the film you are right seems like their were some missed calls and maybe some botched calls for both teams from that officiating crew. Seemed like there was an exchange of words midway through the second quarter. Had the ref's taken care of it then, there might not have been an outburst later in the game. It is what it is I guess. Maybe that crew will get it together. I hope so anyway for the next two teams sake.

Ok, Mirrior Thief, I will grant you one thing Collinwood's Kickoff team ( not the entire special teams) play was sub par but so was Houston County's. HC had two kick off returns for touchdowns and CWood had one as well. CWood's return and two offensive TD's with 3 failed 2 point conversions was their total 18 points for the night.Secondly, You stated that HC had several good punt returns as well. That's incorrect. HC only fielded and returned ONE punt and it was by number 15 I believe and he had about a 30 yard return, However, it was not for a touchdown an Woods other punts were directional punts or coverage punts that didn't permit any return. I'm all about being honest and giving credit where credit is due. I'm by no means saying HC can compete or beat Huntington or Wayne because I know very little about any of the three teams. With that said from the film I got from the game HC had 14 points from special teams. If that's the only way HC won the game then where did the other 28 points come from that HC put up???? Take those 14 points away and HC still wins a close one 28-18. This win for HC came from Collinwoods inability to stop HC's run. After the half HC came out up 21-12 and pounded Collinwood into submission. HC simply wanted it more. Whether they will compete with the two powerhouses in the division is left to be seen but give them credit Hc won that game from their will to win plain and simple. They gave up just as many bad plays to Collinwood as Collinwood did them as HC's defense faulted times with Lockley #5 they just didn't quit where Collinwood lost their cool and quit fighting

All I'm saying about Collinwood was after seeing the scores from their previous game against a below average Cornersville team and then seeing the blowout against Huntington I was'nt real sure on what to expect from this particular match up. After seeing the way Collinwood played the first half of the game I was more impressed with their grit than I had expected. Before HC wore them down it was a game the entire first half. HC 's endurance and depth and runningback really helped them wear down the Collinwood defense which ultimately secured their win. Also, Wildcat #2 I too am eager to see HC and Bruceton. From what I've seen from Bruceton they live and die with #49's production offensively. Rumor has it that kid is legit but that's all they have. Not sure of the accuracy in that assumption but it should lead to a better match up than years past between those two teams. I believe Bruceton has taken care of HC the last two years fairly easy.

Yea I believe they got a new head coach in 2011 and went to the playoffs his first two years. That was the end of a 25-30 game losing streak for that school. Since then they've been like most rural county schools they have a good year or two every few years. Schedule plays a big part in it I would imagine but from what I hear this year they are a gritty hard nose team. From earlier posts read collinwood was a gritty team as well and they handled them fairly easy from the 3 rd qt on. According to the score anyway.

Houston County looked good against Collinwood considering. They started slow which is kind of their M.O but got it together once they seen Collinwood's ability to run the football and realized they were as physical as them. There is good football in Collinwood's future for sure. Interested to see if HC can keep it a game against Huntington in week 7. If HC is down by 14 or less in the 4th it will be something for them to be proud of.

If Houston County can shut down Dunn and Davis i think they will come out with a win . I think Houston county will be able to control the boards with returning starters at 6'2,6'3,and 6'4.However, if houston does not establish the inside game before going outside to their main shooter jonathan bell i think it will be a long night . The irish have converted from a slower moving team to fast pace up and down the floor kind of team and that should help them against the indians.Also the indians try and run a man-to-man defense and they dont have the speed nor the quickness to run it effectively. I say the irish pull this one out by atleast 15 points.

Last friday night houston county dropped 14-12 to the indians of east robertson. Houston co. got of to a six point lead when scoring on a 18 yard pass from mcmillan to senior tightend Rick gordon on the third play from scrimmage. However the indians answered right back before the end of the first quater and made it 7-6.Houston co. scored with close to a minute left in the 2nd quarter when quarterback tate mcmillan hooked up with senior wide out jonathan bell for about a 30 yard pass in the inzone to go up only 12-7 after missing the 2 point conversion. With thirty something seconds left in the second quarter the indians ( with help of a 60 yard return ) scored to go into to halftime up 14- 12. Thats how the game would end whenever the two teams came out with dominating defenses and neither offenses could score. The irish play westmoreland next friday night ,the irish have to now win out to make it as fourth seed in the playoffs.

Yea i have some predictions now that every body is through fighting . Babe when i asked your predictions i didnt mean for all this stuff to get started about jonathan bell all i was wonderin is how you knew so much about us but i didnt know that you were in to houston co. football so much . However, my prediction is houston co. 2-0 goin to david lipscomb,I say the Irish 35-7or more.anymore predictions (babe)(Watkins)lol just curious . Your around a lot of football in clarksville tennessee cause i see all the other posts that you make so i imagine that you know a lil bit about MCHS . what are your predictions for tomorow nights game?

Well they do have a very strong ball club however they will have to play to thier very best to beat teams like Goodpasture and David Lipscomb which is thier first region game of the season.

Why is finishing second or first such a tall order.The irish lost to goodpasture by less than ten points last year,and thats with two fields goals and a couple of extra points missed. If you follow Houston county that well you would know what they had coming up this year for a senior class and you would know how dedicated they are.Who is your team ?Who do you root for BABE?Just curious,cause you knew an awful lot about houston county and an awful lot of stuff about players that havent ever been mentioned before.So i figured for you to down us so much at first and down our new coach you would have to know a lil bit about us especially to down jonathan bell cause there is very few people that even knew jonathan bell played football cause he hasnt played since freshmen year.

I personally think houston county will have a good year this year even though they have strong teams like Goodpasture and DavidLipscomb in their region . Last year they finished third in their region ,I predict them to finish second or first this year by upsetting lipscomb or goodpasture. I personally wonder what babe has to say about HCHS?

Houston countyhas 14 or 15 returning seniors and thier whole defensive game is controlled by returning starters .Last year i think that houston county was a little bit underestimated ,however this year i advise other teams to take this team seriously.Cause as a houston county fan i see this year being a break out year for the irish they have thier whole defense and offense returning with exception of two starters (trey mitchell and justin harris) . besides that,they have the same team they did last year that took them to the second round of the playoffs .So to answer your question twittycanes i believe that the irish have a very good team this year even though waverly is a little on the rebuilding side i think the irish have a very strong team on both sides of the ball.

Iplay for houston county and i have seen the films on marion co. and if we bring our a game then we should come out with a win however i still think it will be a good game no matter what . But my predictions on this game is . Houston Co.- 28 Marion Co. 13

I agree with irish fan i think that tyner will have alot on there mind at the game .The latest new about them was shocking enough for me and i dont live anywhere near them i can imagine how there town feels about there football team now.I say it will be a closer game than expected . westmoreland - 21 tyner-35

Houston county travels to Marion county to play friday night . The two teams are well matched , marion county holding a record of 6 and 4. Houston county has a record of 5 and 5. Both teams come into this game with a strong winning streak. Houston county comes into this game with a winning streak of four games . Marion county comes into this game with a winning streak of three games . If you have any predictions of this 2nd place v.s 3rd place match up please give them . HOUSTON COUNTY - 21 MARION COUTNY -13

Houston Co. Trey mitchell he is only 6 foot tall but he is 16 yards from breaking 1,000 and he some how finds a way to come down with the ball
